Select 'EV → EV Setting' on the screen.

You can set Winter Mode, Warning and EV route functions.

Winter Mode (if equipped)

The Winter mode is efficient during the winter time when the high voltage battery temperature is low.

This mode is recommended to improve driving and DC charging performances during winter by raising the battery temperature to an adequate level. However, this may reduce the distance to empty significantly as the high voltage battery consumes a lot more electricity.

Also, if the battery temperature is low during driving or when scheduled air conditioner / heater is activated, this mode is operated to improve driving performance.

However, when the battery level is low, the mode is not operated to ensure driving distance.

* This mode is available for the vehicles equipped with the battery heater.
