12 V Aux. Battery Saver+

The Aux. Battery Saver+ is a function that monitors the charging status of the 12 V auxiliary battery.

If the auxiliary battery level is low, the main high voltage battery charges the auxiliary battery.

The Aux. Battery Saver+ function will be ON when the vehicle is delivered. If the function is not needed, you may turn it off in the Users Settings mode on the cluster.

Mode

Cycle Mode

When the POWER button is in the OFF position with all doors, hood and liftgate closed, the Aux. Battery Saver+ activates.

Automatic Mode

When the POWER button is in the ON position with the charging connector plugged in, the function activates to prevent over discharge of the auxiliary battery.

* The Aux. Battery Saver+ activates maximum of 20 minutes. If the Aux. Battery Saver+ function activates more than 10 times consecutively when in the automatic mode, the function will stop activating, judging that there is a problem with the auxiliary battery. In this case, drive the vehicle for some period of time or if the auxiliary battery returns to normal, the function will start activating.

NOTICE

The Aux. Battery Saver+ function cannot prevent battery discharge if the auxiliary battery is damaged, worn out, used as a power supply or if unauthorized electronic devices are used.

If the Aux. Battery Saver+ function was activated, the high voltage battery level may have decreased.

System Setting

The driver can activate the Aux. Battery Saver+ function by placing the POWER button to the ON position and by selecting:

'User Settings → Other → Aux. Battery Saver+'

The Aux. Battery Saver+ function deactivates, when the driver cancels the system setting.

WARNING

When the function is activated, the indicator lamp will illuminate and 360 V high voltage electricity will be flowing in the vehicle.

Do not touch, separate or disassemble all of the electric and electronic components and devices, including the high voltage electric wire and connector. This may cause electric shock and lead to fatal injuries.

Also, do not modify your vehicle in any way. This may affect your vehicle performance and lead to an accident.
