How to connect V2L
V2L connector (if equipped)

-
Open the cover of the V2L connector.
-
Close the cover after connecting electronic appliances to the power outlet.
-
Connect the V2L connector to the charging hole on the vehicle.
-
Press the switch (A) of the V2L connector and check whether the light (B) is on or off. The light (B) may not turn on normally when:
-
See the battery discharging limit for high voltage battery for driving in Energy consumption menu on the screen. If it is higher than the current amounts of high voltage battery, the light (B) does not turn on.
-
Check whether the light of V2L connector or indoor power outlet turns on or not.
-
If the warning message for V2L appears on the cluster, refer to More Details.
-
If V2L does not operate properly when connecting other electronic appliances, have the vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
-
-
Press the switch (A) to turn off the light (B). You can disconnect the V2L connector when the light (B) turns off and the charging door lock is deactivated pressing the door unlock button on the smart key.
V2L power outlet (if equipped)
-
Connect to the power outlet located at bottom of the rear seat with the EV button in the POWER ON position.
-
Use the mechanical key to unlock the power outlet cover.
-
Check the operation status through the front indicator of the power outlet.
-
Blue: Standby
-
Red: No power supply even though the power outlet is connected
-
Green: The power outlet is connected correctly to provide power
-
LCD display messages
V2L has ended. Battery level has reached the set value

A: V2L has ended. Battery level has reached the set value
When the high voltage battery level reaches the discharging limit set level, the V2L will stop and the warning will be displayed. If you want to use the V2L continuously, make the discharging limit set level lower than the present battery level.
V2L stopped due to excessive power use

A: V2L stopped due to excessive power use
If you use an electrical appliance that exceeds the maximum power output the vehicle can supply, it will stop working and display a warning message. Make sure that the total power consumption of your electrical appliance does not exceed the V2L maximum power output.
V2L conditions not met

A: V2L conditions not met
If V2L is interrupted for any of the following reasons, this message is displayed.
-
V2L connector switch off
-
V2L connector overheating
-
Opening the charging door while using the V2L indoor outlet
Make sure there are no problems with the V2L connector or the vehicle Inside outlet.

-
Do not touch the V2L connector or the terminal of the vehicle charging hole
-
Do not put metal objects to the V2L connector or charging hole. It might be a cause of electric shock.
-
Do not touch the V2L connector, charging hole or power plug with a wet hand. It might be a cause of electric shock. Please handle with a dry hand all the time.
-
Confirm whether there is foreign substance such as water or dust on the V2L connector, charging hole or power plug before connecting. If you connect it with foreign substances, it may be a cause of fire or electric shock.
-
Do not modify or disassemble the V2L connector. There is a risk of fire, electric shock or injury.
-
Do not charge under the following conditions as doing so can cause injury:
-
The V2L connector, charging hole, power plug or cable is damaged, corroded or rusted.
-
The connection is not secure.
-
-
Do not use If the cord of an electrical appliance is damaged or broken. There is a risk of fire, electric shock or injury.
-
Never use an electric heating appliance like iron, coffee pot, or toaster in the vehicle. It may cause a fire and injury.

-
Be well-informed of the manual to prevent accidents.
-
The V2L discharging mode is blocked automatically in case of overheating. (When the discharging mode is blocked, check whether the V2L connector or power plug is contaminated, worn, corroded or broken, or the home appliance capacity is over 16 A. If the temperature falls to proper level after it is left unattended, you can use it again. Use proper home appliances.)
-
Do not modify or disassemble the V2L connector. Failure caused by modifying or disassembling is not covered by the warranty.
-
Do not drop or hit the V2L connector.
-
Do not place objects on the V2L connector.
-
Be sure to disconnect the V2L connector from the vehicle when you are finished using it.
-
When the high voltage battery charge reaches the set discharging limit (%), the operation stops, and a warning message is displayed on the instrument cluster. If you want V2L operation, set the discharging limit (%) lower than the current battery charge.
-
When using various electrical appliances, use them below the maximum power capacity that can be supplied by the vehicle.
-
If you use an electrical appliance that exceeds the maximum power capacity that the vehicle can supply, the operation will stop and a message will be displayed on the instrument cluster. Make sure the total power consumption of the electrical appliance you use does not exceed the V2L maximum power capacity.
-
Some electrical appliances may not operate normally even if the appliance has power consumption less than the maximum power capacity provided by the vehicle.
-
Electrical appliances that require high power during initial operation.
-
Measuring devices that need to process accurate data.
-
Electrical appliances sensitive to inverter type AC power supply. (Inverter: A device that converts DC power into AC power)
-
-
Do not use appliances that require a continuous power supply, such as medical equipment. The power supply may be interrupted depending on the vehicle's condition.
-
Only use electrical appliances under 16 amps.
-
Extend the power cord fully and use a proper voltage plug. Worn, corroded or improper plugs can cause a malfunction.
-
Use a power plug with a ground connection.
-
Do not use high power electrical appliances such as an air conditioner, washing machine or dryer.
-
Do not hang anything on the power cord.
-
For various devices connected to a power outlet, use only products that have obtained national safety certification. For usage and precautions, refer to the manual of the device. (Electrical appliances, multi-outlets, cord extension cables, etc.)
-
For electrical appliances designed for use outdoors, use an appliance, use a product with a waterproof function or use it in a waterproof environment. Do not use in environments with rain or high humidity. (Electrical appliances, multi-outlets, extension cords, etc.)
-
If there is a risk of lightning, do not use the V2L function outside the vehicle.
-
Do not connect multiple portable multi-outlets.
-
When using an extension cord is twisted, it may cause a fire. Be sure to use a cord that’s not twisted.
-
When using the vehicle's outside V2L connector, power is also supplied to the vehicle's inside power outlet. Unplug electrical appliances that are not in use from the inside power outlet.
-
When using the V2L, the cooling fan in the vehicle motor compartment can operate automatically even if the vehicle is turned off. Do not put your hands near the cooling fan when using the V2L

-
Please connect the V2L connector to the charging hole within 60 seconds after the charging cover opens. To prevent theft after connecting, it is changed to auto lock automatically so that it is impossible to separate.
-
When using V2L, cancel the scheduled air conditioning setting. V2L may not operate to operate if the scheduled air conditioning is activated.
-
V2L discharging mode will shut off if the vehicle is turned off using the inside V2L.
-
If the electronic device does not work even though the green indicator is on, reconnect the electronic device plug to the power outlet.
-
Opening the charging door or connecting the V2L connector to the charging inlet, the V2L discharging mode will shut off. Using the inside and outside V2L simultaneously, first connect the inside V2L
