The charge amount of the high voltage battery may gradually decrease when the vehicle is not driving.

The battery capacity of the high voltage battery may decrease when the vehicle is stored in high/low temperatures.

Distance to empty may vary depending on the driving conditions, even if the charge amount is the same. The high voltage battery may expend more energy when driving at Quicks or uphill. These actions may reduce the distance to empty.

The high voltage battery is used when using the air-conditioner / heater. This may reduce the distance to empty. Make sure to set moderate temperatures when using the air-conditioner/heater.

Natural degradation may occur with the high voltage battery depending on the number of years the vehicle is used. This may reduce the distance to empty.

When the charge capacity and distance to empty keep falling, Have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to contact an authorized Kia dealer/service partner

If the vehicle will not be in use for an extended period of time, charge the high voltage battery once every three months to prevent it from discharging. Also, if the charge amount is not enough, immediately charge to full and store the vehicle.

AC Charge is recommended to keep the high voltage battery in optimal condition.

If the high voltage battery charge amount is below 20%, you can keep the high voltage battery performance in optimal condition if you charge the high voltage battery to 100%. (Once a month or more is recommended.)

CAUTION

• Make sure to use a designated charger when charging the high voltage battery. Using different types of chargers may have a serious impact on vehicle durability.

• Make sure that the high voltage battery charger gauge does not reach E (Empty). If the vehicle is kept at E (Empty) for a long period, it may damage the high voltage battery and the high voltage battery may have to be replaced depending on the level of degradation.

• If the vehicle is in a collision, contact a professional workshop to inspect whether the high voltage battery is still connected. Kia recommends to contact an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

CAUTION

The high voltage battery warmer system operates when the charging connector is connected to the vehicle.

However, the high voltage warmer system may not operate when battery temperature drops below -35°C.
