Aux. Battery Saver+ - Kia Niro 2018 Owner's Manual

AUX. BATTERY SAVER+ (For
Plug-in Hybrid, if equipped)
The Aux. Battery Saver+ is a function
that monitors the charging status of
the 12V auxiliary battery.
If the auxiliary battery level is low, the
main high voltage battery charges
the auxiliary battery.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
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 LCD display. For more infor-
mation, refer to the "System setting"
on the following page.
Mode
• Cycle Mode :
When the vehicle is OFF with all
doors, hood and liftgate closed, the
Aux. Battery Saver+ periodically acti-
vates according to the auxiliary bat-
tery status.
• Automatic Mode :
When the engine start/stop button is
in the ON position with the charging
connector plugged in, the function
activates according to the auxiliary
battery status to prevent over-dis-
charge of the auxiliary battery.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The Aux. Battery Saver+ activates
maximum of 20 minutes. If the Aux.
Battery Saver+ function activates
more than 10 times consecutively, in
the Automatic Mode the function
will stop activating, judging that
there is a problem with the auxiliary
battery. In this case, drive the vehi-
cle for some period of time. The
function will start activating if the
auxiliary battery returns to normal.
CAUTION
• The Aux. Battery Saver+ func-
tion cannot prevent battery
discharge if the auxiliary bat-
tery is damaged, worn out,
used as a power supply or
unauthorized electronic
devices are used.
• If the Aux. Battery Saver+
function was activated, a mes-
sage will be displayed on the
instrument cluster and the
high voltage battery level may
have decreased.
