by pressing the HV button.
When the vehicle is in HV Charge, priority is given to the charging of the High Voltage battery. While the battery is being charged, the

city driving or other driving situations when you need to stop frequently or drive slowly. In these situations, press the HV button again to
disable HV Charge. If you are in HV and approaching a destination where the vehicle can be charged, you can turn off HV and use the
remaining battery power to drive.
