MAIN COMPONENTS OF

• 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 per-
formance in optimal condition if
you charge the high voltage bat-
tery to 100%. (Once a month or
more is recommended.)

CAUTION
• Make sure to use a designat-
ed 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 vehi-
cle 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 work-
shop to inspect whether the
high voltage battery is still
connected. Kia recommends
to contact an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
The high voltage battery
warmer system operates when
the charging connector is con-
nected to the vehicle.
However, the high voltage
warmer system may not operate
when battery temperature drops
below -35°C.
