Precautions When Using The High Voltage Battery - Hyundai IONIQ 6 2023 Owner's Manual

Introduction/Getting Started with Your Electric Vehicle
• Vehicle Control Unit (VCU): Controls the various controllers and sensors on the
vehicle.
• Motor: Uses electricity accumulated on the high voltage battery to drive the vehicle
(same role as an engine in gasoline vehicles).
• Gear: Delivers the rotational force of the motor to the tires at appropriate speeds and
torque.
• High voltage battery (Lithium-ion battery): Stores and supplies power necessary for
the electric vehicle to operate. (The separately installed 12 V battery provides power to
the vehicle when the vehicle is in ACC or OFF.)
WARNING
• Do not remove or disassemble any high voltage battery's connectors and wires. Doing
so may lead to accidents, such as electric shock, and result in serious injury and
significantly degrade the vehicle's performance and durability.
• When the high voltage battery or its related components require inspection and
maintenance, contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Precautions When Using the High Voltage Battery

Precautions for high voltage battery when driving and storing the vehicle are as follows:
CAUTION
• Keep the gauge of the high voltage battery from going below 10 %. Storing the vehicle
while the battery level is too low for a long time may damage the battery or reduce the
battery's capacity.
• If a collision occurs and the vehicle is impacted, have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer and check the battery connection status.
• Using the V2L function may reduce the driving distance due to the use of high voltage
battery energy, and repeated use of the V2L function may impact battery life.
• Frequent use of DC charging may impact battery life.
• The high voltage battery level may reduce naturally even if the vehicle is not driven.
• Storing the vehicle in temperatures that are too hot or cold may degrade the battery
performance.
• The distance to empty or power output may vary depending on the driving conditions,
such as the outside temperature. Driving on highway at high speeds or uphill will
increase battery consumption, resulting in a shorter distance to empty.
• If you use the air conditioner or heater, which is powered by the high voltage battery,
the distance to empty will be reduced. Maintain reasonable temperature when using
the air conditioner or heater to maximize distance to empty.
• Depending on the vehicle's period of use, natural degradation of the battery may occur
that reduces distance to empty over long period of vehicle life. When the charge
