Hybrid System Overview
H2
HEV (HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE) SYSTEM
The Kia Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) uses both the gasoline engine and the electric motor for power. The electric
motor is run by a 360V high-voltage HEV battery.
Depending on the driving conditions, the HEV computer selectively operates between the engine and the electric
motor or even both at the same time.
Fuel efficiency increases when the engine is at idle, or when the vehicle is driven by the electric motor with the HEV
battery.
The HEV battery charge must be maintained for the times when the engine acts as a generator, such as when
stopped at idle. Charging also occurs when decelerating or by regenerative braking.

PHEV (PLUG-IN ELECTRIC VEHICLE) SYSTEM
The Kia Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) shares the characteristics of both a conventional hybrid electric vehi-
cle and an all-electric vehicle.
When used as a conventional hybrid electric vehicle, the HEV computer selectively operates between the engine and
the electric motor or even both at the same time.
When it is operating in the electric vehicle mode, the vehicle is driven only using the electric motor over a certain dis-
tance until the hybrid battery becomes low.The driving distance in EV mode depends on customer driving style and road
conditions. Aggressive driving maneuvers may at times temporarily enable the engine to operate for maximum power.
The hybrid battery can be fully charged by connecting a plug to an external electric power source.
The engine can be turned on due to factors such as heater usage and a frequent operation of the accelerator pedal
by a driver in CD mode.

(Watts) ratings specified on the
trickle charge. Use only as a back-
up charger.
Charging Time
• Normal Charger: Takes about 2
hours 15 minutes at room tempera-
ture (Can be charged to 100%.).
Depending on the condition and
durability of the high-voltage bat-
tery, charger specifications, and

Charging Precautions
OJFHPQ016021L
■ Normal Charger
WARNING
-
Fires caused by dust or
water
Do not connect the charging
cable connector plug to the vehi-
cle if there is water or dust on the
charging inlet. Connecting while
there is water or dust on the
charging cable connector and
plug may cause a fire or electric
shock.
WARNING
-
Interference with electron-
ic medical devices
When using medical electric
devices such as an implantable
cardiac pacemaker, make sure to
ask the medical team and manu-
facturer whether charging your
electric vehicle will impact the
operation of the medical
devices.In some instances,elec-
tromagnetic waves that are gen-
erated from the charger can seri-
ously impact medical electric
devices such as an implantable
cardiac pacemaker.
WARNING
-
Touching the charging
connector
Do not to touch the charging
connector, charging plug, and
the charging inlet when con-
necting the cable to the charger
and the charging inlet on the
vehicle. Doing so may result in
electrocution.
WARNING
-
Public Electric Outlets
Do not use old or worn out pub-
lic electric outlets to charge
your vehicle. There may be a
risk of fire and injury when
using old worn out public elec-
trical outlets.
H10
• Comply with the following in order
to prevent electrical shock when
charging:
- Use a waterproof charger
- Make sure to not touch the charg-
ing connector and charging plug
when your hand is wet
- Do not charge when there is light-
ning
- Do not charge when the charging
connector and plug is wet
• Always keep the charging connec-
tor and charging plug in clean and
dry condition. Be sure to keep the
charging cable in a condition where

cause failure.
• Before charging the battery, turn
the vehicle OFF.
• Be careful not to drop the charging
connector. The charging connector
can be damaged.
• Always inspect the charging con-
nector terminals for damage or
overheating. Do not use if dam-
aged, as this may damage the
vehicle side charge connector and
is not a warrantable repair.
WARNING - Charging
cable
• Immediately stop charging
when you find abnormal
symptoms (smell, smoke).
• Replace the charging cable if
the cable coating is damaged
to prevent electrical shock.
• When connecting or removing
the charging cable, make sure
to hold the charging connec-
tor handle and charging plug.
If you pull the cable itself
(without using the handle),the
internal wires may disconnect
or get damaged.This may lead
to electric shock or fire.
WARNING - Cooling fan

2.While holding the charging con-
nector, pressing the locking
release button (1) and then pull it
out.
To prevent charging cable theft, the
charging connector cannot be dis-
connected from the inlet when the
doors are locked. Unlock all doors
to disconnect the charging connec-
tor from the inlet.
However, if the vehicle is in the
charging connector AUTO mode,
the charging connector automati-
cally unlocks from the inlet when
charging is completed.
For more details, refer to “Charging
Connector AUTO/ LOCK Mode” in
this chapter.
