Hybrid/Plug-in 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 270V 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.

Charging Information

• Normal Charger: The plug-in

hybrid vehicle is charged by plug-

ging into a normal charger installed

in your home or a public charging

station. (For further details, refer to

the 'Normal Charge'.)

• Trickle Charger: The plug-in hybrid

vehicle can be charged by using

household electricity.

The electrical outlet in your home

must comply with regulations and

can safely accommodate the

Voltage / Current (Amps) / Power

(Watts) ratings specified on the

trickle charge.

Charging Time

• Normal Charger: Takes about from

2 and a half hours to 3 hours at

room temperature (Can be charged

to 100%.).Depending on the condi-

tion and durability of the high-volt-

age battery, charger specifications,

and ambient temperature, the time

required for charging the high-volt-

age battery may vary.

Charging Status

You can monitor the charging status

outside of the vehicle when charging

the high-voltage battery.

Scheduled Charging

(if equipped)

• You can set reserved charging

using the AVN.

Refer to the AVN for detailed infor

mation about setting reserved

charging.

• Scheduled charging can only be

done when using a normal charger

or the portable charging cable

(ICCB: In-Cable Control Box).

• When scheduled charging is set

and the normal charger or the

portable charging cable (ICCB: In-

Cable Control Box) is connected

for charging, the indicator lamp

blinks (for 3 minutes) to indicate

that scheduled charging is set.

• When scheduled charging is set,

charging is not initiated immediate-

ly when the normal charger or

portable charging cable (ICCB: In-

When immediate charging is

required, use the AVN to deacti-

vate the scheduled charge setting.

Charging Precautions

OJFHPQ016021L

■ Normal Charger

WARNING

- Fires caused by dust or

water

Do not connect the charging

cable connector plug to the

vehicle 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.

H7

• 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

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 touch the charging con-

nector, charging plug, and the

charging inlet when connecting

the cable to the charger and the

charging inlet on the vehicle.

Doing so may result in electro-

cution.

WARNING

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.

H8

• 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

there is no water or moisture.

• Make sure to use the designated

charger for charging the vehicle.

Using any other charger may

cause failure.

• Before charging the battery, turn

the vehicle OFF.

• Be careful not to drop the charging

connector. The charging connector

can be damaged.

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

Do not touch the cooling fan

while vehicle is charging. When

the vehicle is switched OFF

while charging, the cooling fan

inside the motor compartment

may automatically operate.

H9

that is certified by Kia.

• Do not try to repair, disassemble, or

adjust the portable charging cable.

• Do not use an extension cord or

adapter.

• Stop using immediately if failure

warning light occurs.

• Do not touch the plug and charging

connector with wet hands.

• Do not touch the terminal part of the

normal charging connector and the

normal charging inlet on the vehicle.

• Do not connect the charging con-

nector to voltage that does not

comply with regulations.

• Do not use the portable charging

cable if it is worn out, exposed, or

there exists any type of damage on

the portable charging cable.

• If the ICCB case and normal

charging connector is damaged,

cracked, or the wires are exposed

in any way, do not use the portable

charging cable.

• Do not let children operate or touch

the portable charging cable.

• Keep the control box free of water.

• Do not drop the control box or

place a heavy object on the control

box.

• Do not place an object that can

generate high temperatures near

the charger when charging.

• Charging with the worn out or dam-

aged household electric outlet can

result in a risk of electric shock. If

you are in doubt to the household

electric outlet condition, have it

checked by a licensed electrician.

• Stop using the portable charging

cable immediately if the household

electric outlet or any components

is overheated or you notice burnt

odors.
