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).

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

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
Normal Charge
You can charge your vehicle by plug-
ging into a public charger at a charg-
ing station.
How to Connect Normal Charger

Precautions for Portable
Charging Cable
(ICCB: In-Cable Control Box)
Use the portable charging cable
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.
Keep the normal charging connec-
tor or plug terminal free of foreign
substances.
Do not step on the cable or cord.
Do not pull the cable or cord and
do not twist or bend it.
Do not charge when there is light-
ning.
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.
