ELECTRIC VEHICLE GUIDE

Review of Electric Vehicle

An electric vehicle is driven using a battery and an electric motor. While general vehicles use an internal combustion engine and gasoline as fuel, electric vehicles use electrical energy that is charged inside the high voltage battery

As a result, electric vehicles are ecofr

ndly in that they do not require

fuel and do not emit exhaust gases.

Characteristics of Electric Vehicles

It is driven using the electrical energy that is charged inside the high voltage battery. This method prevents air pollution since fuel, like gasoline, is not required, negating the emission of exhaust gases.

A high performance electric motor is us

n the vehicle as well. Com

ed i pared to standard, internal combus tion engine vehicles, engine noise and vibrations are much more mini mal when driving.

When decelerating or driving down hill, regenerative braking is utilized to charge the high voltage battery. This minimizes energy loss and increases the distance to empty.

When the battery charge is not suf ficient, AC charge, DC charge and trickle charge are available. (Refer to "Charge Types for Electric Vehi cle" on page 1-13.)

What does regenerative braking do? It uses an electric motor when

decelerating and braking and recap tures & transforms kinetic to elec trical energy in order to charge the high voltage battery.

Battery Information

The vehicle is composed of a high voltage battery that drives the motor, air conditioner, and an auxil iary battery (12 V) that drives all other 12 V systems.

The auxiliary battery is automati cally charged when the vehicle is in

the ready ( ) mode or the high

voltage battery is be

ing charged.

power necessary for the electric vehicle to operate (12 V auxiliary battery provides power to the vehicle features such as lights and wipers).

* OBC: On-Board Charger

* LDC: Low Voltage DC-DC Converter

* VCU: Vehicle Control Unit

䳜 Do not remove or disassemble

high voltage components and high voltage battery connectors and/ or wiring (Orange cabling). Also, be careful not to damage high voltage components and the high voltage battery. It may cause serious injury and significantly impact the performance and durability of the vehicle.

䳜 When inspection and maintenance

is required for high voltage com

ponents and the high voltage bat tery, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

High Voltage (HV) Battery (lithiumion polymer)

The HV battery powers the vehicle and peripheral devices.

The charge amount of the HV bat tery may gradually decrease when the vehicle is not driven or charged.

The battery capacity of the HV bat tery may decrease over time when the vehicle is stored in high tem peratures and temporarily in low temperatures.

Distance to empty may vary depending

(cargo, rain, snow, wind, road sur

driving conditions

on the

faces), even if the charge amount is the same. The HV battery may expend more energy when driving a fast pace or uphill. These actions may reduce the distance to empty.

Page 14

Electric Vehicle Guide

CAUTION

NOTICE

The high voltage battery is used when using the air conditioner / heater. This may reduce the dis

tance to empty. Make sure to set moderate temperatures when using the air conditioner / heater and/or use the pre-conditioning prior to departures.

Natural degradation may occur with the high voltage battery depending on

he number of years the vehicle

t was used and/or the number of charging cycles. This will reduce the distance to empty over time.

When the charge capacity and dis

tance to empty keep falling, contact an authorized Kia dealer for inspec

tion and maintenance.

If the vehicle will not be in use for an ex

tended period of time, charge the high voltage battery once every three months to prevent it from discharging. Also, if the charge amount is not enough, immediately charge to full and store the vehicle.

AC charge is recommended to keep the high voltage battery in optim

condition.

Main Components of Electric Vehicle

䳜 Make sure to use a designated

charger when charging the HV battery. Using different types of chargers may have a serious impact on vehicle durability.

䳜 Make sure that the HV battery

charge gauge does not reach E (Empty). If the vehicle 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.

䳜 If

the vehicle is in a collision, con

tact an authorized Kia dealer to inspect whether the high voltage battery is still connected.

The high voltage battery warmer system operates when the charging connector is connected to the vehi

cle. However, the high voltage warmer

system

may not operate when bat tery temperature drops below -95 󳚛F (-35 󳚛C).

If the HV battery is only charged to 80%,

d you minimize the number

an of HV battery charging, you can keep the HV battery performance in optimal condition. (vs charging the HV battery to 100% an/or charging every drive cycle.)

INTRODUCTION

Vehicle data collection and event data recorders

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like sit uations, such as an air bag deploy ment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understand ing how a vehicle's systems per formed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: 䳜 How

various systems in your

hicle were operating;

䳜 Whether or not the driver and

assenger safety belts were

buckled/ fastened;

䳜 H

ow far (if at all) the driver was

essing the accelerator and/or

depr brake pedal; and,

䳜 H

ow fast the vehicle was travel

ing.

These data can help provide a bet ter understanding of the circum stances in which crashes and injuries occur.

EDR data are recorded by your vehi cle only if a non-trivial crash situa

tion occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi tions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash loca

tion) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, sp

ial equipment is required, and

ec access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

SAFETY FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Important safety precautions

You will find many safety precau tions and recommendations throughout this section, and throughout this manual.

The safety precautions in this sec tion are among the most important.

Always wear your seat belt

A seat belt is your best protection in all types of accidents. Air bags are designed to supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is equipped with air bags, ALWAYS make sure you and your passengers wear your seat belts, and wear them properly.

Restrain all children

All children under age 13 should ride in your vehicle properly restrained in a rear seat, not the front seat. Infants and small children should be restrained in an appropriate child restraint. Larger children should use a booster seat with the lap/shoulder belt until they can use the seat belt properly without a booster seat.

Air bag hazards

While air bags can save lives, they can also cause serious or fatal inju

ries to occupants who sit too close to them, or who are not properly restrained. Infants, young children, and shorter adults are at the great est risk of being injured by an inflat ing air bag. Follow all instructions and warnings in this manual.

Driver distraction

Driver distraction presents a serious and potentially deadly danger, espe cially for inexperienced drivers. Safety should be the first concern when behind the wheel and drivers need to be aware of the wide array of potential distractions, such as drowsiness, reaching for objects, eating, personal grooming, other passengers, and using cellular phones.

Drivers can become distracted when the

take their eyes and attention

y off the road or their hands off the wheel to focus on activities other than driving. To reduce your risk of distraction or getting into an acci

dent: 䳜 ALWAYS set up your mobile

vices (i.e., MP3 players, phones, navigation units, etc.) when your vehicle is parked or safely stopped.

Page 82

Safety features of your vehicle

䳜 ONLY use your mobile device

when allowed by laws and when conditions permit safe use. NEVER text or email while driving. Most states have laws prohibiting drivers from texting. Some states and cities also prohibit drivers from using handheld phones.

䳜 NEVE

Cargo

Cargo should always be secured to prevent it from being thrown about the vehicle in a collision and causing injury to the vehicle occupants. Do not place objects in the rear seats, since they cannot be properly secured and may hit the front seat occupants in a collision.

Cargo loading

Make sure the vehicle is off, the shifter dial is in

P (Park) and the parking brake is securely applied whenever loading or unloading cargo. Failure to take these steps may allow the vehicle to move if the shift lever is inadvertently moved to another position.

The following explains seat belts precautions and how to fasten seat belts.

Seat belt restraint system

For maximum restraint system pro tection, the seat belts must always be used whenever the vehicle is moving. 䳜 A properly positioned shoulder

lt should be positioned midway

e over your shoulder across your collarbone.

䳜 Ne

ver allow children to ride in the

ont passenger seat. See "Child

fr Restraint System (CRS)" on page 4-32 for further discussion.

Twisted seat belt

Make sure your seat belt is not twisted when worn. A twisted seat belt may not properly protect you in an accident and could even cut into your body.

Page 98

Safety features of your vehicle

WARNING

Seat belts

Shoulder Belt

䳜 Never wear the shoulder belt

under your arm or behind your back. An improperly positioned shoulder belt cannot protect the occupant in a crash.

䳜 Alwa

ys wear both the shoulder

ortion and lap portion of the lap/

shoulder belt.

Damaged seat belt

Replace the entire seat belt assem

bly if any part of the webbing or hardware is damaged as you can no longer be sure that a damaged seat belt will provide protection in a crash.

Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap sec tion of the belt across the abdomi

nal area must be avoided.

Seat belts should be adjusted as firm

ly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed.

Care should be taken to avoid con

tamination of the webbing with pol ishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged. 䳜 No

modifications or additions

should

be made by the user which would either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.

䳜 W

hen you fasten the seat belt, be

reful not to latch the seat belt

ca in buckles of other seats. It is very dangerous and you may not be protected by the seat belt prop

erly.

䳜 Do not unfasten the seat belt and

do not faste

n and unfasten the seat belt repeatedly while driving. This could result in loss of control, and an accident causing death, serious injury, or property dam

age.

䳜 When fastening the seat belt,

ke sure that the seat belt does not pass over objects that are hard or can break easily.

A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection aff

ded to the wearer.
