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 240V 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 because, at times, the engine may come on even at idle to act as a generator. 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 vehicle 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 distance 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 based on a number of factors such as heater usage and a frequent operation of the accelerator pedal by a driver in Charge Depleting mode.

How to Disconnect the Portable Charging Cable (ICCB: In-Cable Control Box)

1.Before disconnecting the charging connector, make sure the doors are unlocked. When the door is locked, the charging connector lock system will not allow disconnection. To prevent charging cable theft, the charging connector cannot be disconnected from the inlet when the doors are locked. Unlock all doors to disconnect the charging connector from the inlet. However, if the vehicle is in the charging connector AUTO mode, the charging connector automatically unlocks from the inlet when charging is completed. For more details, refer to “Charging Connector AUTO/LOCK Mode” in this chapter.

CAUTION

In order to disconnect the charging connector, unlock the doors to release the charging connector lock system. If not, the charging connector and the vehicle's charging inlet may be damaged.

2.While holding the charging connector, pressing the locking release button(1) and then pull it out.

3.Make sure to securely close the charging door.

4.Disconnect the plug from the household electric outlet. Do not pull the cable when disconnecting the plug.

5.Close the protective cover for the charging connector so that foreign material cannot get into the terminal.

6.Put the charging cable inside the storage bag to protect it.

Precautions for Portable Charging Cable

(ICCB: In-Cable Control Box)

Use a 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 AC Charging connector and the AC Charging inlet on the vehicle.

Do not connect the charging connector 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 AC 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 AC Charging connector 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 lightning.

Do not drop the control box, charging connector, 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 a worn out or damaged household electric outlet can result in a risk of electric shock. If you are unsure about the condition of a household electric outlet, have it checked by a licensed electrician.

Stop using the portable charging cable immediately if the household electric outlet or any components are overheating or you smell burning.

H26

Action to be taken when charging stops abruptly

When the high voltage battery does not charge, check the followings:

1.Check the charging setting for the vehicle.

(e.g. When scheduled charging is set, charging is not initiated immediately when the AC charger or portable charger (ICCB: In-Cable Control Box) is connected.)

2.Check the operation status of AC charger, portable charger.

(Charging Status Indicator Lamp for Portable Charger, refer to “Checking Charging Status” for trickle charge in this chapter.)

Actual method for indicating the charging status may vary in accordance with the charger manufacturer.

3.When the vehicle does not charge and a warning message appears on the cluster, check the corresponding message. Refer to “LCD Display Messages”, in this chapter.

4.If the vehicle is properly charged when charged with another normally working charger, contact the charger manufacturer.

5.If the vehicle does not charge when charged with another normally working charger, we recommend that you contact an authorized Kia dealer.
