Hybrid system overview

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.

Hybrid system overview

1-02

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 elec‐ tric 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. Ag‐ gressive 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 THE PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLE

Charging information

• Normal Charger: The plug-in hybrid vehicle is charged by plugging into a normal charger installed in your home or a public charging station. (For further details, refer to 󳱷Normal charge󳱸 on page 1-08.)

• 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 Volt‐ age / Current (Amps) / Power (Watts) ratings specified on the trickle charge.

Charging time

• Normal Charger: Takes about 2-3 hours at room tem‐ perature (Can be charged to 100%). Depending on the condition and dura‐ bility of the high-voltage battery, charger specifications, and ambient temperature, the time required for charging the high-voltage battery may vary.

• You can set reserved charging using the AVN. Refer to the AVN for detailed infor‐ mation about setting reserved charg‐ ing.

• Scheduled charging can only be done when using a normal charger or the portable charging cable (ICCB: In-Ca‐ ble Control Box).

OJFHPQ016009L

• 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 immediately when the normal charger or portable charging cable (ICCB: In-Cable Control Box) is connected. When immediate charging is required, use the AVN to deactivate the scheduled charge set‐ ting.

Charging precautions

■ Normal Charger

OJFHPQ016021LB

WARNING

Fires caused by dust or water

(Continued)

Hybrid system overview

1-06

(Continued)

Do not connect the charging cable connector plug to the vehicle if there is water or dust on the charging in‐ let. Connecting while there is water or dust on the charging cable con‐ nector and plug may cause a fire or electric shock. There may be a risk of fire and injury when using old worn out public electrical outlets.

WARNING

Interference with electronic medical devices

When using medical electric devices such as an implantable cardiac pace‐ maker, make sure to ask the medical team and manufacturer whether charging your electric vehicle will im‐ pact the operation of the medical devices. In some instances, electro‐ magnetic waves that are generated from the charger can seriously im‐ pact medical electric devices such as an implantable cardiac pacemaker.

WARNING

Touching the charging connec‐ tor

Do not touch the charging connector, 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 elec‐ trocution.

• Comply with the following in order to prevent electrical shock when charg‐ ing:

- 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

Charging cable

(Continued)

• Immediately stop charging when you find abnormal symptoms (smell, smoke).

• Replace the charging cable if the cable coating is damaged to pre‐ vent electrical shock.

• When connecting or removing the charging cable, make sure to hold the charging connector handle and charging plug. If you pull the cable itself (without using the handle), the internal wires may disconnect or get dam‐ aged. 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 com‐ partment may automatically oper‐ ate.

1-07

Hybrid system overview

• Always keep the charging connector and charging plug in clean and dry condition. Be sure to keep the charg‐ ing cable in a condition where there is no water or moisture.

• Make sure to use the designated charger for charging the vehicle. Us‐ ing any other charger may cause fail‐ ure.

• Before charging the battery, turn the vehicle OFF.

• Be careful not to drop the charging connector. The charging connector can be damaged.

Normal charge

■ Normal Charger

OJFHPQ016021LB

You can charge your vehicle by plugging into a public charger at a charging sta‐ tion.

How to connect normal charger

OJFHPQ016010L

1. Depress the brake pedal and apply the parking brake.

2. Turn OFF all switches, move the shift lever to P (Park), and turn OFF the vehicle.

3. After unlocking doors, open the charging door by pressing it.

NOTICE
