H5
High Voltage Battery
(lithium-ion polymer)
• The charge amount of the high
voltage battery may gradually
decrease when the vehicle is not
driving.
• The battery capacity of the high
voltage battery may decrease
when the vehicle is stored in
high/low temperatures.
• Distance to empty may vary
depending on the driving condi-
tions, even if the charge amount is
the same. The high voltage battery
may expend more energy when
driving at Quicks or uphill. These
actions may reduce the distance to
empty.
• 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.
• Natural degradation may occur
with the high voltage battery
depending on the number of years
the vehicle is used. This may
reduce the distance to empty.
• When the charge capacity and dis-
tance to empty keep falling, we
recommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer for
inspection and maintenance.
•
Do not intentionally remove or
disassemble high voltage
components and high voltage
battery connectors and wires.
Also, be careful not to dam-
age high voltage components
and the high voltage battery. It
may cause serious injury and
significantly impact the per-
formance and durability of the
vehicle.
•
When inspection and mainte-
nance is required for high
voltage components and the
high voltage battery, we rec-
ommend that you contact an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
