• The charge amount of the high volt-
age 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 conditions,
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
distance to empty keep falling
have the system inspected by a
professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to contact an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.
• If the vehicle will not be in use for
an extended period of time,
charge the high voltage battery
once every three months to pre-
vent it from discharging. Also, if
the charge amount is not enough,
immediately charge to full and
store the vehicle.
High Voltage Battery (lithium-ion polymer)
MAIN COMPONENTS OF
ELECTRIC VEHICLE
• 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 volt-
age components and the high
voltage battery, have the vehi-
cle inspected by a profession-
al workshop. Kia recommends
to contact an authorised Kia
dealer/service partner.
