  2. Select and then change the settings.
    • Available options may differ depending on the vehicle model and specifications.

Max. % Charge

You can set the battery amount to charge.

  • AC charging ensures the optimal battery performance for a long time compared to DC charging.
  • When the battery amount reaches the target level, charging stops. When you charge only the required battery amount, it can ensure the optimal battery performance for a long time, compared to full battery charging.

AC Charging Current

You can set the charging current depending on the installed charger type.

  • The charging time may vary depending on charging conditions.
  • If a problem occurs during charging, lower the charging current and try again. If you lower the charging current, it may take longer to charge the battery.

Winter Mode (if equipped)

Can increase the battery temperature in advance to enhance the charging and driving performance when scheduling charge or climate controls in winter. This decreases the drivable distance because it causes to drain the battery faster.

  • Available settings may differ depending on the vehicle model and specifications.

Utility Mode

Turns on utility mode. When this function is on, electric systems on the vehicle are operated using the driving (high-voltage) battery.

  • To turn off utility mode, press the Start button.
