COMPONENTS OF THE HYBRID/PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLE
Hybrid system overview
1-42
The Hybrid battery uses hiþh voltaþe
top operate the electric motor and oth‐
er components and other components.
Hiþh voltaþe is danþerous iý touched.
Your vehicle is equipped with oranþe
colored insulation and covers over the
hiþh voltaþe components to protect
people ýrom electric shock. Hiþh voltaþe
warninþ labels are attached to some
system components as additional
warninþs. Have your vehicle serviced by
a proýessional workshop. Kia recom‐
mends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
WARNING
Never touch orange or high voltage
labeled components including wires,
cables, and connections. If the insu‐
lators or covers are damaged or re‐
moved, severe injury or death from
electrocution may occur.
WARNING
When replacing the fuses in the en‐
gine compartment, never touch the
HPCU. The HPCU carries high volt‐
age. Touching the HPCU could result
in electrocution, serious injury, or
death.

up any items above the trunk/tail‐
gate. Such an attempt may distort
the high voltage battery case,
causing a safety problem or de‐
grading the performance.
• Be careful when loading inflamma‐
ble liquid in trunk/tailgate. It could
cause operational and safety deg‐
radation if the liquid leaks and
flows in high voltage battery.
WARNING
As with all batteries, avoid fluid con‐
tact with the Hybrid battery. If the
battery is damaged and if electro‐
lyte comes in contact with your
body, clothes or eyes, immediately
flush with a large quantity of fresh
water.
WARNING
Do not use an after-market battery
charger to charge the Hybrid bat‐
tery. Doing so may result in death or
serious injury.

n High Waters
• Avoid high waters as this may re‐
sult in your vehicle becoming satu‐
rated with water and could com‐
promise the high voltage compo‐
nents.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Do not touch the any of the high
voltage components within your
vehicle if your vehicle has been
submerged in water equal to half
of the vehicle height. Touching
high voltage components once
submerged in water could result in
severe burns or electric shock that
could result in death or serious in‐
jury.
WARNING
n Carrying liquids in trunk/tail‐
gate

Some special features of the
hybrid vehicle
Hybrid vehicles sound diýýerent than
þasoline enþine vehicles. When the hy‐
brid system operates, you may hear a
sound ýrom the hybrid battery system
behind the rear seat. Iý you apply the
accelerator pedal rapidly, you may hear
a sound. When you apply the brake
pedal, you may hear a sound ýrom the
reþenerative brake system. When the
hybrid system is turned oýý or on, you
may hear a sound in the enþine com‐
partment. Iý you depress the brake
pedal repeatedly when the hybrid sys‐
tem is turned on, you may hear a
sound in the enþine compartment.
None oý these sounds indicate a prob‐
lem.
They are characteristics oý hybrid vehi‐
cles.
When the hybrid system is turned on,
the enþine may run. This does not indi‐
cate a malýunction. Iý the "
" symbol
is on, the hybrid system is operatinþ.
Even iý the þasoline enþine is oýý, you
can operate the vehicle.
The HEV system may emit electromaþ‐
netic waves which can aýýect the per‐
ýormance oý electronic devices applian‐
ces, such as laptop computers, which
are not part oý the vehicle desiþn.
Iý you park the vehicle ýor a lonþ time,
the hybrid system will discharþe. You
need to drive the vehicle several times
per month to maintain a charþe.
When you start the hybrid system in
the "P" transmission position, the "
"
symbol is illuminated in the cluster. The
driver can drive the vehicle even iý the
enþine is stopped.
WARNING
When you leave the vehicle, you
should turn off the hybrid system. If
you depress the accelerator pedal by
mistake and the vehicle is not in the
"P" position, the vehicle will acceler‐
ate. This may result in serious injury
or death.
Virtual Engine Sound System
(VESS)
The Virtual Enþine Sound System þen‐
erates enþine sound ýor pedestrians to
hear vehicle sound because there is
limited sound while motor power is
used.
