Gauges

Speedometer

The speedometer indicates the
speed of the vehicle and is calibrated
in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers
per hour (km/h).

Motor operation gauge

It shows the energy consumption rate
of the vehicle and the charge/dis-
charge status of the regenerative
brakes.
• POWER : It shows the energy con-

sumption rate of the
vehicle when driving
uphill or accelerating.
The more electric energy
is used, the higher the
gauge level.

• ECO GUIDE : It shows the energy

consumption rate
during normal driv-
ing condition.

• CHARGE : It shows the charging

status of the battery
when it is being charged
by the regenerative
brakes (decelerating or
driving on a downhill
road). The more electric
energy is charged, the
lower the gauge level.

Features of your vehicle

State of charge (SOC) gauge for
high voltage battery

It shows the charging status of the
high voltage battery.
"MIN" position on the indicator indi-
cates that there is not enough ener-
gy in the high voltage battery. "MAX"
position indicates that the driving
battery is fully charged.
When driving on highways or motor-
ways, make sure to check in advance if
the driving battery is charged enough.

When there are 4 gauge bars (near
the "MIN" area) on the high voltage
charge indicator, the warning lamp
turns ON to alert you of the battery
level.
When the warning lamp turns ON, the
vehicle can drive an additional
12.4~24.8 miles (20~40 km) (depend-
ing on the driving speed, heater/air
conditioner, weather, driving style, and
other factors). Charging is required.

When there are 1-2 gauge bars left
for the high voltage battery, the vehi-
cle speed is limited and then eventu-
ally the vehicle will be turned OFF.
Charge the vehicle immediately.
