■ If a message indicating vehicle error on the DC charger side is displayed
Even if a message indicating vehicle error on the DC charger side ( ex . vehicle error found , vehicle error
occurred , etc .) is displayed , there is no vehicle fault but possibly a communication error between the DC
charger and vehicle . In this case , there may be terminal damage ( bad contact ) in the DC charging connector . If there is no error with the vehicle , contact the facility manager of the DC charger .
■ During DC charging
●The current charging condition can be checked on the multi-information display .
●The actual charging time may differ from that displayed on the DC charger during charging .
●There may be occasions the radio cannot be heard due to noise occurrence during DC charging
●As the battery approaches full charge , the charging speed will decrease and it will take longer to complete charging .
●Depending on the specifications of the charger ( stand ), charging will stop before fully charging .
●The time to complete charging may change , or charging may stop before reaching the upper limit of the charge capacity , due to the remaining charge of the traction battery , the outside temperature , the specifications of the charger ( stand ), etc .
●It is recommended to avoid frequent DC charging to prevent a decline in the traction battery
capacity .
●Quickly move from the DC charging space for other users after the DC charging is completed .
●If DC charging is performed while the traction battery is extremely
cold , such as in cold weather , steam may come out of the motor compartment or dew may be
formed on the hood . This is because the heat , generated while the traction battery is
warmed , causes snow , ice , or frost to evaporate . This is not a malfunction .
●Depending on the specifications of the DC charger , charging may
stop before the battery is fully charged .
●The charge amount is corrected when the battery is fully charged , so 100 % remaining drive battery
may not be displayed .
