Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Hyundai Electric Cars.
Troubleshooting tips
If your Hyundai electric car is not charging, first check that the charging cable is securely connected to both the vehicle and the charging station. Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris. If using a public charger, try a different charging station to rule out station issues.
If you experience reduced driving range, check your tire pressure and ensure it is at the recommended levels. Also, minimize use of heating/air conditioning, and pre-condition the battery while plugged in to optimize range.
If the vehicle does not start, ensure the 12V auxiliary battery is not discharged. This battery powers the electronics and can drain if the car is not used for a long time. Jump-start it or charge it if needed.
If the infotainment system freezes or becomes unresponsive, perform a soft reset by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds. If the issue persists, check for software updates via the Hyundai Bluelink app or visit a service center.
If you notice a warning light on the dashboard, refer to the owner's manual for specific guidance. For safety, if the red battery or power limit warning appears, reduce speed and avoid heavy acceleration, then contact Hyundai roadside assistance at 1800-11-4645.
