Kia EV6: Vehicle long-term neglect and Refrigerant precautions

Vehicle long-term neglect and Refrigerant precautions

Precautions for Vehicles Left Unattended Long-term

1.Keep the Smart Key at least 2 meters (7 feet) away from the vehicle to prevent unintended vehicle start (prevents deep discharge of high voltage battery due to dark current, etc.).

2.If left unattended for longer than two months, driving is recommended for at least 30 minutes once every two months for protection and management of the high voltage battery.

3.When inspecting or exchanging the auxiliary 12 V battery, check high voltage battery SOC reset related problems.

Precautions when retrieving/refilling refrigerant

1.The electric compressor of an electric vehicle using high voltage uses POE oil of high insulating performance.

2. Use a separate equipment (refrigerant retrieval/charging device) for maintenance of an electric vehicle to prevent the PAG oil of a general vehicle from flowing in upon retrieving/refilling the refrigerant.

Kia EV6. Vehicle long-term neglect and Refrigerant precautions   

Be sure to inject the specified refrigerant (R-1234yf) and refrigeration oil (POE) by using the refrigerant recovery/charging equipment dedicated to the electric compressor. Compressor damage and safety accidents may occur if refrigeration oil (PAG) of general vehicles is mixed.
