The Hyundai Ioniq 2018 Electric Car typically takes about 4.5 hours to fully charge using a 240-volt Level 2 charger. Using a standard 120-volt outlet can take significantly longer, around 24 hours for a full charge.
To maximize your range, utilize eco-driving habits, ensure your tires are properly inflated, minimize the use of air conditioning and heating, and take advantage of regenerative braking.
Regular maintenance for the Hyundai Ioniq 2018 Electric Car includes tire rotation every 7,500 miles, brake fluid replacement every 30,000 miles, and battery coolant replacement every 60,000 miles. Always refer to the owner's manual for detailed service intervals.
If your Ioniq won't start, check the 12-volt battery first, as it might need a jump-start. Ensure that the gear is in 'Park.' If issues persist, consult the vehicle's diagnostic system or contact a Hyundai service center.
To reset the TPMS, inflate all tires to the recommended pressure, drive for a few miles, and the system should automatically reset. If it doesn’t, consult your owner’s manual for specific procedures or contact a dealership.
To improve battery life, avoid frequent fast charging, keep the battery charge level between 20% and 80% when possible, and park in shaded or cool areas to prevent overheating.
If the regenerative braking system is not functioning properly, check for any dashboard warning lights and consult the owner’s manual. It's advisable to visit a Hyundai service center for a professional diagnosis and repair.
To update the navigation system, visit the Hyundai website to download the latest maps onto a USB drive, then plug it into the vehicle's USB port. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update process.
For long-term storage, charge the battery to around 50%, and check it periodically to maintain this level. Store the vehicle in a cool, dry place, and consider using a car cover to protect it from dust and debris.
Software updates for the Hyundai Ioniq can be done via a Hyundai service center or by downloading updates from the Hyundai website onto a USB drive and following the vehicle's on-screen instructions after inserting the drive.
