 Information
To control the temperature of the high 
voltage battery while charging or when 
the battery temperature is high, the air 
conditioner is used to cool down the 
battery. It may generate noise or vibration 
from operation of the air conditioner 
compressor and cooling fan, but it is a 
normal condition when charging the high 
voltage battery. Also, the air conditioner’s 
performance may be degraded due to 
operation of the cooling system to charge 
the high voltage battery. This is a normal 
condition.
