• The Battery Conditioning mode is a function to maintain charging performance by
optimizing the temperature of the high voltage battery in winter or summer. How
ever, since energy is consumed when the temperature of the high voltage battery is
raised or lowered, the driving distance may be shortened. If you set a fast charging
station as a waypoint or destination on the navigation map, charging time can be
reduced with the battery temperature optimized by heating or cooling the battery
whilst driving, which allows for the required time.
