Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Open Electric Vehicle settings and turn Battery Conditioning on.
- 02
Use the EV9's built-in navigation to search for the intended DC fast-charging station.
- 03
Set that station as the destination or a waypoint.
- 04
Drive toward the station and watch for the battery-conditioning indication in the cluster.
- 05
Arrive with enough state of charge for the conditioning energy used and begin DC charging normally.
Important limits
- Conditioning consumes battery energy and can temporarily reduce estimated range.
- It may not operate when state of charge is too low or there is not enough time to reach target temperature.
- Actual DC speed still depends on charger capability, battery state, temperature and site conditions.
Quick checks.
- ✓If conditioning does not start, confirm the charger was selected in the built-in navigation as a DC station.
- ✓If the option is absent, the vehicle may lack required equipment or the menu may have moved after an update.
- ✓If the system reports a fault, charge normally and have an authorized Kia dealer inspect it if the warning remains.
