Campaign Description
Updated Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) software relating to the brake light logic for regenerative braking on certain
IONIQ 5 Electric (NE1) & IONIQ 6 (CE1) vehicles is now available to improve the vehicle’s system logic and
performance. An “Owner’s Manual Supplement” leaflet is also to be provided to 2022MY IONIQ 5 vehicle
customers to explain the change & application of the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system of their vehicle.

Key VCU improvements of this VCU software update the following:
•

•
•

•
•
•

•

Brake light logic update for regenerative braking:
 Improved logic to enable brake light actuation during regenerative braking at certain
deceleration speeds and during i-Pedal mode driving without the need to press the brake
pedal.
Enhanced i-Pedal mode operation:
 Improved i-Pedal operation logic.
EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) auto engagement when shift into Park/auto disengagement shift out of
Park when shifting to D or R while brake pedal is engaged:
 Improved EPB logic for automatic engagement when placed in Park and disengagement when
placed in Drive or Reverse when the proper conditions are met (Door Closed, Seat Belt
Latched, etc.)
DTE (Distance to Empty) strategy:
 Improves the frequency with which DTE calculations are made using your most recent week of
driving to calculate your average miles per kWh; previously utilizing the previous 2 weeks.
Snow road surface performance:
 Improved vehicle traction under snowy conditions.
Air conditioning performance during AC slow charging:
 Air conditioning can be remotely turned on or scheduled during A/C charging. Previously,
there was logic to place higher priority in achieving and maintaining full battery state of charge
during A/C charging which limited remote/scheduled air conditioning operation.
Enhanced charging sequence:
 Improved charging sequence to re-enter battery charging when it reaches a battery state that
is 1.5% lower than target state of charge. Previously, it re-entered charging when battery state
of charge decreased by 0.5% which resulted in excessive charging re-entry/completion
notifications sent to customers.

NOTE: IONIQ 6 & 2023MY vehicle Owner’s Manual for IONIQ 5 already contains the EPB supplement content.
