CAUTION
●
When charging the vehicle, make sure you observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so can cause an electric shock that may result in death
or serious injury.
• Check that the electrical receptacle, charging cable and charging port
do not have any areas that are damaged.
• Check that there is no snow or ice in the charging port
• Check that no water has built up in the charging port
• Do not plug in or unplug the charging cable plug with wet hands. Also, do not get the charging cable plug or electrical receptacle wet.
• Do not touch the charging connector's end terminals or short them with foreign objects.
• When the charging cable is not in use, store it in a location free from moisture.
• Do not pull, twist or bend the charging cable.
• Do not touch the charging port’s end terminals with sharp metallic objects, such as wire, needles, and so forth.
• When charging outdoors, make sure to connect to an appropriate out- door receptacle with a “While-in-use” cover.
Also, if rain falls during charging, take care that rainwater does not run
along the length of cable and wet the electrical receptacle.
• If the electrical receptacle is submerged in water or covered in snow, do not insert the charging cable’s plug. If, in this situation, the charging
cable plug is already plugged in and needs to be unplugged, first turn
off the breaker and then unplug the charging cable plug.
• To stop vehicle charging or if charging has been interrupted, discon- nect the charging connector from the vehicle first, before unplugging
the charging cable plug form the receptacle.
• Do not charge the vehicle during weather that may produce lightning.
• If you hear thunder while charging the vehicle, turn the breaker off with- out touching the vehicle or charging cable.
