- When leaving the plug inserted, check the plug and connector once a month
for accumulation of dirt or dust.
Step 4 Remove the plug from the electrical receptacle when the charging
equipment will not be used for a long period of time.
Depending on the charge settings, the vehicle may not start charging just by

Pre-climate/remote climate control schedules. Before either function starts, it is
recommended that:
