Precautions for PortableCharging Cable (ICCB: In-Cable Control Box)
Use the portable charging cable that is certified by Kia.
Do not try to repair, disassemble, or adjust the portable charging cable.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter.
Stop using immediately if failure warning light occurs.
Do not touch the plug and charging connector with wet hands.
Do not touch the terminal part of the normal charging connector and the
normal charging inlet on the vehicle.
Do not connect the charging con- nector to voltage that does not
comply with regulations.
Do not use the portable charging cable if it is worn out, exposed, or
there exists any type of damage on
the portable charging cable. If the ICCB case and normal
charging connector is damaged,
cracked, or the wires are exposed
in any way, do not use the portable
charging cable.
Do not let children operate or touch the portable charging cable.
Keep the control box free of water.
Keep the normal charging connec- tor or plug terminal free of foreign
substances.
Do not step on the cable or cord. Do not pull the cable or cord and
do not twist or bend it.

aged household electric outlet can
result in a risk of electric shock. If
you are in doubt to the household
electric outlet condition, have it
checked by a licensed electrician.
Stop using the portable charging cable immediately if the household
electric outlet or any components
is overheated or you notice burnt
odors.
