Charging Precautions
Actual charger image and charg-
ing method may vary in accor-
dance with the charger manufac-
turer.
•Electromagnetic waves that
are generated from the charg-
er can seriously impact med-
ical electric devices such as
an implantable cardiac pace-
maker.
When using medical electric
devices such as an implantable
cardiac pacemaker, make sure
to ask the medical team and
manufacturer whether charg-
ing your electric vehicle will
impact the operation of the
medical electric devices such
as an implantable cardiac
pacemaker.
•Check to make sure there is
no water or dust on the charg-
ing cable connector and plug
before connecting to the
charger and charging inlet.
Connecting while there is
water or dust on the charging
cable connector and plug may
cause a fire or electric shock.
WARNING
•Be careful not to touch the
charging connector, charging
plug, and the charging inlet
when connecting the cable to
the charger and the charging
inlet on the vehicle.
•Comply with the following in
order to prevent electrical
shock when charging:
- Use a waterproof charger.
- Be careful when touching
the charging connector and
charging plug with your
hands wet, or when standing
in water or snow while con-
necting the charging cable.
- Be careful when there is

OFF while charging, the cool-
ing fan inside the motor com-
partment may automatically
