NOTICE
■Using private power generator
Do not use private power generators as a power source for charg ing.
Doing so may make charging unstable, the voltage may be insuffi cient, and
the error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Inter rupting
Device) of the charging cable may flash.
■ Usable temperature range
● Do not charge if the outside temperature is -22 F (-30 C) or below, as it is
likely that charging will take longer, and equipment related to charging will
be damaged.
● Do not leave the vehicle or the charging cable in areas where t he outside
temperature is lower than -40 F (-40 C). The vehicle or charging cable will
probably be damaged.
■ Charging equipment
Due to the environment in which the power equipment is located, charging
may be unstable due to noise, the voltage may be insufficient, and the error
warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting De vice) of the
charging cable may flash.
