remove the charging plug from the
electrical outlet of the AC charging
station.2. Hold the charging connector han-
dle and pull it while pressing the
release button (1).
Information
To prevent charging cable theft, the
charging connector cannot be discon-
nected from the inlet when the doors
are locked. Unlock all doors to discon-
nect the charging connector from the
inlet.
However, if the vehicle is in the charg-
ing connector 'While charging' mode,
the charging connector automatically
unlocks from the inlet when charging
is completed.
For more details, refer to "Locking
Charging Cable" in this chapter.

DC Charge (if equipped)
You can charge at high speeds at
public charging stations. Refer to the
respective company's manual that is
provided for each DC charger type.
Battery performance and durability
can deteriorate if the DC charger is
used constantly.
Use of DC charge should be mini-
mized in order to help prolong high
voltage battery life.
Actual charger image and charg-
ing method may vary in accor-
dance with the charger manufac-
turer.
Information
If you use a DC charger when the
vehicle is already fully charged, some
DC chargers will send out an error
message. When the vehicle is fully
charged, do not charge the vehicle.
How to Connect DC Charger
1. Depress the brake pedal and
apply the parking brake.
2. Turn OFF all switches, shift to P
(Park), and turn OFF the vehicle.
3. Press the charging door open but-
ton ( ) to open the charging door.

DC charging inlet. Push the con-
nector until you hear a "clicking"
sound. If the charging connector
and charging terminal are not con-
nected properly, this may cause a

Refer to the manual for each type
of DC charger for how to charge
and remove the charger.8. Check if the charging indicator
light of the high voltage battery in
the instrument cluster is turned
ON. Charging is not done when
the charging indicator lamp is
OFF.
When the charging connector is
not connected properly, reconnect
the charging cable to charge it
again.
During cold weather, DC charging
may not be available to prevent
high voltage battery degradation.
