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.

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.

button to ACC or ON position.
• During charging, the gear cannot be
shifted from P (Park) to any other
gear. 9. After charging has started, the

played on the instrument cluster
for about 1 minute.
If you open the driver seat door
while charging, the estimated
charging time is also displayed on
