■If a message indicating vehicle
error on the DC charger side is dis- played
Even if a message indicating vehicle
error on the DC charger side (ex. vehicle error found, vehicle error occurred, etc.) is displayed, there is no vehicle fault but
possibly a communication error between the DC charger and vehicle. In this case, there may be terminal damage (bad
contact) in the DC charging connector. If there is no error with the vehicle, contact the facility manager of the DC charger.
■During DC charging
●The current charging condition can be checked on the multi-information dis-
play.
●The actual charging time may differ
from that displayed on the DC charger during charging.
●There may be occasions the radio cannot be heard due to noise occur-rence during DC charging
●As the battery approaches full charge, the charging speed will decrease and
it will take longer to complete charging.
●The time to complete charging may change, or charging may stop before reaching the upper limit of the charge
capacity, due to the remaining charge of the traction battery, the outside tem-perature, the specifications of the
charger (stand), etc.
●It is recommended to avoid frequent
DC charging to prevent a decline in the traction battery capacity.
●Quickly move from the DC charging space for other users after the DC charging is completed.
