to the vehicle side inlet properly,
charging may not start. In this case,
try reconnecting charging cable to
vehicle inlet again.
Information
To control the temperature of the high
voltage battery while charging or when
the battery temperature is high, the air
conditioner is used to cool down the
battery. It may generate noise or vibration
from operation of the air conditioner
compressor and cooling fan, but it is a
normal condition when charging the high
voltage battery. Also, the air conditioner’s
performance may be reduced due to
operation of the cooling system to charge
the high voltage battery. This is a normal
condition.
Information
[ Even though charging is possible with
the Start/Stop button in the ON/START
position, for your safety, start charging
when the Start/Stop button is in the

as the radio by pressing the Start/Stop
button to the ACC or ON position.
[ During AC charging, the radio
reception may be bad.
[ During charging, the gear cannot be
shifted from P (Park) to any other gear.
