WARNING
• Electromagnetic waves that are
generated from the charger can seriously impact medical electric
devices such as an implantable
cardiac pacemaker.
When using medical electric devices
such as an implantable cardiac
pacemaker, make sure to ask the
medical team and manufacturer
whether charging your electric
vehicle will impact the operation of
the medical electric devices such as
an implantable cardiac pacemaker.
• Inspect the charging cable connector
for any signs of water or excess
dust or dirt. Connecting the cable
when there is water or dirt on the
connector may initiate a short circuit
and cause a fire or electric shock.
WARNING
• Use caution not to touch the
charging connector or the charging
port when connecting the cable from
the charger to the charging port on
the vehicle.
• Comply with the following in order
to prevent electrical shock when
charging:
- Use caution when connecting the
charger to the charging port when
it is raining or snowing.
- Use caution when there are
adverse weather conditions such
as lightning.
- Use caution when the charging
connector or the charging plug is
wet.
WARNING
• Immediately stop charging when
you find abnormal symptoms (odor,
smoke).
• Replace the charging cable if the
cable coating is damaged to prevent electrical shock.
• When connecting or removing the
charging cable, make sure to hold
the charging connector handle and
charging plug.
If you pull the cable itself (without
using the handle), the internal wires
may disconnect or get damaged. This
may lead to electric shock or fire.
CAUTION
• Always keep the charging connector
and charging plug in clean and
dry condition. Be sure to keep the
charging cable in a condition where
there is no water or moisture.
• Before charging the battery, turn the
vehicle OFF.
• When the vehicle is switched OFF
while charging, the cooling fan
inside the motor compartment may
automatically operate. Do not touch
the cooling fan while charging.
• Be careful not to drop the charging
connector. The charging connector can be damaged.

7. Once the vehicle is connected,
confirm that charging has initiated
from the EV charging station display
screen.
8. Check if the charging indicator light (
) of the high voltage battery
in the instrument cluster is turned
ON. Charging is not active when the
charging indicator light (
) is OFF.
If the charging indicator light is OFF,
it may be necessary to disconnect the
charging connector from the vehicle
and repeat the connection process.
Refer to the charging station display
screen for more information.
Information
• During AC charging, the radio
reception may be bad.
• During charging, the gear cannot be
shifted from P (Park) to any other gear.

9. After charging has started, the
estimated charging time is displayed
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 the instrument
cluster for about 1 minute. When
scheduled charging or scheduled
air conditioner/heater is set, the
estimated charging time is displayed
as “--” .
Information
Depending on the condition and durability
of the high voltage battery, charger
specifications, and ambient temperature,
the time required for charging the battery
may vary.

Emergency
OOSEVQ018014
If for some reason the charging
connector fails to disconnect normally,
the connector may be released manually
using the Charging Connector Manual
Release. Open the hood and slightly pull
the manual release shown in the figure.
The charging connector can then be
disconnected.
DC Charge
„„DC Charger
OAEEQ016023
DC fast charging (also known as Level
3 charging) provides high power DC
current directly to the EV battery. DC
charging stations are capable of charging
the EV battery to 80% in less than 75
minutes under normal conditions.
While DC charging is very fast
compared to AC charging, prolonged
and continuous use of DC fast charging
may reduce the long term life of the
EV battery. Usage of a DC fast charger
should be minimized when possible in
order to help prolong the life of the EV
battery.
Actual charger image and charging
method may vary in accordance with
the charger manufacturer.
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
electronic parking brake.
2. Shift to P (Park) and turn OFF the vehicle using the POWER button.
Information
If charging is initiated without the gear in
P (Park), charging will start only after the
gear is automatically shifted to P (Park).

3. Unlock the vehicle before opening the charging door. From the outside the
vehicle, push on the charging door
in the area indicated by the arrow to
open the door.
Information
If you cannot open the charging door due
to freezing weather, tap lightly or remove
any ice near the charging door. Do not try
to forcibly open the charging door.

4. Remove the charging port dust cover (1).
5. Inspect the charging port to make sure it is free from any dust or debris.
6. Hold the charging connector handle firmly and insert the connector into
the charging port all the way.
If the connector is not completely
inserted into the charging port, arcing
may occur. This may cause a fire.
7. Check if the charging indicator light (
) of the high voltage battery
in the instrument cluster is turned
ON. Charging is not active when the
charging indicator light (
) is OFF.
If the charging indicator light is OFF,
it may be necessary to disconnect the
charging connector from the vehicle
and repeat the connection process.
Refer to the charging station display
screen for more information.
During cold weather, DC charging
may not be available to prevent high
voltage battery degradation.

NOTICE
In high ambient temperature conditions
like during summer months, the A/C
system may be operating during
EV battery charging. You may hear
additional noises generated from the
operation of the A/C compressor and
cooling fan. This is a normal condition.
Information
Note that the vehicle cannot be shifted out
of P (Park) when the vehicle is charging.OOSEV040489L
