7. Check if the charging indicator light of the high voltage battery
on the instrument cluster is turned
ON. Charging is not done when the
charging indicator lamp is OFF.
When the charging connector and
charging plug are not connected
properly, reconnect the charging
cable to charge.
Information
• Even though charging is possible with
the ignition switch in the ON/START
position, for your safety, start charging
when the ignition switch is in the
LOCK/OFF position and the vehicle
shifted to P (Park). After charging
has started, you can use electrical
components such as the radio by
placing the ignition switch in the ACC
or ON position.
• During AC charging, the radio
reception may be bad.
• Moving the shift button from P (Park)
to R (Reverse)/N(Neutral)/D (Drive)
stops the charging process.
To restart the charging process, move
the shift button to P (Park), place the
ignition switch to the LOCK/OFF
position, and disconnect the charging
cable. Then, connect the charging cable.

8. 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 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.
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 degraded due to
operation of the cooling system to charge
the high voltage battery. This is a normal
condition.
Checking Charging Status
ONX4EPHQ011020LONX4EPHQ011020L
When charging the high voltage battery,
the charge level can be checked from
outside the vehicle.

2. Hold the charging connector handle and pull it while pressing the release
button (1).
Information
To prevent charging cable theft,
the charging connector cannot be
disconnected from the inlet when the
doors are locked. Unlock all doors to
disconnect the charging connector from
the inlet.
However, if the vehicle is in the charging
connector AUTO mode, the charging
connector automatically unlocks from the
inlet when charging is completed.
For more details, refer to “Charging
Connector AUTO/ LOCK Mode” in this
chapter.

How to set the charging rate of the
portable charger
OAEE046506NOAEE046506N
PlugPlugElectric OutletElectric Outlet
Charging a plug-in hybrid vehicle at
home can stress the household electrical
system more than a typical household
appliance. Most modern residential
electrical circuits are rated at 15 or 20
amps. The portable charger is rated
to supply a 12A continuous load. To
avoid tripping a fuse or breaker in
the household, the portable charger
charging rate can be reduced. Follow the
steps below to set the charging rate of
the portable charger.1. Check the current output of the
electrical outlet prior to connecting
the portable charger in order to
determine the permissible charging
rate.
2. Connect the plug to a household electric outlet.
3. Check the LED display on the portable charger controller. The indicator 8A,
10A or 12A will be displayed.
OOSEVQ018054OOSEVQ018054
4. The charging rate (amps) can be adjusted on the portable charger
controller. Press the button (1) on the
back of the controller.
5. The charging rate (12A, 10A, 8A) on the LED display changes each time you
press the button. Refer to the table to
adjust the charging rate based on the
electrical outlet current output.
6. When the charging rate is set, follow the procedure in the next section to
connect your vehicle.
