Charging Precautions
„„AC ChargerAC Charger
OLFP0Q5007KOLFP0Q5007K
Actual charger image and charging
method may vary in accordance with the
charger manufacturer.
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.
• Check to make sure there is no
water or dust on the charging
cable connector and plug before
connecting to the charger and
charging inlet. Connecting while
there is water or dust on the charging
cable connector and plug may cause
a fire or electric shock.
• Be careful not to touch the charging
connector, charging plug, and the
charging inlet when connecting
the cable to the charger and the
charging inlet on the vehicle. •
Comply with the following in order
to prevent electrical shock when
charging:
- Use a waterproof charger.
- Be careful when touching the
charging connector and charging
plug with your hands wet, or when
standing in water or snow while
connecting the charging cable.
- Be careful when there is lightning.
- Be careful when the charging
connector and plug is wet.
• 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.

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.
