In this case, wait for a while before

tor to AC charging inlet again.
The AC charging connector lock
function does not guarantee that
theft of the AC charging cable will be
prevented, and is not necessarily
effective for all mischiefs.

If the AC charging connector is not
removed within approximately 30
seconds after the vehicle is
unlocked, the secur ity function auto-
matically locks the connector again.

tor cannot be inserted into the

Unlock the doors using the smart
key system or wireless remote con-
trol and unlock the AC charging con-
nector lock and check that the
connector lock pin is not extended.

gency release wire.
