●Connect to a power source suit-
able for charging. ( P.106)
●Check that the AC charging
cable, plug and outlet are free of
foreign matter.
●Before charging, check that the
AC charging inlet is not
deformed, damaged or cor-
roded, and check that the inlet
is free of foreign matter such as
dirt, snow and ice.
If there is dirt or dust in these
areas, remove completely
before inserting the charging
connector.
●Only use outlets where the plug
can be securely inserted.
●Do not bundle or wind the AC
charging cable while charging,
as doing so may result in over-
heating.
●Do not touch the terminals of
the charging connector and AC
charging inlet with a sharp metal
objects (needles etc.) or hands,
or short them with foreign
objects.
●When charging outdoors, make
sure to connect to a weather-
proof outlet for outdoor use.
Ensure the weatherproof outlet
cover closes co mpletely. If the
weatherproof outlet cover can-
not be closed, install a weather-
proof outlet cover that will close.
●In order to stop charging at the
charging station, follow the
instructions of the charger.
●If any heat, smoke, odors, noise
or other abnormalities are
noticed during charging, stop
charging immediately.
●Do not insert the plug if the out-
let is submerged in water or
snow.
●When charging while it is raining
or snowing, do not connect or
disconnect the plug if your
hands are wet. Also, do not get
the plug or outlet wet.
●Do not charge the vehicle
during a lightning storm.
●Prevent the AC charging cable
from being caught in the door or
back door.
●Do not let the wheels on the AC
charging cable, plug, charging
connector and CCID (Charging

●Firmly insert the plug into the
outlet.
●Do not use an extension cord
and converting adaptor.
●Close the hood before using the
charging system. The cooling
fan may start operating sud-
denly. Touching or getting close
to rotating parts such as the fan
may cause your hands or
