When inserting/pulling out the
charge connector and the charge
plug, do not twist them excessively.
Do not apply excessive force to the
connected charge connector such as
by applying your weight.
Keep objects which generates
intense heat (such as a heater or
cigarette) away from the charge
cable.
Do not apply orga nic solvents, acid
or alkaline agents to the charge
cable.
CAUTION
Do not connect the booster cable to
the lead-acid battery or remove the
lead-acid battery while charging the
high voltage battery. Otherwise, the
vehicle or charging device could be
damaged.
If the charge connector is removed
after the charging is
finished, close
the charging port cap immediately. If
the charging port lid is closed with
the charging port cap open, water or
foreign matter may enter the
charging inlet causing a malfunction.
Always make sure that the charge
cable is not connected to the vehicle
before driving. If the charge
connector is connected correctly, the
vehicle cannot be driven. However, if
it is not connected completely, the
vehicle can be driven, which could
result in an accident.
If the charging port is frozen shut,
defrost the port using a hair dryer. If
the charge cable is inserted/pulled
out with the charging inlet frozen, it
could cause damage.
