    NOTE

    • If the outlet is aged, damaged or cracked, do not use it.

    • Do NOT use an extension cord between the household electric outlet and L1-trickle charger, as household power source should be a dedicated 120VAC/15AMP/properly grounded outlet.

  2. Check if the power lamp (green) on the control box turns ON.

  3. While the brake pedal is pressed, engage the parking brake.

  4. Place the gear in P (Park). If you try to charge while the gear is not placed in P (Park), it will automatically move to P (Park).

    However, charge the battery only when the gear is placed in P for safety reasons.

    Make sure that the plug is not loosely put into the outlet. (If it is loose, it may generate heat.)

  5. Press the charging door to open. You cannot open the charging door when the vehicle's doors are locked.

    When the charging connector is not connected properly, reconnect the charging cable to charge it again.
