    Before disconnecting the charging connector, make sure the vehicle's doors are unlocked. When the doors are locked, the charging connector lock system will be triggered. And the charging connector will not be disconnected.

    However, in AUTO Mode, the lock is released automatically when charging is completed, and you can disconnect the charging connector.

    For more information, refer to the Charging connector lock.

    CAUTION

    In order to disconnect the charging connector, unlock the vehicle's doors to unlatch the charging connector lock system.

    If not, the charging connector and the vehicle's charging inlet may be damaged.

    CAUTION

    When disconnecting the charging connector, do not try to disconnect it by force while not pressing the release button. This may damage the charging connector and vehicle charging inlet.

    • If the charging connector lock does not unlatch even after the vehicle's doors are unlocked, open the liftgate, and pull the emergency release lever to disconnect the charging connector. If such case occurs, the charging connector lock function may be defective, so have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
