How to disconnect AC charger

  1. The vehicle doors must be unlocked in order to be able to disconnect the charging connector. A lock system prevents charger cable disconnection when the vehicle's doors are locked.
    CAUTION

    In order to disconnect the charging connector, unlock the doors to unlatch the charging connector lock system. If not, the charging connector and the vehicle's charging inlet may be damaged.

  2. Hold the charging connector handle and pull it out.

    To prevent charging cable theft, the charging connector cannot be disconnected from the inlet when the doors are locked.

    However, if the vehicle is in the charging connector AUTO mode, the charging connector automatically unlocks from the inlet when charging is completed.

    If the connector is not automatically unlocked after charging is completed in AUTO mode, the connector is unlocked when all of the doors are unlocked.

    For more details, refer to AC charging connector lock.

    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.

  3. Close the charging door by pressing the rear center edge of the charging door.
