    A: Remaining time

    If you open the driver seat door whilst charging, the estimated charging time is also displayed on the instrument cluster for about 1 minute. When scheduled charging or scheduled air conditioner/heater is set, the estimated charging time is displayed as "--".

We recommend that the trickle charger cable should be put in the storage box after use.

• Charging connector plugged into the vehicle (POWER Green ON)

1. Before disconnecting the charging connector, make sure the doors are unlocked. When the door is locked, the charging connector lock system will not allow disconnection. 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 complete.

   

   NOTICE

   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.

   

3. Make sure to securely close the charging door.

4. Disconnect the plug from the household electric outlet. Do not pull the cable when disconnecting the plug.
