You can charge your vehicle by plugging into a public charger at a charging station.

How to connect AC charger

  1. Depress the brake pedal and apply the parking brake.

  2. Turn OFF all switches, move the shift dial to P (Park), and turn OFF the vehicle.

  3. Open the charging inlet door by pressing rear centre edge of the charging inlet door.

  4. Remove any dust on the charging connector and charging inlet.

  5. Hold the charging connector handle.

    Then, insert the charger into the charging inlet, until you hear a click sound. If it is not fully connected, a bad connection between the charging connector and the charging terminals may cause a fire.

  6. Check if the charging cable connection indicator of the high voltage battery in the instrument cluster is turned ON.

    Charging does not occur when the indicator is OFF. When the charging connector is not connected properly, reconnect the charging cable to charge.

NOTICE

  • The charging is in progress only with the shift dial is in P (Park). Charging the battery with the ENGINE START/STOP button in the ACC position is possible. However, it may discharge the 12-V battery. Thus, if possible, charge the battery with the ENGINE START/STOP button in the OFF position.

  • Moving the shift dial from P (Park) to R (Reverse)/N (Neutral)/D (Drive) stops the charging process. To restart the charging process, move the shift dial to P (Park), press the ENGINE START/STOP button to the OFF position, and disconnect the charging cable. Then, connect the charging cable.

  • If the charging connector and charging inlet are not connected properly, the connector may droop or vibrate. In this case, hold the charging connector handle and push it all the way in.
