How to connect DC charger

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

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

  3. Open the charging door.

    For more details, refer to Charging door .

  4. Check whether there is dust or foreign substances inside the charging connector and charging inlet.

  5. Hold the charging connector handle and connect it to the vehicle charging inlet. Push the connector all the way in. If the charging connector and charging terminal are not connected properly, this may cause a fire. Refer to the manual for each type of DC charger for how to charge and remove the charger.

  6. Check if the charging indicator light ( ) of the high voltage battery in the instrument cluster is turned ON. Charging is not active when the charging indicator light ( ) is OFF.

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

    During cold weather, DC charging may not be available to prevent high voltage battery degradation.

CAUTION
  • If you cannot open the charging door due to freezing weather, tap lightly or remove any ice near the charging door. Do not try to forcibly open the charging door.

  • To control the temperature of the high voltage battery whilst charging, the air conditioner is used to cool down the battery which may generate noise from operation of the air conditioner compressor and cooling fan.

    Also, the air conditioner's performance may be degraded during summer due to operation of the cooling system for the high voltage battery.

  • For safety, only charge the vehicle whilst it is in the P (Park) position. After charging has started, press the start button to enter the POWER ON state if you wish to use the radio or other features.

  • During charging, the gear cannot be shifted from P (Park) to any other gear.

  • Depending on the condition and durability of the high voltage battery, charger specifications, and ambient temperature, the time required for charging the battery may vary.

NOTE
  • 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.

  • During charging, the quality of radio reception may degrade in some areas.
