Trickle Charge
How to Connect Portable Charging Cable (ICCB: InCable Control Box) (Type A)
-
Connect the plug to a household electric outlet.
CAUTIONIf the outlet is aged, damaged or cracked, do not use it.
-
Check if the power lamp (green) on the control box turns ON.
-
While the brake pedal is pressed, engage the parking brake.
-
Turn OFF all switches, place the shifter dial in P (Park). If you try to charge while the shifter dial is not placed in P (Park), it will automatically move to P (Park).
However, charge the battery only when the shifter dial is placed in P for safety reasons.
* Make sure that the plug is not loosely put into the outlet. (If it is loose, it may generate heat.)
-
Open the charging door by pressing the Symbol [▶] of the charging door. The charging door will not open if the vehicle door is locked.
CAUTIONIf 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. The charging door may be broken if it is forcibly opened.
CAUTIONIn order to connect the charging connector, release the door lock to unlatch the charging connector lock system.
If not, the charging connector and the vehicle's charging inlet may be damaged.
-
Open the charging door and then open the inlet cover(1).
-
Open the protective cover of the charging connector and check if there is dust on the charging connector and charging inlet.
-
Hold the charging connector handle and connect it to the vehicle AC charging inlet. Push the connector until you hear a "clicking" sound. If the charging connector and charging terminal are not connected properly, this may cause a fire.
* Charging Connector AUTO/LOCK Mode
When the charging connector and the charging inlet are connected, you can choose the mode by pressing button. The charging connector will be locked at a different time depending on the selected mode.
LOCK Mode: When the charging connector is properly connected, the charging connector will be automatically locked.
AUTO Mode: When the charging connector is properly connected and charging is initiated, the charging connector will be locked.
For more information, refer to More Details.
-
Charging starts automatically and the charging indicator lamp starts to blink.
-
Check if the charge indicator lamp in the instrument cluster is turned ON. Charging does not occur when the charging indicator lamp is OFF.
When the charging connector is not connected properly, reconnect the charging cable to charge it again.
CAUTION-
You can start charging when the POWER button is in the OFF position and the shifter dial is in P (Park).
After charging has started, you can use electrical components such as the radio by pressing the POWER button to ACC or ON position.
-
You cannot move the shifter dial other than P (Park) while charging. Charging stops immediately. If you want to start charging again, place the shifter dial to P (Park) and press the POWER button to the OFF position. Unplug and reconnect the charging cable to start charging again.
-
-
After charging has started, the estimated charging time is displayed on the instrument cluster for about 1 minute.
If you open the driver seat door while charging, the estimated charging time is also displayed on the instrument cluster for about 1 minute.
When reserved charging is set, the estimated charging time is displayed as “--" .
CAUTIONDepending on the condition and durability of the high voltage battery, charger specifications, and ambient temperature, the time required for charging the battery may vary.
CAUTIONIn order to disconnect the charging connector, release the door lock to unlatch the charging connector lock system.
If not, the charging connector and the vehicle's charging inlet may be damaged.
How to Connect Portable Charging Cable (ICCB: InCable Control Box) (Type B)
-
