Trickle charger can be used if AC Charger is unavailable.

1. Plug and cable

2. Control box (ICCB)

3. Charging connector/cable

If the charging connector does not disconnect due to battery discharge and/or failure of the electric system, open the hood and slightly pull the emergency cable. The charging connector will then disconnect.

If the charging door is not opened immediately with the emergency cable in operation, press the charging door lightly and pull the emergency cable again.

The charging cable lock may not work properly when foreign materials such as dust enters the cable or the cable is encrusted with ice.

In that case, the charging cable may not be disconnected from the car.

If this happens, open the hood and pull the emergency cable lightly 2 to 3 times before starting charging.

You can check the charging status at the outside of vehicle when charging or using (it is not driving status) the high-voltage battery.

It takes about 2.3 hours or more to complete charging.

For more information about charging status indicator, refer to More Details.
