    1. Remaining Time

    The instrument cluster also displays the estimated charging time for about 1 minute if you open the driver side door whilst charging. When you set scheduled charging or scheduled air conditioning or heating, the instrument cluster displays the estimated charging time as “--”.

    CAUTION

    To avoid blowing a fuse, make sure the charge level selection matches the capacity of your circuit breaker.

    NOTE

    • If you cannot open the charging door due to freezing weather, lightly tap or remove any ice near the charging door. Do not try to open the charging door by force. Doing so might damage it.

    • Even though you can charge with the EV button in the START position, for your safety, start charging when the EV button is in the OFF position and the gear is shifted to P (Park). After you begin charging, you can use electrical components such as the radio by pressing the EV button in the POWER ON position. You cannot shift the gear from P (Park) to any other gear whilst charging.

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