Precautions for the portable charger: In-Cable Control Box (ICCB)

  • Use a portable charger that is certified by an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.

  • Do not try to repair, disassemble, or adjust the portable charger.

  • Do not use an extension cord or adapter.

  • Stop using the portable charger immediately if it fails.

  • Do not touch the plug or charging connector with wet hands.

  • Do not touch the terminal part of the AC charging connector and the AC charging inlet on the vehicle.

  • Do not connect the charging connector to a voltage that does not comply with regulations.

  • Do not use the portable charging cable if it is worn out, damaged, or has exposed wires.

  • If the In-Cable Control Box (ICCB) case or the AC charging connector is damaged, cracked, or has exposed wires, do not use the portable charger.

  • Do not let children operate or touch the portable charger.

  • Keep the control box dry.

  • Keep the charging connector and plug terminal free of foreign substances.

  • Do not pull, twist, bend, or step on the cable or cord.

  • Do not charge the vehicle when there is lightning.

  • Do not drop or place any heavy objects onto the control box.

  • Do not place objects that can generate high temperatures near the charger whilst charging the vehicle.

  • Charging with a worn out or damaged household electric outlet can cause electric shock. If you are unsure about the condition of a household electric outlet, have it inspected by a licensed electrician.

  • Stop using the portable charger immediately if the household electric outlet or any components overheat or if you smell something burning.

NOTE

To prevent charging cable theft, you cannot disconnect the charging connector from the inlet whilst the doors are locked or the charging connector is in Always lock mode. Unlock all doors to disconnect the charging connector from the inlet.

If the vehicle is in Lock whilst charging mode, the charging connector automatically unlocks from the inlet when you finish charging.

Disconnecting the charging connector without pressing the release button might damage the inlet.

For more details, refer to Precautions for charging the electric vehicle.

If the release button does not work even after you unlock the all doors, pull the emergency lift cable in the motor room and press the release button on the connector to disconnect it from the vehicle. If the release button still does not work, have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.
