The trunk can be used to store the AC charging cable.

If the charging cable is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth soaked in a 3% neutral detergent solution, then wipe it dry with a clean cloth. Ensure it is fully dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Avoid getting water on the charging connector and plug.

CAUTION
  • Do not modify or disassemble the charging cable as it poses a risk of fire, electric shock, and injury.

  • Always keep the charging connector and plug dry and clean. Store the charging cable without any moisture.

  • If there are any foreign objects or dust inside the charging connector or plug, remove them with an air gun.

  • Do not charge the vehicle if the charging connector or plug is damaged, corroded, rusty, or feels loose when connected. In this case, have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer or service partner.
