How to disconnect AC charger

  1. The vehicle doors must be unlocked to be able to disconnect the charging connector. A lock system prevents charger cable disconnection when your vehicle's doors are locked.
    CAUTION

    To disconnect the charging connector, unlock the doors to unlatch the charging connector lock system. The charging connector and the vehicle's charging inlet may be damaged.

  2. Hold the charging connector handle and pull it out.

    To prevent charging cable theft, the charging connector cannot be disconnected from the inlet when the doors are locked.

    If the vehicle is in the charging connector AUTO mode, the charging connector automatically unlocks from the inlet when charging is completed.

    If the connector does not automatically unlock after charging is completed in AUTO mode, the connector will unlock when all of the doors are unlocked.

    For more details, refer to AC charging connector lock.

    NOTE

    When disconnecting the charging connector, do not try to disconnect it by force while not pressing the release button. This may damage the charging connector and vehicle charging inlet.

  3. Close the charging door by pressing the rear center edge of the charging door.

    The charging door does not have a locking system.

WARNING

Do not modify or disassemble the charging cable components. This may cause a fire or an electric shock resulting in personal injury.

NOTE

  • If you cannot open the charging door in freezing weather, tap lightly or remove any ice near the charging door. Do not forcibly open the charging door. If you open it by force, the charging door may be damaged.

  • Keep the charging connector, cable and charging plug clean and dry.

  • Use an air gun to blow any foreign substances from the charging connector and the charging plug.
