    Then, insert the charger into the charging inlet until it clicks. If it is not fully connected, a bad connection between the charging connector and the charging terminals may cause a fire.

    NOTE

    Charging does not occur when the indicator is OFF. When the charging connector is not connected properly, reconnect the charging cable to charge.

To restart the charging process, move the shift lever or dial to P (Park), press the ENGINE START/STOP button to the OFF position, and disconnect the charging cable. Then, connect the charging cable.
