(AC 120 V) is supplied.
WARNING Before charging the vehicle, carefully read and follow the instructions in “Setting 
charging connector locking mode” to prevent property damage or injury due to electric 
shock, fire, explosion, etc.
 
CAUTION To prevent property damage or injury due to fire or explosion, follow the instructions 
below.

Aux. Battery Saver+
The Aux. Battery Saver+ is a function that monitors the charging status of the 12 V battery. 
If the 12 V battery level is low, the main high voltage battery charges the 12 V battery.
Information • The Aux. Battery Saver+ activates maximum of 20 minutes. If the Aux. Battery Saver+ function activates more than 10 times consecutively, in the Automatic Mode the function will stop 
activating, judging that there is a problem with the auxiliary battery.
In this case, drive the vehicle for some period of time. The function will start activating if the 
auxiliary battery returns to normal.
• The Aux. Battery Saver+ function cannot prevent battery discharge if the auxiliary battery is  damaged, worn out, used as a power supply or unauthorized electronic devices are used.
• If the Aux. Battery Saver+ function was activated the high voltage battery level may have  decreased.
 
WARNING 
B5019903_1
When the function is activating the indicator light illuminates and high voltage electricity 
flows into the vehicle. Do not touch the high voltage electric wire (orange), connector, 
and all electric components and devices. This may cause electric shock and lead to 
injuries. Also, do not modify your vehicle in any way. This may affect your vehicle 
performance and lead to an accident.
