Actual charger image and charging
method may vary in accordance with the
charger manufacturer.
WARNING
• Electromagnetic waves that are
generated from the charger can
seriously impact medical electric
devices such as an implantable
cardiac pacemaker.
When using medical electric devices
such as an implantable cardiac
pacemaker, make sure to ask the
medical team and manufacturer
whether charging your electric
vehicle will impact the operation of
the medical electric devices such as
an implantable cardiac pacemaker.
• Check to make sure there is no
water or dust on the charging
cable connector and plug before
connecting to the charger and
charging inlet. Connecting while
there is water or dust on the charging
cable connector and plug may cause
a fire or electric shock.
• Be careful not to touch the charging
connector, charging plug, and the
charging inlet when connecting
the cable to the charger and the
charging inlet on the vehicle. •
Comply with the following in order
to prevent electrical shock when
charging:
- Use a waterproof charger.
- Be careful when touching the
charging connector and charging
plug with your hands wet, or when
standing in water or snow while
connecting the charging cable.
- Be careful when there is lightning.
- Be careful when the charging
connector and plug is wet.
• Immediately stop charging when
you find abnormal symptoms (odor,
smoke).
• Replace the charging cable if the
cable coating is damaged to prevent
electrical shock.
• When connecting or removing the
charging cable, make sure to hold
the charging connector handle and
charging plug.
If you pull the cable itself (without
using the handle), the internal wires
may disconnect or get damaged. This
may lead to electric shock or fire.

CAUTION
• Always keep the charging connector
and charging plug in clean and
dry condition. Be sure to keep the
charging cable in a condition where
there is no water or moisture.
• Make sure to use the designated
charger for charging the electric
vehicle. Using any other charger may
cause failure.
• Before charging the battery, turn the
vehicle OFF
• When the vehicle is switched OFF
while charging, the cooling fan
inside the motor compartment may
automatically operate. Do not touch
the cooling fan while charging.
• Be careful not to drop the charging
connector. The charging connector
can be damaged.

3. Press center edge of the charging door to open the charging door.
Information
If the charging door does not open because
ice has formed around it, tap lightly or
push on the door to break the ice and
release the door. Do not pry on the door. If
necessary, spray around the door with an
approved deicer fluid (do not use radiator
antifreeze) or move the vehicle to a warm
place and allow the ice to melt. 4. Check if there is dust on the charging
connector and charging inlet.
ONX4PHQ011028NONX4PHQ011028N
5. Hold the charging connector handle and connect it to the vehicle AC
charging inlet. Push the connector
until you hear a “clicking” sound. If
the charging connector and charging
terminal are not connected properly,
this may cause a fire.
Information
Charging connector AUTO/LOCK mode
The charging connector is locked in the
inlet at a different period according to
which mode is selected.
• LOCK mode : The connector locks
when the charging connector is plugged
into the charging inlet.
• AUTO mode : The connector locks
when charging starts.
For more details, refer to “Charging
Connector AUTO/ LOCK Mode” in this
chapter.

7. Check if the charging indicator light of the high voltage battery
on the instrument cluster is turned
ON. Charging is not done when the
charging indicator lamp is OFF.
When the charging connector and
charging plug are not connected
properly, reconnect the charging
cable to charge.
Information
• Even though charging is possible with
the ignition switch in the ON/START
position, for your safety, start charging
when the ignition switch is in the
LOCK/OFF position and the vehicle
shifted to P (Park). After charging
has started, you can use electrical
components such as the radio by
placing the ignition switch in the ACC
or ON position.
• During AC charging, the radio
reception may be bad.
• Moving the shift button from P (Park)
to R (Reverse)/N(Neutral)/D (Drive)
stops the charging process.
To restart the charging process, move
the shift button to P (Park), place the
ignition switch to the LOCK/OFF
position, and disconnect the charging
cable. Then, connect the charging cable.

8. After charging has started, the estimated charging time is displayed
on the instrument cluster for about 1
minute.
If you open the driver seat door while
charging, the estimated charging time
is also displayed on the instrument
cluster for about 1 minute.
When scheduled charging is set, the
estimated charging time is displayed
as “--” .
Information
Depending on the condition and durability
of the high voltage battery, charger
specifications, and ambient temperature,
the time required for charging the battery
may vary.
Information
To control the temperature of the high
voltage battery while charging or when
the battery temperature is high, the air
conditioner is used to cool down the
battery. It may generate noise or vibration
from operation of the air conditioner
compressor and cooling fan, but it is a
normal condition when charging the high
voltage battery. Also, the air conditioner’s
performance may be degraded due to
operation of the cooling system to charge
the high voltage battery. This is a normal
condition.
Checking Charging Status
ONX4EPHQ011020LONX4EPHQ011020L
When charging the high voltage battery,
the charge level can be checked from
outside the vehicle.

How to set the charging rate of the
portable charger
OAEE046506NOAEE046506N
PlugPlugElectric OutletElectric Outlet
Charging a plug-in hybrid vehicle at
home can stress the household electrical
system more than a typical household
appliance. Most modern residential
electrical circuits are rated at 15 or 20
amps. The portable charger is rated
to supply a 12A continuous load. To
avoid tripping a fuse or breaker in
the household, the portable charger
charging rate can be reduced. Follow the
steps below to set the charging rate of
the portable charger.1. Check the current output of the
electrical outlet prior to connecting
the portable charger in order to
determine the permissible charging
rate.
2. Connect the plug to a household electric outlet.
3. Check the LED display on the portable charger controller. The indicator 8A,
10A or 12A will be displayed.
OOSEVQ018054OOSEVQ018054
4. The charging rate (amps) can be adjusted on the portable charger
controller. Press the button (1) on the
back of the controller.
5. The charging rate (12A, 10A, 8A) on the LED display changes each time you
press the button. Refer to the table to
adjust the charging rate based on the
electrical outlet current output.
6. When the charging rate is set, follow the procedure in the next section to
connect your vehicle.
