The mobile power cord is in the rearluggage compartment under the load floorand allows you to charge the vehicle'sbattery using a standard household outlet.
You must plug the connector into thecontrol box first. Then plug the connectorinto the household outlet, and then plugthe coupler into the vehicle charge port.
The power indicator illuminates blue whenthe connector is properly inserted into thecontrol box and dedicated wall outlet.
Note:To insert the connector, firmly graspthe connector by the cable or plug and pushinto the control box until an audible click isheard. Make sure the connector is fullyinserted and flush with the control boxbefore inserting it into the outlet. Improperinsertion of the connector results in anamber fault light or intermittent charging,and a longer charge session.
Note:Follow the installation instructionsprovided with the mobile power cord.
Note:We recommend using the suppliedplugs and connectors.
Note:If you do not use a dedicated circuit,the circuit breaker could trip or open. If adedicated circuit is not available, contact alicensed professional electrician regardingthe installation of a dedicated outlet.
Note:The mobile power cord does notcharge and gives a fault indication, if groundis not present.
Note:Plug the connector for the mobilepower cord directly into the wall plugreceptacle. Do not plug the mobile powercord into any form of extension cord.
Note:The wall bracket must be used tosupport the charge control box. The chargecontrol box cannot be hung from the outletor wall plug.
