DC Fast Charging
DC fast charging (also known as
Level 3 charging) provides high
power DC current directly to the EV
battery. DC charging stations are
capable of charging the EV battery to
80% in less than 75 minutes under
normal conditions.
While DC charging is very fast com-
pared to AC charging, prolonged and
continuous use of DC fast charging
may reduce the long term life of the
EV battery. Usage of a DC fast
charger should be minimized when
possible in order to help prolong the
life of the EV battery.Actual charger image and charg-
ing method may vary in accor-
dance with the charging station
manufacturer.
Information
If you use a DC charger when the
vehicle is already fully charged, some
DC chargers will send out an error
message. When the vehicle is fully
charged, do not charge the vehicle.
How to Connect DC Charger
1. Depress the brake pedal and
apply the electronic parking brake.
2. Shift to P (Park) and turn OFF the vehicle using the POWER button.
Information
If charging is initiated without the
gear in P (Park), charging will start
only after the gear is automatically
shifted to P (Park). 3. Unlock the vehicle before opening
the charging door. From the out-
side the vehicle, push on the
charging door in the area indicat-
ed by the arrow to open the door.
Information
If you cannot open the charging door
due to freezing weather tap lightly or
remove any ice near the charging
door. Do not try to forcibly open the
charging door.

4. Remove the charging port dustcover (1).
5. Inspect the charging port to make sure it is free from any dust or
debris.
6. Hold the charging connector han- dle firmly and insert the connector
into the charging port all the way.
If the connector is not completely
inserted into the charging port, arc-
ing may occur. This may cause a
fire. 7. Check to see that the charging
indicator light in the instrument
cluster is illuminated. Charging
has not been initiated if the charg-
ing indicator light is OFF.
If the charging indicator light is
OFF, it may be necessary to dis-
connect the charging connector
from the vehicle and repeat the
connection process. Refer to the
charging station display screen for
more information.
During cold weather, DC charging
may not be available to prevent
high voltage battery degradation. In high ambient temperature con-
ditions like during summer
months, the A/C system may be
operating during EV battery
charging. You may hear additional
noises generated from the opera-
tion of the A/C compressor and
cooling fan. This is a normal con-
dition.Information
Note that the vehicle cannot be shifted
out of P (Park) when the vehicle is
charging.

generates an audible sound for near-
by pedestrians when the vehicle is in
ready ( ) mode and the vehicle is
in gear ("D" or "R"). The sound
changes if the vehicle is speeding up
or slowing down.
If the vehicle is in the ready ( )mode and the gear is not in P
(Park), the VESS will operate.
When the gear is shifted to R (Reverse), an additional warning
sound will be heard.
Distance to Empty
The location of where the vehicle
range is displayed is different
depending on which drive mode is
active.
For more details, refer to "Drive
Mode System" in chapter 5.
