Charging Precautions
Actual charger image and charg-
ing method may vary in accor-
dance with the charger manufac-
turer.
Electromagnetic waves that
are generated from the charg-
er can seriously impact med-
ical electric devices such as
an implantable cardiac pace-
maker.
When using medical electric
devices such as an implantable
cardiac pacemaker, make sure
to ask the medical team and
manufacturer whether charg-
ing your electric vehicle will
impact the operation of the
medical electric devices such
as an implantable cardiac
pacemaker.
Inspect the charging cable
connector for any signs of
water or excess dust or dirt.
Connecting the cable when
there is water or dirt on the
connector may initiate a short
circuit and cause a fire or
electric shock.
WARNING
Use caution not to touch the
charging connector or the
charging port when connect-
ing the cable from the charger
to the charging port on the
vehicle.
Comply with the following in
order to prevent electrical
shock when charging:
- Use caution when connect-
ing the charger to the charg-
ing port when it is raining or
snowing.
- Use caution when there are adverse weather conditions
such as lightning.
- Use caution when the charg- ing connector or the charg-
ing plug is wet.

tor 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.
WARNING
Always keep the charging con-
nector 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 designat-
ed charger for charging the
electric vehicle. Using any
other charger may cause fail-
ure.
Before charging the battery,
turn the vehicle OFF.
When the vehicle is switched
OFF while charging, the cool-
ing fan inside the motor com-
partment may automatically
operate. Do not touch the cool-
ing fan while charging.
Be careful not to drop the
charging connector. The
charging connector can be
damaged.
