How to Disconnect an AC charger
1.The vehicle must be in the AUTO
mode or the doors must be
unlocked in order to be able to dis-
connect the charging connector. A
lock system prevents charger
cable disconnection when the vehi-
cle's doors are locked.
2.While holding the charging con-
nector, pressing the locking
release button (1) and then pull it
out.
To prevent charging cable theft, the
charging connector cannot be dis-
connected from the inlet when the
doors are locked. Unlock all doors
to disconnect the charging connec-
tor from the inlet.
However, if the vehicle is in the
charging connector AUTO mode,
the charging connector automati-
cally unlocks from the inlet when
charging is completed.

AUX. BATTERY SAVER+ (For
Plug-in Hybrid, if equipped)
The Aux. Battery Saver+ is a function
that monitors the charging status of
the 12V auxiliary battery.
If the auxiliary battery level is low, the
main high voltage battery charges
the auxiliary battery.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The Aux. Battery Saver+ function will
be ON when the vehicle is delivered. If
the function is not needed, you may
turn it off in the Users Settings mode
on the LCD display. For more infor-
mation, refer to the "System setting"
on the following page.
Mode

When the vehicle is OFF with all
doors, hood and liftgate closed, the

vates according to the auxiliary bat-
tery status.

When the engine start/stop button is
in the ON position with the charging
connector plugged in, this function
activates according to the auxiliary
battery status to prevent over-dis-
charge of the auxiliary battery.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The Aux. Battery Saver+ activates
for a maximum of 20 minutes. If the
Aux. Battery Saver+ function acti-
vates more than 10 times consecu-
tively, in the Automatic Mode, this
function will stop activating, judg-
ing 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 nor-
mal.

was activated, the high voltage bat-
tery level may have decreased.
