● c solid green and d flashes red:
charge cord fault: The charge cord has detected a potential
problem with the charge cord.
Reset the charge cord by
unplugging from the electrical
outlet and re-plugging it. If the fault remains, seek the
assistance of a workshop.
If no status indicator is lit, ensure the
electrical outlet is powered.
Charge level selection9 Warning
If the capacity of the electrical
circuit or AC socket is not known,
only use the lowest charge level
until the circuit capacity has been
inspected by a qualified
electrician. Using a charge level
that exceeds either the electrical
circuit or the AC outlet capacity
may start a fire or damage the
electrical circuit.
Note
By choosing a reduced charge level,
the charging time is increased.
Charge limit selection can be made
using the Charge limit preference
screen on the Info Display.
Charge limit selection 3 197.
Grounding instructions This product must be grounded. If this
product should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord that
has an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.9 Warning
Improper connection of the charge
cord ground may cause electrical
shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if there is doubt as to
whether the charge circuit is
properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product.
If it will not fit the electrical outlet,
have a proper electrical outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Charge cord mounting
instructions
Choose an appropriate, solid location for mounting the charge cord. The
appropriate height for mounting the
charge cord is 91 cm from the floor.
Space the holes 18.7 cm apart.
Install the mounting screws leaving
the head of the screws 5 mm from the
surface.
Securely mount the charge cord on to
the screws.
Connect the wall plug to the electrical
outlet.

charge port.

Driving and operating209Electrical requirementsCaution
Do not use portable or stationary
backup generating equipment to charge the vehicle. This may
cause damage to the vehicle's
charging system. Only charge the
vehicle from utility supplied power.
Charge limit selection 3 197.
Reduced limit mode allows a non-
dedicated circuit to be used but
increases the charging time.
This vehicle is capable of being
charged with standard vehicle
charging equipment complying with
one or more of the following
standards:
● SAE J1772
● SAE J2847–2
● IEC 61851-1

● IEC 61851-24
● IEC 62196-1
● IEC 62196-2
● IEC 62196-3
● ISO 15118
Ensure that all local electrical code / standards are being met for a 10 A
continuous load. Always follow the
charging equipment installation
instructions. Contact a workshop for
more information.9 Warning
If the capacity of the electrical
circuit or AC socket is not known,
only use the lowest charge level
until the circuit capacity has been
inspected by a qualified
electrician. Using a charge level
that exceeds either the electrical
circuit or the AC outlet capacity
may start a fire or damage the
electrical circuit.
