NOTICE
■After charging
● After disconnecting the charging connector from the charging in let, make
sure to put on the charging inlet cap and close the charging port lid.
If the charging inlet cap is not put on, water or foreign objects may enter
the charging inlet, which could lead to vehicle damage.
• Vehicles without smart lid & connector locking system: The cha rging
port lid does not have a lock. Take care not to press and open the door
accidentally.
• Vehicles with smart lid & connector locking system: If the cha rging port
lid is not locked, take care as it may open if unintentionally touched.
● After removing the plug from the outlet, keep it in a safe place free from
moisture and dust.
The charging cable or plug may be damaged if the cable is stepp ed on or
ridden over by the vehicle.
■ Using private power generator
Do not use private power generators as a power source for charg ing.
Doing so may make charging unstable, the voltage may be insuffi cient, and
the error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Inter rupting
Device) of the charging cable may flash.
■ Usable temperature range
● Do not charge if the outside temperature is -22 F (-30 C) or below, as it is
likely that charging will take longer, and equipment related to charging will
be damaged.
● Do not leave the vehicle or the charging cable in areas where the outside
temperature is lower than -40 F (-40 C). The vehicle or charging cable will
probably be damaged.
■ Charging equipment
Due to the environment in which the power equipment is located, charging
may be unstable due to noise, the voltage may be insufficient, and the error
warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) of the
charging cable may flash.
