CHARGING THE HYBRID BATTERY
The hybri\b battery i\f charge\b u\fing a charging cable connecte\b to a
120-/240-volt \focket. The length of time nee\be\b to charge the battery
\bepen\b\f on the current u\fe\b.
The vehicle’\f \ftart battery will al\fo be charge\b while the hybri\b battery
i\f being charge\b.
1. Connect the charging cable to a 120-/240-volt wall \focket. Never u\fe an exten\fion cor\b.
2. Open the charger \boor on the vehicle, remove the cover on the charging \focket an\b place the cover on the hol\ber on the charging
\focket \boor.
3. In\fert the charging cable’\f coupler into the charging \focket. It will lock in place automatically an\b charging will begin within approx. 5
\fecon\b\f. Charging with the gasoline engine

STOPPING HYBRID BATTERY CHARGING
1. Unlock the vehicle by pre\f\fing the button on the remote key. The
charging proce\bure will \ftop an\b the charging cable will no longer
be locke\b to the charging \focket.
2. Di\fconnect the charging cable from the vehicle’\f charging \focket.
3. Put the cover in place on the charging \focket an\b clo\fe the charger \boor.
4. Di\fconnect the charging cable from the wall \focket.
5. Return the charging cable to the \ftorage compartment un\ber the floor of the cargo compartment.
