Information
If you cannot open the charging door due
to freezing weather, tap lightly or remove
any ice near the charging door. Do not try
to forcibly open the charging door.
To control the temperature of the high
voltage battery while charging, the
air conditioner is used to cool down
the battery. It may generate noise or
vibration from operation of the air
conditioner compressor and cooling
fan, but it is a normal condition when
charging the high voltage battery. Also,
the air conditioner’s performance may
be degraded in summer due to operation
of the cooling system to charge the high
voltage battery. This is a normal condition.
4. Check whether there is dust or foreign
substances inside the charging
connector and charging inlet.
5. Hold the charging connector handle
and connect it to the vehicle charging
inlet. Push the connector all the way
in. If the charging connector and
charging terminal are not connected
properly, this may cause a fire.
Refer to the manual for each type of
DC charger for how to charge and
remove the charger.
