Hybrid System Overview  
Charging the plug-in hybrid vehicle  
If the charging door is not opened  
immediately with the emergency  
cable in operation, press the  
charging door lightly and pull the  
emergency cable again.  
Charge cable storage  
The charging cable lock may not  
work properly when foreign materi  
-
als such as dust enters the cable or  
the cable is encrusted with ice.  
In that case, the charging cable may  
not be disconnected from the car.  
OCDPQ019010  
We recommend that the trickle  
charger cable should be put in the  
storage box after use.  
If this happens, open the hood and  
pull the emergency cable lightly 2 to  
3 times before starting charging.  
Checking Charging Status  
OCDPQ019015  
You can check the charging status  
at the outside of vehicle when  
charging or using (it is not driving  
status) the high-voltage battery.  
It takes about 2.3 hours or more to  
complete charging.  
For more information about  
charging status indicator, refer to  
"Charging Status" on page 1-4.
