How to charge

This vehicle has been designed to allow charging from an external

power source using a charging cable for exclusive use with standard

household AC sockets.

However, the vehicle differs greatly from standard household electri-

cal goods in the following ways, and incorrect usage could cause

fire and/or electric shock, possibly leading to death or serious injury.

 The charging operation is designed to operate at 10A continu-

ously for the charge duration (about 1.5 hours).

 Charging can be conducted outdoors.

To charge properly, follow the procedure after reading the explana-

tion below. Charging is intended to be carried out by licensed driv-

ers only who properly understand the charging procedure. Charging

should not be carried out by children.

When charging with a charging stand, follow the procedures for

using the charging stand.

Confirm the following before charging

 The parking brake is applied. (P. 294)

 Lights such as the headlights, emergency flashers and interior

lights etc. are switched off.

If these light switches are turned ON, then these features will con-

sume electricity, and charging time will increase.

 The "POWER" switch is OFF. (P. 279)
