僅 Comply with the following in order to
prevent electrical shock when
charging:
- Use a waterproof charger.
- Do not touch the charging connec -
tor and charging plug with your
hands wet, or do not stand in water
or snow while connecting the
charging cable.
- Be careful when there is lightning.
- Be careful when the charging con -
nector and plug are wet.
僅 Immediately stop charging when you
discover abnormal symptoms (e.g.,
smell, smoke, etc.)
僅 Replace the charging cable if the
cable coating is damaged to prevent
electrical shock.
僅 Only use the charging cable (if
equipped) certified by Kia. If you use a
separate extension cable such as a
reel or use an uncertified cable, it may
cause abnormalities of electrical out -
lets, leading to fire or explosion.
僅 When connecting or removing the
charging cable, make sure to hold the
charging connector handle.
If you pull the cable itself (without
using the handle), the internal wires
may be disconnected or get dam -
aged. This may lead to electric shock
or fire.
