■
Follow these points when charging. If you do not follow them, fire or electri-
cal shock may occur, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
Connect to a power source suitable for charging. (→P. 77)
●
Check that the outlet, charging cable and charging inlet are not damaged.
●
Check that the tips of the plug have not been deformed.
●
If the plug is dirty or dusty, clean it before inserting.
●
Plugging into the outlet that is located in a spot that is not high above the
●
ground or floor is recommended.
Insert the plug firmly into the outlet.
●
Do not touch the electrical terminals of the charging connector or short it
●
with foreign objects.
Do not get water in the charging inlet.
●
Do not wash the vehicle while the charging cable is connected to the vehi-
cle. (→P. 426)
Do not touch metal objects or pointed objects (needles etc.) to the port of
●
the charging inlet.
Do not charge if the charging cable is coiled or bundled.

could result in strangulation or tripping hazard.
After connecting the charging cable, confirm that it is not bent.
