2.While holding the charging con-
nector, pressing the
release button (1) and then pull it
out.
To prevent charging cable theft, the
charging connector cannot be dis-
connected from the inlet when the
doors are locked. Unlock all doors
to disconnect the charging connec-
tor from the inlet.
However, if the vehicle is in the
charging connector AUTO mode,
the charging connector automati-
cally unlocks from the inlet when
charging is completed.
For more details, refer to "Charging
Connector AUTO/ LOCK Mode" in

When disconnecting the charg-
ing connector, do not try to dis-
connect it by force while not
pressing the release button.
This may damage the charging
connector and vehicle charging
inlet.
