WARNING
• Make sure to use the EV charging ca-
ble that comes with the vehicle.
• Do not charge another vehicle using
the attached EV charging cable.
Doing so the cable may be heated and
this might result in fire.
• Make sure to use an outlet that is pro-
tected from water entering.
• Do not perform charging with the
body cover.
• Do not remove and insert plugs with
wet hands.
• Do not charge the battery if there is a
risk of lightning.

If abnormal smells are detected or the ve-
hicle produces smoke, quickly stop charg-
ing.
l Do not perform charging at a poorly ven-
tilated place with surroundings covered.
Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away
from the auxiliary battery.
Flammable gas generated from the auxili-
ary battery in charging may be filled in a
building, resulting in explosion.
If charging is inevitably required, venti-
late the area well.
l Grasp the regular charging plug when
connecting or disconnecting the EV charg-
ing cable.
Grasping the cable could cause an elec-
tric shock, short circuit, and/or fire.
CAUTION
l
Do not perform charging from other pow-
er source like a generator. Doing so could
cause a malfunction.
l During charging, the cooling fans inside
the bonnet room may automatically be op-
erated even if the electric motor switch is
in the "LOCK" position.
Keep your hands away from the cooling
fan during charging.

220-240 V outlets.
