For connecting and disconnecting, follow
the instruction manual for each quick
charger.

 You may hear operating sounds from the
main drive lithium-ion battery cooling sys-
tem, such as sounds from the cooling fan and
air conditioning compressor, during quick
charging. This is normal.
 Since the main drive lithium-ion battery

conditioning system, the air conditioning
will automatically be operated.
After quick charging, you may find dehu-
midified water from the air conditioning sys-
tem under the vehicle. This is normal.
8. Charging is complete when the charging
indicator turns off.
Disconnect the quick charge connector
