WARNING
Improper charging can result in a fire,
property damage, and serious injury or
death.
Always use a grounded outlet protected by
a ground-fault circuit interrupter, rated
AC 120 V and rated for 15 A or more con-
nected to a dedicated branch circuit. If the
outlet is not grounded, the risk of electri-
cal shock will increase in the event of an
insulation failure in the EV charging
cable.
If the circuit is shared, and another elec-
trical device is being used at the same time
the vehicle is charging, the circuit may
heat abnormally, the breaker may trip
and the circuit may cause adverse inter-
ference on household electrical appliances
such as televisions and audio systems.
Individuals
using
an
electro-medical
apparatus such as implantable pacemak-
ers and implantable cardiovascular-defi-
brillators
should
check
manufacturer of the apparatus to confirm
the effect of the electromagnetic waves
from charging. The electromagnetic waves
may affect the operations of the electro-
medical apparatus.
If you use an electro-medical apparatus,
such as an implantable cardiac pacemaker
or an implantable cardiovascular defibril-
lator, observe the following precautions
before charging;
WARNING
• Keep your electro-medical apparatus
away from the charge connector, EV
charging cable, control box and normal
charging station.
• While normal charging;
· Do not stay inside the vehicle.
· Do not return to the vehicle.
· Do not open the liftgate, for example to
remove or place an item in the cargo
area.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, con-
nect only to a properly grounded and
waterproofed outlet.
Never use an extension cable, multi-plug
adapter or conversion adapter.
Using them may cause overheating result-
ing in fire.
Never force the connection if the EV
charging cable or plug shows damage or is
not easily connected due to foreign mate-
rial entering the plug or the outlet.
with
the
Never use an outlet that is worn, damaged,
or will not hold the plug firmly.
Make sure that the plug is inserted all the
way into the outlet before use.
While it is normal for the plug and EV
charging cable to become warm during
charging, discontinue use immediately if
the plug or EV charging cable becomes
too hot to touch.
Never pull the cable to remove the plug.
Never connect or disconnect the plug with
a wet hand.
Normal charging (charging method with rated AC 120 V outlet)
CAUTION
During charging, the cooling fans in the
engine compartment may automatically be
operated even if the operation mode of the
power switch is in OFF. Keep your hands
away from the cooling fan during charging.
Do not perform charging from other power
source like a generator. Doing so could cause
a malfunction.
Do not push the rear portion of the charging
lid when the charging lid is locked.
There is a possibility that the charging lid
open unexpectedly when the driver's door is
unlocked.
NOTE
Your vehicle is equipped with an EV charg-
ing cable for normal charging. Refer to "EV
charging cable" on page 3-28.
When connecting or disconnecting the nor-
mal charge connector, insert/pull out the con-
nector straight.
Also, do not incline or twist the connector.
Doing so could cause a bad connection or
malfunction.
Make sure to lock the doors to prevent theft,
etc. during charging.
