WARNING
• Immediately stop charging
when you find abnormal
symptoms (e.g.,
smoke).
• Replace the charging cable if
the cable coating is damaged
to prevent electrical shock.
• When connecting or removing
the charging cable, make sure
to hold the charging connec-
tor handle and charging plug.
Only use the charging cable
(if equipped) certified by Kia.
If you use a separate exten-
sion cable such as a reel or
use an uncertified cable, it
may cause abnormalities of
electrical outlets, leading to
fire or explosion.
If you pull the cable itself
(without using the handle), the
internal wires may disconnect
or get damaged. This may lead
to electric shock or fire.
