Do not connect the charging cable
connector plug to the vehicle if there
is water or dust on the charging in‐
let. Connecting while there is water
or dust on the charging cable con‐
nector and plug may cause a fire or
electric shock. There may be a risk
of fire and injury when using old
worn out public electrical outlets.
WARNING
n Interference with electronic
medical devices
When using medical electric devices
such as an implantable cardiac pace‐
maker, make sure to ask the medical
team and manufacturer whether
charging your electric vehicle will im‐
pact the operation of the medical
devices. In some instances, electro‐
magnetic waves that are generated
from the charger can seriously im‐
pact medical electric devices such as
an implantable cardiac pacemaker.
WARNING
n Touching the charging connec‐
tor
Do not touch the charging connector,
charging plug, and the charging inlet
when connecting the cable to the
charger and the charging inlet on the
vehicle. Doing so may result in elec‐
trocution.

prevent electrical shock when charg‐
ing:
- Use a waterproof charger
- Make sure to not touch the charg‐
ing connector and charging plug
when your hand is wet
- Do not charge when there is light‐
ning

• Immediately stop charging when
you find abnormal symptoms
(smell, smoke).
• Replace the charging cable if the
cable coating is damaged to pre‐
vent electrical shock.
• When connecting or removing the
charging cable, make sure to hold
the charging connector handle and
charging plug.
If you pull the cable itself (without
using the handle), the internal
wires may disconnect or get dam‐
aged. This may lead to electric
shock or fire.
WARNING

Do not touch the cooling fan while
vehicle is charging. When the vehicle
is switched OFF while charging, the
cooling fan inside the motor com‐
partment may automatically oper‐
ate.
