How to disconnect portable
charging cable (ICCB: In-Cable
Control Box)
1. Before disconnecting the charging
connector, make sure the doors are
unlocked. When the door is locked,
the charging connector lock system
will not allow disconnection. To pre-
vent charging cable theft, the
charging connector cannot be discon-
nected from the inlet when the doors
are locked. However, if the vehicle is
in the charging connector AUTO
mode, the charging connector auto-
matically unlocks from the inlet when
charging is completed.
For more details, refer to "AC charging
connector lock" on page 1-6.
CAUTION
In order to disconnect the charging con-
nector, unlock the doors to unlatch the
charging connector lock system. If not,
the charging connector and the vehicle's
charging inlet may be damaged.
2. While holding the charging connector,
pressing the locking release button
and then pull it out.
