Kia EV9 2023 Owner's Manual page 61

Introduction
僅 If you pull the cable itself (without using the handle), the internal wires may be discon-
nected or get damaged. This may lead to electric shock or fire.
僅 Do not leave the vehicle with the charging door open. An open charging door may indi-
cate that the vehicle door has been unlocked and may be subject to vehicle theft.
CAUTION
僅 Always keep the charging connector and charging plug in clean and dry condition. Be
sure to keep the charging cable in a condition where there is no water or moisture.
僅 Make sure to use the designated charger for charging the electric vehicle. Using any
other charger may cause failure.
僅 Before charging the battery, turn the vehicle OFF.
僅 When the vehicle is switched OFF while charging, the cooling fan inside the motor com-
partment may automatically operate. Do not touch the cooling fan while charging.
僅 Be careful not to drop the charging connector. The charging connector can be dam-
aged.
僅 Do NOT use a extension cord, when using the L1-Trickle charger, as this may overheat
and/or cause damage.
NOTE
When charging or right after charging the high voltage battery, the cooling will be made
using air conditioner system in order to control the high voltage battery temperature.
At this time, the noise might occur by the air conditioner compressor and cooling fan, but
this is due to normal operation.
