How to disconnect DC charger
1. Remove the charging connector when
DC charging is completed, or after
you stop charging using the DC char -
ger. Refer to each respective DC char -
ger manual for details about how to
disconnect the charging connector.
2. Make sure to completely close the
charging door.
CAUTION
僅 High frequency noise may be inter -
mittently heard from outside the vehi -
cle when charging with old DC
charging stations or DC charging sta -
tions with communication delay.
僅 This high frequency noise is heard
when the vehicle operates the func -
tion to reduce electromagnetic waves
on its own to maintain charging. Thus,
1 28
it is the normal functional behavior of
the vehicle which does not affect
charging or vehicle performance.
NOTICE
僅 If you use a DC charger when the
vehicle is already fully charged, some
DC chargers will send out an error
message. When the vehicle is fully
charged, do not charge the vehicle.
僅 If you cannot open the charging door
due to freezing weather, tap lightly or
remove any ice near the charging
door. Do not try to forcibly open the
charging door.
僅 To control the temperature of the high
voltage battery while charging, the air
conditioner is used to cool down the
battery which may generate noise
from operation of the air conditioner
compressor and cooling fan.
Also, the air conditioner's perfor -
mance may be degraded during sum -
mer due to operation of the cooling
system for the high voltage battery.
僅 Even though charging is possible with
the EV button in the ON/START posi -
tion, for you safety, start charging
when the EV button is in the OFF posi -
tion and the vehicle shifted to P
(Park). After charging has started, you
can use electrical components such as
the radio by pressing the EV button to
the ACC or ON position.
During charging, the gear cannot be
shifted from P (Park) to any other
gear.
僅 Depending on the condition and dura -
bility of the high voltage battery, char -
ger specifications, and ambient
temperature, the time required for
charging the battery may vary.
