僅 Charging with the worn out or dam -
aged household electric outlet can

NOTICE
To prevent charging cable theft, the
charging connector cannot be discon -
nected from the inlet when the doors are
locked or the charging connector is in
the Always lock mode. Unlock all doors
to disconnect the charging connector
from the inlet.
However, if the vehicle is in the charging
connector Lock while charging mode,
the charging connector automatically
unlocks from the inlet when charging is
completed.
If the charging connector is discon -
nected while the release button is not
pressed, the connector and the inlet may
be damaged.
For more details, refer to "Charging con -
nector lock" on page 1-20.
If the release button does not work even
after the all doors are unlocked, pull the
emergency lift cable in the motor room
and press the release button in the con -
nector to disconnect it from the vehicle.
If the release button still does not work,
visit an authorized Kia dealer.
