8. Check if the charging connector
indicator light (
) of the high
voltage battery in the instrument
cluster is turned ON. Charging is not
active when the charging connector
indicator light (
) is OFF.
When the charging connector and
charging plug are not connected
properly, reconnect the charging
cable to charge.
Information
To control the temperature of the high
voltage battery while charging, the air
conditioner is used to cool down the
battery. It may generate noise or vibration
from operation of the air conditioner
compressor and cooling fan, but it is a
normal condition when charging the high
voltage battery. Also, the air conditioner’s
performance may be degraded in
summer due to operation of the cooling
system to charge the high voltage battery.
This is a normal condition.
Information
ś
Even though charging is possible with
the Start/Stop button in the ON/START
position, for your safety, start charging

you can use electrical components such
as the radio by pressing the Start/Stop
button to the ACC or ON position.

During AC charging, the radio
reception may be bad.

During charging, the gear cannot be
shifted from P (Park) to any other gear.
