CHARGING AND FUELING THE VEHICLE
11. Close the charging port cover
WARNING: If the charge cord is
severed, frayed, or damaged,
contact your Karma Automotive Retailer.
WARNING: Use the appropriate plug
for the outlet. All of the ground pins
should be in normal operating condition.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Gasoline vapors are
highly flammable, have a low flash
point, and are explosive, especially in
confined spaces. Avoid exposing the vapor
to any potential sources of ignition as the
resulting fire and explosion may cause
serious injuries and/or death.
WARNING: Never fill the vehicle’s
fuel tank while the vehicle is charging
or connected to a charging station. An
accidental spark could cause an explosion
or fire resulting in serious injury and/or
death.
WARNING: Switch off the engine
when refueling, as it is both a source
of extreme temperatures and electrical
sparks. Failure to do so may cause a fire or
explosion.
WARNING: During refueling, switch
off any personal electronic devices
such as mobile phones or music players.
They have the potential to trigger an
explosion or a fire.
WARNING: Do not smoke, use an
open flame, or cause sparks while
refueling. The resulting fire and/or
explosion may cause serious injury and/or
death.
WARNING: Only use containers
specifically designed for carrying
fuel, and always remove them from the
vehicle to fill them. Failure to do so may
result in spillage and cause a fire.
WARNING: Do not overfill the fuel
tank. Overfilling may cause spillage
when the vehicle is driven. Spillage may
also occur if the fuel expands in high
ambient temperatures.
After refueling the vehicle, regardless of
drive mode selected, the engine will be
forced to carry out maintenance on the
Evaporative Emissions System. The engine
must run near idle for approximately five
minutes. The duration of the required
engine run time will be based on the
environmental conditions and the amount
of fuel added. The hotter the weather, and
the more fuel added to the tank, the longer
the Evaporative Emissions System
maintenance will take.
This will not occur if the HV battery is fully
charged. The electric range has to drop
sufficiently (about 45 miles) for the
generator to start and perform the
maintenance. The generator may also
start for routine maintenance during a
normal drive cycle.
FUEL FILLER
The fuel filler is located on the right-
hand side of the vehicle. An arrow
on the fuel gauge also indicates
which side of the vehicle the fuel
filler is located on.
To refuel your Revero, it must first be
stationary in Park [P], powered off, and
unlocked. Then press the fuel filler cover
release button. This is located on the
driver's side dashboard closing panel.
The fuel filler cover will gently spring open.
Twist the fuel filler cap counter clockwise to
release.
