• Always mode : The connector locks
when the charging connector is plug‐
ged into the charging inlet. The con‐
nector is locked until all doors are un‐
locked by the driver. This mode can
be used to prevent charging cable
theft.
- If the charging connector is un‐
locked when all doors are unlocked,
but the charging cable is not dis‐
connected within 15 seconds, the
connector will be automatically
locked again. If the charging con‐
nector is unlocked when all doors
are unlocked, but all doors are
locked again, immediately, the
connector will be automatically
locked again.
• While charging mode mode : The con‐
nector locks when charging starts.
The connector unlocks when charging
is complete. This mode can be used
when charging in a public charging
station.
