• Comply with the following in order
to prevent electrical shock when
charging:
- Use a waterproof charger.
- Make sure to not touch the
charging connector and charging
plug when your hand is wet. Do
not stand in water or snow
when connecting the charging
cable.
- Do not charge when there is
lightning.
- Do not charge when the charg‐
ing connector and plug is wet.
WARNING
• Immediately stop charging when
you find abnormal symptoms (e.g.,
smell, smoke).
• Replace the charging cable if the
cable coating is damaged to pre‐
vent electrical shock.
• When connecting or removing the
charging cable, make sure to hold
the charging connector handle and
charging plug.
Only use the charging cable (if
equipped) certified by Kia. If you
use a separate extension cable
such as a reel or use an uncertified
cable, it may cause abnormalities
of electrical outlets, leading to fire
or explosion.
If you pull the cable itself (without
using the handle), the internal
wires may disconnect or get dam‐
aged. This may lead to electric
shock or fire.
CAUTION
• Always keep the charging connec‐
tor and charging plug in clean and
dry condition. Be sure to keep the
charging cable in a condition where
there is no water or moisture.
• Make sure to use the designated
charger for charging the electric
vehicle. Using any other charger
may cause failure.
• Before charging the battery, turn
the vehicle [OFF].
• When the vehicle is switched [OFF]
while charging, the cooling fan in‐
side the motor compartment may
automatically operate. Do not
touch the cooling fan while charg‐
ing.
• Be careful not to drop the charging
connector. The charging connector
can be damaged.
