 Individuals using an electro-medical
apparatus such as implantable pacemak-
ers and implantable cardiovascular-defi-
brillators should check with the
manufacturer of the apparatus to confirm
the effect of the electromagnetic waves
from charging. The electromagnetic waves
may affect the operations of the electro-
medical apparatus.
 If you use an electro-medical apparatus,
such as an implantable cardiac pacemaker
or an implantable cardiovascular defibril-
lator, observe the following precautions
before charging;
• Keep your electro-medical apparatus
away from the charge connector, EV
charging cable, control box and regular
charging station.

· Do not stay inside the vehicle.
· Do not go inside the vehicle, for exam-
ple to remove or place an item in the

area.
 To reduce the risk of electric shock, con-
nect only to a properly grounded and

Using them may cause overheating result-
ing in fire.
WARNING
 Never force the connection if the charging
cable or plug shows damage or is not eas-
ily connected due to foreign material
entering the plug or the outlet.
 Never use an outlet that is worn, damaged,
or will not hold the plug firmly.
 Make sure that the plug is inserted all the
way into the outlet before use.

ing cable to become warm during charg-
ing, discontinue use immediately if the
plug or charging cable becomes too hot to
touch.
 Never pull the cable to remove the plug.
 Never connect or disconnect the plug with
a wet hand.

ing cable for regular charging. Refer to “EV

lar charge connector, insert/pull out the con-
nector straight.
