Charging Instructions
 Use a properly-grounded, three-prong outlet.
 Ensure that the outlet can provide 15A of continuous
current. A dedicated circuit with a 15A or higher breaker or
fuse is preferable. If a dedicated circuit is not used, check
that the current draw of the vehicle (15A) plus any other
devices connected to the circuit does not exceed the
circuit’s rating. There should be no other major appliances
connected to the same circuit.
 If charging outdoors, use a weatherproof electrical outlet.
 Never use an extension cord, power strip, splitter,
grounding adapter, surge protector or any similar device.
Connect the charge cable directly to the outlet.
 Position the charge cable to avoid strain on the outlet,
cable, and plug. Route the cable so it is dry and protected
from damage (e.g. being driven on, tripped over, etc.).
If you must use an electrical outlet with unknown conditions:
 Always visually inspect the condition of the outlet before
connecting the charge cable.
 Do not use an electrical outlet that appears worn or
damaged, or will not hold the plug firmly in place.
 After 10 minutes of charging, check both the electrical
outlet and the plug while charging, and discontinue use if
the outlet or plug is hot.
Connecting the Charge Cable
Always position the charge cable so that it
will not be driven over, stepped on,
tripped over, or otherwise damaged or stressed while in use. To
prevent a tripping hazard, as well as damage to or loss of the
charge cable, always store it in its storage space under the
hood of the vehicle after every use.
The connector end of the charge cable is
heavy and can damage the vehicle’s paint
if mishandled while connecting or disconnecting.
Position the vehicle so that the charge cable easily reaches the
charging port on the rear of the vehicle and the electrical outlet
on the wall.
1. Remove the portable charge cable from its storage space
under the hood. See “Hood”, page 4-28 .
2. Place the vehicle in N (Neutral) with the key switch in the
OFF position and set the parking brake. See “Electronic
Parking Brake (EPB)”, page 4-18 .
3. Plug the charge cable into an electrical wall outlet. Always
connect the charge cable to a grounded 15 amp outlet.
Never use an extension cord.
4. Verify the Power status on the charge cable box.
