NOTICE
■
After charging
●
After disconnecting the charging connector from the charging inlet, make
sure to close the charging port lid.
If the charging port lid is left open, water or foreign objects may enter the
charging inlet, which could lead to vehicle damage.
(The charging port lid does not have a lock. Take care not to press and
open the door accidentally.)
●
After removing the plug from the outlet, keep it in a safe place free from
moisture and dust.
The charging cable or plug may be damaged if the cable is stepped on or
ridden over by the vehicle.
■
Using private power generators
Do not use private power generators as a power source for charging.
Doing so may make charging unsafe.
■
Usable temperature range
●
Do not charge if the outside temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or below, as it is
likely that charging will take longer, and equipment related to charging will
be damaged.
●
Do not leave the vehicle or the charging cable in areas where the outside
temperature is lower than -40 °F (-40 °C). The vehicle or charging cable
will probably be damaged.
