Foreword / Starting Your Electric Vehicle
 Information
To prevent charging cable theft, 
the charging connector cannot be 
disconnected from the inlet when the 
doors are locked or the charging connector 
is in the LOCK mode. Unlock all doors to 
disconnect the charging connector from 
the inlet.
However, if the vehicle is in the charging 
connector AUTO mode, the charging 
connector automatically unlocks from the 
inlet when charging is completed.
If the charging connector is disconnected 
while the release button is not pressed, the 
connector and the inlet may be damaged. 
For more details, refer to “Charging 
Connector Lock” in this chapter.
If the release button does not work even 
after the all doors are unlocked, pull 
the emergency lift cable in the motor 
room and press the release button in the 
connector to disconnect it from the vehicle. 
If the release button still does not work, 
consult an authorized retailer of Genesis 
Branded products.
 Information
Some connectors installed in public 
charging stations stop charging by 
pressing the charge release button while 
charging is locked, and the connector can 
be disconnected.
3.  Make sure to completely close the 
charging door.
4.  Close the protection caps of the 
charging connector and the charging 
plug to protect them from foreign 
substances.
5.  If the personal charging connector is 
used, store the connector in the cable 
compartment.
