Electric vehicle guide
• Check to make sure there is no water or dust on the charging cable connector and
plug before connecting to the charger and charging inlet. Connecting whilst there is
water or dust on the charging cable connector and plug may cause a fire or electric
shock.
• Be careful not to touch the charging connector, charging plug, and the charging
inlet when connecting the charger connector cable to the charging outlet and the
charging inlet on the vehicle.
• Comply with the following in order to prevent electrical shock when charging:
◦ Use a waterproof charger.
◦ Do not touch the charging connector and charging plug with your hands wet, or
do not stand in water or snow whilst connecting the charging cable.
◦ Be careful when there is lightning.
◦ Be careful when the charging connector and plug are wet.
• Immediately stop charging when you discover abnormal symptoms (smell, smoke,
etc.).
• Replace the charging cable if the cable coating is damaged to prevent electrical
shock.
• When connecting or removing the charging cable, make sure to hold the charging
connector handle.
• Only use the charging cable (if equipped) certified by Kia. If you use a separate ex
tension 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 be dis
connected or get damaged. This may lead to electric shock or fire.
• Do not leave the vehicle with the charging door open. An open charging door may
indicate that the vehicle door has been unlocked and may be subject to vehicle
theft.
CAUTION
• Always keep the charging connector and charging plug in clean and dry condition.
Be sure to keep the charging cable in a condition where there is no water or mois
ture.
• 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] whilst charging, the cooling fan inside the motor
compartment may automatically operate. Do not touch the cooling fan whilst charg
ing.
