How to Disconnect Charging
Connector in Emergency
If the charging connector does not dis‐
c
onnect due to battery discharge and
failure of the electric wires, open the
hood and slightly pull the emergency
cable. The charging connector will then
disconnect.
The charging cable lock may not work
properly when foreign materials such
as dust enter the cable or the cable is
encrusted with ice.
In that case, the charging cable may
not be disconnected or locked, or the
vehicle may not be charged.
If this happens, open the hood and pull
the
emergency cable lightly 2 to 3
times and then try to disconnect the
charging cable or start recharging.
