Charging
Charging the traction battery is a straight-forward and safe
process. THINK City is supplied with a portable charger system
(PCS) that includes a control unit with cables for connections
to the electrical outlet and the vehicle. To charge the battery,
connect the charging cable supplied with the vehicle to the
electrical outlet.
The connection is made through the hatch on the driver side of
the vehicle, in front of the driver side door.
You will also nd more information on proper charging
procedures and troubleshooting in the Portable Charger System
Manual provided along with this manual.
To charge the battery:
!
WARNING
• Always follow the charging directions carefully. If you don’t,
you may cause damage to the vehicle and/or the connected
electrical outlet, injury to persons or accidental death.
• Inspection of the charge cable is required before use. A
defective charge cable may cause an electric shock, with
possible injury or accidental death, and/or damage to
vehicle or building due to overheating.
!
CAUTION
It is not possible to charge the traction battery if the 12V battery
is completely discharged.
1. Park the vehicle with the gear selector in P (Park) and engage
the parking brake.
2. Place the charging cable so that the PCS does not exert undue
pressure on the cable and/or electrical outlet.
3. Always check the charging cable for any damaged areas.
4. Connect charging cable to
power supply. Maximum safety
is achieved when the charging
cable is rst connected to the
electrical outlet and then to the
vehicle.
5. Open the charger plug lid with
your thumb, liing upwards and connect charger plug to
vehicle socket.
6. Ensure that the battery
charging indicator lamp in the
vehicle illuminates and the
economy gauge needle in the
instrument cluster is in the +
region.
7. The charge time is dependent upon the total capacity of
the battery, how much ampere-hour capacity is le and the
amount of current used.
