Driving
● When the traction battery is charged in rain or snow, check that no water,
snow or ice has accumulated around the charging connector terminals
and the vehicle charging inlet. Tap snow, water or ice gently from connec-
tor prior to inserting charging connector into the vehicle’s charging inlet.
● Do not charge the traction battery when there is a possibility of lightning.
If you notice lightning while charging the vehicle, do not touch the vehicle
and the charging cable.
■ Warning while charging
The radiator cooling fan may start operating similar to when the EV system
is operated. Do not touch or get close to the operating cooling fan. Doing so
could cause a part of your body or clothes to be entangled with the fan,
resulting in serious injury.
■ When the charging cable is connected to the vehicle
Do not operate the shift lever.
In the unlikely event that the charging cable has been damaged, the shift
position may change from P to another position and the vehicle could move,
possibly leading to an accident.
■ When a quick charger is used
Use quick chargers compliant with the CHAdeMO specifications to charge
the battery. If a quick charger that is not compliant with CHAdeMO is used,
fire or electrical shock may occur, possibly resulting in death or serious
injury.
■ When the battery is charged with quick chargers
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the quick charger.
Incorrect use of the quick charger could cause damage to the vehicle or the
quick charger.
■ After charging
After the charging connector is disconnected from the charging inlet, close
the charging inlet cap and recharge inlet door.
If the recharge inlet door is left open, water or foreign objects may enter the
charging inlet, which could cause damage to the vehicle.
