UNLOCKING THE CHARGING PORT [G2553139]

To unlock the charging port when the vehicle is locked:

  1. Unlock the vehicle as normal, either using the smart key or keyless entry. See SMART KEY OPERATION and KEYLESS ENTRY.
  2. Wait for the charging port lock to release. The charge port is unlocked when the status light displays continuous white or continuous green.
  3. Remove the charging cable within 60 seconds.
    NOTE:

    If the cable is not released within 60 seconds, the charging port relocks.

    NOTE:

    If the smart key's unlock button is pressed once during DC charging, the vehicle unlocks without disrupting the charging process or unlocking the charging port.

Refer to the charging cable's emergency release procedure if the charging port does not release. See CHARGING CABLE EMERGENCY RELEASE.
