Make sure to read and fully understand the following warnings and cautions before attempting to charge the vehicle. Failure to observe cautions and warnings may result in vehicle damage, injury, or death in the event of an accident.
Never disassemble, remove, or replace high voltage components, cables, or connectors. High voltage cables and connectors are colored orange for identification purposes.
Never use a charging cable if there is any damage to the unit.
Never use an extension lead or multiple socket in order to extend the reach of a charging cable.
Never connect a plug adaptor to a charging cable when traveling abroad.
Always fully unwind the charging cable. Failure to fully unwind the charging cable could lead to overheating of the cable.
Before initially connecting a charging cable, make sure the electricity supply has been checked and approved by a suitably qualified person.
Do not expose the charge cable contacts to rain, a direct jet of water, or a water splash. Do not immerse the charge cable in water.
Never attempt to pull the cable from the charging port once it is locked. Damage to the cable's locking mechanism will result. If disconnection is required, press the unlock button on the smart key once for AC charging, twice for DC charging. The cable's locking mechanism re-engages after a short time.
Always select the correct charging cable for the vehicle when using a public charging station, with a connector that matches the vehicle’s charging port.
Always contact a retailer/authorized repairer if the charging cable fails to release regularly.
Before attempting to perform any repairs on a vehicle, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
