and/or malfunction.
CAUTION
 To help keeping foreign material out of the
charge port, do not leave the inner lid open

 If the charge port becomes frozen, use a hair
dryer to defrost and dry the port before
charging. Forcing the charging connector to
connect with the port while it is frozen can
damage the port and/or prevent charging.
WARNING
 Make sure that the plug is inserted all the
way into the outlet before use.
NOTE
 To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire
due to electric leak, always use an
grounded outlet protected by a ground-
fault circuit interrupter, rated AC 120V
and rated for 15A or more, and that is
connected to a dedicated branch circuit.
If the circuit is shared, and another elec-
trical device is being used at the same time
the vehicle is charging, the circuit may
heat abnormally, the breaker may trip
and the circuit may cause adverse inter-
ference on the household electrical appli-
ances such as televisions and audio
systems.
 To reduce the risk of electric shock, con-
nect only to a properly grounded and
waterproofed outlet.
 Always use an AC 120V outlet rated for
15A or more.
