Precautions At Normal Charging

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING:

Always use the normal charging cable that is equipped with the vehicle.
Do not insert or remove the plug with a moistened or wet hand.
Do not touch the metal terminal of normal charging connection and normal charging cable (normal charging plug). An accident such as electric shock may result.
Do not perform charging with the vehicle covered with the body cover.
When there is a risk of lightning strike, do not perform charging.
If any unusual smell is noticed or if smoke is detected from the vehicle, immediately stop the charging.
Do not perform charging if any damage, corrosion, or rust is found with the normal charging cable, or if any looseness is present with the connection. An electrical leakage, electric shock, short, or fire hazard may result.
Never modify or disassemble the charging cable. A fire hazard may result.
When handling the charging cable, be careful with the followings: do not pull forcibly; do not twist; do not drag; do not place heavy object onto the cable or adapter; do not place heating devices (stove, etc.) near the cable or adapter; do not drop the normal charging plug; and do not subject the normal charging plug to any strong shocks.
When removing and connecting the normal charging cable (normal charging plug), remove and connect the normal charging plug straight. If the normal charging plug is forcibly removed or connected while it is slanted or twisted, the plug may be damaged. Due to this, the plug cannot be inserted or charging can not be performed by poor connection.
Do not perform charging at an ill-ventilated place enclosed by walls or others. Keep a source of fire away from the 12V starter battery. At charging, a building in which work is performed may be charged with flammable gas generated from the 12V starter battery, and an explosion may result. When the charging is unavoidable, always exercise sufficient ventilation.
After charging is complete, securely close the inner lid and the lid of normal charging connection to prevent any water or dust intrusion.
Always remove the plug from the power outlet after charging is finished. If the plug is kept connected to the power out let, a serious accident including electric shock will result.

CAUTION: During charging, the cooling fan may operate automatically even when the electric motor switch is in the OFF position. Do not place the hands near the cooling fan during charging.

NOTE: Approximate charging duration

Approx. 7 hours with household power outlet
