7. Check if the charging indicator light
(
) of the high voltage battery in
the instrument cluster is turned ON.
Charging is not active when the
charging indicator light (

If the charging cable is not connected
to the vehicle side inlet properly,
charging may not start. In this case,
try reconnecting charging cable to
vehicle inlet again.
Information
To control the temperature of the high
voltage battery while charging or when
the battery temperature is high, the air
conditioner is used to cool down the
battery. It may generate noise or vibration
from operation of the air conditioner
compressor and cooling fan, but it is a
normal condition when charging the high
voltage battery. Also, the air conditioner’s
performance may be reduced due to
operation of the cooling system to charge
the high voltage battery. This is a normal
condition.
Information

button to the ACC or ON position.
