Stopping hybrid battery charging

Stop charging by unlocking the vehicle1. Unplug the charging cable from the vehicle's charging socket and then unplug the cable from the 120/240 V AC outlet.

 Important

Before the charging cable is removed from the vehicle's charging socket, the vehicle must be unlocked using the unlock button on the key. This must be done even if the vehicle's doors are already unlocked. If the vehicle is not unlocked using the unlock button, the charging cable or system may be damaged.

 Note

Always unlock the vehicle so that charging is cut off before the connection to the 120/240 V outlet (AC, alternating current) is disconnected. Note that the charging cable must be disconnected from the vehicle's charging socket before it is disconnected from the 120/240 V outlet, partly to prevent damage to the system and party to prevent unintentional interruption of charging.
