Stopping hybrid battery charging
To stop charging of the hybrid battery, unlock the vehicle, unplug the charging cable from the vehicle's charging socket and then unplug the cable from the 120/240 V outlet (alternating current).
Important
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.
Unlock the vehicle with the remote key. Charging will stop.
Press the lock button on the charging cable's handle. The handle will be released/unlocked. Remove the cable from the vehicle's charging socket, put the socket's cover back in place and close the charger door.
Unplug the cable from the 120/240 V outlet.
Stow the charging cable in the storage compartment under the cargo area floor.
Charging cable automatically locks
If the charging cable cannot be removed from the charging socket, it will automatically lock into place again after unlocking to maximize charging and range and to enable preconditioning before driving. The charging cable can be removed again if the vehicle is unlocked using the remote key. For vehicles with Passive Entry*, the handle can be used to lock and unlock.
