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

Before the charging cable is removed from the vehicle's charging socket, the vehicle must be unlocked using the unlock button on the remote 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.

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.
