Safety Precautions When Using the V2L Function

Before using the V2L function, read and comply with all the safety information below. Failure to do so may cause electric shock or fire and result in serious injury, death, vehicle malfunction, or property damage.

Precautions when using the V2L function
  • Do not use the V2L function if the V2L connector, charging inlet, power plug, or cable is damaged, corroded, or rusted.

  • Do not touch the V2L connector, charging inlet, or power plug with wet hands.

  • Do not use the V2L function if the connection part of the V2L connector and the charging inlet is loose.

  • Check if there is no water, dust, or other contaminants before connecting the connector and the power plug. They may cause electric shock or fire.

  • Do not put metal objects or touch the V2L connector or charging inlet with bare hands.

  • For electric devices used outdoors in a vehicle, use a product that is waterproof or use it in a waterproof environment. If rain or humidity intrude into electric devices, multi-outlets, extension cords, etc., it may cause electric shock or damage the vehicle or devices.

  • If there is a risk of lightning, do not use the V2L function outside the vehicle.

  • Do not use electric heating appliances such as an electric kettle, toaster, or iron in the vehicle. Doing so may result in a fire and injury.

Precautions for handling and using the V2L connector
  • Do not modify or disassemble the V2L connector. It may cause fire, electric shock, or injury. Damage to your vehicle caused by modification and disassembling is not covered by warranty.

  • Be careful when connecting or disconnecting the power plug to the V2L connector or when opening or closing the V2L connector cover. You may scratch your hand.

  • Be sure to disconnect the V2L connector from the vehicle when you are finished using V2L.

  • Do not charge the vehicle using the V2L connector. If you charge the vehicle arbitrarily by remodeling the power cable of the connector, etc., it may damage the vehicle.

  • Do not place objects on the V2L connector. It may damage the cable and cause electric shock or fire.

  • Do not drop the V2L connector or apply any impact on it. Keep it clean in a dry place without water or humidity.

Precautions when using electric/electronic products
  • Before using the product, check the precautions and how to use the product referring to the product manual.

  • Only use products that have obtained national safety certification.

  • Only use an electric device that does not exceed the maximum power capacity that the vehicle can supply. However, some of the electric devices may not operate normally even if the product has power consumption less than the maximum power capacity provided by the vehicle.

    • Electric devices that require high power during initial operation.

    • Measuring devices that need to process accurate data.

    • Electric devices that are sensitive to inverter type AC charger.

  • Do not use products that require a continuous power supply, such as medical equipment. The power supply may be interrupted depending on the vehicle's condition.

  • The V2L discharging mode is blocked automatically in the event of overheating. When the discharging mode is blocked, check whether the V2L connector or power plug is contaminated, worn, corroded or broken.

    • If the temperature falls to a proper level after it is left unattended, you can use it again.

    • If overheating repeats when using a certain electric device, do not use the electric device.

  • Do not connect more than two extension cords or multi-outlet. Also, when using the extension cable, ensure that the cable is not twisted. Heat from the overlapped cable may cause fire.

  • Do not hang home appliances on the wire.

  • Do not use if the sheath of home appliance cables is damaged or broken.

  • Fully insert the power plug when connecting it to the power.

  • Only use qualified power plug with ground connection that meets the standard. Do not use worn, corroded, or broken power plug or improper power plug that does not meet the standard.
