In rain
- Protect the charging equipment from water getting in.
- Don't charge outdoors in extreme weather such as very heavy rain, storms or hail – it may not work and can damage the car or charger. In stormy weather, charge somewhere sheltered if possible.
- After rain, check the charging port for water first. Don't charge if there's obvious water in it.
Cold and heat
- If the port cover or gun is frozen, don't force it open or pull the gun out.
- In very cold areas, charge in a heated garage if possible, or straight after driving while the battery is warm.
- In hot weather, charge somewhere cool and ventilated, not in direct sunlight.
Safety rules
- Only use approved charging equipment for electric vehicles that meets the relevant standards.
- Before driving, make sure the charger is unplugged and the charging port cover is closed.
- Don't modify, remove or repair the charging device or ports – it can cause faults and fire.
- Charge away from hazardous chemicals, flames, heat sources, lightning and flammable or explosive surroundings.
- Don't shake the gun while charging, and don't carry out repairs on the car while it is charging.
- After charging, the radiator fan and air-con compressor may run to cool the battery. This is normal.
Warning:Never handle charging equipment with wet hands or touch exposed metal on the charging port or charger – risk of electric shock and injury.
Warning:Children must not charge the car or touch the charging equipment. Keep them away during charging – the gun is a high-voltage device.
Warning:If you notice anything unusual while charging, such as a smell or smoke, stop charging immediately and contact an authorised Jaecoo service centre.
Warning:If anyone in the car uses an implanted medical device (such as a cardiac defibrillator or pacemaker), check with the device manufacturer that charging won't affect it.
