If equipped, you can use the car as a power source with the supplied external discharging device (220 V, 16 A). It powers ordinary household appliances – handy for camping, barbecues and cooking outdoors.
Before you start
- Don't discharge if the device connection is loose.
- Make sure the AC charging port is free of water and debris and its pins aren't rusty or corroded.
- Don't use the device if its case is cracked, the cable worn or the plug rusty.
- Make sure the appliance's plug matches the power strip.
Using it
- 1Park in a safe place, select P and apply the parking brake.
- 2On the New Energy screen turn External Discharge ON. Switch the car's power to any mode and disarm the car. Make sure there's enough battery charge and fuel.
- 3Push the centre rear edge of the charging port cover to open it.
- 4Remove the dust covers from the AC port and the discharging gun, then push the gun into the AC port until you hear a slight click.
- 5Press the switch on the power strip and wait for its red light to stay on. The car starts discharging and shows discharge information.
- 6When finished, unplug your appliances. With the car in READY, turn External Discharge OFF.
- 7Press and hold the top button on the discharging gun and pull it out of the port.

Good to know
- Total load of all connected appliances must not exceed 3.3 kW, or discharging stops.
- V2L isn't available while a DC charging gun is plugged in.
- With the car switched ON, the engine starts automatically to recharge the battery if it gets low. This is normal.
- If the car is off and appliances are connected but not drawing power for a long time, the car's standby drain rises. Unplug the gun when you're not using it.
- Use Forced power saving mode to hold battery charge in reserve for discharging.
- Afterwards, the radiator fan and air-con compressor may run to cool the battery. This is normal.
Warning:Never touch the metal pins of the charging port or power strip while discharging. Don't operate it with wet hands.
Warning:Don't put appliances in the boot, under the front of the car or near the tyres while discharging. Don't drive over, drop or stand on the device, and don't drag it by the cable.
Warning:Never use the device if it is damaged in any way – broken, worn cable, loose connection or exposed metal. If you notice a smell or smoke, stop immediately and contact an authorised Jaecoo service centre.
Warning:Children must not operate or touch the discharging device. Keep them away while discharging.
- Store the device somewhere cool and dry. Cover the gun head and socket when not in use.
- If the gun head is dirty or damp, switch off the power first, then wipe it with a clean, dry cloth.
- Before driving, make sure the device is unplugged and the charging port cover is closed.
- Don't modify or repair the device or ports, and discharge away from chemicals, flames, heat, lightning and flammable surroundings. Don't shake the gun or work on the car while discharging.
