■ Close

To close the charging port lid, first position it slightly open, then press the rear edge firmly until it securely locks into place.

*2: The indicator flashes for a certain period and then turns off automatically.

Understanding these indicators helps Subaru Solterra drivers better monitor charging progress and ensure the vehicle is ready for efficient and reliable operation.
