Driving and Operating
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The system may not detect lanes as
well when there are:
.
Close vehicles ahead.
.
Sudden lighting changes, such
as when driving through tunnels.
.
Banked roads.
If the LDW system is not functioning
properly when lane markings are
clearly visible, cleaning the
windshield may help.
LDW alerts may occur due to tar
marks, shadows, cracks in the road,
temporary or construction lane
markings, or other road
imperfections. This is normal system
operation; the vehicle does not need
service. Turn LDW off if these
conditions continue.
Charging
Plug-In Charging
This section explains the process
for charging the vehicle's high
voltage battery. Do not allow the
vehicle to remain in temperature
extremes for long periods without
being driven or plugged in. It is
recommended that the vehicle be
plugged in when temperatures are
below 0 °C (32 °F) and above 32 °C
(90 °F) to maximize high voltage
battery life.
When using a 120-volt AC electrical
outlet, it will take approximately
12.5 hours to charge the vehicle
with the 12 amp AC current setting
or 18 hours using the default 8 amp
AC current setting. When using a
240-volt charging station, it will take
approximately five hours to charge
the vehicle. Charge times will vary
with outside temperature. At cold
temperatures, a higher power
charge station is recommended to
avoid extended charge times.
There are three ways to program
how the vehicle is charged. See
Programmable Charging

.
The charging system may run fans
and pumps that result in sounds
from the vehicle while it is turned
off. Additional unexpected clicking
sounds may be caused by the
electrical devices used while
charging.
While the charge cord is plugged
into the vehicle, the vehicle cannot
be driven.
Charging
Start Charge
1. Make sure the vehicle is
parked and turned off.
2. Push the rearward edge of the
charge port door in and release
to open the door.
In cold weather conditions, ice
may form around the charge
port door. Remove ice from the
area before attempting to open
or close the charge port door.
