Warning (Continued)

lowest charge level if the
electrical circuit or electrical outlet
capacity is not known.

Electric Rate Preference

The vehicle estimates the charging
start time based on the utility rate
schedule, utility rate preference, and
programmed departure time for the
current day of the week. The vehicle
will charge during the least
expensive rate periods to achieve a
full battery charge by the departure
time. Electrical rate information from
the utility company for the charging
location is required for this mode.
If the selected charge mode is
Departure, then electric rate
preference selection will display.

Electric Rate Preference Selection

From the Charge Mode tab on the
Charging screen with Departure
charge mode selected, touch More
to select the Electric Rate
Preference.

Touch one of the following options
to select the Electric Rate
Preference:

.

Off: Delay charging based on
departure.

.

Off-Peak Only: Charge during
Off-Peak Rates.

.

Cost Optimized Off- and
Mid-Peak: Charge during
Mid-Peak and Off-Peak Rates.

.

Cost Optimized All Rates:
Charge during Peak, Mid-Peak,
and Off-Peak Rates.

Charging begins at the start time
and is complete by the departure
time only if sufficient time is allowed
after the charge cord is plugged in.
For example, if the vehicle is
plugged in for only one hour prior to

the departure time, and the battery
is completely discharged, the
vehicle will not be fully charged by
the departure time regardless of the
rate selection.

Also, if the selected electric rate
settings result in a very long charge
completion time, the vehicle will
start charging immediately upon
plug-in. For example, if the electric
rate table is set up with all Peak
rates and the rate preference is to
charge during Off-Peak rates only,
then the vehicle will start charging
immediately upon plug-in.

Electric Rate Schedule

From the Charge Mode tab on the
Charging screen, with Departure
charge mode and an Electric Rate
Preference selected, touch Edit next
to Electric Rate Preference.
