You can use your keyfob to view the vehicles charge status at any
time by pressing the unlock button. The light ring will light up the
corresponding quadrant(s) so that the current state of charge can be
determined. If the charge is below 25 percent the light ring will not
illuminate. Don’t forget to press the lock button on your keyfob to
re-lock the vehicle.
The light ring will also display the current state of charge when opening
the doors.
Charging
Note:
The vehicle must be in
P
(Park) to charge the high-voltage
battery.
To charge your high-voltage battery:
1. Put the vehicle in
P
(Park) and
power down the vehicle.
2. With your thumb, press the indentation located on the charge port
door and the door will rotate open.
3. Plug the charging coupler into the vehicles charge port receptacle and
make sure the button “clicks” confirming that it is completely engaged.
4. Verify that the cord acknowledgement feature activates. This indicates
the beginning of a normal charge cycle.
5. If using a 240 volt charging station, follow the instructions on the
charge station to begin the charging process.
When charging, the light ring will display how far along the charge is:
•
When the top right quadrant is pulsing the charge is between
0–25 percent.
•
When the top right quadrant is solidly lit and the bottom right
quadrant is pulsing the charge is between 25–50 percent.
•
When both right side quadrants are solidly lit and the bottom left
quadrant is pulsing the charge is between 50–75 percent.
•
When three quadrants are solidly lit and the top left quadrant is
pulsing the charge is between 75–100 percent.
•
When the entire ring is solidly lit, the charge is complete.
Note:
The illuminated ring will shut off one minute after reaching a full
charge.
