In Brief
If the vehicle is in a crash, the
sensing system may shut down the
high voltage system. When this
occurs, the high voltage battery is
disconnected and the vehicle will
not start. The SERVICE VEHICLE
SOON message in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) will be
displayed. Before the vehicle can be
operated again, it must be serviced
at your dealer.
See
for
important safety information.
Only a trained service technician
with the proper knowledge and tools
should inspect, test, or replace the
high voltage battery. See your
dealer if the high voltage battery
needs service.

Charging
This section explains the process
for charging the 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 and
above 32°C to maximise high
voltage battery life.
When using a 230-volt AC electrical
outlet, it will take approximately six
hours to charge the vehicle with the
10 amp AC current setting or
11 hours using the default 6 amp
AC current setting. When using a
230-volt charging station with
16 amp AC current capability, it will
take approximately four hours to
charge the vehicle. Charge times
will vary with outside temperature.
There are three ways to program
how the vehicle is charged. See
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 in
P (Park) and turned off.
2. Push the rearward edge of the
charge port door in and release

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.
