Vehicle Care
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.
{
Caution
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.
The dealer has information on how
to recycle the high voltage battery.
There is also information available
at http://www.recyclemybattery.com.
Keep the vehicle plugged in, even
when fully charged, to keep the high
voltage battery temperature ready
for the next drive. This is important
when outside temperatures are
extremely hot or cold.
Refer to the replacement number
shown on the original battery label
when a new 12-volt battery is
needed. The vehicle has an
Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) 12-volt
battery. Installation of a standard
12-volt battery will result in reduced
12-volt battery life.
When using a 12-volt battery
charger on the 12-volt AGM battery,
some chargers have an AGM
battery setting on the charger.
If available, use the AGM setting on
the charger, to limit charge voltage
to 14.8 volts.

Warning
Battery posts, terminals, and
related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds, chemicals
known to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands
