charge by the departure time.
Electrical rate information from the
utility company for the charging
location is required for this mode.
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.
Charge Limit Selection
The Charge Limit Preference setting
allows the customer to select their
vehicle
’
s charge level so it matches
the capability of their charging
location. If the vehicle consistently
stops charging after plugging in, or if
a circuit breaker continues to trip,
reducing to a lower Charge Limit
Preference may resolve the issue.
The Charge Limit Preference should
be configured to match the electrical
current rating for the electrical outlet
that the charge cord is connected
to. The Charge Limit Preference
settings are:
.
Maximum: Limits AC current to
12 amps
.
Reduced: Limits AC current to
8 amps
Exact current levels may vary from
the values shown in this manual.
Please check the vehicle for the
current available levels.
The Charge Limit Preference setting
can be changed at any time while
the center stack display is operable.
For some vehicles, the Charge Limit
Preference must be updated prior to
the vehicle being charged and the
Charge Limit Preference will reset to
a default value when the vehicle is
shifted from P (Park).
