2. Check to see if the charging cordset is ready tocharge by reviewing the indicator lights. After a brief
self-check, where the indicator light will flash, a
green AC indicator light and two green charge rate
indicator lights indicate that the cordset is ready for
use. 3. If the charging cordset is ready to charge, ensure the
vehicle is in PARK, and then connect the charge
connector to the vehicle’s charge inlet. You will hear
a “click” when the charge connector is inserted
correctly and coupled with the vehicle’s charge inlet.
4. When the vehicle commences charging, the Charge Rate Indicator Lights will cycle from left to right, and
then both turn off. This pattern will repeat while the
vehicle is charging. The lights are illuminated at the
rate of approximately one cycle per second.

Troubleshooting Using The Status Indicator
Display
If the vehicle is not charging properly, consult the status
indicator lights.
TheAC Power Indicator displays the status and safety
of the input power. If this indicator is green, the power
is within acceptable limits to charge the vehicle. If only
the AC Power Indicator is flashing red, then there is a
problem with the AC power at the electrical outlet. If
the AC Power Indicator does not return to green, then
the outlet should be inspected by a licensed electrician
to ensure the voltage, frequency, and grounding are
complaint to national and local electrical codes and
ordinances. It may be possible to attempt charging from
a different outlet.
The Fault Indicator displays the status of the Portable
EVSE Cordset and the vehicle connection. The Portable
EVSE Cordset will not allow charging while the fault
indicator is red. If it is off, the Portable EVSE Cordset
has not detected any internal faults, or faults with the
vehicle connection. If the Fault Indicator is flashing red,
there is a fault detected either with the Portable EVSE
Cordset, electronics, or with the vehicle connection. The
Portable EVSE Cordset may attempt to retry to provide
current to the vehicle if the fault is cleared. If the Fault Indicator does not attempt to provide charge to the
vehicle, the charge connector will need to be removed
from the vehicle to clear the fault.
The fault code list in the table below provides a
reference for the important faults that are detected by
the Portable EVSE Cordset. When a fault is detected, the
AC Power Indicator, the Fault Indicator, or both the AC
Power and Fault Indicators will flash red. If only the AC
Power Indicator is red, there is a problem on the AC
Power side of the unit. If only the Fault Indicator is
flashing red, there is a problem internal to the unit or
with the vehicle. If both the AC Power and Fault
Indicators are flashing red, an over temperature condi-
tion is detected at either the AC plug or within the
enclosure. Additional information about the faults is
provided by a fault code that is displayed on the two
green Charge Rate Indicators. The fault code consists of
four digits, each with a value of 1 or 2. The value of a
digit is the number of indicators illuminated for that
part of the sequence. For example, fault code (1, 2, 1, 1)
will display the following sequence: One indicator will
illuminate for (0.3 seconds), then two indicators will
illuminate, then one indicator, and finally one indicator
will illuminate. After all four fault code digits have been
displayed, the indicators will remain off for one second
before repeating the sequence.

Instrument Panel State Of Charge Indicator
In addition to the battery gauge your vehicle is
equipped with a visual state of charge indicator. The
state of charge indicator is made up of five lights that
are mounted to the center of the instrument panel.
The state of charge indicator represents the current state
of charge for the high voltage battery. The state of
charge indicator lights quickly to identify the battery
state of charge while the vehicle is being charged. Each
light represents the battery’s current percentage of
charge.NOTE:
In the event of an error in the charging process
the outer two lights will blink.
Number Of Indicator Lights Illuminated Percent Of Battery
Charge
1 Light 0 – 20%
2 Lights 21 – 40%
3 Lights 41 – 60%
4 Lights 61 – 80%
5 Lights 81 – 100%
AC Level 2 Charging (240V, 30 Amp)
AC Level 2 (240V) charging requires a 240V, Level 2
EVSE (Charging station). A 30A Level 2 EVSE for home
installation is recommended.
When using public charging stations, ensure the charg-
ing station is ready to provide charge and the vehicle is
in PARK before the charge connector is plugged into the
vehicle’s charge inlet. You will hear a “click” when the
charge connector is inserted correctly and is coupled
with the vehicle’s charge inlet. The vehicle should start
charging automatically. If not, please check the instruc-
tions at the charging station.

NOTE:Changes or modifications not expressly ap-
proved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user ’s authority to operate the equipment.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The vehicle security alarm monitors the vehicle doors
for unauthorized entry and the ignition for unauthor-
ized operation. If something triggers the alarm, the
vehicle security alarm will provide the following au-
dible and visible signals: the horn will pulse, the park
lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the vehicle
security light in the instrument cluster will flash.
To Arm The System
Push the key fob lock button.
To Disarm The System
Push the key fob unlock button or cycle the ignition to
the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position. The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the
vehicle security alarm will give you a false alarm. If one
of the previously described arming sequences has oc-
curred, the vehicle security alarm will arm regardless of
whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in
the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the vehicle security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the vehicle security alarm will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The
exterior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the vehicle security alarm.

On the other hand, depending on the type and location
of impact, front air bags may deploy in crashes with
little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a
severe initial deceleration.
Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration
over time, vehicle speed and damage by themselves are
not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should
have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all
collisions, and also are needed to help keep you in
position, away from an inflating air bag.
When the ORC detects a collision requiring the front air
bags, it signals the inflator units. A large quantity of
non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the front air bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and the upper right
side of the instrument panel separate and fold out of the
way as the air bags inflate to their full size. The front air
bags fully inflate in less time than it takes to blink your
eyes. The front air bags then quickly deflate while
helping to restrain the driver and front passenger.Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the
driver and front passenger, and position the front
occupants for improved interaction with the front air
bags.
WARNING!
•Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee impact
bolsters in any way.
• Do not mount any accessories to the knee impact
bolsters such as alarm lights, stereos, citizen band
radios, etc.
Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver
Knee Air Bag mounted in the instrument panel below
the steering column. The Supplemental Driver Knee Air
Bag provides enhanced protection during a frontal
impact by working together with the seat belts, preten-
sioners, and front air bags.

Enhanced Accident Response System Reset
Procedure
After an event occurs requiring activation of the En-
hanced Accident Response System, when the system is
active, a “Service Electrical System” message will be
displayed on the instrument cluster. The vehicle is not
drivable in this state and must be towed to an autho-
rized dealer immediately to be inspected and have the
Enhanced Accident Response System reset.
Maintaining Your Air Bag System
WARNING!
•Modifications to any part of the air bag system
could cause it to fail when you need it. You could

WARNING! (Continued)
be injured if the air bag system is not there to
protect you. Do not modify the components or
wiring, including adding any kind of badges or
stickers to the steering wheel hub trim cover or
the upper right side of the instrument panel. Do
not modify the front bumper, vehicle body struc-
ture, or add aftermarket side steps or running
boards.
• It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the air
bag system yourself. Be sure to tell anyone who
works on your vehicle that it has an air bag
system.
• Do not attempt to modify any part of your air bag
system. The air bag may inflate accidentally or
may not function properly if modifications are
made. Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer
for any air bag system service. If your seat,
including your trim cover and cushion, needs to
be serviced in any way (including removal or
loosening/tightening of seat attachment bolts),
take the vehicle to your authorized dealer. Only
manufacturer approved seat accessories may be
