{Warning
Do not charge your vehicle’s
battery above an 80%
charge if you are going to
drive down long, steep
grades such as mountain
passes. This provides room
in the battery for
regenerative braking to
supplement your
conventional brakes during
the descent. This is
especially important when
towing a trailer, which puts
additional stress on your
vehicle’s braking system.
See Hill and Mountain Roads
0200 for important
information about driving on
grades.
The default charge level is
100% when plugged in. To set
a different charge level, drag
the circular marker on the
Target Charge Level Gauge to
the preferred value. To lower
the desired Charge Level, drag the Charge Level marker
counterclockwise, and to
increase it drag the marker
clockwise. The Charge Level
can also be changed by
tapping
«andªinside the
gauge on the screen. The
multifunction controller (MCF)
on the center console can also
be used to set the Charge
Level by rotating clockwise or
counterclockwise when the
Target Charge Level Gauge is
highlighted. The Range
estimate updates once the
desired Charge Level is set.
To optimize battery health, the
minimum allowable Charge
Level is determined by the
vehicle. Charge Later
Instead of charging
immediately to a desired
Charge Level, you may choose
to delay the charge to the
vehicle and have it complete
by your desired departure
time. This may be a more
economical choice and a more
efficient use of energy when
charging at home. To use this
mode, touch the Charge Later
tab from the Charging screen.
With Charge Later selected,
the Charging screen displays:
.Text explaining that your
vehicle will delay the planned
charge to be ready by the

displays an estimate of the
vehicle's range upon
completing the charging
session.
.Cabin Pre-Conditioning:
Allows the vehicle to heat or
cool the cabin to your
desired temperature using
energy from the charger.
This means energy from the
battery is not used to
condition the cabin, ensuring
the vehicle gets the greatest

current Charge Level as
a percentage and a colored
section of the circular gauge
to represent this value.
To update the desired Charge
Level for the active charging
session, drag the marker on
the Target Charge Level
Gauge.
Touching the Stop Charge
button at any time ends the
active charging session and
presents a summary of the
current vehicle Range, Charge
Level, and amount of Range
Gained during the charging session. For information on
beginning a charging session,
see Plug-In Charging
0285.
For Level 1 chargers, you can
also select the appropriate
Charge Cord Limit of either
8 amps or 12 amps. This
determines how much current
can flow from an electrical
outlet to the vehicle battery.
It also ensures proper charge
time estimates.
When the Charge Cord Limit is
changed from 8 amps to
12 amps on a 120V circuit a
notification is displayed.
If no Home Charge Location is
set, the Level 1 Cord Limit will
revert to 8 amps every time
the vehicle is shifted out
of (P) Park.
Range and charge time
estimates fluctuate depending
on a number of factors such
as Charge Cord Level/Limit,
battery temperature, and
outside air temperature. To learn more about the vehicle
battery see Plug-In Charging
