bottom of the Energy Summary screen.
2. Review the selected Charge Mode and Charge Limit. Select the Charge Limit toggle button if an increased charging limit is desired. Use the 8-amp charge limit until a qualified electrician inspects your home’s electrical circuit capacity, or if the electrical circuit or outlet capacity is not known.
Note: The charge level selection returns to the 8-amp setting each time the vehicle is driven.

If the vehicle is locked with the RKE trans-mitter, the charge cord theft alert is armed
automatically after 30 seconds.

To temporarily override a delayed charge event, remove and reconnect the charge cord to the vehicle within 5 seconds. It will begin charging immediately.
