Start Charging
The provided 120-volt portable charge cord is located under the storage floor in the cargo area and can be used to charge the vehicle when a 240V charging station is not available.
1. With the vehicle parked, turn off the vehicle and select the Charging button at the
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.
3. Plug the charge cord into an electrical
outlet. DO NOT PLUG INTO AN EXTENSION CORD. Charge cord indicators should be green. Where possible, secure the charge cord to the wall.
4. Press and release the rear edge of the charge port door, located just in front of the driver’s door, to open it. Plug the charge cord into the charge port.
5. The Charge Status indicator on top of the instrument panel will illuminate green and a tone will sound when properly connected.
6. Periodically check the electrical outlet/plug while charging. Discontinue use if the electrical outlet/plug is hot and have the electrical outlet serviced by a qualified electrician.
If the vehicle is locked with the RKE trans-mitter, the charge cord theft alert is armed
automatically after 30 seconds.
Note: When the theft alert is armed, the alarm will sound when the plug is disconnected from the vehicle. To change charge cord theft alert options, go to Energy in the Vehicle Settings menu.
To temporarily override a delayed charge event, remove and reconnect the charge cord to the vehicle within 5 seconds. It will begin charging immediately.
