Service Electric Parking
Brake Light
If this light comes on and stays on,
there is a problem with a system on
the vehicle that is causing the
parking brake system to work at a
reduced level. The vehicle can still
be driven, but should be taken to a
dealer as soon as possible. See
Electric Parking Brake 0188. If a
message displays in the Driver
Information Center (DIC), see Brake
System Messages 0133.
Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light
This light should come on briefly
when the vehicle is in ON/RUN. If it
does not come on, have the vehicle
serviced by your dealer.
If the ABS warning light stays on
longer than a few seconds after the
vehicle is in ON/RUN, or comes on
and stays on while driving, try
resetting the system. To reset the
system:
1. While driving, pull over when it is safe to do so.
2. Place the vehicle in P (Park).
3. Turn the vehicle off.
4. Restart the vehicle.
If the ABS warning light remains on
after resetting the system or comes
on again while driving, the vehicle needs service. If the ABS warning
light is on, but the regular brake
system warning light is not on, the
antilock brakes are not working
properly, but the regular brakes are
still functioning. Have the vehicle
serviced right away. If both brake
lights are on, the vehicle does not
have antilock brakes, and there is a
problem with the regular brakes as
well. Have the vehicle towed for
service. See
Towing the
Vehicle 0311.

Tire Pressure Light
For vehicles with the Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS), this light
comes on briefly when the vehicle is
in ON/RUN. It provides information
about tire pressures and the TPMS.
When the Light is On Steady
This indicates that one or more of
the tires are significantly
underinflated. A message in the Driver Information

0140. Stop as soon
as possible, and inflate the tires to
the pressure value shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label.
See Tires 0271.
When the Light Flashes First and
Then Is On Steady
This indicates that there may be a
problem with the TPMS. The light
flashes for about one minute and
stays on steady until the vehicle is
in OFF. This sequence repeats each
time the vehicle is in ON/RUN. See

follow the maintenance schedule
for changing engine oil.
The oil pressure light should come
on briefly as the vehicle is started.
If it does not come on have the
vehicle serviced by your dealer.
If the light comes on and stays on, it

Danger (Continued)
.Do not use extension cords,
multi-outlet power strips,
splitters, grounding
adaptors, surge protectors,
or similar devices.
. Do not use an electrical
outlet that is worn or
damaged, or will not hold
the plug firmly in place.
. Do not use an electrical
outlet that is not properly
grounded.
. Do not use an electrical
outlet that is on a circuit with
other electrical loads.
Programmable Charge Modes
This vehicle has three
programmable charge modes. To
view the current charge mode status
in the center stack display, touch
Energy in the infotainment display
and then touch Charging at the
bottom of the touch screen. The Charge Start and Charge
Complete time estimates are also
displayed on the screen. These
estimates are most accurate when
the vehicle is plugged in and in
moderate temperature conditions.
Charge Mode Status
Immediately :
The vehicle starts
charging as soon as it is connected
to an electrical outlet. See Plug-In
Charging 0215.
Delayed Based on Departure
Time : The vehicle estimates the
charging start time considering the
programmed departure time for the
current day of the week. Charging
begins at the start time and is
complete by the departure time only
if sufficient time is allowed after the
charge cord is plugged in.

9807421) - 2017 - CRC - 11/18/15
Instruments and Controls 121
Delayed (Electric Rate and
Departure Time) :The vehicle
estimates the charging start time
based on the utility rate schedule,
utility rate preference, and the
programmed departure time for the
current day of the week. The vehicle
will charge during the least
expensive rate periods to achieve a
full battery 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 Preference 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.
Check the vehicle for the current
available levels. The Charge Limit Preference setting
resets to the Reduced 8 amp setting
each time the vehicle is driven.
Location Based Charging can be
enabled to maintain Maximum
12 amp setting at a specified Home
location. See
“Location Based
Charging” later in this section.
The Charge Limit Preference setting
can be changed at any time while
the center stack display is operable.
{Warning
Using a charge level that exceeds
the electrical circuit or electrical
outlet capacity may start a fire or
damage the electrical circuit. Use
the lowest charge level until a
qualified electrician inspects the
electrical circuit capacity. Use the
lowest charge level if the
electrical circuit or electrical outlet
capacity is not known.
