General Information
The vehicle is also equipped with a Battery Management
System that is designed to:
•Ensure safe operation
• Maximize driving range
• Maximize the life expectancy of the high voltage battery
NOTE:
• During vehicle start up and shut down a clicking noise
may be heard from within the vehicle. When the ignition
is in the ON position, the high voltage battery contactors
inside the battery are closed to make the stored electric-
ity inside available for vehicle use. The clicking noise
heard is the sound of these contactors as they open and
close during normal operation.
• In extreme temperatures, high or low, the High Voltage
Battery may need to be conditioned and therefore may
require the vehicle to be plugged-in. When the vehicle is
not plugged-in, the following message, “Plug In Vehicle
for Battery Conditioning” might appear in the instru-
ment cluster display. When the High Voltage Battery is
not ready to crank the vehicle at start up, due to
conditions including extreme temperatures, the message
“Battery Conditioning Leave Ignition In Run” will be displayed in the instrument cluster display. Keep the
ignition in the ON/RUN position for the battery to
recover. Switch the ignition back to the OFF position
when the message disappears, and then start the vehicle.
When the “Battery Conditioning Leave Ignition in Run”
message is displayed on the instrument cluster display,
do not operate any air conditioning controls.
• Under cold or hot temperatures, while the vehicle is
plugged-in and the ignition is in the OFF position, the
vehicle may wake-up to pre-condition the high voltage
battery for usage.

•It is recommended that the vehicle be plugged-in over
night where possible to maximize the electric range of
the vehicle.
The message will only be displayed when the ignition is in
the RUN position, or if there was a failed attempt to
achieve PSA (Propulsion System Available) when the High
Voltage Battery cell temperatures are either too cold, or too
hot.HIGH VOLTAGE CHARGING OPERATION
SAE J1772 Charging Inlet
Your vehicle uses an industry standard SAE J1772 charge
inlet (vehicle charge inlet) for both AC Level 1 (120V) and
AC Level 2 (240V) charging.

Vehicle Charge Inlet
20 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

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 instructions at the
charging station.
NOTE:The vehicle should start charging automatically. If
not, please check the following:
• Charging Station – Check the indications and instruc-
tions at the charging station or
• Charging Schedule – Check whether the charging sched-
ule is enabled and if so, whether the vehicle is currently
within the scheduled charge time/day (weekday/
weekend). If the charging schedule is enabled within the
vehicle, you may override them for this charging event
by plugging in the charge connector, unplugging it, and
then plugging it back into the vehicle charge inlet.
Complete the double plug sequence within ten seconds
for it to override the set schedule.
To stop the charging process:
• Press the “STOP” button located on the front of the
EVSE station. •
Press the button on the charge connector first and then
remove the connector from the vehicle charge inlet.
• Plug the charge handle into the EVSE station and coil the
charging cord onto its holder. Do not leave the charging
cord laying on the ground.
Charging Times
The following factors determine the time it takes to charge
the high voltage battery:
• The high voltage battery’s current state of charge
• The type of EVSE used (Level 1 - 120V or Level 2 – 240V)
• Ambient temperature
• Whether the vehicle is ON during charging
NOTE:
• The charging times below are estimates based on charg-
ing a high voltage battery that has a 0% SOC value
displayed in the instrument cluster.
• Charging times will vary based on the age, condition,
state of charge, available current being provided to the
charger from its energy source, and temperature of the
high voltage battery.
32 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

•Charging times may be longer if a thermal self-protection
reduces the charging current from the EVSE.
• If the vehicle’s ignition is in either the ACC or RUN
position, the vehicle charge indicator may not indicate
greater than a 99% state of charge, and will continue to
charge the vehicle, due to the vehicle loads.
Type of EVSE Estimated Charge Time
Level 1 (120V/15A) Approximately 14 hours
Level 2 (240V/30A) Approximately 2 hours
Vehicle Charge Indicators
Instrument Cluster High Voltage Battery Display
There is a battery display indicator located on the instru-
ment cluster. The battery display will display the current
state of charge for the high voltage battery; with the
percentage value located to the left of the symbol. When
plugged in, the battery symbol also gives the battery level
along with messages about the charge or whether the
system is waiting to charge due to the charge schedule.
These will appear unless there is a charging fault. A red
plug telltale will be shown in the cluster, as well as
applicable messaging when charging. Instrument Panel State Of Charge Indicator
In addition to the battery display, 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
top center of the instrument panel, which will illuminate
when the vehicle is plugged into the EVSE.High Voltage Battery Display
