ELECTRIC VEHICLE FEATURES
Auto Park
•The Auto Park feature automatically places the vehicle into PARK if there is any indica-
tion that the driver may leave the vehicle while the drive mode indicator is in the
D (DRIVE), N (NEUTRAL) or R (REVERSE) modes.
•Auto Park is enabled under the following conditions:
•READY mode (12 Volt ON and High Voltage ON).
•Vehicle speed is below 2 mph (3 km/h).
NOTE:
•Auto Park feature only occurs once per key cycle.
•Auto Park is disabled above 2 mph (3 km/h) and the drive mode range will be
maintained.
•The instrument cluster will display an Auto Shift To Park message and chime once
when Auto Park action occurs.
Mode Of Operation With Key ON
•Auto Park will be engaged when the drive mode is in DRIVE, NEUTRAL or REVERSE
and the following conditions are detected:
•Seat Belt is unlatched
•Brake pedal is released
•Driver's door is ajar
Mode Of Operation With Key OFF
•Auto Park will engage as you turn off the key while in gear/neutral and speed is less
than 2 mph (3 km/h).
Audible Pedestrian Warning System
•Your vehicle is equipped with an Audible Pedestrian Warning System.The Audible
Pedestrian Warning System uses distinct sounds to alert pedestrians that your vehicle is
approaching.
•The audible warning system uses an in-car sound synthesizer with a speaker located in

ELECTRIC SYSTEM OPERATION
Level 1 Charging (120V — Requires NEMA 5–15 Outlet)
•Level 1 charging is done by using a conventional 120 Volt AC (Alternating Current)
grounded receptacle along with the NEMA 5–15 Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment
(EVSE) that comes standard with your vehicle.Refer to “Vehicle Charging Cord” for
further information.
Level 2 Charging (240V — Requires A 40 Amp Circuit Breaker Or Greater)
•Level 2 charging is accomplished by using
a 240V permanently mounted EVSE and
is the preferred method for charging
your vehicle.
•A Level 2 charging station can be in-
stalled at your residence.
•The Level 2 unit and installation service
is available for purchase at your autho-
rized dealer.
Charge Times
Type Of Charge Approximate Time
Level 1 (120V/15A)Approximately 23 hours to fully recharge
* 3 hours will restore 10 miles of range *
Level 2 (240V/30A)Approximately 4 hours to fully recharge
* 30 minutes will restore 10 miles of range *
The following factors determine how long a battery recharge will take:
•The battery’s current state of charge (percent depleted)
•What recharging device is being used (Level 1 or Level 2)
•Ambient temperatures
NOTE:
•
Charging times are estimates based on a completely discharged high voltage battery pack.
•Charging times will vary based on the age, condition state of charge and temperature
of the high voltage battery pack.

EVSE Operation And Status Information
Indicator Description
1 — AC Indicator LEDGreen indicates READY
RED Indicates a fault
2 — Fault Indicator LEDGreen indicates READY
RED indicates a fault
3 — Charge Level Indicator LED'sAll ON indicates system ready and not
charging
LED's turning on and off in sequence
indicates vehicle charging
•When the EVSE is first plugged in it will go through an initialization and self test.
For the first three seconds after plugging in your EVSE all the LED's will remain off.
•After approximately three seconds the EVSE performs an internal self test and Ground
Continuity Test.This process takes approximately six seconds.
•During the internal self test the unit turns on one Charge Level Indicator LED every
1.5 seconds until all the Charge Level Indicator LED's are illuminated.

•The EVSE LED's will be used to indicate the vehicle's connection status if no faults are
found during the self test.

illuminate all LED's green.
•Once the vehicle begins charging the EVSE Charge level LED's will illuminate in order
from left to right, then shut off.This pattern will repeat as long as the EVSE remains
connected to AC power and the battery is charging.
•The LED's are illuminated and turn off at the rate of one change per second.

CAUTION!
Do not bend or damage the Level 1 EVSE terminals as this could cause the EVSE to
become inoperative and/or illuminate the fault LED.

CHARGING THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
1.Put the vehicle in PARK.
2.Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
3.Remove the Level 1 EVSE from its storage bin by lifting the rear cargo cover.
4.Uncoil the entire length of the EVSE
(charge cord).
5.Plug the EVSE into a standard 120V AC
outlet that is properly grounded.It is
recommended that the EVSE is con-
nected to an AC outlet on a circuit
which is not electrically loaded by other
devices.Extension cords may not be
used.
NOTE:
All of the EVSE LED’s illuminate green.
6.Open the charge receptacle door.
NOTE:
The charge receptacle door is locked
whenever the vehicle is locked.Unlock the
doors to unlock the charge receptacle door
for charging.

7.Plug the EVSE into the charge receptacle.Push the EVSE in firmly until it is completely
engaged (if not completely engaged the vehicle may not charge).
NOTE:
•The vehicle will initiate the charging
cycle automatically when all the condi-
tions are satisfied.
•The vehicle battery gauge will show
the pattern for charging.
•Do not use an extension cord with
the EVSE.
•To remove the EVSE push the button
on the connector and pull firmly to
remove it from the vehicle’s charge
receptacle.
8.Close the charge receptacle door.
NOTE:
•In the event of an error in the charging
process the AC power to the vehicle will
stop and a red indicator will illuminate
on the EVSE.
•Keep the door for the charge receptacle
closed when not in use.

Instrument Panel State Of Charge Indicator
•In addition to the instrument cluster the vehicle is also equipped with a State Of
Charge indicator.The indicator is made up of five lights that are mounted to the
center of the instrument panel.
•The State Of Charge indicator repre-
sents the current state of charge for the
high voltage battery.The indicator lights
quickly identify the battery state of
charge while the vehicle is being
charged.Each light represents an incre-
mental 20% level of charge.Solid and
blinking lights indicate charge status simi-
lar to a mobile device.
NOTE:
In the event of an error in the charging
process the outer two lights will blink.
Number Of Indicator Lights Illuminated Percent Of Battery Charge
1 Light 0 – 20%
2 Lights 21 – 40%
3 Lights 41 – 60%
4 Lights 61 – 80%
5 Lights 81 – 100%
