Warning Use caution as the Portable EVSE Cordset AC Power Plug
may be hot. It is recommended to carefully unplug the unit from the wall outlet and allow it to cool down. Attempt to
charge the vehicle at a different wall outlet. Contact a certi- fied electrician to inspect/replace the wall outlet that was
associated with the Hot AC Plug event. Charging will still occur, but at a reduced rate.

Guidelines for preventing fire and electric shock:
•Ensure the charging cable is positioned so it will not
be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
• There are no user serviceable parts inside.
• Do not use the charging cordset if it is visibly
damaged. Contact your authorized dealer for service.
• Do not place fingers, or any other objects inside the
charge connector.
• Do not allow children to operate this device. Adult
supervision is mandatory when children are in prox-
imity when the charging cordset is in use.
NOTE: During normal operation, the charge connector
or AC plug may feel warm. If either one feels hot during
charging, unplug the charging cordset and have a
qualified electrician inspect the wall receptacle before
you continue charging.
WARNING!
Do not use the charging cordset with a receptacle
that is worn or damaged. Using the charging cordset

WARNING! (Continued)
with a worn or damaged receptacle may cause burns
or start a fire.
Vehicle Charge Indicators
Instrument Cluster High Voltage Battery Gauge
There is a battery gauge indicator located on the instru-
ment cluster. The battery gauge will display, with
progressive color indication, the current state of charge
for the high voltage battery; with the percentage value
located at the bottom of the gauge.
High Voltage Battery Gauge

Page 28 of 300

Instrument Panel State Of Charge Indicator
In addition to the battery gauge 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 center of the instrument panel.
The state of charge indicator represents the current state
of charge for the high voltage battery. The state of
charge indicator lights quickly to identify the battery
state of charge while the vehicle is being charged. Each
light represents the battery’s current percentage of
charge.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%
AC Level 2 Charging (240V, 30 Amp)
AC Level 2 (240V) charging requires a 240V, Level 2
EVSE (Charging station). A 30A Level 2 EVSE for home
installation is recommended.
When using public charging stations, ensure the charg-
ing station is ready to provide charge and the vehicle is
in 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 instruc-
tions at the charging station.
State Of Charge Indicator
26 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
Page 29 of 300

NOTE:The vehicle should start charging automati-
cally. If not, please check the following:
• Charging Station – Check the indications and instruc-
tions at the charging station.
• Charging Schedule – Check whether the charging
schedule is enabled and if so, whether the vehicle is
currently within the scheduled charge time/date. If
the charging schedule is enabled, 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 10 seconds for it to
override the set schedule.
To stop the charging process, disconnect the charge
connector from the vehicle inlet.
Charge Times
The following factors determine the time it takes to
charge the high voltage battery:
• The high voltage battery’s current state of charge
• What level EVSE is being used (Level 1 – 120V or
Level 2 – 240V)
• Ambient temperature •
Whether the vehicle is on during charging
NOTE:
• The charging times are estimates based on a com-
pletely discharged high voltage battery.
• Charging times will vary based on the age, condition,
state of charge and temperature of the high voltage
battery.
• Charging times may be longer if a thermal self-
protection reduces the charging current from the
EVSE.
Type of Charge Estimated Charge Time
Level 1 (120V/15A) Approximately 23 hours
Level 2 (240V/30A) Approximately 4 hours

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Indicator Light
The “ESC Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on when the ignition switch
is turned to the AVV/START position. If the “ESC Indicator Light” comes on continuously
with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this light
remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles (kilo-
meters) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as
possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
•
The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC Indicator Light” come on momentarily
each time the ignition switch is turned to AVV/START.
