This area of the screen shows your scheduled Go Time and
your cabin conditioning information.
My GO Times
A
This is the time and date of your next set drive time. Your
vehicle automatically schedules charging and cabin condi-
tioning to finish by this time.
Next GO Time

Conflict Notification
The system alerts you to any conflicts by

If your battery cannot have a full charge by the scheduled drive time, the system
highlights your next GO Time and Charge Complete time and the following
message appears: Action and Description

To eliminate the conflict notification
immediately or to prevent a conflict in the
future, try the following:
•
Switch the present GO Time to occur
later. •
Plug the vehicle into a 240V high
current charging station instead of
using the 120V low current convenience
cord. Higher power charging yields
shorter charge times.
• Plug the vehicle in sooner.

Menu Item
Item
This is the status of the charging system, which includes
the charging plug, high-voltage battery and charger.
Charge Status
A
This means the vehicle is
unplugged. Charge Start and
Complete information is for the
present vehicle location.
Next Charge
This means you plugged the
vehicle in and it is ready to
charge. Typical of Value Charge
mode, the vehicle may not start
charging right away because it
is set to charge at times with
lower utility costs.
Waiting to charge
This means the high-voltage
battery is charging.
Charging
This informs you that the high-
voltage battery is fully charged
and not currently scheduled for
further charging.
Charged
This alerts you that a fault is
present and is preventing the
high-voltage battery from
charging. Check the charge
plug connection, charge cord,
and charging station.
Fault
This is the estimated time of charge completion.

When the vehicle is in Charge
Now mode, and unplugged, the
system displays the charging
duration in hours. Once you
plug in the vehicle, the value
shows the estimated time to
finish charging.

Estimated Charge Time Limits
Action and Description
Menu Item
Item
This shows you the battery's current charge displayed
as a percentage. A reading of 100% means the battery
has a full charge. A reading of 0% indicates the battery
has no plug-in energy left.
Battery
A
240V / High Power is the estimated minimum charging
time from the present high-voltage battery level to full
charge (100%). This represents the shortest amount of
time you should expect the high-voltage battery to
recharge under ideal conditions. Ideal conditions include
a 240V charging station and a minimum 30A service and
high-voltage battery at a moderate temperature.

Item
Note: Some charging stations use lower voltage (208V),
which result in longer charge times.
120V / Low Power is the estimated maximum charging
time from the present high-voltage battery level to full
charge (100%). This represents the longest amount of
time you should expect the high-voltage battery to
recharge under normal conditions. Normal conditions
include a 120V convenience cord and 12A service.
Note: Charging may take longer when the AC line voltage
is low and may indicate your electrical source is not
meeting certain requirements. See Charging the High
Voltage Battery (page 153).
Note: These charging times are only estimates. It is normal for your actual charge duration
to be longer.
GO Time Schedule
You can access the GO Time Schedule by
selecting the edit option under MY GO
Time on the Charge Setting screen. Action and Description
Menu Item
This turns on the GO Time schedule.
On
This turns off the GO Time schedule. This also turns off the cabin

Note:
If you choose to perform Value Charging with the schedule
off, the vehicle schedules charging to finish at the lowest cost
within 24 hours of plugging the vehicle in.
This displays the GO Time day-of-week and time. The blue high-
lighted GO Time is the present GO Time, which the vehicle is using
for charge scheduling and cabin conditioning. You can schedule
