HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY
WARNING:This battery pack should only be serviced by an
authorized electric vehicle technician. Improper handling can
result in personal injury or death.
Your vehicle consists of various high-voltage components and wiring. All
of the high-voltage power flows through specific wiring assemblies which
are labeled as such and/or are covered with a solid orange convolute or
orange striped tape. Do not come in contact with these components.
No regular maintenance, other than regular charging is required.
The high-voltage battery system is a high-voltage, lightweight lithium-ion
battery system comprised of two individual packs. One pack is located in
the rear cargo area behind the second row seats, and the other is located
underneath the vehicle. The high-voltage battery system uses an advanced,
active liquid heating and cooling system to regulate high-voltage battery
temperature and help maximize high-voltage battery life.
Note:The lithium-ion, high-voltage battery will experience gradual
capacity loss with time and use, which is considered normal wear and tear.
CHARGING THE HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY
WARNING:Do not use the 120 volt convenience cord with an
extension cord or adapter.
WARNING:In Canada, do not use the 120 volt convenience cord
in commercial garages.
WARNING:This equipment has arcing or sparking parts that
should not be exposed to flammable vapors. This equipment
should be located at least 18 inches (80 mm) above the floor.

anti-lock brake systems, do not locate amateur radio antennas in the
area of the driver side hood.

To improve the charging experience, your vehicle has the following
convenience features:
•Value Charge:Your vehicle schedules its charging time for when the
utility rates are lowest. Contact your utility company to see what
rates are available.
•Charge Now:Your vehicle starts charging immediately after you
connect the charging plug.
•My GO Time:
Setting GO Times allows you to control charging
schedules and cabin conditioning settings so your vehicle is ready to
drive when you are. By setting a GO Time, your vehicle can use your
value charge settings to minimize your electricity cost but still prioritize
getting a full charge before your GO Time. A calendar view allows you
to program two GO Times per day for each day of the week.
Note:Remember, you must plug in your vehicle for My GO Time to work.
•Cabin Conditioning:Get the most miles out of every charge by
conditioning your vehicle while it is plugged in. Set the cabin
temperature when you set your GO Time in order to use energy from
your home (or charging station) instead of from your vehicle’s battery.
