3. Stow the safety belt in the belt
stowage clip. This will prevent the
safety belt from getting caught in the
seat latch. When raising the seatback(s), make sure
you hear the seat latch into place and that
no red portion is visible on the release
button on both sides.
Flip Up Seat Cushions (If Equipped)
WARNING
Before returning the seatback to its
original position, make sure that
cargo or any objects are not trapped
behind the seatback. Make sure that the
safety belt is not laying on the seat latch.
After returning the seatback to its original
position, pull on the seatback to make sure
that it has fully latched. An unlatched seat
may become dangerous in the event of a
sudden stop or crash. For additional cargo space, flip the seat
cushions up before folding the seatback.
This feature is only available on vehicles
with a split folding seatback.

HEATED SEATS
WARNING
People who are unable to feel pain
to their skin because of advanced
age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal
cord injury, medication, alcohol use,
exhaustion or other physical conditions,
must exercise care when using the heated
seat. The heated seat may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if
used for long periods of time. Do not place
anything on the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This
may cause the heated seat to overheat.
Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles
or other pointed objects. This may damage
the heating element which may cause the
heated seat to overheat. An overheated
seat may cause serious personal injury. Do not do the following:
•
Place heavy objects on the seat.
• Operate the heated seat if water or any
other liquid spills on the seat. Allow the
seat to dry thoroughly.
• Operate the heated seats unless the
vehicle is powered to Ready to Drive.
Doing so can deplete the 12-volt
battery. Press the heated seat symbol to cycle
through the various heat settings and off.
More indicator lights indicate warmer
settings.

12 Volt DC Power Point
WARNING
Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket. Incorrect use of the lighter
can cause damage not covered by your
warranty, and can result in fire or serious
injury. Note:
After starting your vehicle, you can
use the socket to power 12-volt appliances
with a maximum current rating of 20 amps.
After you switch your vehicle off, the power
supply works only for a maximum of 30
minutes.
Note: Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
damages the outlet and can blow the fuse.
Note: Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watt or a
fuse may blow.
Note: Do not use the power point for
operating a cigar lighter element.
Note: Incorrect use of the power point can
cause damage not covered by your
warranty.
Note: Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.
Run the vehicle for full capacity use of the
power point.
To prevent the battery from running out of
charge:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary after switching the vehicle
off.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when your vehicle is in park
(P) for extended periods. Location
You may find power points in the following

STARTING THE ELECTRIC
MOTOR
Keyless Starting
Note:
The system may not function if the
passive key is close to metal objects or
electronic devices, for example keys or a cell
phone.
Note: A valid passive key must be located
inside your vehicle to switch the power on
and start your vehicle.
Note: Passive keys left inside your vehicle
when locked are disabled. A message may
appear in the information display indicating
that there is no key detected when you try
to start your vehicle. Press the unlock
button on the remote control to enable it,
and then start your vehicle.
Power Modes The keyless starting system has three
modes:
•
Off: Turns the power off. Without
applying the brake pedal, press and
release the power button once when
your vehicle is in the on mode, or when
your vehicle is on but not moving.

if it does not detect a valid passive key. If
you open and close a door while your
vehicle is on, the system searches for a
valid passive key. You cannot start your
vehicle if the system does not detect a
valid passive key within 10 seconds.
SWITCHING OFF THE
ELECTRIC MOTOR
WARNING
Switching off the electric motor
when your vehicle is still moving will
result in a loss of brake and steering
assistance. The steering will not lock, but
higher effort will be required. With the
ignition switched off some electrical
circuits, warning lamps and indicators may
also be off. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious personal injury or
death. When your vehicle is not moving and the
electric motor is on or the power is in
accessory mode, press and release the
power button without pressing the brake
pedal. This will shut off the electric motor
and all electrical accessories.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
This battery pack shall 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
high voltage cables are labeled and
covered with a solid orange covering or
orange striped tape. Do not touch these
components. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious personal injury or
death. The high voltage battery system is a high
voltage, lightweight lithium-ion battery
which has two individual packs. One pack
is located in the rear cargo area behind the
second row seats, 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 the life of the high
voltage battery.
Note:
The high voltage battery does not
require regular service maintenance.
Note: The high voltage battery will
experience gradual capacity loss with time
and usage. This is normal.
CHARGING THE HIGH
VOLTAGE BATTERY WARNINGS
Do not use the 120 volt convenience
cord with an extension cord,
two-prong adapter, surge protector,
timer or other adapter. In Canada, do not use the 120 volt
convenience cord in commercial
garages. WARNINGS
This equipment has arcing or
sparking parts, do not expose to
flammable vapors. Position this
equipment at least 18 inches (80
millimeters) above the floor. The AC wall plug must fit firmly into
the AC outlet. If the connection feels
loose, worn or the AC outlet is
damaged, please have a qualified
electrician replace the AC outlet. Using a
convenience cord with a worn outlet may
cause burns, property damage and
increase the risk of electric shock. Charging Equipment
Your vehicle is equipped with a standard
120 volt convenience cord. Lift the load
floor carpet in the rear of your vehicle to
access the 120 volt convenience cord.
Note:
The 120 volt convenience cord allows
you to charge the high voltage battery using
a standard 120 volt household outlet. It
takes approximately 18 hours to completely
charge an empty battery using the standard
120 volt convenience cord.
We recommend upgrading to the optional
240 volt charging station for faster more
efficient charging.
Note: The electrical source must meet
certain requirements for the high-voltage
batteries to charge. The AC outlet must be
a three-prong 110-120 volt AC outlet that is
properly grounded, 15– 20 amps (or greater)
and in good condition. You must use a
dedicated line, which means you cannot
have other appliances connected to the
same circuit. If you do not use a dedicated
circuit, the circuit breaker could trip or open.
If you do not have a dedicated circuit,
contact a licensed professional electrician
for proper installation.

Make sure that the 120 volt convenience
cord is completely unwound before
charging. Always plug the cord into the AC
outlet before connecting the charging
coupler into the charge port on your
vehicle.
