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

Note:
The 120 volt convenience cord allows
you to charge the high voltage battery using
a standard 120 volt household outlet.
Charging with a 120 VAC outlet takes
approximately 30 hours to completely
charge an empty battery.
We recommend upgrading to the optional
240 volt charging station for faster more
efficient charging. Charging with a 240 VAC
takes approximately 5 hours 30 minutes
to completely charge an empty battery.
Note: Exact charge time will depend on
ambient temperatures.
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.
Note: 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. 120 Volt Convenience Cord
