Vehicle Security

Vehicle Alarm System
This vehicle has an anti-theft alarm
system.
Arming the Alarm System

2. Lock the vehicle in one of three ways:
.Use the RKE transmitter.
.Use the Keyless Access
system.
.With a door open, pressQ
on the interior of the door.
3. After 30 seconds the alarm system will arm. Pressing
Qon
the RKE transmitter a second time will bypass the 30-second
delay and immediately arm the
alarm system.
If the driver door is opened without
first unlocking with the RKE
transmitter, the horn will chirp and
the lights will flash to indicate
pre-alarm. If the vehicle is not
started, or the door is not unlocked
by pressing
Kon the RKE
transmitter during the 10-second
pre-alarm, the alarm will be
activated.
If the charge cord theft alert is
enabled, the alarm will also be
activated when there is an attempt
to remove the charge cord, or if a
passenger door, the trunk, or the
hood is opened without first
disarming the system. When the
alarm is activated, the turn signals
flash and the horn sounds for about
30 seconds. The alarm system will
then re-arm to monitor for the next
unauthorized event.

Charging
Plug-In Charging
This section explains the process
for charging the vehicle's high
voltage battery. Do not allow the
vehicle to remain in temperature
extremes for long periods without
being driven or plugged in. It is
recommended that the vehicle be
plugged in when temperatures are
below 0°C (32°F) and above 32°C
(90°F) to maximize high voltage
battery life.
When using a 120-volt AC electrical
outlet, it will take approximately
12.5 hours to charge the vehicle
with the 12 amp AC current setting
or 18 hours using the default 8 amp
AC current setting. When using a
240-volt charging station, it will take
approximately five hours to charge
the vehicle. Charge times will vary
with outside temperature. There are
three ways to program how thevehicle is charged. See
Programmable Charging on
page 5-29.
The charging system may run fans
and pumps that result in sounds
from the vehicle while it is turned
off. Additional unexpected clicking
sounds may be caused by the
electrical devices used while
charging.
While the charge cord is plugged
into the vehicle, the vehicle cannot
be driven.
