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.
Charging
Start Charge
1. Make sure the vehicle is parked
and turned off.
2. Push the rearward edge of the charge port door in and release
to open the door.
In cold weather conditions, ice
may form around the charge port
door. Remove ice from the area
before attempting to open or
close the charge port door.
3. Open the rear trunk, lift the leftload support floor cover, and
remove the charge cord. Pull up
on the charge cord handle to
release. The vehicle plug is
stored as shown.
4. Plug the charge cord into the electrical outlet. See Electrical
Requirements for Battery
Charging on page 9-66. Verify
the charge cord status. See the
charge cord user guide. See
Charge Cord on page 9-64.
Select the appropriate charge
level using the Select Charge
Level Preference screen on the

Outside Rearview Mirror
(OSRVM) Charging Status
Indicator
The outside rear view mirrors are
equipped with green LEDs used to
indicate high voltage battery system
charging status. The OSRVM CSI
indicates the following:
.Solid green - Battery is charging
and is less than half complete.
.Fast flashing - Battery is
charging. Battery is more than
half complete.
.Slow flashing - Battery is
charging. Battery is nearly
complete.
.Off - Not charging.
Charge Cord
SeeRadio Frequency Statement on
page 13-15.
A portable charge cord used to
charge the vehicle high voltage
battery is stored under the load
support floor covering in the trunk.
Important Information About
Portable Electric Vehicle Charging
.Charging an electric vehicle can
stress a building’ s electrical
system more than a typical
household appliance.
.Before you plug in to any
electrical outlet, have a qualified
electrician inspect and verify the
electrical system (electrical
outlet, wiring, junctions, and
protection devices) for
heavy-duty service at a 12 amp
continuous load.
.Electrical outlets may wear out
with normal usage or be
damaged over time, making
them unsuitable for electric
vehicle charging.
.Check the electrical outlet/plug
while charging and discontinue
use if the electrical outlet/plug is
hot, then have the electrical
outlet serviced by a qualified
electrician.
.When outdoors, plug into an
electrical outlet that is
weather-proof while in use.
.Mount the charging cord to
reduce strain on the electrical
outlet/plug.
{Warning
Improper use of portable electric
vehicle charge cords may cause
a fire, electrical shock, or burns,
and may result in damage to
property, serious injury, or death.

9-70 Driving and Operating
Do not top off or overfill the tank and
wait a few seconds before removing
the nozzle. Clean fuel from painted
surfaces as soon as possible. See
Exterior Care on page 10-80.
{Warning
If a fire starts while you are
refueling, do not remove the
nozzle. Shut off the flow of fuel by
shutting off the pump or by
notifying the station attendant.
Leave the area immediately.
{Caution
If a new fuel cap is needed, be
sure to get the right type of cap
from your dealer. The wrong type
of fuel cap might not fit properly,
might cause the malfunction
indicator lamp to light, and could
damage the fuel tank and(Continued)

emissions system. See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 5-17.
Filling a Portable Fuel
Container
{Warning
Filling a portable fuel container
while it is in the vehicle can cause
fuel vapors that can ignite either
by static electricity or other
means. You or others could be
badly burned and the vehicle
could be damaged. Always:
.Use approved fuel
containers.
.Remove the container from
the vehicle, trunk, or pickup
bed before filling.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Place the container on the
ground.
.Place the nozzle inside the fill
opening of the container
before dispensing fuel, and
keep it in contact with the fill
opening until filling is
complete.
.Fill the container no more
than 95% full to allow for
expansion.
.Do not smoke, light matches,
or use lighters while
pumping fuel.
.Avoid using cell phones or
other electronic devices.

{Caution
.Using the wrong fluid can
badly damage brake
hydraulic system parts. For
example, just a few drops of
mineral-based oil, such as
engine oil, in the brake
hydraulic system can damage
brake hydraulic system parts
so badly that they will have to
be replaced. Do not let
someone put in the wrong
kind of fluid.
.If brake fluid is spilled on the
vehicle's painted surfaces,
the paint finish can be
damaged. Be careful not to
spill brake fluid on the
vehicle. If you do, wash it off
immediately.
Battery
This vehicle has a high voltage
battery and a standard 12-volt
battery.High Voltage Battery
If the vehicle is in a crash, the
sensing system may shut down the
high voltage system. When this
occurs, the high voltage battery is
disconnected and the vehicle will
not start. The SERVICE VEHICLE
SOON message in the Driver
Information Center (DIC) will be
displayed. Before the vehicle can be
operated again, it must be serviced
at your dealer.
See
“If a Crash Occurs” under
Collision Damage Repair on
page 13-8 andHigh Voltage Safety
Information on page 1-19. If an
airbag has inflated, see What Will
You See after an Airbag Inflates? on
page 3-24.
Only a trained service technician
with the proper knowledge and tools
should inspect, test, or replace the
high voltage battery. See your
dealer if the high voltage battery
needs service. The dealer has
information on how to recycle the high voltage battery. There is
also information available at
http://www.recyclemybattery.com.
Keep the vehicle plugged in, even
when fully charged, to keep the high
voltage battery temperature ready
for the next drive. This is important
when outside temperatures are
extremely hot or cold.
A vehicle cover, which can reduce
sun loading on the vehicle and
improve high voltage battery life, is
available from your dealer.
12-Volt Battery
The 12-volt battery is in the trunk,
under the center compartment
cover. Refer to the replacement
number shown on the original
battery label when a new 12-volt
battery is needed. The vehicle has
an Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM)
12-volt battery. Installation of a
standard 12-volt battery will result in
reduced 12-volt battery life.
