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.

•Cabin Preconditioning:Get the most miles out of every charge by
preconditioning your vehicle while it’s still plugged in and charging.
Use your smart phone to set the cabin temperature and departure
time before you leave so you use energy from your home wall outlet
instead of your battery to heat or cool your vehicle.
HIGH-VOLTAGE SERVICE DISCONNECT
The high-voltage service disconnect shuts off power from the
high-voltage battery.
Disabling the High-Voltage Battery
Note:There are two disconnect circuits in your vehicle. Disconnecting
one circuit will automatically disable the high-voltage battery.
To disable the high-voltage battery and stop all high-voltage electric
activity in the vehicle you can access one or both of the two high-voltage
disconnect circuits. To do this, you must unplug one of the circuits from
the circuit ports connected to the battery.
The lower battery high-voltage disconnect circuit is located by the right
rear wheel, accessible from under the car.
The upper battery high-voltage disconnect circuit is located behind the
rear fold-down seats near the left side of the vehicle, and is more easily
accessible than the lower battery circuit. To access this circuit:
1. Fold down the left rear seat.
2. Locate the access door. Press the
button on the top of the access
door to remove the plastic cover.
Remove the cover panel. A cut out
area will be visible which allows
your hand access to the circuit.
3. Press the tab on the top center of the circuit and rotate the handle
toward you. Press again to pull the hand down.
4. Pull the handle toward you and remove the circuit from the vehicle to
disable the high-voltage battery.
Reverse this procedure to reinstall the service disconnect.
Reactivating the High-Voltage Battery
Note:If you have manually disconnected your high-voltage shutoff
circuits you will need to reconnect the circuits before they can be
reactivated. The vehicle will detect if the electrical system is safe and
reactivate automatically.
