The light ring located around the charge
port indicates the charge status of your
vehicle's high-voltage battery. The charge
port light ring is divided into four quadrants
which display state of charge in 25 percent
increments.
There is a cord acknowledgment feature
that will be activated when a charge cycle
is initiated. The four light quadrants will
each individually flash clockwise starting
with the top right light and ending with the
top left, two full times confirming a
charging coupler has been detected.
You can use your keyfob to view the
vehicles charge status at any time by
pressing the unlock button. The light ring
will light up the corresponding quadrant(s)
so that the current state of charge can be
determined. If the charge is below 25
percent the light ring will not illuminate.
Don’t forget to press the lock button on
your keyfob to re-lock the vehicle.
The light ring will also display the current
state of charge when opening the doors.
