5. Plug the EVSE into a standard 120V AC outlet that isproperly grounded. It is recommended that the EVSE
is connected to an AC outlet on a circuit which is not
electrically loaded by other devices. Extension cords
may not be used.
NOTE: All of the EVSE LED’s illuminate green.
6. Open the charge receptacle door.
NOTE: The charge receptacle door is locked whenever
the vehicle is locked. Unlock the doors to unlock the
charge receptacle door for charging.
7. Plug the EVSE into the charge receptacle. Push the EVSE in firmly until it is completely engaged (if not
completely engaged the vehicle may not charge). NOTE:
•The vehicle will initiate the charging cycle automati-
cally when all the conditions are satisfied.
• The vehicle charge indicator will show the pattern
for charging.

26 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!(Continued)
•Unequal tire pressures can cause steering prob-
lems. You could lose control of your vehicle.
• Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle
to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the
right or left.
• Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom-
mended cold tire inflation pressure.
Both under-inflation and over-inflation affect the stability
of the vehicle and can produce a feeling of sluggish
response or over responsiveness in the steering.
NOTE:
• Unequal tire pressures from side to side may cause
erratic and unpredictable steering response.
• Unequal tire pressure from side to side may cause the
vehicle to drift left or right.
Energy Consumption
Underinflated tires will increase tire rolling resistance
resulting in higher battery charge consumption.
Tread Wear
Improper cold tire inflation pressures can cause abnor-
mal wear patterns and reduced tread life, resulting in the
need for earlier tire replacement.
Ride Comfort And Vehicle Stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a comfortable ride.
Over-inflation produces a jarring and uncomfortable
ride.
Tire Inflation Pressures
The proper cold tire inflation pressure is listed on the
driver’s side B-Pillar or rear edge of the driver’s side
door.

**Use only your Authorized Dealer recommended lug
nuts/bolts and clean or remove any dirt or oil before
tightening.
Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to mounting
the tire and remove any corrosion or loose particles.Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern until each
nut/bolt has been tightened twice.
After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug nut/bolt torque to be
sure that all the lug nuts/bolts are properly seated
against the wheel.
