The windshield washer reservoir is
used for the windshield and the rear

reservoir if either washer is not
working.
Compass
The vehicle has a compass display
in the instrument cluster above the
speedometer. The compass
receives its heading and other
information from the Global
Positioning System (GPS) antenna
and vehicle speed information. The compass system has automatic
calibration and zone adjustment
features.
Avoid covering the GPS antenna for
long periods of time with objects
that may interfere with the antenna's
ability to receive a satellite signal.
The compass system is designed to
operate for a certain number of
miles or degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. The compass system will
automatically determine when a
GPS signal is restored and provide
a heading.

before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly
when the propulsion system is
started to indicate they are working.
When one of the warning lights
comes on and stays on while
driving, or when one of the gauges
shows there may be a problem,
check the section that explains what
to do. Waiting to do repairs can be
costly and even dangerous.

Programmable Charging
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 may 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
weatherproof while in use.
. Mount the charge cord to reduce
strain on the electrical
outlet/plug.
. Do not place the charge cord in
a position where it is expected to
be submerged in water.
{Danger
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.
. Do not use extension cords,
multi-outlet power strips,
splitters, grounding
adaptors, surge protectors,
or similar devices.
. Do not use an electrical
outlet that is worn or
damaged, or will not hold
the plug firmly in place.

.Do not use an electrical
outlet that is not properly
grounded.
. Do not use an electrical
outlet that is on a circuit with
other electrical loads.

Immediate :
The vehicle starts

to an electrical outlet. See Plug-In
Charging 0231.
Departure : The vehicle will
schedule charging to complete by
the programmed departure time.
The vehicle estimates the charging schedule based on programmed
departure times, charge rate limits,
electric rate preference and
schedule, and priority charging
settings. If there is not sufficient
time after the charge cord is
plugged in, the vehicle will not be
fully charged by the departure time.
Departure Time Entry
The Departure charge mode allows
for the departure time to be entered
to match your personal schedule.
1. With Departure charge mode
selected, touch Edit.
2. The current programmed departure time is displayed on
