HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
Your vehicle is equipped with a Lithium-ion high voltage
battery that is used to power the electric powertrain
systems and the 12 volt vehicle electrical system.
The high voltage battery is located under the middle
section of the vehicle, below and in front of the second row
seating. The high voltage battery is maintenance free and
designed to last for the life of the vehicle.
Lithium-ion batteries provide the following benefits:
•Lithium-ion batteries are much lighter than other types
of rechargeable batteries of the same size.
• Lithium-ion batteries hold their charge; they only lose
approximately 3 percent of their charge per month.
• Lithium-ion batteries have no memory, which means
that you do not have to completely discharge them
before recharging, as with some other batteries.
• Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged and discharged
thousands of times. High Voltage Battery Service Disconnect
The High Voltage Battery Service Disconnect is located
under the floor, in front of the second row passenger
seating.
If your vehicle requires high voltage battery service, see
your authorized dealer.
WARNING!
Never try to remove the high voltage service discon-
nect. The high voltage service disconnect is used when
your vehicle requires service by a trained technician at
an authorized dealer. Failure to follow this warning
can cause severe burns or electrical shock that may
result in serious injury or death.
Disposal of the High Voltage Battery
Your vehicle’s high voltage battery is designed to last the
life of your vehicle. See your authorized dealer for infor-
mation on the disposal of the battery if it should require
replacement.

General Information
The vehicle is also equipped with a Battery Management
System that is designed to:
•Ensure safe operation
• Maximize driving range
• Maximize the life expectancy of the high voltage battery
NOTE:
• During vehicle start up and shut down a clicking noise
may be heard from within the vehicle. When the ignition
is in the ON position, the high voltage battery contactors
inside the battery are closed to make the stored electric-
ity inside available for vehicle use. The clicking noise
observed is the sound of these contactors as they open
and close and is for normal operation.
• In extreme temperatures, the High Voltage Battery may
need to be conditioned and therefore may require the
vehicle to be plugged-in. When the vehicle is not
plugged-in, the following message, “Plug In Vehicle for
Battery Conditioning” might appear in the instrument
cluster display. When the High Voltage Battery is not
ready to crank the vehicle at start up, due to conditions
including extreme temperatures, the message “Battery
Conditioning Leave Ignition In Run” will be displayed in the instrument cluster display. Keep the ignition in the
ON/RUN position for the battery to recover. Switch the
ignition back to the OFF position when the message
disappears, and then start the vehicle. When the “Bat-
tery Conditioning Leave Ignition in Run” message is
displayed on the instrument cluster display, do not
operate any air conditioning controls.

•Under cold or hot temperatures, while the vehicle is
plugged-in and the ignition is in the OFF position, the
vehicle may wake-up to pre-condition the high voltage
battery for usage.
• It is recommended that the vehicle be plugged-in over
night where possible to maximize the electric range of
the vehicle.
HIGH VOLTAGE CHARGING OPERATION
SAE J1772 Charging Inlet
Your vehicle uses an industry standard SAE J1772 charge
inlet (vehicle charge inlet) for both AC Level 1 (120V) and
AC Level 2 (240V) charging.

When using public charging stations, ensure the charging
station is ready to provide charge and the vehicle is in
PARK before the charge connector is plugged into the
vehicle’s charge inlet. You will hear a “click” when the
charge connector is inserted correctly and is coupled with
the vehicle’s charge inlet. The vehicle should start charging
automatically. If not, please check the instructions at the
charging station.
NOTE:The vehicle should start charging automatically. If
not, please check the following:
• Charging Station – Check the indications and instruc-
tions at the charging station or
• Charging Schedule – Check whether the charging sched-
ule is enabled and if so, whether the vehicle is currently
within the scheduled charge time/date. If the charging
schedule is enabled within the vehicle, you may over-
ride them for this charging event by plugging in the
charge connector, unplugging it, and then plugging it
back into the vehicle charge inlet. Complete the double
plug sequence within 10 seconds for it to override the set
schedule. To stop the charging process:
•
Press the “STOP” button located on the front of the
EVSE station.
• Press the button on the charge connector first and then
remove the connector from the vehicle charge inlet
• Plug the charge handle into the EVSE station and coil the
charging cord onto its holder. Do not leave the charging
cord laying on the ground.
Charging Times
The following factors determine the time it takes to charge
the high voltage battery:
• The high voltage battery’s current state of charge
• The type of EVSE used (Level 1 - 120V or Level 2 – 240V)
• Ambient temperature
• Whether the vehicle is ON during charging

NOTE:
•The charging times below are estimates based on a
completely discharged high voltage battery
• Charging times will vary based on the age, condition,
state of charge and temperature of the high voltage
battery.
• Charging times may be longer if a thermal self-
protection reduces the charging current from the EVSE.
• If the vehicle’s ignition is in either the ACC or RUN
position, the vehicle charge indicator may not indicate
greater than a 99% state of charge, and will continue to
charge the vehicle, due to the vehicle loads.
Type of EVSE Estimated Charge Time
Level 1 (120V/12A) Approximately 14 hours
Level 2 (240V/30A) Approximately 2 hours
Vehicle Charge Indicators
Instrument Cluster High Voltage Battery Gauge
There is a battery gauge indicator located on the instru-
ment cluster. The battery gauge will display the current
state of charge for the high voltage battery; with the
percentage value located to the left of the symbol.
High Voltage Battery Gauge

Page 35 of 592

Instrument Panel State Of Charge Indicator
In addition to the battery gauge your vehicle is equipped
with a visual state of charge indicator. The state of charge
indicator is made up of five lights that are mounted to the
top center of the instrument panel, which will illuminate
when the vehicle is plugged into the EVSE.The state of charge indicator represents the current state of
charge for the high voltage battery and if there is a fault
with the charging system. The state of charge indicator
illuminates quickly to provide the charging system status
to the vehicle operator . Each light represents the battery’s
current percentage of charge, as shown below in the table.
The charge indicator will illuminate from left to right one
light at a time to indicate that there is a scheduled charge
enabled.
NOTE:
The lights scroll one at a time when the vehicle is
plugged in outside of its charging schedule time/date, and
it is waiting on the schedule to begin charging.
