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.

5. To stop the charging process, disconnect the vehicle sideconnector first and then the charging cordset from the
wall receptacle. To disengage the vehicle coupler, press
the button on the charge connector first and then
remove the connector from the vehicle charge inlet.
6. Close the inlet door. NOTE:
It is good practice to keep the ignition in the OFF
position while conducting Level 1 Charging. This mini-
mizes any additional vehicle loads the EVSE has to support
which extend the charging time.
Troubleshooting Using The Status Indicator Display
If the vehicle is not charging properly, consult the status
indicator lights.
The AC Power Indicator displays the status and safety of
the input power. If this indicator is green, the power is
within acceptable limits to charge the vehicle. If only the
AC Power Indicator is flashing red, then there is a problem
with the AC power at the electrical outlet. If the AC Power
Indicator does not return to green, then the outlet should
be inspected by a licensed electrician to ensure the voltage,
frequency, and grounding are complaint to national and
local electrical codes and ordinances. It may be possible to
attempt charging from a different outlet.

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.

NOTE:If the vehicle is plugged in outside of the charging
schedule set in the Uconnect 8.4 radio, the vehicle’s battery
will not charge. Charging will only begin immediately if
the vehicle is plugged in within the time and date set in the
schedule. Otherwise, charging will automatically begin
when the selected charge time/date occurs.
This feature can be overridden if the vehicle is plugged in,
unplugged, and then plugged in a second time. This
“double plugged-in” feature will override the schedule
that is set in the radio, and begin charging the vehicle
immediately. The double plug sequence must be completed
within 10 seconds for it to override the programed sched-
ule.
If the vehicle is turned off outside of the charging window
a radio pop-up message will be displayed, that allows the
user to charge it immediately. If “Yes” is selected, the
vehicle will begin charging immediately, ignoring the
charge schedule, if plugged in within an hour of turning
the vehicle off.KEYS
The keyless ignition system consists of a key fob with a
built in emergency key and a Keyless Push Button Ignition
system.
Key Fob
This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate, and activate the Panic Alarm, optional power
liftgate, left power sliding door, and right power sliding
door from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m) using
a hand-held key fob. The key fob does not need to be
pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.
