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.

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.

KeySense Unique Splash Screen
At start-up the KeySense splash screen should inform the
driver that the vehicle will be functioning in KeySense
mode when the KeySense key is in use.
Start Up Display Features
•Unique splash screen graphic
• Telltale
illuminated
•After unique splash screen, and after stored messages
are cycled, then start-up KeySense messages (Range &
Max Speed) are displayed
The following features are always enabled when this key is
in use:
• Entertainment Audio Muted if 1st row occupied Seat
Belts are not Fastened
• Consistent Seat Belt Unfastened Chime
• Maximum Radio Volume limited to 15 out of 39
• Daytime Running Lights
For additional information please refer to “Uconnect Set-
tings” located in “Multimedia.”
IGNITION SWITCH
This feature allows the driver to start the vehicle with the
push of a button, as long as the key fob is in the passenger
compartment, and the drivers foot on the brake pedal.
NOTE: This vehicle is equipped with an automatic shut-
down feature. If the vehicle is left in “READY” state
(vehicle running) with shifter in “PARK”, for one hour
after the driver exits, it will automatically turn off the
vehicle. Notifications have been designed into this feature
to raise awareness of the timed event. The instrument
cluster display will display “Ready to drive” accompanied
with three audible chimes while exiting. The interior
warnings will occur regardless if the key fob remains in the
vehicle or is removed. The horn will sound three times if
the fob is removed from the vehicle and the ignition state is
in “READY” mode. Please consider this feature when
intentionally standing the vehicle for extended periods of
time over one hour. To restart the vehicle, follow the
normal process for starting your vehicle.
The Keyless Push Button Ignition has four operating
positions; three of which are labeled and will illuminate
when in position. The three positions are OFF, ACC, and
ON/RUN. The fourth position is START, during start RUN
will illuminate.

NOTE:
•Pushing ignition Start/Stop button could just activate
the Electric Propulsion System (Ready will show in
cluster whenever vehicle is operating in EV (Electric
Vehicle) Mode and the vehicle is stationary).
• If the vehicle ignition is in either ACC or RUN the
vehicle charge indicator may not indicator greater than
99% state of charge due to vehicle loads and continue to
charge the vehicle. The ignition can be placed in the following positions:
OFF
•
The vehicle is stopped.
• Some electrical devices are available.
ACC
• Some electrical devices are available.
• Mechanical power (Hybrid Propulsion) is not available.
ON/RUN
• Driving position.
• All the electrical devices are available.
START
• As long as the Readyappears in the instrument cluster
display it does not matter if the engine is running or not,
hybrid propulsion is available.
The vehicle only operates in the ON/RUN ignition posi-
tion or from a remote start request.

WARNING!(Continued)
•Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in
a location accessible to children, and do not leave the
ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-
N-Go in the RUN mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside parked
vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up may
cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation. Always remove the
key fobs from the vehicle and lock all doors when
leaving the vehicle unattended. NOTE:
If the brake is pressed and the ignition is placed in
the RUN position, the instrument cluster will not display
the Ready state. When the Electric Vehicle Supply Equip-
ment (EVSE) is unplugged from the vehicle, it will go into
the “Ready” state. If the vehicle is not shifted out of Park 30
minutes following being unplugged, the vehicle will dis-
able the “Ready” state and the Ignition will go to RUN
mode. After an additional 30 minutes with no change in
Ignition status, the Ignition shall go to OFF and the vehicle
shall power down. For further information, refer to Start-
ing Procedures inStarting And Operating for further
information,REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
NOTE: Remote start on Hybrid while plugged in may
not always start the engine. Temperature dependent.
This system uses the key fob to start the vehicle
conveniently from the outside while still main-
taining security. The system has a range of 328 ft
(100 m).

The Remote Starting System also activates the Climate
Control, vented seats (if equipped) in temperatures above
80° F (26.7° C), the optional heated seats, optional heated
steering wheel, optional heated mirrors and rear defroster
in temperatures below 40° F (4.4° C).
NOTE:
•Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob may
reduce this range.
•
While plugged in the remote start feature for the vehicle
may not always start the engine. Temperature dependent.
Remote Start Cancel Message — If Equipped
The following messages will display in the instrument
cluster if the vehicle fails to remote start or exits remote
start prematurely:
• Remote Start Cancelled — Door Open (Prior to remote
start attempt)
• Remote Start Cancelled — Hood Open
• Remote Start Cancelled — Fuel Low
• Remote Start Cancelled — Liftgate Open
• Remote Start Cancelled — Time Expired
• Remote Start Disabled — Start Vehicle To Reset The message will stay active until the ignition is placed in
the ON/RUN position.
