THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 23

Guidelines for preventing fire and electric shock:
•Ensure the charging cable is positioned so it will not
be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
• There are no user serviceable parts inside.
• Do not use the charging cordset if it is visibly
damaged. Contact your authorized dealer for service.
• Do not place fingers, or any other objects inside the
charge connector.
• Do not allow children to operate this device. Adult
supervision is mandatory when children are in prox-
imity when the charging cordset is in use.
NOTE: During normal operation, the charge connector
or AC plug may feel warm. If either one feels hot during
charging, unplug the charging cordset and have a
qualified electrician inspect the wall receptacle before
you continue charging.
WARNING!
Do not use the charging cordset with a receptacle
that is worn or damaged. Using the charging cordset

WARNING! (Continued)
with a worn or damaged receptacle may cause burns
or start a fire.
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, with
progressive color indication, the current state of charge
for the high voltage battery; with the percentage value
located at the bottom of the gauge.
High Voltage Battery Gauge
24 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Charge Low And Limited Power Messages
The state of charge is monitored during normal opera-
tion. If the state of charge reaches certain thresholds the
following messages will also be displayed on the clus-
ter:
•charge low — displayed at 17% (warning displayed
for six seconds).
• charge low — displayed at 11% (Displayed for six
seconds).
• charge low limited power mode — turtle displayed
at 5% and remains on. •
charge low limited power mode — turtle flashes at
0% until condition changes.
NOTE: The limited power mode can also be activated if
the high voltage battery temperature is too high or too
low.
NOTE: At 0% state of charge or below the following
features will be disabled if in use:
• Heated Seats
• Electronic Speed Control
• Climate Controls

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 center of the instrument panel.
The state of charge indicator represents the current state
of charge for the high voltage battery. The state of
charge indicator lights quickly to identify the battery
state of charge while the vehicle is being charged. Each
light represents the battery’s current percentage of
charge.NOTE:
In the event of an error in the charging process
the outer two lights will blink.
Number Of Indicator Lights Illuminated Percent Of Battery
Charge
1 Light 0 – 20%
2 Lights 21 – 40%
3 Lights 41 – 60%
4 Lights 61 – 80%
5 Lights 81 – 100%
AC Level 2 Charging (240V, 30 Amp)
AC Level 2 (240V) charging requires a 240V, Level 2
EVSE (Charging station). A 30A Level 2 EVSE for home
installation is recommended.
When using public charging stations, ensure the charg-
ing 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 instruc-
tions at the charging station.
State Of Charge Indicator
26 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:The vehicle should start charging automati-
cally. If not, please check the following:
• Charging Station – Check the indications and instruc-
tions at the charging station.
• Charging Schedule – Check whether the charging
schedule is enabled and if so, whether the vehicle is
currently within the scheduled charge time/date. If
the charging schedule is enabled, you may override
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, disconnect the charge
connector from the vehicle inlet.
Charge Times
The following factors determine the time it takes to
charge the high voltage battery:
• The high voltage battery’s current state of charge
• What level EVSE is being used (Level 1 – 120V or
Level 2 – 240V)
• Ambient temperature •
Whether the vehicle is on during charging
NOTE:
• The charging times are estimates based on a com-
pletely 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.
Type of Charge Estimated Charge Time
Level 1 (120V/15A) Approximately 23 hours
Level 2 (240V/30A) Approximately 4 hours

A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS
The key fob contains a mechanical integrated key. To
use the mechanical key, simply push the mechanical key
release button.
The vehicle is supplied with a code card containing key
code numbers to order duplicate keys, and the autho-
rized dealer that sold you your new vehicle has the key
code numbers for your vehicle locks. These numbers
can be used to order duplicate keys.
Ignition Key Removal
1. Place the transmission in PARK.
2. Rotate the key to the OFF/LOCK position.
3. Remove the key from the ignition switch lock cylin-der.

28 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!
•Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking
brake, place the transmission into PARK, and
remove the key fob from the ignition. When
leaving the vehicle, always lock your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle.
• Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally injured. Chil-
dren should be warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the transmission gear selec-
tor buttons.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or
in a location accessible to children. 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 vehicle is an invitation. Always re-
move the key from the ignition and lock all the
doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Locking Doors With A Key
You can insert the key with either side up. To lock the
door, turn the key to the left. To unlock the door, turn
the key to the right.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder
Opening the driver’s door when the key is in the
ignition and the ignition switch position is OFF/LOCK
sounds a signal to remove the key.
SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System prevents unauthor-
ized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The
system does not need to be armed or activated. Opera-
tion is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
2
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 29

The system uses ignition keys which have an embedded
electronic chip (transponder) to prevent unauthorized
vehicle operation. Therefore, only keys that are pro-
grammed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate
the vehicle.
NOTE:A key which has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key, even if it is cut to fit the
ignition switch lock cylinder for that vehicle.
If the vehicle security light is on after the key is turned
to the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position, it indicates that
there is a problem with the electronics.
CAUTION!
• Always remove the Sentry Key from the vehicle
and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
• The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not com-
patible with some aftermarket remote starting
systems. Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and loss of security
protection.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have
been programmed to the vehicle electronics.
Replacement Keys
NOTE: Only keys that have been programmed to the
vehicle electronics can be used to start the vehicle. Once
a Sentry Key has been programmed to a vehicle, it
cannot be programmed to any other vehicle. When
having the Sentry Key Immobilizer System serviced,
bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.
The VIN is required for authorized dealer replacement
of keys. Duplication of keys may be performed at an
authorized dealer.
