IN BRIEF 27
SeeBattery - North America 0324 for
important safety information. If an
airbag has inflated, see What Will You
See after an Airbag Inf lates? 089.
Only a trained service technician with
the proper knowledge and tools
should inspect, test, or replace the
high voltage battery. See your dealer if
either the 12-volt battery or the high
voltage battery needs service.
Charging
This section explains the process for
charging the high voltage battery. Do
not allow the vehicle to remain in
temperature extremes for long periods
without being driven or plugged in.
It is recommended that the vehicle be
plugged in when temperatures are
below 0 °C (32 °F) and above 32 °C
(90 °F) to maximize high voltage
battery life.
When using the portable charge cord
included with the vehicle, it will take
approximately 20 hours to charge the
vehicle with the 8 amp AC current
setting or 12.5 hours using the
12 amp AC current setting. When
using a charging station capable of 16 amps or more, it will take
approximately 4.5 hours to charge the
vehicle. Charge times will vary with
outside temperature. There are three
ways to program how the vehicle is
charged. See
Programmable Charging
(PLUG-IN Only) 0152.
The charging system may run fans
and pumps that result in sounds from
the vehicle while it is turned off.
Additional unexpected clicking sounds
may be caused by the electrical
devices used while charging.
While the charge cord is plugged into
the vehicle, the vehicle cannot be
driven.
Charging
Start Charge
A portable charge cord used to charge
the vehicle high voltage battery is
stored in the trunk under the load
floor. 1. Place the vehicle in P (Park) with the ignition off.
2. Push the rearward edge of the charge port door in and release
to open the door. In cold weather conditions, ice
may form around the charge port
door. Remove ice from the area
before attempting to open or
close the charge port door.
3. Open the trunk. Lift the load floor cover and remove the
charge cord.
4. Plug the charge cord into the electrical outlet. See Electrical
Requirements for Battery Charging
(PLUG-IN Only) 0285. Verify the
charge cord status. See Charge
Cord (PLUG-IN Only) 0279. Select
the appropriate charge level
using the Charge Limit
Preference screen on the
infotainment display. See “Charge
Limit Selection ”under
Programmable Charging (PLUG-IN
Only) 0152.

IN BRIEF 29
{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.
Charge Cord Status Indicators
See Charge Cord (PLUG-IN Only) 0279.
Charge Level Selection
Charge level selection can be made
using the Charge Limit Preference
screen on the infotainment display.
See “Charge Limit Selection ”under
Programmable Charging (PLUG-IN Only)
0 152.
{Warning
Using a charge level that exceeds
the electrical circuit or electrical
outlet capacity may start a fire or
damage the electrical circuit. Use
the lowest charge level until a
qualified electrician inspects the
electrical circuit capacity. Use the
lowest charge level if the electrical
circuit or electrical outlet capacity
is not known.
Regenerative Braking
Regenerative braking takes some of
the energy from the moving vehicle
and turns it back into electrical
energy. This energy is then stored in
the high voltage battery system, contributing to increased energy
efficiency. See
Regenerative Braking
(PLUG-IN Only) 0237.
Service
{Warning
Never try to do your own service on
high voltage components. You can
be injured and the vehicle can be
damaged if you try to do your own
service work. Service and repair of
these high voltage components
should only be performed by a
trained service technician with the
proper knowledge and tools. See
Doing Your Own Service Work 0298.

the vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive a GPS
signal. The compass system will
automatically determine when a GPS
signal is restored and provide a
heading again.
