Engine Coolant
Temperature Warning Light
On some vehicles this light comes on
briefly while starting the vehicle. If it
does not, have the vehicle serviced by
the dealer. If the system is working
normally the indicator light goes off.
For vehicles with the reconfigurable
cluster, this light may not come on
when starting the vehicle.
Caution
The engine coolant temperature
warning light indicates that the
vehicle has overheated. Driving with
this light on can damage the engine
and it may not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. SeeEngine
Overheating 0321. The engine coolant temperature
warning light comes on when the
engine has overheated.
If this happens pull over and turn off
the engine as soon as possible. See
Engine Overheating
0321.
Tire Pressure Light
For vehicles with the Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS), this light
comes on briefly when the engine is
started. It provides information about
tire pressures and the TPMS.
When the Light Is On Steady
This indicates that one or more of the
tires are significantly underinflated.
A Driver Information Center (DIC) tire
pressure message may also display.
Stop as soon as possible, and inflate the tires to the pressure value shown
on the Tire and Loading Information
label. See
Tire Pressure 0347.
When the Light Flashes First and
Then Is On Steady
If the light flashes for about a minute
and then stays on, there may be a
problem with the TPMS. If the
problem is not corrected, the light will
come on at every ignition cycle. See
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation 0350.
Engine Oil Pressure Light
Caution
Lack of proper engine oil
maintenance can damage the
engine. Driving with the engine oil
low can also damage the engine.
The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Check the
oil level as soon as possible. Add oil
if required, but if the oil level is
within the operating range and the
oil pressure is still low, have the

vehicle serviced. Always follow the
maintenance schedule for changing
engine oil.
This light should come on briefly as
the engine is started. If it does not
come on, have the vehicle serviced by
your dealer.
If the light comes on and stays on, it
means that oil is not flowing through
the engine properly. The vehicle could
be low on oil and might have some
other system problem. See your dealer.
Low Fuel Warning Light
This light is near the fuel gauge and
comes on briefly when the ignition is
turned on as a check to show it is
working. For vehicles with a
reconfigurable cluster, this light is in
the display area and may not come on
when the ignition is turned on.
It also comes on when the fuel tank is
low on fuel. The light turns off when
fuel is added. If it does not, have the
vehicle serviced.

Programmable Charging
(PLUG-IN Only)
Important Information About
Portable Electric Vehicle Charging
. Charging an electric vehicle can
stress a building’s electrical
system more than a typical
household appliance.
. Before you plug in to any electrical
outlet, have a qualified electrician
inspect and verify the electrical
system (electrical outlet, wiring,
junctions, and protection devices)
for heavy-duty service at a 12 amp
continuous load.
. Electrical outlets may wear out
with normal usage or be damaged
over time, making them unsuitable
for electric vehicle charging.
. Check the electrical outlet/plug
while charging and discontinue
use if the electrical outlet/plug is
hot, then have the electrical outlet
serviced by a qualified electrician.
. When outdoors, plug into an
electrical outlet that is
weatherproof while in use.

.Mount the charging cord to reduce
strain on the electrical outlet/plug.
{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.
See the charge cord user guide.
Programmable Charge Modes
This vehicle has three programmable
charge modes. To view the current
charge mode status in the
infotainment display, touch
[in
the infotainment display and then
touch CHARGING at the bottom of
the display.
The Charge Start and Charge
Complete time estimates are also
displayed on the screen. These
estimates are most accurate when the
vehicle is plugged in and in moderate
temperature conditions. Also, to get
an accurate time estimate, the vehicle
uses an internal clock for
programmable charging, not the clock
in the infotainment display.
Charge Mode Status
Immediately : The vehicle starts
charging as soon as it is connected to
an electrical outlet. See Plug-In
Charging (PLUG-IN Only) 0274.
Delay Charge Based on Departure
Time : The vehicle estimates the
charging start time considering the
programmed departure time for the
current day of the week. Charging
begins at the start time and is
complete by the departure time only if
sufficient time is allowed after the
charge cord is plugged in.

154 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Delay (Electric Rate and Departure
Time) :The vehicle estimates the
charging start time based on the
utility rate schedule, utility rate
preference, and the programmed
departure time for the current day of
the week. The vehicle will charge
during the least expensive rate periods
to achieve a full battery charge by the
departure time. Electrical rate
information from the utility company
for the charging location is required
for this mode.
Also, if the selected electric rate
settings result in a very long charge
completion time, the vehicle will start
charging immediately upon plug-in.
For example, if the electric rate table
is set up with all “Peak”rates and the
rate preference is to charge during “Off-Peak”
rates only, then the vehicle
will start charging immediately upon
plug-in.
Charge Limit Selection
The Charge Limit Preference setting
allows the customer to select their
vehicle’s charge level so it matches the
capability of their charging location.
If the vehicle consistently stops
charging after plugging in, or if a
circuit breaker continues to trip,
reducing to a lower Charge Limit
Preference may resolve the issue.
The Charge Limit Preference should be
configured to match the electrical
current rating for the electrical outlet
that the charge cord is connected to.
The Charge Limit Preference
settings are: .
Maximum: Limits AC current to
12 amps
. Reduced: Limits AC current to
8 amps
Exact current levels may vary from
the values shown in this manual.
Check the vehicle for the current
available levels.
The Charge Limit Preference setting
can be changed at any time while the
infotainment display is operable.
For some vehicles, the Charge Limit
Preference must be updated prior to
the vehicle being charged and the
Charge Limit Preference will reset to a
default value when the vehicle is
shifted from P (Park).
{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 (Continued)
