charging.
Changing the charge mode to
Immediate or performing a delayed
charging override will not disable a
utility interruption.
A pop-up will appear in the
infotainment display while starting
the vehicle following any utility
interruption. See
“Charging
Interrupted or Overridden Pop-Up”
under Programmable Charging
0 131.
