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
heard is the sound of these contactors as they open and
close during normal operation.
• In extreme temperatures, high or low, 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 instru-
ment 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 “Battery 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.
The message will only be displayed when the ignition is in
the RUN position, or if there was a failed attempt to
achieve PSA (Propulsion System Available) when the High
Voltage Battery cell temperatures are either too cold, or too
hot.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:It is good practice to keep the ignition in the OFF
position while conducting Level 1 Charging. This mini-
mizes any additional vehicle loads the EVSE has to sup-
port. The additional electrical loads will extent the High
Voltage Battery charging time.
Troubleshooting Using The Status Indicator Display
If the vehicle is not charging properly, consult the status
indicator lights.
The AC Power Indicator displays the status and safety of
the input power. If this indicator is green, the power is
within acceptable limits to charge the vehicle. If only the
AC Power Indicator is flashing red, then there is a problem
with the AC power at the electrical outlet. If the AC Power
Indicator does not return to green, then the outlet should
be inspected by a licensed electrician to ensure the voltage,
frequency, and grounding are complaint to national and
local electrical codes and ordinances. It may be possible to
attempt charging from a different outlet.
The Fault Indicator displays the status of the Portable
EVSE Cordset and the vehicle connection. The Portable
EVSE Cordset will not allow charging while the fault
indicator is red. If it is off, the Portable EVSE Cordset has
not detected any internal faults, or faults with the vehicle
connection. If the Fault Indicator is flashing red, there is a fault detected either with the Portable EVSE Cordset,
electronics, or with the vehicle connection. The Portable
EVSE Cordset may attempt to retry to provide current to
the vehicle if the fault is cleared. If the Portable EVSE
Cordset does not attempt to provide charge to the vehicle,
the charge connector will need to be removed from the
vehicle to clear the fault.
The fault code list in the table below provides a reference
for the important faults that are detected by the Portable
EVSE Cordset. When a fault is detected, the AC Power
Indicator, the Fault Indicator, or both the AC Power and
Fault Indicators will flash red. If only the AC Power
Indicator is red, there is a problem on the AC Power side of
the unit. If only the Fault Indicator is flashing red, there is
a problem internal to the unit or with the vehicle. If both
the AC Power and Fault Indicators are flashing red, an over
temperature condition is detected at either the AC plug or
within the EVSE enclosure. Additional information about
the faults is provided by a fault code that is displayed on
the two green Charge Rate Indicators. The fault code
consists of four digits, each with a value of 1 or 2. The value
of a digit is the number of indicators illuminated for that
part of the sequence. For example, fault code (1, 2, 1, 1) will
display the following sequence: One indicator will illumi-
nate for 0.3 seconds, then two indicators will illuminate,

•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/15A) Approximately 14 hours
Level 2 (240V/30A) Approximately 2 hours
Vehicle Charge Indicators
Instrument Cluster High Voltage Battery Display
There is a battery display indicator located on the instru-
ment cluster. The battery display will display the current
state of charge for the high voltage battery; with the
percentage value located to the left of the symbol. When
plugged in, the battery symbol also gives the battery level
along with messages about the charge or whether the
system is waiting to charge due to the charge schedule.
These will appear unless there is a charging fault. A red
plug telltale will be shown in the cluster, as well as
applicable messaging when charging. Instrument Panel State Of Charge Indicator
In addition to the battery display, 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
top center of the instrument panel, which will illuminate
when the vehicle is plugged into the EVSE.High Voltage Battery Display

NOTE:If the vehicle is plugged in outside of the charging
schedule set in the Uconnect 4C radio, the vehicle’s battery
will not charge. Charging will only begin immediately if
the vehicle is plugged in within the time and day of the
week set in the schedule. Otherwise, charging will auto-
matically begin when the selected charge time/day of the
week occurs or whenever the vehicle is plugged in with no
charge schedule set.
If the vehicle is turned off outside of the charging window,
a radio pop-up message will be displayed, which provides
an option to begin charging the vehicle immediately. The
pop-up message asks the driver if they would like to
“Charge Now?” and provides other information, including
the next charging schedule start time and estimated time to
charge the battery to 100%. If within one hour of selecting
“Yes,” the vehicle is connected to a powered EVSE, the
vehicle will immediately begin to charge (temporarily
ignoring any set charge schedule). To fully deactivate the
charge schedule, refer to the “Charging Schedule” feature
within the “Hybrid Electric Pages” App.
The charging schedule can also be overridden if the EVSE
is plugged in, unplugged, and then plugged in a second
time to the vehicle. This “double plugged-in” feature will
override the schedule that is set in the radio, and begin charging the vehicle immediately. The double plug se-
quence must be completed within ten seconds for it to
override the programed schedule.
KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. The ignition
system consists of a key fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) and a START/STOP push button ignition system.
The Remote Keyless Entry system consists of a key fob and
Keyless Enter-N-Go feature if equipped.
NOTE:
The key fob may not be found if it is located next to
a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic device; these
devices may block the key fob’s wireless signal.
This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate, activate the Panic Alarm, optional power liftgate,
left power sliding door, and right power sliding door from
distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m) using a hand-
held key fob. The key fob does not need to be pointed at the
vehicle to activate the system.
