WARNING!(Continued)
•Ensure that the EVSEs are always stored in a safe
place. Do not expose them to rain or wet conditions.
Avoid pouring or dipping water or other liquids over
them. If water penetrates the electrical device, the
risk or electrical shock increases. Ensure that all
plugs and cables are free of moisture before using
the EVSEs.
EVSE Charging Cordset
The EVSE charging cordset is compliant with SAE J1772,
and applicable for use with vehicles fitted with the stan-
dard SAE J1772 charge inlets. The EVSE includes:
• An AC Power Cord with NEMA 5–15p, Right Angle
plug
• An indoor/outdoor charge cable, EV- rated
• A Charge Connector
• A NEMA 6 rated enclosure with a Charge Current
Interrupt Device (CCID) with status indicator display
Charging Cordset Operation
1. Plug the AC plug of the charging cordset into a 15A, or
20A, 120VAC, 60Hz, grounded wall receptacle. Do not
use an extension cord, outlet/plug adapter, or a worn
outlet. The charging cordset will not operate safely
unless it is plugged directly into the wall receptacle.

WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor could result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in
doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
product – if it does not fit the outlet, you must have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
2. Check to see if the charging cordset is ready to charge by reviewing the indicator lights. After a brief self-check, where the indicator light will flash, a green AC indicator
light and two green charge rate indicator lights indicate
that the cordset is ready for use.
3. If the charging cordset is ready to charge, ensure the vehicle is in PARK, and then connect the charge connec-
tor to the vehicle’s charge inlet. You will hear a “click”
when the charge connector is inserted correctly and
coupled with the vehicle’s charge inlet.

NOTE:The transmission must be placed in PARK before
the key is turned to the STOP position. Then, the key can be
removed.
• AVV: vehicle start-up.
• MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are en-
abled.
If the key is turned to the STOP position before shifting into
park, the key will have to be moved to the driving (MAR)
position and back to STOP. Then, the key can be removed.
WARNING!
• Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking
brake, place the transmission into PARK, and re-
move the key fob from the ignition. When leaving
the vehicle, always lock your vehicle.

WARNING!(Continued)
•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. Children
should be warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the transmission gear selector but-
tons.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in
a location accessible to children. A child could oper-
ate 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 remove
the key from the ignition and lock all doors when
leaving the vehicle unattended.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder
Opening the driver’s door when the key is in the ignition
and the ignition switch position is in the OFF/LOCK
position, a signal sounds to remove the key.
SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System prevents unauthor-
ized vehicle operation by disabling the vehicle. The system
does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is
automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or
unlocked.
The system uses ignition keys which have an embedded
electronic chip (transponder) to prevent unauthorized ve-
hicle operation. Therefore, only keys that are programmed
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.
