HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
Your vehicle is equipped with a Lithium-ion high voltage
battery that is used to power the electric powertrain
systems and the 12 volt vehicle electrical system.
The high voltage battery is located under the vehicle. The
high voltage battery is maintenance free and designed to
last for the life of the vehicle.
NOTE:Upon exiting the vehicle, ensure the ignition is in
the off position and the key is removed from the vehicle.
Lithium-ion batteries provide the following benefits:
•Lithium-ion batteries are much lighter than other types
of rechargeable batteries of the same size.
• Lithium-ion batteries hold their charge; they only lose
approximately 3 percent of their charge per month.
• Lithium-ion batteries have no memory, which means
that you do not have to completely discharge them
before recharging, as with some other batteries.

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.

4. When the vehicle commences charging, the Charge RateIndicator Lights will cycle from left to right, and then
both turn off. This pattern will repeat while the vehicle
is charging. The lights are illuminated at the rate of
approximately one cycle per second.
NOTE: The vehicle should start charging automatically. If
not, please check the following:
•Charging Cordset - The charging cordset status indi-
cators illuminate green or red to identify the charging
cordset status. Refer to “Troubleshooting Using The Status Indicator Display” in this section for further
information on the charging cordset status.
• Wall Receptacle – Check whether the wall receptacle is
functional (no power outage) and/or plug the charg-
ing cordset into a different wall receptacle.
• Charging Schedule – Check whether or not the charg-
ing schedules have been enabled. If enabled, check
that you are within the scheduled time and date. If a
charging schedule has been enabled and you are
outside the time and date, you may override the
schedule for this charging event by plugging in the
charge connector, unplugging it, and then plugging it
back into the vehicle charge inlet. Complete the double
plug sequence within ten seconds for it to override the
set schedule.
5. To stop the charging process, disconnect the vehicle side connector first and then the charging cordset from the
wall receptacle. To disengage the vehicle coupler, push
the button on the charge connector (1) before removing
the connector from the vehicle charge inlet (2).
