Traction Control System
(TCS)/StabiliTrak Light
This light comes on briefly when the
vehicle is started.
If the light does not come on, have
the vehicle serviced by your dealer.
If the system is working normally,
the indicator light turns off. If the light is on and not flashing, the
TCS, and potentially the StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control system
have been disabled.
If the indicator/warning light is on
and flashing, the TCS and/or the
StabiliTrak/ESC system is actively
working.
Tire Pressure Light
For vehicles with the Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS), this light
comes on briefly when the vehicle 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 message in the Driver Information
Center (DIC) may also display. Stop
as soon as possible, and inflate the
tires to the pressure value shown on
the Tire and Loading Information
label.
When the Light Flashes First and
Then Is On Steady
This indicates that there may be a
problem with the TPMS. The light
flashes for about one minute and
stays on steady until the vehicle is
off. This sequence repeats each
time the vehicle is started.

Charge Limit Selection
The Charge Limit setting allows the
vehicle’s charge current to be
selected so it matches the capability
of the 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 setting may
resolve the issue.
The Charge Limit setting should be
configured to match the electrical
current rating for the electrical outlet
that the charge cord is connected
to. When the vehicle is plugged in using the portable charge cord, on
the Charge Mode tab, toggle the
Charge Limit selection between:
.
12 amps
. 8 amps
Exact current levels may vary from
the values shown in this manual.
Check the vehicle for the current
available levels. When the vehicle is
plugged into a charging station, the
Charge Limit option on the Charge
Mode tab will not be available.
The Charge Limit can be changed
and saved using Location Based
Charging settings. The default value
is the lower current limit. The
Charge Limit will reset to the lower
value when the vehicle is shifted
from P (Park) unless the Location
Based Charging feature is active
and set to retain this preference.
See “Location Based Charging” later
in this section.
{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
lowest charge level if the
electrical circuit or electrical outlet
capacity is not known.
Electric Rate Preference
The vehicle estimates the charging
start time based on the utility rate
schedule, utility rate preference, and
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.
If the selected charge mode is
Departure, then electric rate
preference selection will display.
