Programmable Charging
Important Information about
Portable Electric Vehicle Charging
. Charging an electric vehicle can
stress a building’ s electrical
system more than a typical
household appliance.
. Before plugging into any
electrical outlet, have a qualified
electrician inspect and verify the
electrical system (electrical
outlet, wiring, junctions, and
protection devices) for
heavy-duty service at a 12 amp
continuous load.
. Electrical outlets may wear out
with normal usage or may be
damaged over time, making
them unsuitable for electric
vehicle charging.
. Check the electrical outlet/plug
while charging and discontinue
use if the electrical outlet/plug is
hot, then have the electrical
outlet serviced by a qualified
electrician.

.When outdoors, plug into an
electrical outlet that is
weatherproof while in use.
. Mount the charging cord to
reduce strain on the electrical
outlet/plug.
{Danger
Improper use of portable electric
vehicle charge cords may cause
a fire, electrical shock, or burns,
and may result in damage to
property, serious injury, or death.
. Do not use extension cords,
multi-outlet power strips,
splitters, grounding
adaptors, surge protectors,
or similar devices.
. Do not use an electrical
outlet that is worn or
damaged, or will not hold
the plug firmly in place.
. Do not use an electrical
outlet that is not properly
grounded.

Portable Cord Limit
The Portable Cord Limit setting

circuit breaker continues to trip,
reducing the Portable Cord Limit
may resolve the issue.

The Portable Cord Limit should be
configured to match the electrical
current rating for the electrical outlet
that the charge cord is connected
to. The Portable Cord Limit
settings are:
.Reduced: Limits AC current to
8 amps
. Maximum: Limits AC current to
12 amps
. Quick Access: When this is on,
the setting is shown on the
Charge Mode Status screen and
Portable Cord Limit can be
accessed from the Charge Mode
Status screen. Exact current levels may vary from
the values shown in this manual.
Check the vehicle for the current
available levels.
The Portable Cord Limit setting
resets to the Reduced 8 amp setting
each time the vehicle is driven.
Location Based Charging can be
enabled to maintain the Maximum
12 amp setting at a specified Home
location. See
“Location Based
Charging” later in this section.
The Portable Cord Limit setting can
be changed at any time while the
infotainment display is operable.
{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.
Displayed Charge Times
This feature determines how the
charge times are displayed on the
Charge Mode Status screen. The
selections for Home and Away can
be different when location based
charging is turned on.
Location Based Charging
This feature allows charging
settings to be customized when the
vehicle is at home or away from
home. The charge mode and charge
level preference will update based
on vehicle location. See “Portable
Cord Limit” earlier in this section.
The charging customization settings
will be the saved home profile
settings at home and will charge
upon plug in when away from home.
