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.

124 Instruments and Controls
.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.
(Continued)
Danger (Continued)
.Do not use an electrical
outlet that is on a circuit with
other electrical loads.
Charge Mode Status
Charge Mode Status Screen with
Quick Access Turned On
To view the current charge mode
status in the infotainment display,
touch Energy in the infotainment
display and then touch Charging at
the top of the display.
Portable Cord Limit and Charge
Overrides displays may not be
displayed if quick access to these
options is not turned on. To turn
quick access for these options on or off, go to the Charging Options
button and press on Portable Cord
Limit or Delayed Charging (then
Charge Overrides) and select Quick
Access.
The charge start and charge
complete time estimates are also
displayed. These estimates are
most accurate when the vehicle is
plugged in and in moderate
temperature conditions.
Charging Options
To view or change charging options,
touch Charging Options on the
Charge Mode Status screen.
Portable Cord Limit
The Portable Cord Limit setting
allows the vehicle’s charge level 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 the Portable Cord Limit
may resolve the issue.

12163007) - 2019 - CRC - 11/5/18
Instruments and Controls 125
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.

132 Instruments and Controls
Impacts
The Impacts screen provides an
estimate of the factors that influence
energy usage since the last full
charge of the high voltage battery.
A positive number is desired to
reach the vehicle’s electric and fuel
economy rating.
.Technique includes speed,
acceleration, & braking. Lower
speeds increase the EV
technique miles, while higher
speeds reduce it.
. Terrain includes road conditions,
such as hills, rain and snow.
External factors like wind will
also positively or negatively impact Terrain. Low tire pressure
will worsen the Terrain
performance.
. Climate Settings includes how
the heating and air condition are
used. Using ECO or Fan Only
settings will help reduce your
climate setting losses. See
Climate Controls 017.
. Outside Temperature includes
the effect that hot or cold air has
on vehicle aerodynamics.
. Miles or Kilometers is the sum
of the individual values.
The individual vehicle range impacts
provide an understanding of how
electric and fuel economy are
different from day-to-day, even when
traveling the same route.
All values are reset after a complete
charge and may not be stable until
approximately 16 km (10 mi) have
been driven. DetailsThe Details screen displays how
energy is being used since the last
time the high voltage battery was
fully charged. It includes Driving and
Accessories, Climate Settings, and
Battery Conditioning. The circle
graph displays these percentages.
The total energy used displays at
the bottom of the screen.
