General Information
The vehicle is also equipped with a Battery Management
System that is designed to:
•Ensure safe operation
• Maximize driving range
• Maximize the life expectancy of the high voltage battery
NOTE:
• During vehicle start up and shut down a clicking noise
may be heard from within the vehicle. When the ignition
is in the ON position, the high voltage battery contactors
inside the battery are closed to make the stored electric-
ity inside available for vehicle use. The clicking noise
heard is the sound of these contactors as they open and
close during normal operation.
• In extreme temperatures, high or low, the High Voltage
Battery may need to be conditioned and therefore may
require the vehicle to be plugged-in. When the vehicle is
not plugged-in, the following message, “Plug In Vehicle
for Battery Conditioning” might appear in the instru-
ment cluster display. When the High Voltage Battery is
not ready to crank the vehicle at start up, due to
conditions including extreme temperatures, the message
“Battery Conditioning Leave Ignition In Run” will be displayed in the instrument cluster display. Keep the
ignition in the ON/RUN position for the battery to
recover. Switch the ignition back to the OFF position
when the message disappears, and then start the vehicle.
When the “Battery Conditioning Leave Ignition in Run”
message is displayed on the instrument cluster display,
do not operate any air conditioning controls.
• Under cold or hot temperatures, while the vehicle is
plugged-in and the ignition is in the OFF position, the
vehicle may wake-up to pre-condition the high voltage
battery for usage.

•It is recommended that the vehicle be plugged-in over
night where possible to maximize the electric range of
the vehicle.
The message will only be displayed when the ignition is in
the RUN position, or if there was a failed attempt to
achieve READY state when the High Voltage Battery cell
temperatures are either too cold, or too hot.HIGH VOLTAGE CHARGING OPERATION
SAE J1772 Charging Inlet
Your vehicle uses an industry standard SAE J1772 charge
inlet (vehicle charge inlet) for both AC Level 1 (120V) and
AC Level 2 (240V) charging.

Charging Times
The following factors determine the time it takes to charge
the high voltage battery:
•The high voltage battery’s current state of charge
• The type of EVSE used (Level 1 - 120V or Level 2 – 240V)
• Ambient temperature
• Whether the vehicle is ON during charging
NOTE:
• The charging times below are estimates based on charg-
ing a high voltage battery that has a <1% SOC value
displayed in the instrument cluster. •
Charging times will vary based on the age, condition,
state of charge, available current being provided to the
charger from its energy source, and temperature of the
high voltage battery.
• Charging times may be longer if a thermal self-
protection reduces the charging current from the EVSE.
• If the vehicle’s ignition is in either the ACC or RUN
position, the vehicle charge indicator may not indicate
greater than a 99% state of charge, and will continue to
charge the vehicle, due to the vehicle loads.
Type of EVSE Estimated Charge Time
Level 1 (120V/15A) Approximately 14 hours
Level 2 (240V/30A or 32A)Approximately 2 hours

Vehicle Charge Indicators
Instrument Cluster High Voltage Battery Display
There is a battery display indicator located on the instru-
ment cluster. The battery display will display the current
state of charge for the high voltage battery; with the
percentage value located to the left of the symbol. When
plugged in, the battery symbol also gives the battery level
along with messages about the charge or whether the
system is waiting to charge due to the charge schedule.
These will appear unless there is a charging fault. A green
plug telltale will be shown in the cluster, as well as
applicable messaging when charging.Instrument Panel State Of Charge Indicator
In addition to the battery display, your vehicle is equipped
with a visual state of charge indicator. The state of charge
indicator is made up of five lights that are mounted to the
top center of the instrument panel, which will illuminate
when the vehicle is plugged into the EVSE.
The state of charge indicator provides a visual indication of
the high voltage battery’s charge status during charging.
It’s also used to indicate a charging problem, as well as,
waiting for a schedule charge to begin.

In case the ignition switch does not change with the push
of a button, the key fob may have a low or fully depleted
battery. A low key fob battery can be verified by referring
to the instrument cluster, which will display directions to
follow.
NOTE:
•A low key fob battery condition may be indicated by a
message in the instrument cluster display, or by the LED
light on the key fob. If the LED key fob light no longer
illuminates from key fob button pushes, then the key fob
battery requires replacement.
• The key fob LED light brightness is designed for indoor
light viewing, so the LED light may not be visible in
direct sunlight.
In a situation where the battery is low or fully depleted, a
back up method can be used to operate the ignition switch.
Put the nose side of the key fob (side opposite of the
Emergency Key) against the ENGINE START/STOP button
and push to operate the ignition switch.
To Unlock The Doors
NOTE: Uconnect Settings lets you program the system to
unlock either the driver’s side doors on the first push
(default) or unlock all doors on the first push of the unlock button on the key fob. To change the default setting, refer
to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further infor-
mation.
1st Push Of Key Fob Unlocks
Push and release the unlock button on the key fob once to
unlock the driver front door and sliding door or twice
within five seconds to unlock all doors and liftgate. The
hazard lights will flash to acknowledge the unlock signal.
The illuminated entry system will be activated.First Push Unlock

IGNITION SWITCH
This feature allows the driver to start the vehicle with the
push of a button, as long as the key fob is in the passenger
compartment, and the drivers foot on the brake pedal.
NOTE:This vehicle is equipped with an automatic shut-
down feature. If the vehicle is left in “READY” state
(vehicle running) with shifter in “PARK” for one hour, it
will automatically turn off the vehicle. Notifications have
been designed into this feature to raise awareness of the
timed event. The instrument cluster display will display
“Ready to drive” accompanied with three audible chimes
while exiting. The interior warnings will occur regardless if
the key fob remains in the vehicle or is removed. The horn
will sound three times if the fob is removed from the
vehicle and the ignition state is in “READY” mode. To
restart the vehicle, follow the normal process for starting
your vehicle.
The Keyless Push Button Ignition has four operating
positions; three of which are labeled and will illuminate
when in position. The three positions are OFF, ACC, and
ON/RUN. The fourth position is START: during start, the
RUN indicator will illuminate. NOTE:
•
Pushing ignition Start/Stop button may only activate
the Electric Propulsion System and not start the vehicle’s
engine (if running the engine is not currently required
by the Hybrid system). READYwill show in cluster
whenever vehicle is operating in EV (Electric Vehicle)
Mode and the vehicle is stationary.
• If the vehicle ignition is in either ACC or RUN, the
vehicle charge indicator may not display a value greater
than 99% state of charge due to vehicle loads.

The ignition can be placed in the following positions:
OFF
•The vehicle is stopped.
• Some electrical devices are available.
ACC
• Some electrical devices are available.
• Mechanical power (Vehicle Propulsion) is not available.
ON/RUN
• Driving position.
• All the electrical devices are available.
• As long as the READYappears in the instrument
cluster display it does not matter if the engine is running
or not, vehicle propulsion is available.
NOTE: Vehicle propulsion is only available after the ve-
hicle has passed through the START position. Conditions Causing Engine To Run
•
Maintaining Hybrid Battery SOC
• Provide Maximum Vehicle Acceleration
• Provide Maximum Passenger Compartment Heating
• Maintain Exhaust System Catalyst Temperature (after
engine start in current ignition cycle - emissions require-
ment)
• Engine Temporarily Operating in “Fuel and Oil Mainte-
nance Mode”
• Hood Opened with Ignition in Run Post-Start Mode
(eliminate unexpected engine start-ups)
In case the ignition switch does not change with the push
of a button, the key fob may have a low or dead battery. In
this situation, a back up method can be used to operate the
ignition switch. Put the nose side (side opposite of the
emergency key) of the key fob against the ENGINE
START/STOP button and push to operate the ignition
switch.
