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.

Power Flow paths are indicated by the direction of the
arrows on the touchscreen.
Driving History
The second screen in the “Hybrid Electric Pages” App is
the Driving History screen. The Driving History screen
shows the miles (km) driven in both Full Electric and
Hybrid modes for both the previous week and the current
week. The data is displayed in a bar graph: Electric Mode
in teal and Hyrbid Mode in blue.
On the bar graph, miles (km) driven on the same day in
Electric mode (battery only) are always shown below miles
(km) driven in Hybrid mode. When one day of the week
exceeds 100 miles (160 km) driven, the values of miles (km)
driven in Electric and Hybrid modes will be listed above
the bar graph in respective colors (teal for Electric and blue
for Hybrid).

NOTE:If the vehicle is plugged in outside of the charging
schedule set in the Uconnect 4C radio, the vehicle’s battery
will not charge. Charging will only begin immediately if
the vehicle is plugged in within the time and day of the
week set in the schedule. Otherwise, charging will auto-
matically begin when the selected charge time/day of the
week occurs or whenever the vehicle is plugged in with no
charge schedule set.
If the vehicle is turned off outside of the charging window,
a radio pop-up message will be displayed, which provides
an option to begin charging the vehicle immediately. The
pop-up message asks the driver if they would like to “Charge Now?” and provides other information, including
the next charging schedule start time and estimated time to
charge the battery to 100%. If within one hour of selecting
“Yes,” the vehicle is connected to a powered EVSE, the
vehicle will immediately begin to charge (temporarily
ignoring any set charge schedule). To fully deactivate the
charge schedule, refer to the “Charging Schedule” feature
within the “Hybrid Electric Pages” App.
The charging schedule can also be overridden if the EVSE
is plugged in, unplugged, and then plugged in a second
time to the vehicle. This “double plugged-in” feature will
override the schedule that is set in the radio, and begin
charging the vehicle immediately. The double plug se-
quence must be completed within ten seconds for it to
override the programed schedule.
If charge to full is selected, and the vehicle is plugged in
after the start time of the schedule, the vehicle will start
charging when it reaches the start time the next day. If you
would like to begin charging immediately, and continue
charging until the vehicle is fully charged, you can select
the “Charge Now” option.

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.

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.

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)

WARNING!
•When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob
from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle.
• Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others
could be seriously or fatally injured. Children
should be warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in
a location accessible to children, and do not leave the
ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-
N-Go in the RUN mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside parked
vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up may
cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation. Always remove
the key from the ignition and lock all the doors when
leaving the vehicle unattended.
NOTE: If the brake is pressed and the ignition is placed in
the RUN position with an EVSE connected to the vehicle,
the instrument cluster will not display the Ready state.
When the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) is
unplugged from the vehicle, the vehicle will go into the
“Ready” state. If the vehicle is not shifted out of Park 30
minutes after being unplugged, the vehicle will disable the
“Ready” state. After an additional 30 minutes with no
change in Ignition status, the Ignition shall go to OFF and
