NOTE:During normal operation, the charge connector or
AC plug may feel warm. If either one feels hot during
charging, unplug the charging cordset and have a qualified
electrician inspect the wall receptacle before you continue
charging.
WARNING!
Do not use the charging cordset with a receptacle that
is worn or damaged. Using the charging cordset with a
worn or damaged receptacle may cause burns or start a
fire.
AC Level 2 Charging (240V, 30 Amp Or 32 Amp)
AC Level 2 (240 V) charging requires a 240 V, Level 2 EVSE
(Charging station). A 30 Amp or 32 Amp Level 2 EVSE for
home installation is recommended.
When using public charging stations, ensure the charging
station is ready to provide charge and the vehicle is in
PARK before the charge connector is plugged into the
vehicle’s charge inlet. You will hear a “click” when the
charge connector is inserted correctly and is coupled with
the vehicle’s charge inlet. The vehicle should start charging
automatically. If not, please check the instructions at the
charging station. NOTE:
The vehicle should start charging automatically. If
not, please check the following:
• Charging Station – Check the indications and instruc-
tions at the charging station or
• Charging Schedule – Check whether the charging sched-
ule is enabled and if so, whether the vehicle is currently
within the scheduled charge time/day (weekday/
weekend). If the charging schedule is enabled within the
vehicle, you may override them for this charging event
by plugging in the charge connector, unplugging it, and
then plugging it back into the vehicle charge inlet.
Complete the double plug sequence within ten seconds
for it to override the set schedule.
To stop the charging process:
• Press the “STOP” button located on the front of the
EVSE station.
• Press the button on the charge connector first and then
remove the connector from the vehicle charge inlet.
• Plug the charge handle into the EVSE station and coil the
charging cord onto its holder. Do not leave the charging
cord laying on the ground.

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.
