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.

KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. The ignition
system consists of a key fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) and a START/STOP push button ignition system.
The Remote Keyless Entry system uses a receiver module
in the vehicle that wirelessly links with the key fob.
NOTE:The key fob may not be found if it is located next to
a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic device; these
devices may block the key fob’s wireless signal.
This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate, activate the Panic Alarm, optional power liftgate,
left power sliding door, and right power sliding door from
distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m) using a key fob.
When any button on the key fob is pushed, or when any
signal is being transferred between the key fob and the
vehicle, an LED light on the key fob will flash as an
indicator. The key fob does not need to be pointed at the
vehicle to activate the system.
NOTE: The emergency key allows for entry into the
vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the key fob go
dead. The emergency key is also for locking/unlocking the glove compartment. You can keep the emergency key with
you when valet parking.

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.

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:
