Warning Use caution as the Portable EVSE Cordset AC Power Plug may
be hot. It is recommended to carefully unplug the unit from the wall outlet and allow it to cool down. Attempt to charge the
vehicle at a different wall outlet. Contact a certified electrician
to inspect/replace the wall outlet that was associated with the Hot AC Plug event. Charging will still occur, but at a reduced rate.

FCC Notice:
This unit has systems that operate on a radio frequency
that comply with Part 15 of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. The device may not cause interference.
2. The device must accept any interference received, in-cluding interference that may cause undesired operation
of the device.
Changes or modifications to any of these systems by other
than an authorized service facility could void authorization
to use this equipment.
This unit complies with ICES-003E of Industry Canada,
and EMC Directive 2004/108/EC.
Guidelines for preventing fire and electric shock:
• Ensure the charging cable is positioned so it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
• There are no user serviceable parts inside.
• Do not use the charging cordset if it is visibly damaged.
Contact an authorized dealer for service. •
Do not place fingers, or any other objects inside the
charge connector.
• Do not allow children to operate this device. Adult
supervision is mandatory when children are in proxim-
ity when the charging cordset is in use.
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.
Vehicle Charge Indicators
Instrument Cluster High Voltage Battery Gauge
There is a battery gauge indicator located on the instru-
ment cluster. The battery gauge displays, with progressive
32 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

color indication, the current state of charge for the high
voltage battery; with the percentage value located at the
bottom of the gauge.
Charge Low And Limited Power Messages
The state of charge is monitored during normal operation.
If the state of charge reaches certain thresholds the follow-
ing messages display on the cluster:
•charge low — displayed at 17% (warning displayed for
six seconds). •
charge low — displayed at 11% (Displayed for six
seconds).
• charge low limited power mode — turtle displayed at
5% and remains on.
• charge low limited power mode — turtle flashes at 0%
until condition changes.
NOTE: The limited power mode can also be activated if the
high voltage battery temperature is too high or too low.

NOTE:At 0% state of charge or below the following
features will be disabled if in use:
• Heated Seats
• Electronic Speed Control
• Climate Controls
Instrument Panel State Of Charge Indicator
In addition to the battery gauge 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
center of the instrument panel. The state of charge indicator represents the current state of
charge for the high voltage battery. The state of charge
indicator lights quickly to identify the battery state of
charge while the vehicle is being charged. Each light
represents the battery’s current percentage of charge.
NOTE:
In the event of an error in the charging process the
outer two lights will blink.

AC Level 2 Charging (240V, 30 Amp)
AC Level 2 (240V) charging requires a 240V, Level 2 EVSE
(Charging station). A 30A Level 2 EVSE for home installa-
tion 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.
• Charging Schedule – Check whether the charging sched-
ule is enabled and if so, whether the vehicle is currently
within the scheduled charge time/date. If the charging
schedule is enabled, 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, disconnect the charge con-
nector from the vehicle inlet.
NOTE: Older or non-compliant J1772 EVSE models may
not support charging of your EV. If your vehicle doesn’t
charge, it may be connected to a non-compliant Level 2
EVSE and flashes the indicators. Please identify this failure
to the site operator or EVSE provider.

Charge Times
The following factors determine the time it takes to charge
the high voltage battery:
•The high voltage battery’s current state of charge
• What level EVSE is being used (Level 1 – 120V or Level
2 – 240V)
• Ambient temperature
• Whether the vehicle is (keyed) on during charging
NOTE:
• The charging times are estimates based on a completely
discharged high voltage battery.
• Charging times will vary based on the age, condition,
state of charge and temperature of the high voltage
battery.
• Charging times may be longer if a thermal self-
protection reduces the charging current from the EVSE.
Type of Charge Estimated Charge Time
Level 1 (120V/15A) Approximately 23 hours
Level 2 (240V/30A) Approximately 4 hours
