Seats and Restraints 49
If the airbag readiness light stays on after
the vehicle is started or comes on when you
are driving, the airbag system may not work
properly. Have the vehicle serviced right
away. SeeAirbag Readiness Light 083.
Child Restraints
Older Children
Older children who have outgrown booster
seats should wear the vehicle’s seat belts.
The manufacturer instructions that come
with the booster seat state the weight and
height limitations for that booster. Use a
booster seat with a lap-shoulder belt until
the child passes the fit test below:
.Sit all the way back on the seat. Do the
knees bend at the seat edge? If yes,
continue. If no, return to the booster seat.
.Buckle the lap-shoulder belt. Does the
shoulder belt rest on the shoulder? If yes,
continue. If no, try using the rear seat
belt comfort guide, if available. See “Rear
Seat Belt Comfort Guides” under
Lap-Shoulder Belt 035. If a comfort guide
is not available, or if the shoulder belt
still does not rest on the shoulder, then
return to the booster seat.
.Does the lap belt fit low and snug on the
hips, touching the thighs? If yes, continue.
If no, return to the booster seat.
.Can proper seat belt fit be maintained for
the length of the trip? If yes, continue.
If no, return to the booster seat.
Q: What is the proper way to wear seat belts?
A: An older child should wear a lap-shoulder
belt and get the additional restraint a
shoulder belt can provide. The shoulder
belt should not cross the face or neck.
The lap belt should fit snugly below the
hips, just touching the top of the thighs.
This applies belt force to the child's
pelvic bones in a crash. It should never be worn over the abdomen, which could
cause severe or even fatal internal
injuries in a crash.
Also see “Rear Seat Belt Comfort Guides”
under Lap-Shoulder Belt 035.
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in a rear
seating position.
In a crash, children who are not buckled up
can strike other people who are buckled up,
or can be thrown out of the vehicle. Older
children need to use seat belts properly.
{Warning
Never allow more than one child to wear
the same seat belt. The seat belt cannot
properly spread the impact forces. In a
crash, they can be crushed together and
seriously injured. A seat belt must be
used by only one person at a time.

messages indicating success or error during
and after the download and installation
processes.
Downloading Over-the-Air vehicle software
updates requires Internet connectivity, which

These time estimates are applicable to
nominal temperature ranges. In extreme hot
or cold conditions, this time may be
lengthened. A full charge will take
additional time.
The charging system may run fans and
pumps that result in sounds from the
vehicle while it is turned off. Additionally,
clicking sounds may be caused by the
electrical devices used while charging. The vehicle does not require indoor charging
area ventilation before, during, or after
charging.
The vehicle cannot be driven while the
charge cord is plugged into the vehicle.
Caution
To avoid damage to the vehicle, make
sure the charging cord plug is in good
condition, is not worn or damaged, and is
connected securely to the vehicle's
charging port. If vehicle charging is
intermittent, disconnect the cord and
inspect for damage. An excessively worn
or damaged AC or DC charging cord plug

DC Charging (If Equipped)
DC Charging Station Hardware
Check the charge station DC vehicle plug for
compatibility with the DC charge port on
this vehicle. When recharging at a DC charge
station, the charging cable connected to the
vehicle must be less than 10 m (33 ft) in
length to meet functionality and regulatory
requirement.
Follow the steps listed on the charging
station to perform a DC vehicle charge.
If for any reason DC charging does not
begin or is interrupted, check the DC charge
station display for messages. Unplug to
restart the DC charge process.
Start Charge1. Make sure the vehicle is parked.
2. Push the rearward edge of the charge port door and release to open the door.
In cold weather conditions, ice may form
around the charge port door. The charge
port door may not open on the first
attempt. Remove ice from the area and
repeat attempting to open the charge
port door.
3. Unlatch the DC charging dust cover andlower it fully.
4. Plug in the DC vehicle plug into the DC charge port on the vehicle. Make sure
that the DC vehicle plug is fully
connected to the DC charge port. If it is
not properly seated then the charge may
not occur. Proper plug connection can be
checked by information on the DIC.
5. Follow the steps listed on the charging station to start charging.
6. Once charging, the DC vehicle plug will be locked to the DC charge port and
cannot be disconnected while charging is
active. 7. Verify that the Charging Status Indicator
illuminates on top of the instrument
panel and an audible chirp occurs. See
Charging Status Feedback 0204.
Caution
Do not attempt to disconnect the DC
vehicle plug while charging is active. This
action may damage the vehicle or
charging station hardware.
Stop Charge
Controls on the charging station can be used
to stop the charge process at any time.
To stop the charge when inside the vehicle,
use the Stop button on the Charging screen,
or press the button on top of the AC vehicle
cord handle.
Stop Charge —Automatic
When the vehicle no longer needs to use
power from the charging station, it will stop
charging and the DC vehicle plug will be
unlocked from the DC charge port.
Energy can still be consumed from the
charging station when the vehicle’s displays
and indicators show that the battery is fully
charged. This is to ensure the battery is in

Utility Interruption of Charging
This vehicle will respond to requests through
the utility company to limit or completely
block electrical power grid usage. This
feature is inactive during DC charging.
A utility interruption of charging will
lengthen the vehicle charge time.
When electrical grid power is completely
blocked, the vehicle will delay charging until
the utility interruption has expired. The
vehicle should be left plugged in so that the
vehicle can automatically begin charging. Changing the charge mode to Immediate or
performing a delayed charging override will
not disable a utility interruption. Unplugging
and plugging the car back in will also not
disable a utility interruption.
A pop-up will appear in the infotainment
display while starting the vehicle following
any utility interruption. See
“Charging
Interrupted or Overridden Pop-Up” under
Programmable Charging 090.
A message will display on the instrument
cluster indicating that a utility interruption
has occurred.
