Utility Rate Charging
The vehicle estimates the charging start
time based on the utility rate schedule,
utility rate preference, and programmed
departure time for the current day of the
week. The vehicle will charge during the
least expensive rate periods to achieve a full
battery charge by the departure time. Utility
rate information from the utility company
for the charging location is required for
this mode.
Select one of the following:
Charge Rate Preference
Touch one of the following options to select
the Charge Rate Preference:
.Off-Peak Only: The vehicle will only
charge during Off-Peak rate periods.
.Mid-Peak, Off-Peak: The vehicle will
charge during Off-Peak and/or Mid-Peak
rate periods only and will select when to
charge to minimize the total cost of the
charge.
.Peak, Mid-Peak, Off-Peak: The vehicle can
charge during any rate period to satisfy
the next planned departure time.
However, it will select when to charge to
minimize the total cost of the charge.
Charging begins at the start time and is
complete by the departure time only if
sufficient time is allowed after the charge
cord is plugged in. For example, if the
vehicle is plugged in for only one hour prior
to the departure time, and the battery is
completely discharged, the vehicle will not
be fully charged by the departure time
regardless of the rate selection.
Also, if the selected utility rate settings
result in a very long charge completion
time, the vehicle will start charging
immediately upon plug-in. For example,
if the utility rate table is set up with all
Peak rates and the rate preference is to

Propulsion Power Messages
PROPULSION POWER IS REDUCED
This message displays when the vehicle's
propulsion power is reduced. A reduction in
propulsion power can affect the vehicle's
ability to accelerate. If this message is on,
but there is no observed reduction in
performance, proceed to your destination.
Under certain conditions the performance
may be reduced the next time the vehicle is
driven. The vehicle may be driven while this
message is on, but maximum acceleration
and speed may be reduced. Anytime this
message stays on, or displays repeatedly,
the vehicle should be taken to your dealer
for service as soon as possible.
Under certain operating conditions
propulsion will be disabled. Try restarting
after the vehicle has been off for
30 seconds.
PROPULSION POWER REDUCED DUE TO
