50 Seats and Restraints
{Warning
Never allow a child to wear the seat belt
shoulder belt under both arms or behind
their back. A child can be seriously
injured by not wearing the lap-shoulder
belt properly. In a crash, the child would
not be restrained by the shoulder belt.
The child could move too far forward
increasing the chance of head and neck
injury. The child might also slide under
the lap belt. The belt force would then be
applied right on the abdomen. That could
cause serious or fatal injuries. The
shoulder belt should go over the shoulder
and across the chest.
Infants and Young Children
Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This
includes infants and all other children.
Neither the distance traveled nor the age
and size of the traveler changes the need,
for everyone, to use safety restraints. In
fact, the law in every state in the United
States and in every Canadian province says
children up to some age must be restrained
while in a vehicle.
{Warning
Children can be seriously injured or killed
if the shoulder belt is worn behind their
back, under their legs, or wrapped around(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
their neck. The shoulder belt can tighten
but cannot be loosened if it is locked. The
shoulder belt locks when it is pulled all
the way out of the retractor. It unlocks
when the shoulder belt is allowed to go
all the way back into the retractor, but it
cannot do this if it is wrapped around the
child. Never leave children unattended in
a vehicle and never allow children to
improperly wear, or play with, the seat
belts.
Every time infants and young children ride
in vehicles, they should have the protection
provided by appropriate child restraints.
Neither the vehicle's seat belt system nor its
airbag system is designed for them.
Children who are not restrained properly can
strike other people, or can be thrown out of
the vehicle.
{Warning
Never hold an infant or a child while
riding in a vehicle. Due to crash forces, an
infant or a child will become so heavy it (Continued)

Charging Options on the Charging Status
screen.
Level 1-120V Cord Limit
The Level 1-120V Cord Limit setting allows
the vehicle’s charge level to be selected so it
matches the capability of the charging
location. If the vehicle consistently stops
charging after plugging in, or if a circuit
breaker continues to trip, reducing the Level
1-120V Cord Limit may resolve the issue.
The Level 1-120V Cord Limit should be
configured to match the electrical current
rating for the electrical outlet that the
charge cord is connected to. The Level 1-120V
Cord Limit settings are:
.Reduced: Limits AC current to 8 amps
.Maximum: Limits AC current to 12 amps
.Quick Access: When this is on, the setting
is shown on the Charging Status screen
and Level 1-120V Cord Limit can be
accessed from the Charging Status screen.
Exact current levels may vary from the
values shown in this manual. Check the
vehicle for the current available levels.
The Level 1-120V Cord Limit setting resets to
the Reduced 8 amp setting each time the
vehicle is driven. Location Based Charging
can be enabled to maintain the Maximum

section.
The Level 1-120V Cord Limit setting can be
changed at any time while the infotainment
display is operable.
{Warning
Using a charge level that exceeds the
electrical circuit or electrical outlet
capacity may start a fire or damage the
electrical circuit. Use the lowest charge
level until a qualified electrician inspects
the electrical circuit capacity. Use the
lowest charge level if the electrical circuit
or electrical outlet capacity is not known.
Target Charge Level
This mode allows the charging range for the
vehicle to be set based on what is needed.
When at a public pay station and a full
charge is not needed, the target charge level
can be set to only get as much range as
needed. If driving on a hill, the target charge level
can be set to stop the charge before the
battery is full to allow space for energy
from regenerative braking when going down
a hill.
There is a minimum target charge level.
Once this level is reached, the
–will not
allow the target charge level bar move
down further.
Target Charge Level can also be set
separately for Location-Based Home and
Away locations. If available, the Home and
Away buttons will appear on the screen.
When Location Based Charging is active, the
Target Charge Level on the Charging Status
screen will automatically update to the
Home or Away setting based on the current
location.
For quick access to the Target Charge Level,
go to the Charging Status screen and the
Target Charge level displays on the right
side of the screen. The dark horizontal white
line can be dragged up and down to the
desired Target Charge Level. Tapping once
on the Target Charge Level indication or
attempting to change the setting will pop
out a window that shows your current and
projected range.
The main Target Charge Level screen can be
found by pressing Target Charge Level in the
Charging Options.

If the Target Charge Level is higher than
80%, fast charging on the instrument cluster
will show an 80% point, a shaded line up to
the Target Charge Level, a solid line for
current charge level, and the time to
complete 80%.
If the Target Charge Level is less than 80%,
fast charging on the instrument cluster will
show a shaded line up to the Target Charge
Level and the time to complete.
Target Charge Level defaults to 100% if the
12 volt battery becomes discharged.
