Seats and Restraints 71
{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
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 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.

Charge Now
Charge Now is the default charging mode
for your vehicle. The vehicle begins charging
immediately when it is plugged in and
authenticated at the charging location.
With Charge Now selected, the Charging
screen displays:
.Text explaining that the vehicle will
charge immediately when plugged in.
.Charge Complete by/in: The estimated
time at which the vehicle will reach the
desired Charge Level.
.Target Charge Level Gauge: Sets
the percentage at which the vehicle will
stop charging. The gauge also displays an
estimate of the vehicle's range upon
completing the charging session.
{Warning
Do not charge your vehicle’s battery
above an 80% charge if you are going to
drive down long, steep grades such as
mountain passes. This provides room in
the battery for regenerative braking to
supplement your conventional brakes
during the descent. This is especially
important when towing a trailer, which
puts additional stress on your vehicle’s
braking system.
SeeHill and Mountain Roads 0190 for
important information about driving on
grades.
The default charge level is 100% when
plugged in. To set a different charge level,
drag the circular marker on the Target
Charge Level Gauge to the preferred value.
To lower the desired Charge Level, drag the
Charge Level marker counterclockwise, and
to increase it drag the marker clockwise. The
Charge Level can also be changed by
tapping
«andªinside the gauge on the
screen. The Range estimate updates once
the desired Charge Level is set. To optimize
battery health, the minimum allowable
Charge Level is determined by the vehicle. Charge Later
Instead of charging immediately to a desired
Charge Level, you may choose to delay the
charge to the vehicle and have it complete
by your desired departure time. This may be
a more economical choice and a more
efficient use of energy when charging at
home. To use this mode, touch the Charge
Later tab from the Next Charge screen.
With Charge Later selected, the Charging
screen displays:
.Text explaining that your vehicle will
delay the planned charge to be ready by
the time specified.
.Time Selector: Used to set the desired
time at which the vehicle will finish
charging and be ready for departure.

.Target Charge Level Gauge: Sets
the percentage at which the vehicle will
stop charging. The gauge also displays an
estimate of the vehicle's range upon
completing the charging session.
.Preconditioning: Allows the vehicle to
heat or cool the cabin to your desired
temperature using energy from the
charger. This means energy from the
battery is not used to condition the cabin,
ensuring the vehicle gets the maximum
range from the charging session.
Preconditioning happens at the end of the
charge, and right before the
departure time.
To set the time at which the vehicle will
complete the charge and be ready for
departure:
Swipe up or down on each value within the
Time Selector until the preferred time is
selected. If the desired Charge Level cannot
be reached by the selected time, a message
will display that one of the two preferences
will need to be adjusted.
To adjust desired Charge Level in Charge
Later mode, see “Charge Now”earlier in this
section. Setting the Preconditioning preference:
Touch the switch to turn on Preconditioning.
Cabin Preconditioning temperature can be
adjusted by touching Preconditioning on this
screen, or in Settings.
Active Charging
During an active charging session, the
Charging screen displays and continuously
updates the following items:
.Text indicating the vehicle’s current
charging status.
.Current Range: The range the vehicle is
capable of driving at the current charge
level.
.Range Increase Rate: How much range is
accumulating per hour of charging.
.Charge Complete at/in: The estimated
time at which the vehicle will reach the
desired Charge Level.
.Target Charge Level Gauge: During an
Active Charge, the gauge displays the
vehicle's current Charge Level as
a percentage and a colored section of the
circular gauge to represent this value.
To update the desired Charge Level for the
active charging session, drag the marker on
the Target Charge Level Gauge.
Touching the Stop Charge button at any
time ends the active charging session. For
information on beginning a charging session,
see Plug-In Charging 0278.
For Level 1 chargers, you can also select the
appropriate Charge Cord Limit of either
8 amps or 12 amps. This determines how
much current can flow from an electrical
outlet to the vehicle battery. It also ensures
proper charge time estimates.
When the Charge Cord Limit is changed
from 8 amps to 12 amps on a 120V circuit a
notification is displayed.
If no Home Charge Location is set, the Level
1 Cord Limit will revert to 8 amps every
time the vehicle is shifted out of (P) Park.
Range and charge time estimates fluctuate
depending on a number of factors such as
Charge Cord Level/Limit, battery
