Warning Lights, Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can signal that
something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair
or replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could prevent
injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly when
the propulsion system is started to indicate
they are working. When one of the warning
lights comes on and stays on while driving,
or when one of the gauges shows there
may be a problem, check the section that
explains what to do. Waiting to do repairs
can be costly and even dangerous.

English Single Battery Gauge Shown, OthersSimilar
This displays the high voltage battery state
of charge. The value at the bottom is an
estimate of how far the vehicle can be
driven on the remaining charge based on
recent driving habits, conditions, and HVAC
usage.
The fill bars shown inside of the gauge
indicate the percentage range as estimated
from current vehicle conditions and climate
settings. The range estimate on the bottom
also may be affected by climate settings,
current vehicle conditions and ambient
conditions. Estimated range may increase
and decrease based on climate control
energy consumption. Driving aggressively through hard
acceleration and/or braking events, excessive
HVAC usage, using heated or cooled seats,
battery preconditioning, and performance
modes can affect vehicle range estimates.
When the high voltage battery state of
charge level gets low, the gauge will change
color to amber. When the charge is very low
the gauge will flash, and the estimated
range value on the bottom will change to
LOW. Additional alerts may display and a
sound may also be heard at low state of
charge.
Power Indicator Gauge
Single Power Indicator Gauge Shown, Others
Similar The power indicator gauge is in the center
of the display to the right of the
speedometer in the Single Gauge layout.
This gauge displays the instantaneous
charge and consumption power of the high
voltage battery. Maximum power
consumption is available when the high
voltage battery is fully charged. During
normal operation, a slight reduction in
consumption power may occur as the high
voltage battery state of charge decreases.
Regenerative Braking
When regenerative braking is active, the
regen battery icon displays and will fill the
lower section of the gauge. The power
indicator gauge value shows the amount of
instantaneous power being regenerated.
Regenerative Power Limited
Regenerative power may be limited when
the high voltage battery is near full charge
or cold. This will affect the vehicle’s
maximum regenerative braking power.

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
