.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

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

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.

Battery Load Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management
(EPM) that estimates the battery
temperature and state of charge. It then
adjusts the voltage for best performance
and extended life of the 12-volt battery.
When the battery state of charge is low, the
voltage is raised slightly to quickly increase
the charge. When the state of charge is
high, the voltage is lowered slightly to
prevent over charging. As this adjustment
occurs, you may see the voltage move up or
down on the voltmeter gauge or voltage
display on the Driver Information Center
(DIC), if equipped. This is normal. If a
problem occurs, an alert will be displayed.
If the electrical loads are very high, the
battery can be discharged when the vehicle
is stationary. A high electrical load occurs
when several features are on, such as:
headlamps, high beams, rear window
defogger, climate control fan at high speed,
heated seats, motor cooling fans, trailer
loads, and loads plugged into accessory
power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of
the battery by balancing the electrical
system output and the vehicle's electrical needs. In some cases, it can temporarily
reduce the power demands of some
accessories.
These actions occur in steps or levels
without being noticeable. In rare cases at
the highest levels of corrective action, this
action may be noticeable to the driver. If so,
a DIC battery voltage and charging message
displays. It is recommended that the driver
reduce the electrical loads as much as
possible. See
Driver Information Center (DIC)
(Base Level) 0129 or
Driver Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel)
0 130.
Battery Power Protection
This feature helps prevent the battery from
being drained if the interior courtesy lamps
or reading lamps are accidentally left on.
If any of these lamps are left on, they
automatically turn off after 10 minutes when
the vehicle is turned off. The lamps will not
come back on again until one of the
following occurs:
.The vehicle is started.
.The doors are closed and then re-opened.

reduce interference, some static can occur,
especially around tall buildings or hills,
causing the sound to fade in and out.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater
than for FM, especially at night. The longer
range can cause station frequencies to
interfere with each other. Static can also
occur when things like storms and power
lines interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble on the
radio.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
If equipped, SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
provides digital radio reception. Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with satellite
radio signals, causing the sound to fade in
and out. In addition, traveling or standing
under heavy foliage, bridges, garages,
or tunnels may cause loss of the SiriusXM
signal for a period of time. Some cellular
services may interfere with SXM reception
causing loss of signal.
Mobile Device Usage
Mobile device usage, such as making or
receiving calls, charging, or just having the
mobile device on may cause static
interference in the radio. Unplug the mobile
device or turn it off if this happens.
Multi-Band Antenna
The multi-band roof antenna may be used
for radio, navigation, and other
communication systems, depending on the
equipped options. To ensure clear reception,
keep the antenna clear of obstructions, such
as snow and ice. If the vehicle has a
sunroof, and it is open, or a roof loaded
with cargo, reception may be affected.
