is turned on to show that the light is
working. If it does not come on then, have
it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if
there is a problem.

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.
