START CHARGING

The provided 120 volt portable charge cord
is located in the driver-side storage com-
partment in the cargo area.
1. With the vehicle parked, turn off the
vehicle and select the Charging screen
button at the bottom of the Energy
Summary screen. To turn the Energy
Summary screen display on or off, go
to Charging Options > Energy Summary
Pop-Up.
2. Review the selected Charge Mode
and Charge Limit. Select the Charging
Options screen button if an increased
charging limit is desired. Use the
reduced charge limit until a qualified
electrician inspects your home's electri-
cal circuit capacity, or if the electrical
circuit or outlet capacity is not known.
Note: The charge limit selection returns to the
reduced limit each time the vehicle is driven.
3. Plug the charge cord into an electrical
outlet. DO NOT PLUG INTO AN EXTENSION
CORD. Charge cord indicators should
be green. Where possible, secure the
charge cord to the wall.
4. Press and release the rear edge of the
charge port door, located just in front of
the driver's door, to open it. Plug the charge cord into the charge port.
5. The Charging Status indicator on top of the instrument panel will illuminate green and
a tone will sound when properly connected.
6. Periodically check the electrical outlet/plug while charging. Discontinue use if the
electrical outlet/plug is hot and have the electrical outlet serviced by a qualified
electrician.
If the vehicle is locked with the RKE transmitter, the charge cord theft alert is armed
automatically after 30 seconds.
Note: When the theft alert is armed, the alarm will sound when the plug is disconnected from the
vehicle. To change charge cord theft alert options, go to Settings > Vehicle > Energy.
To temporarily override a delayed charge event, remove and reconnect the charge
cord to the vehicle within 5 seconds. It will begin charging immediately.
