Energy App
The Energy application gives you access to
features that will help you better
understand and control how the vehicle
manages energy. Along with providing a
central location to determine and review
your Charging preferences, the Energy
application offers live information on how
the vehicle is using energy.
To launch the Energy application from the
Home screen, touch the Energy icon. There
are four sections to choose from: Charging,
Schedule, Energy Usage, and Settings. When
you launch Energy for the first time, the
Charging screen will display.
Charging
To view the current charging status in the
infotainment display, touch Charging.
On the Charging screen, there is a range of
information associated with the next
Charging session, as well as the ability to
specify when you would like to charge the
vehicle. The choices available to charge are
Charge Now or Charge Later.
To create a charge schedule See Creating a
Charge Schedule under Schedule below.
The Charging screen shows and allows for
you to determine how the vehicle will
charge the next time you plug the
vehicle in.
Charge Now
Charge Now is the default charging mode
for your vehicle. The vehicle will begin
charging immediately when it is plugged in
and authenticated at the preferred charging
location.
With Charge Now selected, the Charging
screen displays:
Text explaining that the vehicle will
charge immediately when plugged in.
Charge Level: The percentage to which
you would like the vehicle to charge.
Charge Complete By: The estimated time
at which the vehicle will reach the desired
Charge Level. This is displayed if there is
a longer charge time remaining.
Instruments and Controls
Charge Complete In: The amount of time
required to complete the active charging
session. This is displayed if there is a
shorter charge time remaining.
Range: An estimate of the vehicle s range
upon completing this charging session.
The default is for the vehicle to be set to
charge to 100% when plugged in. To set a
different Charge Level, touch the percentage
shown under Charge Level to display the
Charge Level dialog.
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.
See Hill and Mountain Roads 0 177 for
important information about driving on
grades.
