Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Information*
Charging the High-Voltage Battery
Your vehicle has a dual-voltage charging cord in the luggage compartment.
Make sure that the dual-voltage charging cord is completely unwound and
plugged into a dedicated outlet before charging.
Always plug the dual-voltage charging cord into the AC outlet before
connecting the charging coupler into the charge port on your vehicle.
Note: Do not use the 120- or 240-volt dual-voltage charging cord with an
extension cord, two-prong adapter, surge protector, timer or other adapter.
To charge the high-voltage battery:
1. Put the vehicle in park (P).
2. Press the center right edge of the charge port door and then release to open
the door.
3. Plug the charging coupler into the charge port receptacle on your vehicle.
Make sure the button clicks, confirming that you have completely engaged
the coupler.
4. Verify that the dual-voltage charging cord acknowledgment feature activates.
This indicates the beginning of a normal charge cycle. The charge status
indicator illuminates each zone alternately from bottom to top and from bottom
to top again.
5. If using a 240-volt charging station, follow the instructions on the charging
station to begin the charging process.

Charge Status Indicator
The charge status indicator displays how far along the charge is:
When the bottom zone is pulsing, the charge is between 0-20 percent.
When the bottom zone illuminates, and the next is pulsing, the charge is
between 20-40 percent.
When two zones illuminate, and the next is pulsing, the charge is between
40-60 percent.
When three zones illuminate, and the next is pulsing, the charge is between
60-80 percent.
When four zones illuminate, and the top zone is pulsing, the charge is
between 80-100 percent.
When all zones illuminate, the charge is 100 percent.
When charging stops, the charge status indicator shows all completed zones
solidly illuminated up for 30 seconds before turning off.
