charge by the departure time.
Electrical rate information from the
utility company for the charging
location is required for this mode.
Also, if the selected electric rate
settings result in a very long charge
completion time, the vehicle will
start charging immediately upon
plug-in. For example, if the electric
rate table is set up with all Peak
rates and the rate preference is to
charge during Off-Peak rates only,
then the vehicle will start charging
immediately upon plug-in.
Charge Level Selection
The Charge Level Preference
setting allows the customer to select
their vehicle s charge level so it
matches the capability of their
charging location. If the vehicle
consistently stops charging after
plugging in, or if a circuit breaker
continues to trip, reducing to a lower
Charge Level Preference may
resolve the issue.
The Charge Level Preference
should be configured to match the
electrical current rating for the
electrical outlet that the charge cord
is connected to. The Charge Level
Preference settings are:
Maximum: Limits AC current to
12 amps
Reduced: Limits AC current to
8 amps
Exact current levels may vary from
the values shown in this manual.
Please check the vehicle for the
current available levels.
The Charge Level Preference
setting can be changed at any time
while the center stack display is
operable.

Instruments and Controls
For some vehicles, the Charge
Level Preference must be updated
prior to the vehicle being charged
and the Charge Level Preference
will reset to a default value when the
vehicle is shifted from P (Park).
Warning
Using a charge level that exceeds
the electrical circuit or electrical
outlet capacity may start a fire or
damage the electrical circuit. Use
the lowest charge level until a
qualified electrician inspects your
electrical circuit capacity. Use the
lowest charge level if the
electrical circuit or electrical outlet
capacity is not known.
