Note: Do not force the charge port door
open or closed. Forcing the door open or
closed damages the charge port.
You can modify the light ring illumination
settings. The light ring located around the
charge port indicates the charge status of
the high voltage battery in your vehicle.
Divided into four quadrants, the charge
port light ring displays the state of charge
in 25 percent increments.
You can press the unlock button on your
key fob to view the charge status of your
vehicle. Based on which quadrants light,
you can determine the current state of
charge. If the charge is below 25 percent,
the light ring does not light. Do not forget
to press the lock button on your key fob to
re-lock your vehicle.
The light ring also displays the current
state of charge when opening the doors.
