Waiting to Charge

When you select Value Charge, charging
may not begin upon plugging in. The
vehicle may delay charging to take
advantage of off-peak electricity rates. The
vehicle will optimize the charge schedule
to be complete by the next GO Time.
When waiting to charge (not actively
charging), the light ring will indicate the
present state of charge of the high voltage
battery as follows:
When the top right quadrant light is off,
the charge is between 0–25 percent.
When the top right quadrant light is on
and the bottom right quadrant is off,
the charge is between 25–50 percent.
When both right side quadrant lights
are on and the bottom left quadrant is
off, the charge is between 50–75
percent.
When three quadrant lights are on and
the top left quadrant is off, the charge
is between 75–100 percent.
When all lights on the entire ring are
on, the charge is 100 percent.
Note: When the vehicle is waiting to charge,
the light ring will turn off one minute after
displaying the present state of charge. When
the vehicle automatically begins charging,
the light ring will turn on and display how
far along the charge is per the section above.
Note: If the system detects a vehicle
charging system fault at any point in a
charge cycle, the entire light ring will flash
continuously for one minute and then turn
off. If this happens, unplug the charging
coupler and then plug it back into the charge
port receptacle. If the problem persists,
contact an authorized dealer.
You can modify the light ring lighting
conditions by using the touchscreen
system.
