154 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Delay (Electric Rate and Departure
Time) : The vehicle estimates the
charging start time based on the
utility rate schedule, utility rate
preference, and the programmed
departure time for the current day of
the week. The vehicle will charge
during the least expensive rate periods
to achieve a full battery 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 Limit Selection
The Charge Limit 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 Limit
Preference may resolve the issue.
The Charge Limit Preference should be
configured to match the electrical
current rating for the electrical outlet
that the charge cord is connected to.
The Charge Limit 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.
Check the vehicle for the current
available levels.
The Charge Limit Preference setting
can be changed at any time while the
infotainment display is operable.
For some vehicles, the Charge Limit
Preference must be updated prior to
the vehicle being charged and the
Charge Limit 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 the
electrical circuit capacity. Use the
