Driving and operating
Priority charging
The priority charging feature will work
when the Departure charge mode is
selected. This feature is designed to
ensure that the high voltage battery
pack has a minimal amount of energy
prior to delaying a charge. Upon
completion of priority charging the
vehicle will return to normal
programmable charging operation.
The feature can be enabled or
disabled by selecting On or Off from
the Charge mode screen when the
Departure charge mode is selected.
When enabled, priority charging will
only prevent programmable charging
while the high voltage battery is
recharged from a depleted state to a
level allowing 40% of the driving
range.
Temporary charge mode override
and cancel
To temporarily override a delayed
charge event, unplug the charge cord
from the charge port and then plug it
back in within five seconds. A single
audible chirp will sound and charging
will begin immediately.
