expensive rate periods to achieve a
full battery charge by the departure
time. Electricity tariff information
from the supply 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 driver to select
their vehicle's charge level so it
matches the capability of their
charging location. The Charge Level
Preference Setting will limit the
electrical current when a portable
charge cord is used. A portable
charge cord is one that connects to
a conventional AC wall outlet on
one end and to the vehicle on the
other end, such as the one provided
with the vehicle. See Charge Cord
on page 9 44. This feature may also
limit charging with the use of any
charging cord/equipment without a
rating of at least 230 V (15 amp). 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.
Instruments and Controls
The Charge Level Preference
should be configured to match the
electrical current rating for the AC
outlet that the charge cord is
connected to. The Charge Level
Preference settings are:
Maximum: Limits AC current to
10 Amps
Reduced: Limits AC current to
6 Amps
Exact current levels for a particular
region may vary from values shown
in this manual. Please check vehicle
for available levels.
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) .
The Charge Level Preference
setting can be changed at any time
while the centre console display is
operable.
