Charging
Start Charging
The provided 120-volt portable charge cord
is located in the driver-side storage com-
partment in the cargo area.
1. With the vehicle parked, turn off the
vehicle and select the Charging screen
button at the bottom of the Energy
Summary screen.
2. Review the selected Charge Mode and
Charge Limit. Select the Limit screen
button if an increased charging limit is
desired. Use the reduced charge limit
until a qualified electrician inspects your
home's electrical circuit capacity, or if
the electrical circuit or outlet capacity is
not known.
Note: The charge limit selection returns to the
reduced limit each time the vehicle is driven.
3. Plug the charge cord into an electri-
cal outlet. DO NOT PLUG INTO AN
EXTENSION CORD. Charge cord indica-
tors should be green. Where possible,
secure the charge cord to the wall.
4. Press and release the rear edge of the
charge port door, located just in front
of the driver's door, to open it. Plug the
charge cord into the charge port.
5. The Charge Status indicator on top of the
instrument panel will illuminate green and a tone will sound when properly connected.
6. Periodically check the electrical outlet/plug while charging. Discontinue use if the elec-
trical outlet/plug is hot and have the electrical outlet serviced by a qualified electrician.
If the vehicle is locked with the RKE transmitter, the charge cord theft alert is armed
automatically after 30 seconds.
Note: When the theft alert is armed, the alarm will sound when the plug is disconnected from the
vehicle. To change charge cord theft alert options, go to Energy in the Vehicle Settings menu.
To temporarily override a delayed charge event, remove and reconnect the charge cord
to the vehicle within 5 seconds. It will begin charging immediately.
