GENERAL INFORMATION

CHARGING THE HIGH

VOLTAGE BATTERY - PLUG-IN

HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE

(PHEV)

WARNING: This battery pack

should only be serviced by an authorized

electric vehicle technician. Improper

handling can result in personal injury or

death.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS^{(If Equipped)}

WARNING: Apply the parking

brake, shift into park (P), switch the

ignition off and remove the key before

you open the hood or have any service

or repair work completed. If you do not

switch the ignition off, the engine could

restart at any time. Failure to follow this

instruction could result in personal injury

or death.

WARNING: This equipment has

arcing or sparking parts. Do not expose

to flammable vapors. Position this

equipment at least 450 mm (18 in)

above the floor.

RISK OF FIRE or ELECTRIC SHOCK

WARNING: Do not touch the

electronic ignition system parts after you

have switched the ignition on or when

the engine is running. The system

operates at high voltage. Failure to

adhere to this warning could result in

serious personal injury or death.

WARNING: The AC wall plug must

fit firmly into the AC outlet. If the

connection feels loose, worn or the AC

outlet is damaged, please have a

qualified electrician replace the AC

outlet. Using a dual-voltage charging

cord with a worn outlet may cause burns,

property damage and increase the risk

of electric shock or fire.

WARNING: Keep your hands and

clothing clear of the engine cooling fan.

WARNING: Do not use the 240 V

convenience cord with an extension cord,

two-prong adapter, surge protector,

timer or other adapter. Failure to follow

this instruction could result in electric

shock or fire.

Note: The high-voltage battery does not

require regular service maintenance.

Your vehicle consists of various

high-voltage components and wiring. All

of the high-voltage power flows through

specific wiring assemblies labeled as such

or covered with a solid orange convolute,

or orange striped tape, or both. Do not

come in contact with these components.

WARNING: Do not allow charging

equipment to be immersed in water or

liquids. Failure to follow this warning

could result in fire, electric shock, or

serious personal injury or death.

The high-voltage battery pack contains a

lithium-ion battery. The pack is underneath

the vehicle. The high-voltage battery

system uses an advanced liquid heating

and cooling system to regulate the

Note: If the charge status indicator does

not light up or pulse after plugging in, please

verify that the charge port light setting is on.

If you do not wish to have the charge status

indicator light up at all while charging, then

you can turn it off. See charge port light

under vehicle settings on your touchscreen.

See SYNC™ 3 (page 440).

Note: Charging faults are identified by the

color orange on the charge status indicator.

Faults can occur within the vehicle charging

system or outside the vehicle, such as with

the charge cord, charge station or electrical

supply.

Note: If the system detects a fault in the

vehicle charging system at any point in a

charge cycle, the entire charge status

indicator lights up solidly in orange color for

30 seconds and then turns off. If this

happens, unplug the charging coupler and

then plug it back into the charge port

receptacle. If the problem persists, contact

your dealer.

Note: If the system detects a fault outside

the vehicle, such as with the charge station

or charge cord, the entire charge status

indicator flashes continuously for 30

seconds and then turns off. If this happens,

check the charge cord and the charge

station or electrical supply.

When waiting to charge, plugged in and

not currently charging, the charge status

indicator shows the present state of charge

of the high voltage battery by lighting up

all completed zones for 30 seconds before

turning off. For example, if the battery is at

70 percent charge, then the bottom three

zones solidly light up to indicate a battery

charge level of at least 60 percent but less

than 80 percent. Consequently, when the

current state of charge is less than 20

percent, none of the zones light up.

Note: Do not use excesive force to

disconnect the coupler. This could damage

the charge port and the coupler.

Note: Select charge settings on the home

page of your touchscreen or under the

vehicle settings menu to access charge

preferences. See SYNC™ 3 (page 440).

Note: When your vehicle is waiting to

charge, the charge status indicator turns off

30 seconds after displaying the present

state of charge. When your vehicle begins

charging, the charge status indicator turns

on and displays the charging progress.

cord.

Note: If you are still unable to disconnect

the charging coupler after trying the cord

unlock buttons at the port and on your
