You can use your keyfob to view the vehicles charge status at any
time by pressing the unlock button. The light ring will light up the
corresponding quadrant(s) so that the current state of charge can be
determined. If the charge is below 25 percent the light ring will not
illuminate. Don’t forget to press the lock button on your keyfob to
re-lock the vehicle.
The light ring will also display the current state of charge when opening
the doors.
