Note: Your electrical source must meet certain requirements for the
high-voltage battery to charge. The AC outlet must be a three-prong
110-120 volt AC outlet that is properly grounded, 15–20 amps (or
greater), and in good condition. The line also must be dedicated, which
means that no other appliances should be connected to the same circuit.
If a dedicated circuit is not used, the circuit breaker could trip or open.
If a dedicated circuit is not available, contact a licensed professional
electrician for proper installation.
Note: The vehicle must be in (P) park to charge the high-voltage
battery.
Make sure that the 120 volt
convenience cord is completely
unwound before charging. Always
plug the cord into the AC outlet
before connecting the charging
coupler into the vehicle’s charge
port receptacle. The 120 volt
convenience cord inline control box
has three indicator lights that
represent the charging status;
power, charge and fault.
The charge port is located between the front left side door and front left
wheel well. There is an indentation located on the charge port door that
allows you to press to open and press to close the door.
Power (green light) — this indicator lights up when the cord is plugged
into the AC wall outlet.
Charge (green light) — Indicates status of charging:
• No light means the cord is not connected to the vehicle.
• Blinking light means that the charging is in process.
• Solid light means that the vehicle is connected but not charging.
Fault (red triangle light) — Lights up in case of a detected failure. No
charging is possible:
• Blinking red triangle light – means that the 120 volt convenience cord
is trying to reset the failure and could restart the charging cycle.
• Solid red triangle light – means that the fault is permanent. The cord
needs to be unplugged and re-plugged to reset the fault. If the fault
persists, contact your authorized dealer.
