When the top right quadrant is solidly
lit and the bottom right quadrant is
pulsing the charge is between 25-50
percent.

When both right side quadrants are
solidly lit and the bottom left quadrant
is pulsing the charge is between 50-75
percent.

When three quadrants are solidly lit
and the top left quadrant is pulsing the
charge is between 75-100 percent.

When the entire ring is solidly lit, the
charge is complete.

Note: The illuminated ring will shut off one
minute after reaching a full charge.

Note: If a vehicle charging system fault is
detected at any point in a charge cycle the
entire light ring will flash continuously for
one minute and then shut off. If this
happens unplug, and then re-plug the
charging coupler into the charge port
receptacle. If the problem persists contact
