Charging Override
To temporarily override a delayed charge event, unplug the charge cord from the charge port and then plug it back in within five seconds. A single audible chirp will sound and charging will begin immediately. To cancel a temporary override, unplug the charge cord, wait for 10 seconds, and then plug the charge cord back in. A double audible chirp will sound and charging will be delayed. See Programmable Charging 0 94 for advanced charge scheduling options.
Charging Status Feedback
The vehicle has a Charging Status Indicator (CSI) at the center of the instrument panel near the windshield. When the vehicle is plugged in and vehicle power is off, the CSI indicates the following:
- Short Flashing Green – Vehicle is plugged in. Battery is not fully charged. Flash rate increases from one to four flashes as battery charges.
- One Flash: 0–25% Charge
- Two Flashes: 26–50% Charge
- Three Flashes: 51–75% Charge
- Four Flashes: 76–100 Charge
- Long Flashing Green – The vehicle is plugged in. The battery is not fully charged. Battery charging is delayed.. Solid Green – Vehicle is plugged in.
Battery is fully charged. - Solid Yellow – Vehicle is plugged in. It is normal for the CSI to turn yellow for a few seconds after plugging in a compatible charge cord. The CSI may stay solid yellow longer depending on the vehicle and if there is a total utility interruption. See Utility Interruption of Charging 0 233. This may also indicate that the charging system has detected a fault and will not charge the battery.
If the vehicle is plugged in and vehicle power is on, the CSI will flash or will be solid green, depending on the charge level.
If the vehicle is plugged in and the CSI is off, a total utility interruption or a charging fault has been detected. A message displays if the vehicle is not able to charge.
Following is the vehicle feedback when the charge cord is plugged in.
| Charging Status Indicator | Sound | Action/Reason |
| Short Flashing Green (flash rate increases from one to four as the battery charges) | One audible chirp | Vehicle is charging. |
| Long Flashing Green | Two audible chirps | Charging is delayed by Programmable Charging or by a total utility interruption if equipped. Charging will begin later. |
| Short Flashing Green (one to four flashes depending on charge level) | Two audible chirps | Vehicle is charging but will be delayed by Programmable Charging at least once before the charge is complete. |
| Solid Green | None | Charging is complete. |
| Yellow (upon plug-in) | None | Charge cord is OK and the vehicle is preparing to charge. |
| Yellow (for extended time period after plug-in) | None | Charge cord is OK, but the vehicle is not charging. This may be due to a total utility interruption, and charging will begin later. This may also occur if the vehicle has detected a high-voltage charging system fault. |
| Short Flashing Green (from one to four flashes depending on charge level) or Long Flashing Green | Four audible chirps | Insufficient time to fully charge by departure time due to the selected rate preference.
To increase the battery state of charge at the departure time, perform a delayed charging override. |
| Charging Status Indicator | Sound | Action/Reason |
| None (upon plug-in) | None | Check charge cord connection. |
| None (after Green or Yellow CSI observed) | None | Check charge cord connection. If the connection is good, this may be due to a power failure or a total utility interruption, and charging will begin later. This may also occur if the vehicle has detected a high-voltage charging system fault. |
| None | Repeated audible chirps
To disable this feature, see “Charge Power Loss Alert” under Programmable Charging 0 94. To stop this alert, do one of the following: ● Unplug the charge cord. ● Press K on the RKE transmitter. ● Press and hold 7 on the RKE transmitter, then press again to stop the panic alarm. ● Press the horn pad. |
Electricity was interrupted before charging was complete. Repeated chirps will stop if power is restored within 90 seconds. |
| None | Three audible chirps | Charge port door is open. |

Important Information about Portable Electric Vehicle Charging
- Charging an electric vehicle can stress a building’s electrical system more than a typical household appliance.
- Before plugging into any electrical outlet, have a qualified electrician inspect and verify the electrical system (electrical outlet, wiring, junctions, and protection devices) for heavy-duty service at a 12 amp continuous load for 120-volt charge and 32 amp for a 240-volt charge.
- Electrical outlets may wear out with normal usage or may be damaged over time, making them unsuitable for electric vehicle charging.
- Check the electrical outlet/plug while charging and discontinue use if the electrical outlet/plug is hot, then have the electrical outlet serviced by a qualified electrician.
- When outdoors, plug into an electrical outlet that is weatherproof while in use.
- Mount the charge cord to reduce strain on the electrical outlet/plug.
- Do not place the charge cord in a position where it is expected to be submerged in water.
Danger
Improper use of portable electric vehicle charge cords may cause a fire, electrical shock, or burns, and may result in damage to property, serious injury, or death.
- Do not use extension cords, multi-outlet power strips, splitters, grounding adaptors, surge protectors, or similar devices.
- Do not use an electrical outlet that is worn or damaged, or will not hold the plug firmly in place.
- Do not use an electrical outlet that is not properly grounded.
- Do not use an electrical outlet that is on a circuit with other electrical loads.
