12 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
The vehicle should start charging automatically.
If not, please check the following:
Charging Cordset — The charging cordset
status indicators illuminate green or red
to identify the charging cordset status
Ú page 12.
Wall Receptacle — Check whether the
wall receptacle is functional (no power
outage) and/or plug the charging cordset
into a different wall receptacle.
Charging Schedule — Check whether or
not the charging schedules have been
enabled. If enabled, check that you are
within the scheduled time and day of the
week. If a charging schedule has been
enabled in the vehicle, and it is outside
the time and day of the week, you may
override the schedule for this charging
event by plugging in the charge
connector, unplugging it, and then plug-
ging it back into the vehicle charge inlet.
Complete the double plug sequence
within 10 seconds for it to override the
set schedule.
Hood Ajar — Check whether the hood is
open. Charging is disabled while the hood
is open, and will resume when the hood
closes.
5. To stop the charging process, disconnect
the vehicle side connector first and then the
charging cordset from the wall receptacle.
To disengage the vehicle coupler, push the
button on the charge connector first and
then remove the connector from the vehicle
charge inlet.

Charge Inlet
6. Close the inlet door when an EVSE is not
connected to the vehicle.
NOTE:
It is good practice to keep the ignition in the OFF
position while conducting Level 1 charging. This
minimizes any additional vehicle loads the EVSE
has to support. The additional electrical loads
will extend the high voltage battery charging
time.
Troubleshooting Using The Status
Indicator Display
If the vehicle is not charging properly, consult
the status indicator lights.
The AC Power Indicator displays the status and
safety of the input power. If this indicator is
green, the power is within acceptable limits to
charge the vehicle. If only the AC Power
Indicator is flashing red, then there is a problem
with the AC power at the electrical outlet. If the
AC Power Indicator does not return to green,
then the outlet should be inspected by a
licensed electrician to ensure the voltage,
frequency, and grounding are compliant to
national and local electrical codes and
ordinances. It may be possible to attempt
charging from a different outlet.
