GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 7
of the vehicle when driving forward at speeds
below 22 mph (35 km/h), and from the rear of
the vehicle when in REVERSE. The system will
emit a noise from both the front and rear of the
vehicle when in NEUTRAL Ú page 59.
BATTERY CONDITIONING
In extreme temperatures, high or low, the high
voltage battery may need to be conditioned,
and therefore may require the vehicle to be
plugged in.
If the ambient temperature is 5°F (-15°C) or
below at vehicle shut down, the instrument
cluster will display the message “Plug In Vehicle
To Condition Battery”.
If the battery temperature is below -22°F
(-30°C), or 131°F (55°C) or above, the vehicle
will NOT start:
If the vehicle is plugged in at these battery
temperatures, the instrument cluster will
display the message “Please Leave Key In
RUN — Battery Conditioning Needed”.
If the vehicle is not plugged in at these
battery temperatures, the “Plug In Vehicle To
Condition Battery” will be shown in the instru-
ment cluster display.
If the battery temperature is below -27°F
(-33°C), the message “Please Leave Key In
RUN — Battery Conditioning Needed” will be
displayed whether the vehicle is plugged in or
not.
NOTE:
When the “Please Leave Key In RUN —
Battery Conditioning Needed” message is
displayed, keep the ignition in the RUN posi-
tion for the battery to recover. Place the igni-
tion back in the OFF position when the
message disappears, and then start the
vehicle. When this message is displayed, do
not operate any air conditioning controls.
Under these high or low temperatures, if the
vehicle is plugged in, and the ignition is in the
OFF position, the vehicle may “wake up” to
precondition the high voltage battery for use.
It is recommended that the vehicle be
plugged in overnight when possible to maxi-
mize the electric range of the vehicle.
The messages will only be displayed when the
ignition is in the RUN position and the high
voltage battery is not ready to provide
propulsion power. The message also displays if
there is a failed attempt to achieve READY state
when the high voltage battery cell temperatures
are either too cold, or too hot.
HIGH VOLTAGE CHARGING OPERATION
SAE J1772 C HARGING INLET
Your vehicle uses an industry standard SAE
J1772 charge inlet (vehicle charge inlet) for
both AC Level 1 (120 V) and AC Level 2 (240 V)
charging.
