page of the touchscreen or under the vehicle
settings menu to access charge preferences.
See SYNC™ 3 (page 431).
Charging may not begin upon plugging in
if you have set up preferred charge times
for this vehicle location. Your vehicle could
delay charging to take advantage of
off-peak electricity rates. Your vehicle
optimizes the charge schedule to be
complete by your next departure time.
When waiting to charge, plugged in and
not currently charging, the charge status
indicator shows the present state of charge
of the high voltage battery by lighting up
all completed zones for 30 seconds before
turning off. For example, if the battery is at
70 percent charge then the bottom three
zones solidly light up to indicate a battery
charge level of at least 60 percent but less
than 80 percent. When the current state
of charge is less than 20 percent, none of
the zones light up.
Note: When your vehicle is waiting to
charge, the charge status indicator turns off
30 seconds after displaying the present
state of charge. When your vehicle begins
charging, the charge status indicator turns
on and displays the status of the charge, as
described above.
