Understanding the Features of Your Vehicle
CHARGER CONNECTED
The charger connected icon and state of charge gauge turns on approximately 8-10
seconds after the extension cord is plugged in. After charging is 100% complete, the
charger connected icon will be the only thing lit and the bar graph will not be illumi-
nated. A green light on the charger itself will also illuminate when the car is 100%
charged. To know if the charging process is complete, all ten bars on the state of
charge indicator should be illuminated when the car is turn on. If the charger code is
plugged in and niether the charger connected icon nor the state of charge indicators are
not illuminated, the charger may not be charging. If this occurs, make sure the main
disconnect switch is in the ’ON’ position. More information on the charger and charging
of the batteries is discussed on pages 48-52.
STATE OF CHARGE
The state of charge indicator shows how much capacity remains in the battery pack.
There are 10 bars: 1 red, 1 yellow, and 8 green. After a full charge all the bars should
be illuminated when the car is turned on. The far right green bar will be the fi rst to turn
off once the battery pack voltage begins to drop. The percent of charge corresponding
to each bar is shown below.
Bar Color % Full Charge
1 Red (Far Left) Less Than 10
2 Yellow 10-20
3 Green 20-30
4 Green 30-40
5 Green 40-50
6 Green 50-60
7 Green 60-70
8 Green 70-80
9 Green 80-90
