The charge limit setting allows the
vehicle’s charge limit to be selected
so it matches the capability of the
charging location. If the vehicle
consistently stops charging after
plugging in, or if a circuit breaker
continues to trip, reducing to a lower
charge limit setting may resolve the
issue.
The charge limit setting should be
configured to match the electrical
current rating for the electrical outlet
that the charge cord is connected to.
On the Charge mode screen, toggle
the Charge limit selection between:
10 ampere
6 ampere
The charge limit setting must be
updated prior to the vehicle being
charged and the charge limit setting
will reset to a default value when the
vehicle is shifted from P.
9 Warning
If the capacity of the electrical
circuit or AC socket is not known,
only use the lowest charge level
until the circuit capacity has been
inspected by a qualified
electrician. Using a charge level
that exceeds either the electrical
circuit or the AC outlet capacity
may start a fire or damage the
electrical circuit.

Electric rate preference
The vehicle estimates the charging
start time based on the utility rate
schedule, utility rate preference, and
the programmed departure time for
the current day of the week. The
vehicle will charge during the least
expensive rate periods to achieve a
full high voltage battery charge by the
departure time. Electrical rate
information from the utility company
for the charging location is required
for this mode.
From the Charge mode screen with
Departure charge mode selected,
touch More to select the Electric rate
preference.
Touch one of the following options to
select the Electric rate preference:
Off: Delayed charging based on
departure.
Off-peak only: Charge during off-
peak rates.
Cost optimised off-peak & mid-
peak: Charge during mid-peak
and off-peak rates.
Cost optimised all rates: Charge
during peak, mid-peak, and off-
peak rates.
Charging begins at the start time and
is complete by the departure time only
if sufficient time is allowed after the
charge cord is plugged in. For
