Charge settings
5-8 Charging your vehicle
To preserve the life of the Battery, this
charge setting is automatically cancelled
(reverting back to Standard) after 72
hours or if the vehicle has been driven
more than 160 m (1/10 mile) between
charges.
Schedule the charge time
If you don’t want the vehicle to begin
charging immediately after you plug it in,
you can set a time for charging to start.
This is a useful way to charge the vehicle
during non-peak hours when there is less
demand on your electrical system and
when your electricity may cost less.
Setting the current limit
The charging current is automatically set
to the maximum available from the
connected electricity supply. If required,
you can use the touch screen’s Charge
settings screen to manually change the
current limit.
Once changed, the value remains in effect
for the current location until you manually
change it. This allows you to set a different
current limit for each charging location.
Note: The vehicle location is determined
by the internal global positioning system
(GPS).
Cost
After charging the vehicle, you can display
the cost of the charge on the touch screen.
To obtain an accurate reading of your
power cost for each charge cycle you can
enter your cost of power (in kWh) on the
Cost Settings screen.
Note: In most areas, you can obtain your
power costs from your utility bill.
For details on setting charge costs, refer
to the ‘Touch Screen Users Manual’.
