Charge Port

The charge port is located between the
front left side door and front left wheel
well. There is an indentation located on
the charge port door. Press with your
thumb to open and close the door.

E144779

Note: Do not force the charge port door
open or closed. Forcing the door open or
closed will damage the charge port.

The light ring located around the charge
port indicates the charge status of the high
voltage battery in your vehicle.

Divided into four quadrants, the charge
port light ring displays the state of charge
in 25 percent increments.

There is a cord acknowledgment feature
that activates when you initiate a charge
cycle. The four light quadrants will
individually flash clockwise starting with
the top right light and ending with the top
left, two full times, confirming the system
detects the charging coupler.

Use the key fob to view the charge status
of your vehicle at any time by pressing the
unlock button. The light ring will light up
the corresponding quadrant(s) so that the
current state of charge can be determined.
If the charge is below 25 percent, the light
ring will not light. Do not forget to press the
lock button on your key fob to re-lock your
vehicle.

The light ring will also display the current
state of charge when opening the doors.

Charging

Note: Your vehicle must be in park P to
charge.

To charge the high-voltage battery:

1.

Put the vehicle in park P and power
down the vehicle.

2. With your thumb, press in and release

the indentation located on the charge
port door and the door will rotate open.

3. Plug the charging coupler into the

charge port receptacle on your vehicle.
Make sure the button clicks confirming
that you have completely engaged the
coupler.

4. Verify that the cord acknowledgment

feature activates. This indicates the
beginning of a normal charge cycle.

5. If using a 240–volt charging station,

follow the instructions on the charge
station to begin the charging process.

The light ring will display how far along the
charge is:
•

When the top right quadrant is pulsing,
the charge is between 0-25 percent.

•

When the top right quadrant light is on
and the bottom right quadrant is
pulsing, the charge is between 25-50
percent.

•

When the lights on both right side
quadrants are on and the bottom left
quadrant is pulsing, the charge is
between 50-75 percent.

•

When the lights on the three quadrants
are on and the top left quadrant is
pulsing, the charge is between 75-100
percent.

•

When all lights on the entire ring are
on, the charge is complete.

Note: The light ring will turn off one minute
after reaching a full charge.

Locking the Charging Coupler

Note: You will need a padlock or a
combination lock with a shackle diameter
of 0.2 in (5 mm) or less and the straight
portion of the shackle of 1.0 in (25.4 mm)
of length or more.

1.

Insert the lock through the hole in the
charging coupler button.

2. Lock the padlock or combination lock.

Waiting to Charge

Note: See the Charge Settings Menu on
your touchscreen. See SYNC™ 3 (page 366).

When you select Value Charge, charging
may not begin upon plugging in. Your
vehicle may delay charging to take
advantage of off-peak electricity rates.
Your vehicle will optimize the charge
schedule to be complete by the next GO
Time.

When waiting to charge (not actively
charging), the light ring will indicate the
present state of charge of the high voltage
battery as follows:
•

When the top right quadrant light is off,
the charge is between 0–25 percent.

•

When the top right quadrant light is on,
and the bottom right quadrant is off,
the charge is between 25–50 percent.

•

When both right side quadrant lights
are on and the bottom left quadrant is
off, the charge is between 50–75
percent.

•

When three quadrant lights are on and
the top left quadrant is off, the charge
is between 75–100 percent.

•

When all lights on the entire ring are
on, the charge is 100 percent.

Note: When your vehicle is waiting to
charge, the light ring will turn off one minute
after displaying the present state of charge.
When your vehicle automatically begins
charging, the light ring will turn on and
display how far along the charge is per the
section above.

Note: If the system detects a vehicle
charging system fault at any point in a
charge cycle, the entire light ring will flash
continuously for one minute and then turn
off. If this happens, unplug the charging
coupler and then plug it back into the charge
port receptacle. If the problem persists,
contact an authorized dealer.

You can modify the lighting ring. Refer to
the Charge Port Light Ring Settings. See
SYNC™ 3 (page 366).

coupler button.
