This section explains the processfor charging the high voltage battery.Do not allow the vehicle to remain intemperature extremes for longperiods without being driven or plugged in. It is recommended that
the vehicle be plugged in whentemperatures are below 0 °C (32 °F)and above 32 °C (90 °F) tomaximize high voltage battery life.
When using a 120-volt AC electricaloutlet, it will take approximately13 hours to charge the vehicle withthe 12 amp AC current setting or 19 hours using the default 8 amp AC current setting. When using a240-volt charging station, it will takeapproximately 4.5 hours to chargethe vehicle. Charge times will varywith outside temperature. There arethree ways to program how the
vehicle is charged. SeeProgrammable Charging 0 118 .
The charging system may run fansand pumps that result in soundsfrom the vehicle while it is turnedoff. Additional unexpected clickingsounds may be caused by theelectrical devices used whilecharging.
While the charge cord is pluggedinto the vehicle, the vehicle cannotbe driven.

Important Information aboutPortable Electric Vehicle Charging
. Charging an electric vehicle canstress a building’s electricalsystem more than a typicalhousehold appliance.
. Before plugging into anyelectrical outlet, have a qualifiedelectrician inspect and verify theelectrical system (electricaloutlet, wiring, junctions, andprotection devices) for heavy-duty service at a 12 ampcontinuous load.
. Electrical outlets may wear outwith normal usage or bedamaged over time, makingthem unsuitable for electricvehicle charging.
. Check the electrical outlet/plugwhile charging and discontinueuse if the electrical outlet/plug ishot, then have the electrical
outlet serviced by a qualifiedelectrician.
. When outdoors, plug into anelectrical outlet that isweatherproof while in use.
. Mount the charging cord toreduce strain on the electricaloutlet/plug.
{ Danger
Improper use of portable electricvehicle charge cords may causea fire, electrical shock, or burns,
and may result in damage toproperty, serious injury, or death.
. Do not use extension cords,multi-outlet power strips,splitters, groundingadaptors, surge protectors,or similar devices.
. Do not use an electricaloutlet that is worn or damaged, or will not holdthe plug firmly in place.
. Do not use an electricaloutlet that is not properlygrounded.
. Do not use an electricaloutlet that is on a circuit withother electrical loads.

Driving for Better Energy
EfficiencyUse the following tips to helpmaximize energy efficiency andrange.
In colder temperatures, while theseefficiency tips will help, the electricvehicle driving range may be lower due to higher energy usage.
Driving Style
Efficiency Gauge (InstrumentCluster)
The ball indicator should be keptgreen and toward the center of th
gauge for efficient operation.
Inefficient acceleration is indicatedwhen the ball turns yellow andtravels above the center of thegauge.
Aggressive braking is indicatedwhen the ball turns yellow andtravels below the center of thegauge.
Acceleration/Braking/Coasting
Avoid unnecessary rapidaccelerations and decelerations.
Electric range is maximized at80 km/h (50 mph) and below. Highspeeds use more energy and cansignificantly reduce electric range
Use cruise control whenappropriate.
26 In Brief
8/16/2019 2k16volt1stPrint
27/368
Plan ahead for decelerations andcoast whenever possible. For example, do not rush to trafficsignals.
Do not shift to N (Neutral) to coast.The vehicle recovers energy whilecoasting and braking in D (Drive)or L (Low).
Drive Mode and PRNDL Selection
Use Normal Mode when possible.
Sport Mode provides moreresponsive acceleration thanNormal Mode but can reduceefficiency.
Use Mountain Mode prior toclimbing long, steep grades inmountainous areas. Be sure toengage Mountain Mode beforestarting to climb. Mountain Modereduces electric range and power but may be needed to maintainspeeds or steep grades.
Use Hold Mode on a trip where it isexpected that all of the electriccharge will be depleted. Use HoldMode mainly during highway or highspeed driving to maximize both EVmiles and fuel efficiency.
Use L (Low) in heavy stop-and-gotraffic or when traveling downhill.L (Low) requires less brake pedalapplication and provides acontrolled, efficient way to slow thevehicle down.
Climate Setting
Using the heat and air conditioningsystems decreases the energyavailable for electric driving.
Optimal energy efficiency isachieved with the heat, air conditioning, and fan turned off.
Less energy is used at low fanspeeds. When using the fan:
. Fan Only is the most energyefficient climate setting as long
as0 is not selected.. Use eco for moderate air
conditioning and heater operation. This is the next mostenergy efficient setting as long
as0 is not selected.. MAX provides the most comfort
but is the least energy efficient.
Use the auto heated seat featureand the heated steering wheelinstead of climate settings. Heatingthe seat and steering wheel usesless energy than heating the vehicleinterior.
Use remote start to heat or cool theinterior when the vehicle is pluggedin to maximize the electric range byutilizing electricity from the electricaloutlet.
Engine Assisted Heating,if equipped, can be personalizedwhile plugged in. See “Engine Assist Heat Plugged In” under Vehicle Personalization 0 139.
In hot weather, avoid parking indirect sunlight or use sunshadesinside the vehicle.
Turn off the front and rear windowdefog/defrost when they are nolonger needed.
Avoid driving with the windows open
at highway speeds.
In Brief

Vehicle Charging/Maintenance
Charging
Keep the vehicle plugged in, evenwhen fully charged, to keep thebattery temperature ready for the
next drive. This is important whenoutside temperatures are extremelyhot or cold.
Maintenance
Always keep the tires properlyinflated and the vehicle properlyaligned.
The weight of excess cargo in the
vehicle affects efficiency and range. Avoid carrying more than is needed.
If fuel is not regularly used, consider keeping the fuel tank only one-thirdfull. Excess fuel weight impactsefficiency and range.
For fuel recommendations, seeFuel 0 221.
Avoid unnecessary use of electricalaccessories. Power used for functions other than propelling thevehicle will reduce EV range.
Using a rooftop carrier will reduceefficiency due to additional weightand drag.
