130 Driving and operating
A portable charge cord used to
charge the vehicle high voltage
battery is stored under the load
compartment.
The charge cord used to charge the
vehicle is a high‐powered electrical
device. During normal operation, the
AC wall plug of the charge cord may
feel warm. The AC wall plug must fit
tightly into an AC outlet that is in good
condition.
Charge cord status indicators
The charge cord status indicators
illuminate green or flash red to identify
the charge cord status. When both
indicators are green, the vehicle can
be charged. If any indicators are
flashing red, the charge cord will not
permit vehicle charging.
A flashing red AC (A) indicates that
the AC voltage is out of range.
Flashing red AC (A) and fault (B)
indicate that the AC outlet does not
have a proper safety ground.
Charging is not permitted for safety
reasons. The AC outlet must be
repaired or another outlet source
should be used.
A flashing red fault (B) indicates
a charge cord fault. The charge cord
will attempt to reset automatically. If
the flashing red fault (B) continues for
more than 30 seconds, unplug the
charge cord from the wall to reset. If
the fault remains, seek the assistance
of a workshop.

Using a charge level that exceeds

by using the charge level button on
the charge cord, depending on the car
model.
