ROLLOVER WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of
vehicles. This vehicle has a higher ground clearance and a higher center of
gravity than many passenger vehicles. It is capable of performing better in a
wide variety of off-road applications. Driven in an unsafe manner, all
vehicles can go out of control. Because of the higher center of gravity, if
this vehicle is out of control it may roll over while some other vehicles may
not.
Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or other unsafe driving actions
that can cause loss of vehicle control. Failure to operate this vehicle safely
may result in a collision, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal
injury. Drive carefully.
FOOTNOTE
Supplementary and relevant information pertaining to the topic.
Rollover Warning Label
If you do not read the entire Owner’s Manual, you may miss important information. Observe all Cautions and Warnings.
Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts provided is a major cause of severe or fatal injury. In fact, the US government notes that the universal use of existing seat belts could cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or more each year and could reduce disabling injuries by two million annually. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.
VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS/ALTERATIONS
WARNING! Any modifications or alterations to this vehicle could seriously
affect its roadworthiness and safety and may lead to a collision resulting in
serious injury or death.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
Your vehicle is equipped with a Lithium-ion high voltage battery that is used
to power the electric powertrain systems and the 12 Volt vehicle electrical
system.
The high voltage battery is located underneath the vehicle.
Lithium-ion batteries provide the following benefits:
· Lithium-ion batteries are much lighter than other types of rechargeable
batteries of the same size.
· Lithium-ion batteries hold their charge; they only lose approximately three
percent of their charge per month.
· Lithium-ion batteries have no memory, which means that you do not have to
completely discharge them before recharging, as with some other batteries.
· Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged and discharged thousands of times.
High Voltage Battery Service Disconnect
The high voltage battery service disconnect is located under the load floor of
the cargo area, at the front left side. Only a qualified service technician
should access the high voltage battery service disconnect.
If your vehicle requires high voltage battery service, see an authorized
dealer.
WARNING!
· Never try to remove the high voltage battery service disconnect. The high
voltage battery service disconnect is used when your vehicle requires service
by a qualified technician at an authorized dealership. Failure to follow this
warning can result in electrical shock, toxic emissions, fire, and other
hazards which can cause death or serious injury including severe burns,
respiratory injuries, and blindness.
· The high voltage battery and battery case have no parts that you or an
unqualified technician can service. Under no circumstances should you or an
unqualified technician open, disassemble, penetrate, or tamper with the high
voltage battery, battery case, their cables, or connectors. Damage to these
components can result in electrical shock, toxic emissions, fire, and other
hazards which can cause death or serious injury including severe burns,
respiratory injuries, and blindness. You should take the vehicle to an
authorized dealership for any service or maintenance on these high voltage
components.
· The high voltage system can be hot during and after starting, and when the
vehicle is shut off or charging. Be careful of both the high voltage and the
high temperature. Failure to do so can result in severe burns.
Disposal of the High Voltage Battery
Your vehicle’s high voltage battery is designed to last the life of your vehicle. See an authorized dealer for
2
information on the disposal of the battery if it should
require replacement.
WARNING!
Your vehicle contains a sealed Lithium-ion high voltage battery. If the
battery is disposed of improperly, there is a risk of electrical shock and
toxic emissions which can cause severe burns, respiratory injuries, fires, and
other hazards resulting in serious injury or death.
General Information
The vehicle is also equipped with a Battery Management system that is designed
to:
· Ensure safe operation · Maximize driving range · Maximize the life
expectancy of the high voltage
battery
NOTE: During vehicle start up and shut down, a clicking noise may be heard
from within the vehicle. When the vehicle is preparing to start, the high
voltage battery contactors inside the battery are closed to make the stored
electricity inside available for vehicle use. After the vehicle is shut down,
the contactors open to electrically isolate the battery from other vehicle
systems. The clicking noise is the sound of these contactors as they open and
close during normal operation.
16 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
In the event of a collision:
· If your vehicle is still drivable, pull off the road and place the
transmission in the PARK position, apply the parking brake, and turn the
vehicle off.
· Check your vehicle to see if there are exposed high-voltage parts or cables.
To avoid electrical stock which can result in serious injury or death, never
touch wiring, connectors, and other highvoltage parts, such as the inverter
unit and the Lithium-ion battery.
· If the vehicle receives a strong impact to the floor while driving, stop the
vehicle in a safe location and check the floor.
· Leaks or damage to the Lithium-ion battery may result in a fire and toxic
emissions which can cause severe burns, respiratory injuries, and other
serious injuries or death. If you discover these leaks, contact emergency
services immediately. Since the fluid leak may be Lithium Manganate from the
Lithium-ion battery, never touch the fluid leak inside or outside of the
vehicle. If the fluid contacts your skin or eyes, wash these areas immediately
with a large amount of water and obtain immediate medical attention to help
avoid serious injury.
· If a fire occurs inside your vehicle, leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
Only use a type ABC, BC, or C fire extinguisher that is meant for use on
electrical fires. Using a small amount of water, or the incorrect fire
extinguisher can result in serious injury or death from electrical shock.
(Continued)
WARNING!
· If you are not able to safely assess the vehicle due to vehicle damage, do
not touch the vehicle. Leave the vehicle and contact emergency services.
Advise first responders that this is a hybrid-electric vehicle.
· In the event of an accident that requires bodywork, refer to an authorized
dealership.
BATTERY CONDITIONING
In extreme temperatures, high or low, the high voltage battery may need to be
conditioned, and therefore may require the vehicle to be plugged in prior to
the next use of the vehicle.
If the ambient temperature is 5°F (-15°C) or below at vehicle shut down, the
instrument cluster will display the message “Plug In Vehicle To Condition
Battery”.
If the battery temperature is below -22°F (-30°C), or 131°F (55°C) or above,
the vehicle will NOT start:
· If the vehicle is plugged in at these battery temperatures, the vehicle will
not start and the instrument cluster will display the message “Please Leave
Key In RUN — Battery Conditioning Needed” until battery conditioning is
complete.
· If the vehicle is not plugged in at these battery temperatures, the vehicle
will not start and the “Plug In Vehicle To Condition Battery” message will be
shown in the instrument cluster display.
NOTE:
· When the “Please Leave Key In RUN — Battery Conditioning Needed” message is
displayed, keep the ignition in the RUN position for the battery to recover.
Place the ignition back in the OFF position when the message disappears, and
then start the vehicle. When this message is displayed, do not operate any air
conditioning controls.
· Under these high or low temperatures, while the vehicle is plugged in and
the ignition is in the OFF position, the vehicle may “wake up” to precondition
the high voltage battery for use.
· It is recommended that the vehicle be plugged in overnight when possible, to
maximize the electric range of the vehicle.
The messages will only be displayed when the ignition is in the RUN position
and the high voltage battery is not ready to provide propulsion power. The
messages will also display if there was a failed attempt to achieve READY
state when the high voltage battery cell temperatures were either too cold, or
too hot.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM (RBS)
Your vehicle has a RBS. The RBS replenishes the vehicle’s high voltage battery
during deceleration, and is particularly useful in stop-and-go city traffic.
The electric motors, which propel the vehicle forward, can operate as
generators when braking. The RBS recharges the high voltage battery under
certain braking conditions by recapturing energy that would otherwise be lost
while braking. The electric power that is generated goes back into the high
voltage battery for later use, for example when acceleration is desired.
The RBS uses conventional hydraulic friction brakes, regenerative braking, or
a combination to slow the vehicle. If the system detects slippery conditions
while braking, ONLY friction is used to slow the vehicle. The RBS can result
in extended life of the hydraulic service brakes; however, all inspection,
scheduled maintenance, and service intervals for the vehicle service brakes
must be followed.
Max Regeneration
Max Regeneration is a supplemental feature of the RBS. When activated, it will
use the RBS to help slow the vehicle when the driver releases the accelerator
pedal. This feature allows you to moderately reduce driving speed without
pressing the brake pedal. It is always necessary to apply the brake pedal to
bring the vehicle to a complete stop. The Driving History screen shows the
value of energy recovered from the highvoltage battery during eCoasting and
eBraking energy recovery operations page 30.
· eCoasting: Intervenes in place of the exhaust brake when the throttle is
released, allowing energy recovery when slowing down, even when the brake
pedal is released. It will differentiate depending on the selected drive mode.
When the accelerator pedal is released, the system recovers energy during the
slowing down phase of the car. It is always active regardless of the selected
drive mode. eCoasting is possible if the automatic transmission is in the
Drive position. While in “Sport” mode, eCoasting has a more pronounced
deceleration when the accelerator pedal is released. When “Sport” mode is not
selected, eCoasting has a setting that favors driving comfort.
· eBraking: eBraking is always active regardless of the selected operating
mode, and activates the high-voltage battery charging when the brake pedal is
pressed, thereby recovering energy during braking. It is useful when driving
in the city, where there are continuous stops and starts. To make the most
efficient use the system, the braking phase should be modulated by applying
gradual pressure on the brake pedal to allow maximum energy recovery.
E-SELEC MODE
This system allows the driver to select different modes by first pressing the
e-Save button located below the gear shifter. Once selected the different
modes are customizable in your touchscreen display.
E-Selec Mode Switch
· Hybrid: Prioritizes electric range first, then gas range. Automatically
switches between using gas and battery for greatest efficiency and
performance. Best heating/cooling and acceleration performance.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 17
· Electric: Prevents the engine from running, unless
you absolutely need it.
Driving in electric mode allows the vehicle to use
up to the full capability of the electric drivetrain,
and if the electric drivetrain is operating at its
peak power, then pressing the accelerator pedal more will not result in more power. To access the
2
full capability of the engine plus electric motors,
switch to Hybrid or e-Save.
Engine will switch on during a Wide Open Throttle
(WOT) event, or if cruise control requires it.
Vehicle will switch to hybrid mode upon reaching
< 1% State of Charge (SOC) or due to system
needs. See page 87 for information on where
to view your vehicle’s SOC.
· e-Save: Aims to maintain a high level of SOC/Electric
range for later use. It can be customized in settings
to increase the SOC to predefined levels.
e-Save settings can be found in the Uconnect
Hybrid Electric App.
When e-Save is selected on a fully charged
vehicle, the SOC will drop slightly for optimal
performance.
The Battery Save setting aims to maintain the
SOC at the current level. Under heavy load, such
as while pulling a trailer, SOC may decrease.
When coasting, the SOC may increase.
The Battery Charge setting uses power from the
engine to increase SOC to the selected target. If
the SOC is above the target when e-Save mode is
activated, then the vehicle will automatically
switch between gas and battery until SOC
reaches the target.
The e-Save mode button must be pressed to acti-
vate Battery Save or Battery Charge.

CHARGING TIMES
The following factors determine the time it takes to charge the high voltage
battery:
· The high voltage battery’s current State Of Charge (SOC)
· The type of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) used (Level 1 120 V
or Level 2 240 V)
· Ambient temperature · Whether the vehicle’s ignition is in the RUN position
during charging
NOTE:
· The following charging times are estimates based on charging a high voltage
battery that has a <1% State Of Charge (SOC) value displayed in the instrument
cluster.
· Charging times will vary based on the age, condition, SOC, available current
being provided to the charger from its energy source, and temperature of the
high voltage battery.
· Charging times may be longer if a thermal selfprotection reduces the
charging current from the EVSE being used.
· If the vehicle’s ignition is in the ON/RUN position, the vehicle charge
indicator may not indicate greater than a 99% SOC and will continue to charge
the vehicle, due to the vehicle loads.

Charge Until Full
If “Charge Until Full” is selected, the vehicle must be plugged in within five
minutes of the start time. The following are situations in which “Charge Until
Full” may not be honored:
· If selected for five days (Monday through Friday), and the vehicle is
plugged in five or more minutes after the start time on any of those days,
“Charge Until Full” will not be honored for that day. “Charge Until Full” will
resume on the next day at the scheduled time.
· If there are multiple plug/unplug events after first being plugged in within
five minutes, “Charge Until Full” will not be honored for that day.
· If other schedules (Charge Interval, etc.) are set at a later time in
addition to “Charge Until Full” being selected, and the vehicle is plugged in
five or more minutes after the scheduled start time, “Charge Until Full” will
not be honored for that day. The next available schedule will be followed.
Set Charge Schedule
NOTE:
· If the charging schedule is not enabled, the vehicle will charge whenever
plugged in. It is not necessary to set up the charging schedule to charge the
vehicle.
· If the vehicle is plugged in outside of the charging schedule set in the
Uconnect system (and Charge Until Full is not selected), the vehicle’s battery
will not charge. Charging will only begin immediately if the vehicle is
plugged in within the time and day of the week set in the schedule. Otherwise,
charging will automatically begin when the selected charge time/day of the
week occurs or whenever the vehicle is plugged in with no charge schedule set.
· Scheduled Charging may be bypassed and charging will begin automatically if
the high voltage battery state of charge is below its optimal operating point.
· If the vehicle is turned off outside of the charging window, a radio pop-up
message will be displayed, which provides an option to begin charging the
vehicle immediately. The pop-up message asks the driver if they would like to
“Charge Now?” and provides other information, including the next charging
schedule start time and estimated time to charge the battery to 100%. If
within one hour of selecting “Yes,” the vehicle is connected to a powered
EVSE, the vehicle will immediately begin to charge (temporarily ignoring any
set charge schedule). To fully deactivate the charge schedule, refer to the
“Schedules” feature within the Hybrid Electric app.
· The charging schedule can also be overridden if an EVSE is plugged in,
unplugged, and then plugged in a second time to the vehicle. After the first
plug in of the vehicle, wait until the battery charge indicator on the
instrument panel lights up before unplugging.
This “double plug sequence” will override the schedule that is set in the
radio, and begin charging the vehicle immediately. The double plug sequence
must be completed within 10 seconds for it to override the programmed
schedule.
· If “Charge Until Full” is selected, and the vehicle is plugged in after the
start time of the schedule, the vehicle will start charging when it reaches
the start time the next day. If you would like to begin charging immediately,
and continue charging until the vehicle is fully charged, you can select the
“Charge Now” option or use the double plug override option.
SCHEDULE BYPASS
NOTE:
If the vehicle is turned off outside of the charging window, a radio pop-up
message will be displayed. The pop-up message asks the driver if they would
like to “Charge Now?” and provides the next charging schedule start time and
estimated time to charge the battery to 100%. If within one hour of selecting
“Yes”, the vehicle is connected to a powered EVSE, the vehicle will
immediately begin to charge (temporarily ignoring any set charge schedule). To
fully deactivate the charge schedule, select the “Enable Schedule” checkbox
until the check mark is removed from the box.
The charging schedule can also be overridden if the EVSE is plugged in,
unplugged, and then plugged in a second time to the vehicle. This double plug
sequence will override the set schedule in the Hybrid Electric App, and begin
charging the vehicle immediately. The double plug sequence must be completed
within 10 seconds for it to override the programmed schedule.

Programming And Requesting Additional Key Fobs
Programming the key fob may be performed by an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
· Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be repurposed and
reprogrammed to another vehicle.
· Only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to
start and operate the vehicle.
WARNING!
· Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle and lock all doors when leaving
the vehicle unattended.
· For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter `n GoTM Ignition, always remember
to place the ignition in the OFF position when exiting the vehicle.
Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an authorized dealer. This
procedure consists of programming a blank key fob to the vehicle electronics.
A blank key fob is one that has never been programmed.
NOTE:
· When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer system serviced, bring all vehicle
keys with you to an authorized dealer.
· Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut to match the vehicle locks.
· It is not mandatory to replace the key fob if a new emergency key is needed,

SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents unauthorized vehicle operation by
disabling the engine. The system does not need to be armed or activated.
Operation is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or
unlocked. The system uses a key fob, keyless push button ignition and a Radio
Frequency (RF) receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore,
only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and
operate the vehicle. The system cannot reprogram a key fob obtained from
another vehicle.
After placing the ignition in the ON/RUN position, the Vehicle Security Light
will turn on for three seconds for a bulb check. If the light remains on after
the bulb check, it indicates that there is a problem with the electronics. In
addition, if the light begins to flash after the bulb check, it indicates that
someone attempted to start the engine with an invalid key fob. In the event
that a valid key fob is used to start the engine but there is an issue with
the vehicle electronics, the engine will start and shut off after two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal vehicle operation
(vehicle running for longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that there is a
fault in the electronics. Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon
as possible by an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not compatible with some aftermarket
Remote Start systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting
problems and loss of security protection.
All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the
vehicle electronics
page 281.
NOTE: A key fob that has not been programmed is also considered an invalid
key.

SCHEDULED CABIN CONDITIONING (SCC) — IF EQUIPPED (PHEV ONLY)
This feature allows the driver to pre-condition (warm up or cool down) the
passenger cabin based on a planned departure time. The target temperature is
preset to the same values used by the Remote Start feature. Unlike Remote
Start, the driver does not need to initiate the cabin conditioning by pushing
the Remote Start button, instead, a programmed departure time will be used.
Also, all scheduled cabin conditioning will be powered by the vehicle’s high
voltage battery working in conjunction with any Electrical Vehicle Supply
Equipment (EVSE) connected to the vehicle. Unlike Remote Start, in SCC the
vehicle’s gas engine will not start to provide power or heat for cabin
conditioning.
The SCC event times are used to wake up the vehicle so that the Climate
Control system can condition the passenger cabin prior to the scheduled
departure time. Based on vehicle operating conditions, ambient temperature,
and the next programmed departure time, the vehicle will determine when to
begin cabin conditioning.
NOTE:
If the ambient temperature is less than 40 ° F (4.5 °C), the vehicle’s front
and rear defrosters and heated mirrors will also be activated during an
Scheduled Cabin Conditioning event.
The SCC will continue for a maximum of 15 minutes after the scheduled
departure time. The SCC feature can be activated a second time after the first
15 minutes of conditioning have expired. After this second activation, the
vehicle’s ignition must be placed in the ON/RUN position to allow future
activations.
All of the following conditions must be met before the vehicle will initiate a
scheduled SCC event:

Entry vehicle:
· A lock request is made by a valid Passive Entry key fob while a door is
open.
· A lock request is made by the Passive Entry door handle while a door is
open.
· A lock request is made by the door panel switch while the door is open.
When any of these situations occur, after all open doors are shut, the FOBIK-
Safe search will be executed. If it detects a Passive Entry key fob inside the
vehicle and it does not detect any Passive Entry key fobs outside the vehicle,
then the vehicle will unlock and alert the customer.
NOTE: The vehicle will only unlock the doors when a valid Passive Entry key
fob is detected inside the vehicle. The vehicle will not unlock the doors when
any of the following conditions are true:
· The doors are manually locked using the door lock knobs.
· Three attempts are made to lock the doors using the door panel switch and
then the doors are closed.
· There is a valid Passive Entry key fob outside the vehicle and within 5 ft
