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 under the
middle section of the vehicle, below and in front of
the second row seating. The high voltage battery is
maintenance free and designed to last for the life of
the vehicle.
Lithium-ion batteries provide the following ben-
efits:
• 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 3 percent of their charge per
month.
• Lithium-ion batteries have no memory, which
means that you do not have to completely dis-
charge them before recharging, as with some
other batteries.
• Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged and dis-
charged thousands of times.
High Voltage Battery Service Disconnect
The High Voltage Battery Service Disconnect is
located under the access panel, in front of the sec-
ond row passenger seating.
If your vehicle requires high voltage battery service,
see your authorized dealer.
WARNING!
Never try to remove the high voltage battery
service disconnect. The high voltage battery ser-
vice disconnect is used when your vehicle re-
quires serviced by a trained technician at an
authorized dealer. Failure to follow this warning
can cause severe burns or electrical shock that
may result in serious injury or death.
Disposal of the High Voltage Battery
Your vehicle’s high voltage battery is designed to
last the life of your vehicle. See your authorized
dealer for information on the disposal of the battery
if it should require replacement.
NOTE:
• During vehicle start up and shut down a clicking
noise may be heard from within the vehicle. When
the ignition is in the ON position, the high voltage
battery contactors inside the battery are closed to
make the stored electricity inside available for ve-
hicle use. The clicking noise heard is the sound of
these contactors as they open and close during
normal operation.
• 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. When the vehicle is not plugged-in, the follow-
ing message, “Plug In Vehicle for Battery Condi-
tioning” might appear in the instrument cluster
display. When the High Voltage Batter y is not
ready to crank the vehicle at start up, due to con-
ditions including extreme temperatures, the mes-
sage “Battery Conditioning Leave Ignition In Run”
will be displayed in the instrument cluster display.
Keep the ignition in the ON/RUN position for the
battery to recover. Switch the ignition back to the
OFF position when the message disappears, and
then start the vehicle. When the “Battery Condi-
tioning Leave Ignition in Run” message is dis-
played on the instrument cluster display, do not
operate any air conditioning controls.
