Instrument Panel Visual Indicator  
In addition to the instrument cluster the  
vehicle is also equipped with a visual  
charge indicator.The indicator is made up of five lights that are mounted to the center of  
the instrument panel.  
The charge indicator represents the cur-  
rent state of charge for the high voltage  
battery.The charge indicator lights quickly  
identify the battery state of charge while  
the vehicle is being charged. Each light  
represents an incremental 20% level of  
charge. Solid and blinking lights indicate  
charge status similar to a mobile device.  
NOTE:  
In the event of an error in the charging pro-  
cess the outer two lights will blink.
