Important limits

  • Battery Charge Level offers nine choices from 20% through 100%; estimated range uses 10-mile increments.
  • A one-time schedule is created when no repeat day is selected.
  • The timer may not work immediately after 12-volt battery removal, before GPS reception, or temporarily after a daylight-saving-time change.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If charging begins immediately, confirm the selected schedule is enabled and Charge When Connected is disabled.
  • ✓If the timer was just restored after battery service, allow the vehicle to receive a GPS signal.
  • ✓If charging stops earlier than the end time, check whether the configured battery-level or estimated-range limit was reached.
