- Heating or cooling and battery temperature affect the energy needed before departure.
- The charging source and available time must be sufficient to reach the requested level.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the timer does not run, confirm its checkbox is enabled and the vehicle recognizes the saved location.
- ✓If the cabin is not preconditioned, verify Include climate control is enabled and a target temperature is set.
- ✓If charging has not begun, read the charge-port LED: solid red indicates charging could not start or stopped prematurely.
