Circuit/System Description

The status of charging events (including delays) is communicated to the user through a charge status indicator and audio tones. The battery state of charge indicator, located on the top middle of the instrument panel, will be solid lit green when the vehicle is charging under automatic control. It will have a fast flash green if the charging is delayed and will begin later. It will have a slow flash green when charging is complete. A solid lit yellow indicator means the vehicle is not able to accept a charge. And if there is no indicator lit it means the electronic vehicle supply equipment is not working properly or connected. The ELR also utilizes an outside rearview mirror status indicator, its function is described in the Plug-In Charging System Description and Operation .
