Battery Pack Heaters
The high-voltage battery pack on your vehicle is equipped with automatic heaters that sense when the battery’s internal temperature is below 50°F (10°C). This allows your vehicle to operate normally in below-freezing conditions.
If the battery temperature falls below 50°F (10°C), the battery heaters activate when:
-
the vehicle is charging, or
-
the key switch is in the ON position
When the battery pack heaters are active, a snowflake icon will be displayed on the instrument cluster. The snowflake icon and any associated performance limitation messages on the RIDE COMMAND screen (if equipped) should not be confused with “limp Mode”. Always allow several minutes for the battery pack heaters to warm up before operating the vehicle. This helps prevent sluggish performance, reduced speed, longer charge times, and shorter vehicle range. Vehicle charging and driving performance will not become limited unless the internal battery temperature is below -4°F/-20°C. or colder.
