Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the high beams
when driving over 40 km/h (25 mph).
The blue high-beam on light appears on the
instrument cluster when the high beams
are on.
There is a sensor near the top center of the
windshield that automatically controls the
system.
Keep this area of the windshield clear of
debris to allow for best system performance. The high-beam headlamps remain on, under
the automatic control, until one of the
following situations occurs:
.The system detects an approaching
vehicle’s headlamps.
.The system detects a preceding vehicle’s
taillamps.
.The outside light is bright enough that
high-beam headlamps are not required.
.The vehicle's speed drops below 20 km/h
(12 mph).
.The IntelliBeam system is disabled by the
button on the turn signal lever. If this
happens, press
bon the turn signal
lever when the exterior lamp control is in
the AUTO or
5position.
The instrument cluster light will come on
to indicate the IntelliBeam system is
reactivated.
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot detect
another vehicle's lamps because of any of
the following:
.The other vehicle’s lamps are missing,
damaged, obstructed from view,
or otherwise undetected.
.The other vehicle‘s lamps are covered
with dirt, snow, and/or road spray.
.The other vehicle’s lamps cannot be
detected due to dense exhaust, smoke,
fog, snow, road spray, mist, or other
airborne obstructions.
.The vehicle's windshield is dirty, cracked,
or obstructed by something that blocks
the view of the light sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded such that the front
end points upward, causing the light
sensor to aim high and not detect
headlamps and taillamps.
.Driving on winding or hilly roads.
The IntelliBeam system may need to be
disabled if any of the above conditions exist.

L :This position reduces vehicle speed
without using the brakes. Use L (Low) on
very steep hills and in stop-and-go traffic.
One-Pedal Driving
With One-Pedal Driving, the accelerator
pedal can be used to control the
deceleration of the vehicle down to a
complete stop.
Completely lifting off the accelerator pedal
will result in aggressive deceleration.
Partially lifting off the accelerator pedal will
allow the deceleration of the vehicle to be
adjusted as desired.
The amount of deceleration may vary under
Regenerative Power Limited condition. See
Power Indicator Gauge 083.
Use the brake pedal if emergency braking is
required.
To use One-Pedal Driving, place the vehicle
in L (Low). Press the accelerator pedal to the
desired speed. The deceleration provided by
One-Pedal Driving provides full regenerative
braking and helps increase energy efficiency.
The brake lamps may come on when the
accelerator pedal is released or during
substantial deceleration from regenerative
braking. While operating in One-Pedal Driving, the
electric parking brake may apply in some
circumstances. This can occur when:
.Driving on slopes.
.The driver’s door is open.
.The vehicle has remained stationary for
5 minutes.
.There is a problem with the propulsion
system.
To drive again, depress the accelerator
pedal, and the electric parking brake will
automatically disengage.
One-Pedal Driving may shift the car into
P (Park) if the vehicle is pushed once it has
been stopped or if a problem with the
propulsion system develops.
Brakes
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The Antilock Brake System (ABS) helps
prevent a braking skid and maintain steering
while braking hard. ABS performs a system check when the
vehicle is first driven. A momentary motor
or clicking noise may be heard while this
test is going on, and the brake pedal may
move slightly. This is normal.
If there is a problem with ABS, this warning
light stays on. See
Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light 086.
ABS does not change the time needed to
get a foot on the brake pedal and does not
always decrease stopping distance. If you
get too close to the vehicle ahead, there will
not be enough time to apply the brakes if
that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always
leave enough room ahead to stop, even
with ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Hearing or feeling ABS
operate is normal.
