{Warning
Do not charge your vehicle’s
battery above an 80%
charge if you are going to
drive down long, steep
grades such as mountain
passes. This provides room
in the battery for
regenerative braking to
supplement your
conventional brakes during
the descent. This is
especially important when
towing a trailer, which puts
additional stress on your
vehicle’s braking system.
See Hill and Mountain Roads
0200 for important
information about driving on
grades.
The default charge level is
100% when plugged in. To set
a different charge level, drag
the circular marker on the
Target Charge Level Gauge to
the preferred value. To lower
the desired Charge Level, drag the Charge Level marker
counterclockwise, and to
increase it drag the marker
clockwise. The Charge Level
can also be changed by
tapping
«andªinside the
gauge on the screen. The
multifunction controller (MCF)
on the center console can also
be used to set the Charge
Level by rotating clockwise or
counterclockwise when the
Target Charge Level Gauge is
highlighted. The Range
estimate updates once the
desired Charge Level is set.
To optimize battery health, the
minimum allowable Charge
Level is determined by the
vehicle. Charge Later
Instead of charging
immediately to a desired
Charge Level, you may choose
to delay the charge to the
vehicle and have it complete
by your desired departure
time. This may be a more
economical choice and a more
efficient use of energy when
charging at home. To use this
mode, touch the Charge Later
tab from the Charging screen.
With Charge Later selected,
the Charging screen displays:
.Text explaining that your
vehicle will delay the planned
charge to be ready by the
time specified.

194 Driving and Operating
Acceleration/Braking/
Coasting
Avoid rapid accelerations and
decelerations.
Use cruise control when
appropriate.
Plan ahead for decelerations,
and coast whenever possible.
Do not rush to traffic signals,
and do not shift to N (Neutral)
to coast.
Use the One-Pedal Driving
feature when appropriate to
help recover energy during
coasting and braking.
One-Pedal mode recovers
more energy while coasting
and braking than D (Drive)
mode. See One-Pedal Driving
0214.
Use the steering wheel Regen
on Demand paddle during
deceleration to help recover
energy. See Regenerative
Braking 0220. Terrain and Vehicle Speed
Higher speeds and grade
changes use more energy and
can significantly reduce
electric range.
Climate Setting
Using the heat and air
conditioning systems
decreases the energy
available for electric driving.
Optimal energy efficiency is
achieved when the heat, air
conditioning, and fan are
turned off.
Use the heated and ventilated
seat features (if equipped)
instead of the climate control
system. Heating and
ventilating the seat uses less
energy than heating and
cooling the interior. See
Heated and Ventilated Front
Seats
045 and
Heated Rear Seats 049.
Use the Remote Start Climate
Control feature to heat or cool
the interior while the vehicle is
plugged in to use electricity from the electrical outlet
instead of using energy from
the battery. See Remote Start
0
15.
In hot weather, avoid parking
in direct sunlight. Use
sunshades inside the vehicle.
Keep the inside of the
windows clean to reduce
fogging. Turn off the front
defroster and rear defogger
when they are not needed.
Avoid driving with the
windows open at highway
speeds.
Use the Battery Gauge on the
Instrument Cluster to view the
effect of climate control
settings on your estimated
range. See Battery Gauge
(High Voltage) 0110.
Outside Temperature
On colder days, it is best to
plug in the vehicle overnight,
and then remote start the
vehicle.

Winter Driving
Driving on Snow or IceCaution
To avoid damage to the
wheels and brake
components, always clear
snow and ice from inside the
wheels and underneath the
vehicle before driving.
Snow or ice between the tires
and the road creates less
traction or grip, so drive
carefully. Wet ice can occur at
about 0°C (32°F) when
freezing rain begins to fall.
Avoid driving on wet ice or in
freezing rain until roads can be
treated.
For Slippery Road Driving:
.Turn off cruise control.
.If enabled, turn off
One-Pedal Driving. See
One-Pedal Driving 0214
.If turned off, turn on the
Traction Control and the
Electronic Stability Control systems. See Traction
Control/Electronic Stability
Control
0221.
.Select the Snow/Ice driver
mode. See Driver Mode
Control 0223.
.Accelerate gently.
Accelerating too quickly
causes the wheels to spin
and makes the surface under
the tires slick.
.Allow greater following
distance and watch for
slippery spots. Icy patches
can occur on otherwise clear
roads in shaded areas. The
surface of a curve or an
overpass can remain icy
when the surrounding roads
are clear. Avoid sudden
steering maneuvers and
braking while on ice.
.Antilock Brake System (ABS)
improves vehicle stability
during hard stops, but the
brakes should be applied
sooner than when on dry
pavement. See Antilock
Brake System (ABS) 0216.
Blizzard Conditions
If you become stranded or
cannot continue driving due to
winter storm conditions, stop
the vehicle in a safe place and
signal for help. Stay with the
vehicle unless there is help
nearby.
If you stay in your vehicle
while waiting, signal for help
and keep everyone in the
vehicle safe by turning on the
hazard warning flashers and
tying a red cloth to an outside
mirror.
To conserve battery energy
while waiting for help, run the
vehicle for only short periods
as needed to warm the vehicle
and then shut the vehicle off
and partially close the window.
Moving about to keep warm
also helps. For additional tips
to help conserve battery
energy in cold weather, see
Driving for Better Energy
Efficiency 0193.

Driving and Operating 207
ON/RUN :This position is for
starting and driving. With the
vehicle off, and the brake
pedal applied, pressing
POWER
Oonce will place the
vehicle in ON/RUN. When the
vehicle ready light is on in the
instrument cluster, the vehicle
is ready to be driven. This
could take up to 15 seconds at
extremely cold temperatures.
Service Mode
This power mode is available
for service and diagnostics,
and to verify the proper
operation of the service
vehicle soon light as may be
required for inspection or
maintenance purposes. With
the vehicle off, and the brake
pedal not applied, pressing
and holding POWER
Ofor
more than five seconds will
place the vehicle in Service
Mode. The instruments and
audio systems will operate as
they do in ON/RUN, but the
vehicle will not be able to be
driven. The propulsion system will not start in Service Mode.
Press POWER
Oagain to turn
the vehicle off.
Caution
Placing the vehicle in
Service Mode will use the
12-volt battery. Do not use
Service Mode for an
extended period, or the
vehicle may not start.
STOPPING THE VEHICLE/
OFF : To turn the vehicle off,
apply the brakes, press the
button on top of the shift lever
to shift to P (Park) and press
POWER
O.
Alternatively, apply the brakes
and press POWER
O. The
electric drive unit will shift to
P (Park) then shut off
automatically.
Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) will remain active
until the driver door is opened.
If the vehicle must be shut off
in an emergency: 1. Brake using a firm and
steady pressure. Do not
pump the brakes
repeatedly. This may
deplete power assist,
requiring increased brake
pedal force.
2. Shift the vehicle to N (Neutral). This can be
done while the vehicle is
moving. After shifting to
N (Neutral), firmly apply the
brakes and steer the vehicle
to a safe location.
3. Come to a complete stop, shift to P (Park), and turn
the vehicle off by pressing
POWER
O.
4. Set the parking brake.
{Warning
Turning off the vehicle while
moving may disable the
airbags. While driving, only
shut the propulsion system
off in an emergency.
