Performance Traction Management (PTM)
mode, or if it has been turned off, the ESC
Off light will turn off when the vehicle
exceeds 160 km/h (100 mph), indicating that
StabiliTrak/ESC is fully enabled.
Hill Rollback Control
If the vehicle is in gear and inadvertently
rolls backwards, Hill Rollback Control helps
limit the rollback to a very low speed.
A noise may be heard while the vehicle
speed is actively being controlled. A Driver
Information Center (DIC) message displays
when active.
Driver Mode Control
Driver Mode Control (DMC) allows the driver
to adjust the overall driving experience to
better suit preference by selecting different
modes.
Drive mode availability and affected driver
systems are dependent upon vehicle trim
level, region, and optional features. Driver
modes may include: Weather, Tour, Sport,
and Track, along with two customizable
modes: My mode and Z-mode.
If equipped with E-Ray, there are two
additional EV drive modes and a Hybrid
Battery Charging (Charge+) feature. The two
EV drive modes, Shuttle and Stealth mode,
can be used without turning on the engine.
The Charge+ feature affects how each drive
mode operates.
Climate controls are disabled when in EV
drive modes, since the engine needs to be
running to generate heat or operate the air
conditioning system. The engine autostarts
when climate controls are turned on.
If equipped, the heated and cooled seats,
and the heated steering wheel are enabled
in EV drive modes.

Turning On or Off Charge+
Press the Charge+ button on the drive side
of the center console. When the Charge+
feature is active, the hybrid battery charging
light displays on the DIC. SeeHybrid Battery
Charging Light (Charge+) 087. Also, a small
pop-up window will also appear showing the
exact SOC and electric power input/output.
The Hybrid Battery Gauge shows the
increasing SOC filling into the blue zone. See
Power Indicator Gauge 087.
EV Drive Mode Attributes
Stealth Mode : Use to silently exit your
residence before the engine turns on for
maximum performance capability. The
typical range in Stealth mode is about three to four miles depending on the starting SOC,
vehicle speed, and other driving conditions.
The Stealth Drive Mode Capability Gauge on
the instrument cluster informs the driver of
when the engine will start, see
Stealth Drive
Mode Capability Gauge 086.
Stealth mode automatically deactivates if
the following occurs:
.The vehicle speed exceeds 72 km/h
(45 mph).
.The outside temperature is lower than
10°C (50°F).
.The high voltage battery SOC is lower
than 21%.
.Quickly depressing the accelerator pedal.
.Depressing the accelerator pedal beyond
one-third of the way.
.Turning on the climate controls. See Dual
Automatic Climate Control System 0150.
If one of the conditions occur, an indicator
on the Driver Information Center (DIC)
displays explaining Stealth mode was
automatically deactivated.
When Stealth mode is deactivated, the
vehicle will transition into Tour mode. Stealth mode can only be activated one
time per ON/OFF cycle. Once the engine
auto-starts while in Stealth mode, the only
way to re-enter Stealth mode is to put the
vehicle in P (Park), turn the vehicle off and
repeat the steps above in the
“E-Ray–EV
Drive Mode Activation” section.
Once the engine starts, the propulsion
system transitions from EV propulsion to
engine power. A message will display on the
EV selection menu to indicate how long the
engine power transition will take. This
transition may take two to four seconds
depending on the engine temperature.
The electric power indicator gauge will
indicate a transition from EV propulsion to
engine propulsion. The instrument cluster
will show two or three phases of the
transition (red, yellow, green) and then
display the engine tachometer when the
transition is complete.
If Stealth Mode was used in the beginning
of a drive cycle, the Stop/Start System will
be disabled. The vehicle must be turned off
and restarted normally to enable the Stop/
Start System. See Stop/Start System 0180.

Vehicle Care 281
When driving on a deflated run-flat tire,
avoid potholes and other road hazards that
could damage the tire and/or wheel beyond
repair. When a tire has been damaged, or if
driven any distance while deflated, check
with an authorized run-flat tire service
center to determine whether the tire can be
repaired or should be replaced. To maintain
the run-flat feature, all replacement tires
must be run-flat tires.
To locate the nearest GM or run-flat
servicing facility, call Customer Assistance.
Low-Profile Tires
If the vehicle has 245/35ZR19,
305/30ZR20, 275/30ZR20, or 345/25ZR21
size tires, they are classified as
low-profile tires.Caution
Low-profile tires are more susceptible to
damage from road hazards or curb impact
than standard profile tires. Tire and/or
wheel assembly damage can occur when
coming into contact with road hazards
like potholes, or sharp edged objects,
or when sliding into a curb. The warranty
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
does not cover this type of damage. Keep
tires set to the correct inflation pressure
and when possible, avoid contact with
curbs, potholes, and other road hazards.
Competition Oriented Tires
This vehicle may come with 275/30ZR20 and
345/25ZR21, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R ZP,
competition oriented tires that are DOT
approved for street use. Competition
oriented tires use a special tread pattern
and compound that provide more grip than
normal road tires. The minimum tread depth
will be reached earlier than typical tires,
resulting in reduced tire life. This special
tread pattern and compound will have
decreased performance in cold climates,
heavy rain, and standing water. It is
recommended that winter tires be installed
on the vehicle when driving at temperatures
below approximately 10 °C (50 °F) or on ice
or snow covered roads.
{Warning
Driving on wet roads, in heavy rain,
or through standing water with
competition oriented tires may cause
hydroplaning and loss of control. Use
extreme caution and drive slowly on wet
roads.
{Warning
Driving with competition oriented tires on
snow, ice, or cold road surfaces can cause
loss of control or a crash. Competition
oriented tires are summer season tires
and are not intended to be driven on
snow, ice, or road surfaces below 10 °C
(50 °F). Do not drive a vehicle with
competition oriented tires in these
conditions.
Caution
Competition oriented tires have rubber
compounds that lose flexibility and may
develop surface cracks in the tread area
at temperatures below −7 °C (20 °F).

times as well on the government course
as a tire graded 100. The relative
performance of tires depends upon the
actual conditions of their use, however,
and may depart significantly from the
norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
Traction
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those
grades represent the tire's ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tire marked C may have
poor traction performance. Warning:
The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based on straight-ahead braking
traction tests, and does not include
acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning,
or peak traction characteristics.Temperature
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B, and C, representing the
tire's resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified indoor laboratory test
wheel. Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet
under the Federal Motor Safety
Standard No. 109. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of performance
on the laboratory test wheel than the
minimum required by law. Warning:
The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, underinflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat buildup
and possible tire failure.Wheel Alignment and Tire
Balance
The tires and wheels were aligned and
balanced at the factory to provide the
longest tire life and best overall
performance. Adjustments to wheel
alignment and tire balancing are not
necessary on a regular basis. Consider an
alignment check if there is unusual tire wear
or the vehicle is significantly pulling to one
side or the other. Some slight pull to the
left or right, depending on the crown of the
road and/or other road surface variations
such as troughs or ruts, is normal. If the
vehicle is vibrating when driving on a
smooth road, the tires and wheels may
need to be rebalanced. See your dealer for
proper diagnosis.
Road Imperfections/Crown Effects
The vehicle's precise steering and handling
make it very responsive to road surface
feedback. A slight pull may be felt in the
steering depending on the crown of the
road and/or other road surface variations
such as troughs or ruts. This is normal and
the vehicle does not require service.
