Operation Tips
.Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from
the air inlets at the base of the
windshield that may block the flow of air
into the vehicle.
.Clear snow off the hood to improve
visibility and help decrease moisture
drawn into the vehicle.
.Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors
may adversely affect the performance of
the system.
.Keep the areas around the base of the
infotainment display and under the seats
clear to optimize air circulation.
Maintenance
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air filter
reduces dust, pollen, and other airborne
irritants from outside air that are pulled into
the vehicle. Reductions in airflow, which
may occur more often in dusty areas,
indicate that the filter may need to be
replaced. See Maintenance Schedule 0316.
Caution
Driving without a passenger compartment
air filter in place can cause water and
small particles, like paper and leaves, to
be pulled into your climate control
system which may cause damage to it.
Make sure you always replace the old
filter with a new one.
The passenger compartment air filter is
located under the hood between the battery
and windshield. See Underhood
Compartment Overview 0235. To check or replace the air filter:
1. Release the four clips for the left and
right outer covers.

.Watch the road. Do not read, take notes,
or look up information on phones or
other electronic devices.
.Designate a front seat passenger to
handle potential distractions.
.Become familiar with vehicle features
before driving, such as programming
favorite radio stations and adjusting
climate control and seat settings. Program
all trip information into any navigation
device prior to driving.
.Wait until the vehicle is parked to
retrieve items that have fallen to the
floor.
.Stop or park the vehicle to tend to
children.
.Keep pets in an appropriate carrier or
restraint.
.Avoid stressful conversations while
driving, whether with a passenger or on a
cell phone.
{Warning
Taking your eyes off the road too long or
too often could cause a crash resulting in
injury or death. Focus your attention on
driving.Refer to the infotainment section for more
information on using that system and the
navigation system, if equipped, including
pairing and using a cell phone.
Defensive Driving
Defensive driving means to always expect
the unexpected. The first step in driving
defensively is to wear a seat belt. See
Seat
Belts 045.
.Assume that other road users
(pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers)
are going to be careless and make
mistakes. Anticipate what they may do
and be ready.
.Allow enough following distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle in front
of you.
.Focus on the task of driving.
Impaired Driving
Death and injury associated with impaired
driving is a global tragedy.
{Warning
Drinking alcohol or taking drugs and then
driving is very dangerous. Your reflexes,
perceptions, attentiveness, and judgment
can be affected by even a small amount
of alcohol or drugs. You can have a
serious —or even fatal —collision if you
drive after drinking or taking drugs.
Do not drive while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs, or ride with a driver
who has been drinking or is impaired by
drugs. Find alternate transportation
home; or if you are with a group,
designate a driver who will remain sober.
Control of a Vehicle
Braking, steering, and accelerating are
important factors in helping to control a
vehicle while driving.
Braking
Braking action involves perception time and
reaction time. Deciding to push the brake
pedal is perception time. Actually doing it is
reaction time.

if the vehicle is not in P (Park) with the
parking brake set. The vehicle can roll.
Do not leave the vehicle when the engine
is running. If you have left the engine
running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured. To be
sure the vehicle will not move, even
when you are on fairly level ground,
always set the parking brake and shift to
P (Park).
To shift into P (Park): 1. Hold the brake pedal down and set the parking brake. See Electric Parking Brake
0 192.

Driving and Operating 201
{Warning
When exiting Stealth mode, allow
sufficient time for the vehicle to
automatically start the engine and
develop full system propulsion power
before merging into traffic. Attempting to
merge into traffic before the engine has
reached full power could cause a crash
resulting in vehicle damage, personal
injury, or death. It is best to exit Stealth
mode first and allow the engine to reach
full capacity before engaging in traffic.
Shuttle Mode : Use to propel the vehicle
using only electric power. Shuttle mode is
not intended for public roads. The typical
range in Shuttle mode is about four to
five miles depending on the starting SOC,
vehicle speed, terrain, and other driving
conditions. While the vehicle is in Shuttle
mode, the instrument cluster only displays
the vehicle speed, battery gauge, and a
electric power indicator gauge. The infotainment screen will only show the
date and time. If equipped, the HUD system
will not be functional.
Shuttle mode automatically deactivates if
the following occurs:
.The vehicle speed exceeds 24 km/h
(15 mph).
.The outside temperature is lower than
–
10°C (14°F).
.The high voltage battery SOC is 0%.
To deactivate Shuttle mode, put the vehicle
in P (Park) and turn off the vehicle. Then,
start the vehicle normally.
Shuttle mode will automatically start to
reduce propulsion power as the SOC reaches
0%. The message Start Engine to Charge
Battery will display on the instrument
cluster when the SOC reaches 5%.
If the engine is not started, propulsion
power reduces automatically and the vehicle
comes to a stop. The only way to charge your battery is to
start and run the vehicle from Normal mode.
See
“Normal Mode” later on in this section.
Do not store the hybrid battery with a low
SOC for an extended period of time. It is
best to store the battery in the white
eAWD zone.
Normal Mode : Use to have a normal
engine start when going through the EV
drive mode selection process.
Starting and running the vehicle from
Normal mode allows the engine and front
electric motor to regenerate power to
charge the hybrid battery.

Performance Driving
If equipped, Competitive Driving mode,
Performance Traction Management (PTM),
and Launch Control are systems designed to
allow increased performance while
accelerating and/or cornering. This is
accomplished by regulating and optimizing
the engine, brakes, and suspension performance. These modes are for use at a
closed course race track and are not
intended for use on public roads. They will
not compensate for driver inexperience or
lack of familiarity with a race track.
Drivers who prefer to allow the system to
have more control of the engine, brakes,
and suspension are advised to turn on the
normal traction control and StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems on.
If equipped with E-Ray, there is a
Performance app on the infotainment screen
that shows the vehicle electric and engine
power/torque. See
“E-Ray Performance App”
later in this section for more information.
E-Ray Performance App
If equipped with E-Ray, to access the
Performance App, select the performance
app icon on the infotainment screen. The
landing screen of the Performance app is the
gauges page.
