Rear Window Defogger
1REAR :If equipped, press to turn the
rear window defogger on or off. An indicator
light on the button comes on to show that
the rear window defogger is on.
The rear window defogger only works when
the vehicle is on. The defogger turns off if
the vehicle is turned off.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated
outside mirrors, they turn on when the rear
window defogger button is on and help to
clear fog or frost from the surface of the
mirror. See Heated Mirrors 036.
Caution
Using a razor blade or sharp object to
clear the inside rear window can damage
the rear window defogger. Repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Do not clear the inside rear window with
sharp objects.
Remote Start Climate Control Operation :
If equipped with remote start, the climate
control system may run when the vehicle is
started remotely. If equipped with heated or ventilated seats or a heated steering wheel,
these features may come on during a
remote start. See
Remote Vehicle Start 014,
Heated and Ventilated Front Seats 047, and
Heated Steering Wheel 097.
Sensors
The solar sensor, on top of the instrument
panel near the windshield, monitors the
solar heat.
The climate control system uses the sensor
information to adjust the temperature, fan
speed, recirculation, and air delivery mode
for best comfort. Do not cover the sensor; otherwise the
automatic climate control system may not
work properly.
Afterblow Feature
If equipped, under certain conditions, the
fan may stay on or may turn on and off
several times after you turn off and lock the
vehicle. This is normal.
ECO Climate
When ECO Climate is on, airflow to
unoccupied rear seats will be reduced for
energy efficiency. To turn ECO Climate off or
on, select Settings > Vehicle > Climate and
Air Quality > ECO Climate.
Air Vents
Use the sliding knobs on the center and side
air vents to change the direction of the
airflow.
Air vents blow warm air on the side
windows in cold weather. If Floor, Defog,
or Defrost modes are selected, a small
amount of air will come from the vents
closest to the window.

182 Driving and Operating
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 driving range.
SeeBattery Gauge (High Voltage) 0110.
Outside Temperature
In cold weather conditions, it is best to plug
in the vehicle overnight, then remote start
the vehicle.
Allow the vehicle to warm up for
20 minutes before driving.
If possible, use a level 2 (240 volt) high
power charge station for best results. This
allows the interior of the vehicle and high
voltage battery to warm to the optimal
temperature.
In colder temperatures, while these
efficiency tips will help, the driving range
will be lower due to higher energy usage
including energy spent heating the cabin.
Vehicle Charging/Maintenance
Charging
Keep the vehicle plugged in, even when fully
charged, to maintain the battery
temperature ready for the next drive. This is
important when outside temperatures are
extremely hot or cold.
Maintenance
Always keep the tires properly inflated and
aligned.
Avoid unnecessary use of electrical
accessories. Power used for functions other
than propelling the vehicle will reduce
driving range.
Cargo Weight
The weight of excess cargo in the vehicle
affects efficiency and driving range. Avoid
carrying more than is needed.
Using a rooftop carrier will reduce efficiency
due to additional weight and drag.
Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many forms and can
take your focus from the task of driving.
Exercise good judgment and do not let other
activities divert your attention away from the road. Many local governments have
enacted laws regarding driver distraction.
Become familiar with the local laws in
your area.
To avoid distracted driving, keep your eyes
on the road, keep your hands on the
steering wheel, and focus your attention on
driving.
.Do not use a phone in demanding driving
situations. Use a hands-free method to
place or receive necessary phone calls.
.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.

292 Driving and Operating
the charging. If this error continues, stop
charging your vehicle. See your dealer for
service.
Charge Level Selection
Charge level selection can be made using
the Charging tab in the Energy Application
on the infotainment display. For instructions
to set cord limit settings for a charge
session, seeCharging0123.
{Warning
Using a charge level that exceeds the
electrical circuit or electrical outlet
capacity may start a fire or damage the
electrical circuit. Use the lowest charge
level until a qualified electrician inspects
the electrical circuit capacity. Use the
lowest charge level if the electrical circuit
or electrical outlet capacity is not known.
Troubleshooting
Disconnect the charge cord from the vehicle
and confirm that the attachment plug is not
too hot to grasp before removing. If it is not hot, manually reboot the charge
cord by unplugging and re-plugging the
attachment plug into the electrical outlet.
If the same fault reoccurs, test the charge
cord with a different electrical outlet.
The charge cord monitors temperature at
several locations and may reduce charging
power or interrupt charging if temperatures
become too high. The charge cord status
indicators illuminate and identify this fault.
In hot climates, move the charge cord away
from direct sunlight and/or hot surfaces
such as asphalt paving for approximately
30 minutes.
If there are signs of melting or scorching, do
not touch the charge cord or attachment
plug. Have a qualified electrician inspect and
repair the issue.
If there are no signs of damage, check how
firm the fit of the plug is. If the plug easily
pulls away from the electrical outlet, test
the plug on a known good electrical outlet.
If the fault condition returns, have your
charge cord inspected by your dealership.
If the fault does not return, stop using the
suspected circuit and have a qualified
electrician inspect and repair the issue.
Grounding Instructions
The charge circuit must be grounded. If the
charge circuit should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for the electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with a cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
{Warning
Improper connection of the charge cord
ground may cause electrical shock. Check
with a qualified electrician if there is
doubt as to whether the charge circuit is
properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the product. If it will
not fit the electrical outlet, have a proper
electrical outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
