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.

.Keep pets in an appropriate carrier or
restraint.
.Avoid stressful conversations while
driving, whether with a passenger or on a
mobile 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.
Your vehicle may be equipped with features
that can help with hands-free use of the
infotainment system, navigation system,
and your mobile phone. For more
information, see Introduction0147 in the
Infotainment section, Voice Recognition
0 159, Bluetooth (Pairing and Using a Phone)
0 161 or
Bluetooth (Overview) 0160, and Steering
Wheel Controls 0149.
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 052.
.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 (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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.
Average driver reaction time is about
three-quarters of a second. In that time, a
vehicle moving at 100 km/h (60 mph) travels
20 m (66 ft), which could be a lot of
distance in an emergency.
Helpful braking tips to keep in mind include:
.Keep enough distance between you and
the vehicle in front of you.
.Avoid needless heavy braking.
.Keep pace with traffic.

the release to override cruise control, briefly
pressing the thumbwheel down to−SET will
result in the cruise speed being set to the
current vehicle speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well cruise control works on a hill
depends on the vehicle speed, load, and the
steepness of the hill. When driving up a
steep hill, you may need to apply the
accelerator pedal to maintain the cruise
speed. When driving down a steep hill, you
may need to apply the brake pedal to keep
the vehicle speed down. If the brake pedal is
applied, cruise control will disengage.
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to end cruise control:
.Lightly apply the brake pedal.
.Press*.
.Press5.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is erased from
memory if
5is pressed or if the vehicle is
turned off.
Speed Limiter
If equipped, Speed Limiter allows you to set
a maximum speed limit. When Speed Limiter
is active at a set speed, it prevents the
vehicle from accelerating above the set
speed even if you continue to accelerate.
Speed Limiter can be used at speeds of
about 20 km/h (12 mph) or more.
You can temporarily override the set speed.
See “Overriding Speed Limiter” later in this
section.
Speed Limiter does not limit the vehicle
speed when driving down a hill. If the
vehicle speed exceeds the set speed when
driving down a hill, beeps will sound to alert
you that the vehicle has exceeded the set
speed.
{Warning
Speed Limiter does not automatically
apply the brakes in emergency braking
situations. To avoid possible injury or
death, always be prepared to brake in
emergencies and pay careful attention to
the road ahead while driving. Speed Limiter will automatically be
disabled if:
.Cruise control or Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) is turned on, if equipped.
.Super Cruise is turned on, if equipped.
Speed Limiter is controlled using the +RES
and −SET thumbwheel and the
*button on
the steering wheel:
+RES : Move the thumbwheel up to resume
Speed Limiter at the last set speed in
memory, to increase the set speed (Manual
mode), or to increase the offset
(Auto mode).
−SET : Move the thumbwheel down to
choose the set speed, to decrease the set
speed (Manual mode), or to decrease the
offset (Auto mode).
*: Press to disengage Speed Limiter while
keeping the last set speed in memory.
Automatic Speed Limiter
Automatic Speed Limiter uses an on-board
camera and navigation data to identify
speed limit road signs and propose a new
set speed based on that data.

{Warning
Super Cruise Lane Change may not detect
a vehicle in an adjacent lane. Always
supervise the driving task and monitor
traffic conditions when using the Super
Cruise Lane Change feature. Only request
a lane change when traffic conditions are
safe for a lane change, and always be
ready to manually steer the vehicle. See
“Steering Manually and Changing Lanes”
listed previously in this section.
Super Cruise Navigation Route Follow Using
In-Vehicle Google Maps
If equipped, when an active route is selected
using in-vehicle Google Maps, on Super
Cruise-enabled roads when Super Cruise is
active, Super Cruise may take the following
actions to follow the route:
.Initiate an automatic lane change to left
or right.
.Select the direction of travel at a lane
split.
.Maintain the current lane of travel when
following a slower moving vehicle. The driver must always remain prepared to
take control of the vehicle to follow the
route. In some scenarios Super Cruise may
not perform the required lane change.
Super Cruise will not perform the required
lane change if Automatic Lane Change is
unavailable or disabled.
Take Over Alert
{Warning
Super Cruise will not maintain the
vehicle’s speed while the steering wheel
light bar is flashing red. If the steering
wheel light bar flashes red, immediately
resume manual steering to prevent
serious injury or death. If you do not
resume manual steering, the vehicle will
begin to slow in the same lane and
eventually come to a complete stop on
the road.
Any time the steering wheel light bar
flashes red, resume manual steering
immediately. To begin steering manually, hold the
steering wheel firmly (with both hands)
using the highlighted regions as shown in
the picture below.
The instrument cluster lightZ, will also
turn red and a message will display in the
Driver Information Center (DIC). In addition,
beeps will sound, or the Safety Alert Seat
will vibrate. To view Collision and Detection
options from the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems. After you begin steering manually,
then Super Cruise will disengage.

When the vehicle is in D (Drive), a bicyclist
can be detected 3 m (10 ft) behind the
vehicle or to the side of the vehicle.
Turning the Feature On or Off
Bicyclist Detection can be turned on or off
through vehicle settings. To view available
settings from the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection

Blind Zone Steering Assist (BZSA)
If equipped, the Blind Zone Steering Assist
(BZSA) system can detect a potential crash
with a moving vehicle in the lane you are
entering. It provides a brief, urgent turn of
the steering wheel to alert you to take
action to avoid a collision.
BZSA works with the Lane Keep Assist (LKA).
BZSA operates when the vehicle is in a
forward gear, and only when LKA is enabled
and able to assist. SeeLane Keep Assist
(LKA) 0274.
BZSA will provide a steering correction when
your vehicle is about to leave the current
lane of travel, with the possibility of a
collision with a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
This steering correction happens closer to
the center of the lane and has a stronger steering correction than LKA. Unlike LKA, the
steering correction with BSZA will happen
even if your turn signal is on in the
direction of lane departure.
In addition to the BZSA steering
intervention, the
Awill turn amber, six
beeps or six seat pulses will occur,
if equipped with Safety Alert Seat, and
8or|will flash on the outside
rear view mirror.
{Warning
Do not rely on Blind Zone Steering Assist
(BZSA) to prevent crashes. This system
does not replace the need to pay
attention and drive safely. Failure to use
proper care when driving may result in
vehicle damage, injury, or death.
.BZSA performance may be affected by
weather and road conditions.
.BZSA does not provide steering
assistance to avoid a vehicle that is in,
or has entered, your lane of travel.
.BZSA will not prevent a towed trailer
from crossing into the adjacent lane.
Always monitor the trailer position
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
while towing to ensure it is in the
same lane as your vehicle. BZSA is
only designed to detect when your
vehicle unintentionally crosses
detected lane lines.
Traffic Sign Assistant
If equipped, Traffic Sign Assistant recognizes
designated traffic signs via the front camera
located behind the windshield in front of the
interior rear view mirror, and displays the
detected speed limit in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). Additionally, speed
limit information from the navigation
system map database may be used.
Caution
The system is intended to assist the
driver within a defined speed range to
discern certain traffic signs. Always pay
attention to posted speed limit signs.
Do not ignore traffic signs which are not
displayed by the system.

Navigation System Traffic Sign Detection
The currently displayed sign can either
originate from sign detection using the
camera, or from the navigation system map
data. If the currently displayed sign
originates from map data and the map
information changes, a new sign will be
displayed. This may lead to detection of a
new sign although no sign on the road may
have been passed. If the map data is
unavailable, Traffic Sign Assistant will turn
off automatically.
Limitations
Traffic sign memory may not operate
correctly if:
.The area of the windshield, where the
front camera is located, is not clean or is
affected by foreign objects, e.g. stickers,
window tinting, etc.
.Traffic signs are completely or partially
covered, are too low or high or difficult to
discern.
.Traffic signs are incorrectly mounted or
are damaged.
.Traffic signs do not comply with the
approved traffic sign standards.
.The speed limit is displayed by certain
types of electronic speed signs.
.There are adverse environmental
conditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow, direct
sunlight or shadows.
.The headlights are dirty or not correctly
aligned when driving at night.
.The navigation map data is out of date.
.The navigation map is unavailable.
Driver Attention Assist
If equipped, Driver Attention Assist alerts
the driver to pay closer attention to the
road ahead. Driver Attention Assist uses a
camera-based Driver Monitoring System. The
Driver Monitoring System on the steering
column continually monitors the driver's
head movements and eye gaze location to
determine if the driver is drowsy or
distracted. Depending on the level of the
driver’s distraction or drowsiness, Driver
Attention Assist will provide visual warnings,
chimes, and haptic movements to gently
guide the driver to look back at the road.
Sunglasses, hats, or other types of clothing
that change the shape of the head may
interfere with camera performance. To
improve camera performance, raise or lower
the steering wheel, or change the seat
position.
Driver Attention Assist does not record video
or audio. It is only active while driving with
the feature enabled.
How to Activate Driver Attention Assist
Driver Attention Assist turns on
automatically every time the vehicle is
started. The feature can be enabled or
disabled through vehicle settings. To view
