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

Driving Information
Driving for Better Energy
Efficiency
Use the following tips to help maximize
energy efficiency and driving range.
The Energy Usage card available on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) estimates
the influence of the main factors impacting
vehicle range. It displays how energy is
being used for the current drive
as percentages of overall vehicle energy use.
See Driver Information Center (DIC) (Base
Level) 0129 or
Driver Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel)
0 130 and
Vehicle Status 0132.
Acceleration/Braking/Coasting
Avoid rapid accelerations and decelerations.
Driving range is maximized at 89 km/h
(55 mph) and less.
Use cruise control when appropriate.
Using the steering wheel paddle during
deceleration recovers more energy. See
Regenerative Braking 0206. Terrain and Vehicle Speed
Plan ahead for decelerations and coast
whenever possible. Do not rush to traffic
signals. Do not shift to N (Neutral) to coast.
Higher speeds and grade changes use more
energy and can significantly reduce driving
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 seat features instead of
climate control system. Heating the seat
uses less energy than heating and cooling
the interior.
Use remote start to heat or cool the interior
when the vehicle is plugged in to maximize
the driving range by using electricity from
the electrical outlet.
In hot weather, avoid parking in direct
sunlight or use sunshades inside the vehicle.

16702912) - 2024 - CRC - 1/17/23
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.

.Park exactly centered in a very large spot.
.Always detect short curbs.
.Operate while towing any trailer.
.Function the vehicle is raised or lowered
by air suspension,if equipped.
When the System Does Not Seem to Work
Properly
If the vehicle does not reverse into the
expected parking space, the system could be
maneuvering the vehicle into a previously
detected space.
Remote Auto Parking
If equipped, the vehicle can complete the
automatic parking maneuvers while the
driver authorizes the maneuver via the
myChevrolet app on a compatible mobile
phone outside of the vehicle. The driver can
also activate an automatic parallel or
perpendicular unparking maneuver via the
myChevrolet app. The driver must always be
prepared to cancel the automatic maneuver
if necessary.
Remote Auto Parking works the same way
and has the same limitations as the
standard APA feature described above. The
main difference is that you must instead
exit the vehicle and use the
myChevrolet app.
{Warning
When using the remote parking feature,
stay within a short distance and visually
monitor the vehicle until parking is
complete. Do not leave the vehicle
unsupervised during remote parking.
How to Activate Remote Auto Parking
To activate Remote Auto Parking, press
O
on the infotainment screen for the system
to begin searching for a parking space while
driving forward at no greater than
30 km/h (18 mph). APA searches for parking
spaces to the left or right of the vehicle up

Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
Backing Warning and Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
Vehicles with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
have the Backing Warning System and
Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) system.
When in R (Reverse), Backing Warning alerts
of rear objects at vehicle speeds greater
than 8 km/h (5 mph), and RAB may
automatically brake hard at speeds between
1-32 km/h (0.5-20 mph).
The Backing Warning System will beep once
from the rear when an object is first
detected, or pulse twice on both sides of the
Safety Alert Seat. When the system detects
a potential crash, beeps will be heard from
the rear, or five pulses will be felt on both
sides of the Safety Alert Seat. There may
also be a brief, sharp application of the
brakes.
{Warning
The Backing Warning System only
operates at speeds greater than 8 km/h
(5 mph). It does not detect children,
pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, or objects
below the bumper or that are too close
or too far from the vehicle. In some
situations, such as at higher backing
speeds, there may not be enough time
for the short, sharp application of the
vehicle brake system to occur. To prevent
injury, death, or vehicle damage, even
with the Backing Warning System, always
check the area around the vehicle and
check all mirrors before backing.
