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.

192 Driving and Operating
If you stay in your vehicle while waiting,
signal for help and keep everyone in the
vehicle safe by turning on the hazard
warning flashers and tying a red cloth to an
outside mirror.
To conserve battery energy while waiting
for help, run the vehicle for only short
periods as needed to warm the vehicle and
then shut the vehicle off and partially close
the window. Moving about to keep warm
also helps. For additional tips to help
conserve battery energy in cold weather, see
Driving for Better Energy Efficiency0181.
If the Vehicle Is Stuck
Slowly and cautiously spin the wheels to
free the vehicle when stuck in sand, mud,
ice, or snow. See “Rocking the Vehicle to Get
It Out” later in this section.
The Traction Control/Electronic Stability
Control can often help to free a stuck
vehicle. See Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control 0207. If TCS/ESC cannot
free the vehicle, see “Rocking the Vehicle to
Get it Out” following.
{Warning
If the vehicle’s tires spin at high speed,
they can explode, and you or others
could be injured. Spin the wheels as little
as possible and avoid going above
56 km/h (35 mph).
For information about using tire chains on
the vehicle, see Tire Chains0361.
Rocking the Vehicle to Get It Out
Turn the steering wheel left and right to
clear the area around the front wheels. Turn
the TCS off. Shift back and forth between
R (Reverse) and a forward gear, spinning the
wheels as little as possible. To prevent
battery wear, wait until the wheels stop
spinning before shifting gears. Slowly
spinning the wheels in the forward and
reverse directions causes a rocking motion
that could free the vehicle. If that does not
get the vehicle out after a few tries, it
might need to be towed out using recovery
hooks if equipped.
Recovery Hooks
If equipped, there are recovery hooks at the
front of the vehicle. Use them if the vehicle
is stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow to pull
the vehicle back to the road and continue
driving.
{Warning
Never pull on recovery hooks from the
side. The hooks could break and you and
others could be injured. When using
recovery hooks, always pull the vehicle
from the front.
Caution
Never use recovery hooks to tow the
vehicle. The vehicle could be damaged,
and the repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.

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

When parking your vehicle and trailer on
a hill:1. Press and hold the brake pedal, but do not shift into P (Park). Turn the wheels
toward the curb if facing downhill or
toward traffic if facing uphill.
2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels.
3. When the wheel chocks are in place, gradually release the brake pedal to
allow the chocks to absorb the load of
the trailer.
4. Reapply the brake pedal. Then apply the electric parking brake and shift into
P (Park).
5. Release the brake pedal.
Leaving After Parking on a Hill
1. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
.Start the vehicle.
.Shift into the desired gear.
.Release the parking brake.
2. Let up on the brake pedal.

Launching and Retrieving a Boat
Backing the Trailer into the Water
{Warning
.Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle before backing onto the sloped
part of the ramp. Lower the driver and
passenger side windows before
backing onto the ramp. This will
provide a means of escape in the
unlikely event the vehicle slides into
the water.
.If the boat launch surface is slippery,
have the driver remain in the vehicle
with the brake pedal applied while the
boat is being launched. The boat
launch can be especially slippery at
low tide when part of the ramp was
previously submerged at high tide. Do
not back onto the ramp to launch the
boat if you are not sure the vehicle
can maintain traction.
.Do not move the vehicle if someone is
in the path of the trailer. Some parts
of the trailer might be underwater and
not visible to people who are assisting
in launching the boat. Disconnect the trailer wiring before backing
the trailer into the water to prevent damage
to the electrical circuits. Reconnect the
wiring to the trailer after removing the
trailer from the water. If the trailer has
electric brakes that can function when the
trailer is submerged, it might help to leave
the electrical trailer connector attached to
maintain trailer brake functionality while on
the boat ramp.
To back the trailer into the water:
1. Slowly back down the boat ramp until the boat is floating, but no further than
necessary.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal, but do not shift into P (Park).
3. Have someone place chocks under the front wheels of the vehicle.
4. Gradually release the brake pedal to allow the chocks to absorb the load of
the trailer.
