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.

Warning (Continued)
another vehicle. You could be seriously
injured or killed. As you near the top of a
hill, slow down and stay alert.
.When possible, drive straight up or down
the hill.
.Slow down when approaching the top of
the hill.
.Use headlamps even during the day to
make the vehicle more visible.
.Never go downhill forward or backward
with the vehicle in N (Neutral). The brakes
could overheat and you could lose
control.
.When driving down a hill, keep the
vehicle headed straight down. Use L (Low)
mode to slow the vehicle and help keep
the vehicle under control.
{Warning
Do not coast downhill in N (Neutral) or
with the vehicle turned off. SeeHill and
Mountain Roads 0190 for tips on
maximizing regenerative braking and
minimizing the load on the brake system. (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Heavy braking when going down a hill
can cause your brakes to overheat and
fade. This could cause loss of control and
you or others could be injured or killed.
Apply the brakes lightly when descending
a hill and use a low mode to keep vehicle
speed under control.
.Avoid turns that take the vehicle across
the incline of the hill. Driving across an
incline puts more weight on the downhill
wheels, which could cause a downhill
slide or a rollover.
.Loose gravel, muddy spots, or even wet
grass can cause the tires to slip sideways,
downhill. If the vehicle slips sideways, it
can hit an object or a rut and potentially
roll over.
.Hidden obstacles can make the steepness
of the incline more severe. If a rock is
driven across with the uphill wheels, or if
the downhill wheels drop into a rut or
depression, the vehicle can tilt even more.
.If an incline must be driven across, and
the vehicle starts to slide, turn downhill.
This should help straighten out the
vehicle and prevent side slipping.
{Warning
Getting out of the vehicle on the
downhill side when stopped across an
incline is dangerous. If the vehicle rolls
over, you could be crushed or killed.
Always get out on the uphill side of the
vehicle and stay well clear of the
rollover path.
Driving in Mud, Sand, Snow, or Ice
Use L (Low) mode when driving in mud.
Keep the vehicle moving to avoid getting
stuck.
Traction changes when driving on sand. On
loose sand, such as on beaches or sand
dunes, the tires tend to sink into the sand.
This affects steering, accelerating, and
braking. Drive at a reduced speed and avoid
sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers.
Traction is reduced on hard-packed snow and
ice, and it is easy to lose control. Reduce
vehicle speed when driving on hard-packed
snow and ice.

.After exiting the water, repeatedly and
gently apply the brakes to dry them off
and restore effectiveness.
If Something Goes Wrong
If during your off-road experience a warning
light or warning message displays on the
instrument cluster, or if the vehicle sustains
damage, stop driving as soon as it is safe to
do so. Correct the condition if possible
before continuing driving. If a warning light
or message appears, or if the condition
cannot be corrected, see your dealer. See
Vehicle Messages0135.
If the vehicle is operating with reduced
acceleration or reduced propulsion, stop
your off-road experience and drive slowly to
an accessible point for further assistance.
The vehicle should be taken to your dealer
for service as soon as possible. See
Propulsion Power Messages 0136 and
Propulsion Power is Limited Light 0115.
{Warning
A vehicle with driveline damage may roll
when shifted into P (Park). Always set
the Electric Parking Brake before
inspecting for driveline damage or when
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
securing the vehicle on a flatbed tow
truck. SeeElectric Parking Brake 0205
and
Transporting a Disabled Vehicle 0378.
After Driving Your Vehicle Off-Road
Be sure to switch out of Off-Road Mode or
Terrain Mode to return to normal driving.
See Driver Mode Control 0209.
Remove any brush or debris that has
collected on the underbody or chassis,
or under the hood. Clean the lens of the
underbody camera. These accumulations can
be a fire hazard.
The extreme conditions of off-road driving
require more frequent maintenance service.
See "Severe Conditions Requiring More
Frequent Maintenance" and "Additional
Required Services —Severe Service" on
Maintenance Schedule 0389.
After operation in mud or sand, have the
brake linings cleaned and checked. These
substances can cause glazing and uneven
braking. Check the body structure, driveline, steering,
suspension, wheels, tires, and other vehicle
systems for damage, or have these
inspections done by your dealer.
{Warning
Lifting a vehicle and getting under it to
do maintenance or repairs is dangerous
without the appropriate safety equipment
and training. If a jack is provided with
the vehicle, it is designed only for
changing a flat tire. If it is used for
anything else, you or others could be
badly injured or killed if the vehicle slips
off the jack. If a jack is provided with the
vehicle, only use it for changing a
flat tire.
Driving on Wet Roads
Rain and wet roads can reduce vehicle
traction and affect your ability to stop and
accelerate. Always drive slower in these
types of driving conditions and avoid driving
through large puddles and deep-standing or
flowing water.

16702912) - 2024 - CRC - 1/17/23
190 Driving and Operating
{Warning
Wet brakes can cause crashes. They
might not work as well in a quick stop
and could cause pulling to one side. You
could lose control of the vehicle.
After driving through a large puddle of
water or a car/vehicle wash, lightly apply
the brake pedal until the brakes work
normally.
Flowing or rushing water creates strong
forces. Driving through flowing water
could cause the vehicle to be carried
away. If this happens, you and other
vehicle occupants could drown. Do not
ignore police warnings and be very
cautious about trying to drive through
flowing water.
Hydroplaning
Hydroplaning is dangerous. Water can build
up under the vehicle's tires so they actually
ride on the water. This can happen when
the road is wet and you are driving fast.
When the vehicle is hydroplaning, it has
little or no contact with the road.There is no hard and fast rule about
hydroplaning. The best advice is to slow
down when the road is wet.
Other Rainy Weather Tips
Besides slowing down, other wet weather
driving tips include:
.Allow extra following distance.
.Pass with caution.
.Keep windshield wiping equipment in
good shape, and keep the windshield
washer fluid reservoir filled.
.Ensure the tires are maintained and have
proper tread depth. See
Tires0344.
.Turn off any cruise control, if equipped.
See Adaptive Cruise Control (Advanced)
0 217 or
Super Cruise 0227.
.Turn off One-Pedal Driving mode. See
One-Pedal Driving 0203.
.Turn on the Traction Control System (TCS)
and the Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
See Traction Control/Electronic Stability
Control 0207.
Hill and Mountain Roads
{Warning
Do not charge your vehicle’s battery
above an 80% charge if you are going to
drive down long, steep grades such as
mountain passes. This provides room in
the battery for regenerative braking to
supplement your conventional brakes
during the descent. This is especially
important when towing a trailer, which
puts additional stress on your vehicle’s
braking system.
If the battery becomes full, regenerative
braking will be limited or unavailable. The
brakes will have to do all the work of
slowing down the vehicle and could
become too hot. Hot brakes may not be
able to slow the vehicle enough to
maintain speed and control. To help avoid
the risk of a crash, limit the battery’s
charge and, if you experience brake fade
or receive a brake warning, stop the
vehicle and allow the brakes to cool.
See “Charge Now” underCharging 0123
for information on setting charge limits.
