Caution
To avoid vehicle damage, do not open
the inner tailgate when the primary
tailgate is open if there is not enough
distance to the attached hitch ball or
trailer.
To close the inner tailgate with the primary
tailgate closed, firmly push or pull it upward
until it latches. Pull or push it back to be
sure it is latched securely.
To close the inner tailgate with the primary
tailgate open:
.Hold the primary tailgate and firmly close
the inner tailgate.
.Raise the inner tailgate so it meets the
primary tailgate and close together at the
same time.
When using the tailgate step as a load stop,
the load must be secured as the load could
shift. See Cargo Tie-Downs 094.
Tailgate Step (Step Mode)
{Warning
To avoid personal injury, keep hands
away from the hinges when operating
the tailgate step.
With the primary and inner tailgates open,
the tailgate step can be lowered to access
the pickup bed.
Using the Step
Caution
When using the tailgate as a step, the
load rating is 170 kg (375 lb), which
includes a person and cargo. Overloading
the tailgate step can cause damage to
the tailgate system.
.To lower the tailgate step, press the
button at the center of the step. Make
sure it lowers to the fully open position.

Traction Off Light
This light comes on briefly when the vehicle
is turned on to show that the light is
working. If it does not come on then, have
it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if
there is a problem.
The traction off light comes on when the
Traction Control System (TCS) has been
turned off. If Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) is turned off, TCS is also turned off. To
turn TCS and ESC off and on, see Traction
Control/Electronic Stability Control 0207.
If TCS is off, wheel slip during acceleration is
not limited unless necessary to help protect
the driveline from damage. Adjust driving
accordingly.

This light comes on briefly when the vehicle
is turned on to show that the light is
working. If it does not come on then, have
it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if
there is a problem.
If the light is on and not flashing, the TCS
and potentially the ESC system are not fully
operational and may not assist in
maintaining control. Adjust driving
accordingly. If the condition persists, see
your dealer as soon as possible. A Driver
Information Center (DIC) message may
display.
The light flashes when the TCS and/or the
ESC system is actively working.
See Traction Control/Electronic Stability
Control 0207.
The light may also flash when ABS is active.

Charge Now
Charge Now is the default charging mode
for your vehicle. The vehicle begins charging
immediately when it is plugged in and
authenticated at the charging location.
With Charge Now selected, the Charging
screen displays:
.Text explaining that the vehicle will
charge immediately when plugged in.
.Charge Complete by/in: The estimated
time at which the vehicle will reach the
desired Charge Level.
.Target Charge Level Gauge: Sets
the percentage at which the vehicle will
stop charging. The gauge also displays an
estimate of the vehicle's range upon
completing the charging session.
{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.
SeeHill and Mountain Roads 0190 for
important information about driving on
grades.
The default charge level is 100% when
plugged in. To set a different charge level,
drag the circular marker on the Target
Charge Level Gauge to the preferred value.
To lower the desired Charge Level, drag the
Charge Level marker counterclockwise, and
to increase it drag the marker clockwise. The
Charge Level can also be changed by
tapping
«andªinside the gauge on the
screen. The Range estimate updates once
the desired Charge Level is set. To optimize
battery health, the minimum allowable
Charge Level is determined by the vehicle. Charge Later
Instead of charging immediately to a desired
Charge Level, you may choose to delay the
charge to the vehicle and have it complete
by your desired departure time. This may be
a more economical choice and a more
efficient use of energy when charging at
home. To use this mode, touch the Charge
Later tab from the Next Charge screen.
With Charge Later selected, the Charging
screen displays:
.Text explaining that your vehicle will
delay the planned charge to be ready by
the time specified.
.Time Selector: Used to set the desired
time at which the vehicle will finish
charging and be ready for departure.

130 Instruments and Controls
Tire Pressure :Shows the approximate
pressures of all four tires. Tire pressure is
displayed in either kilopascal (kPa) or in
pounds per square inch (psi). If the pressure
is low, the value for that tire is shown in
amber. See Tire Pressure Monitor System
0 351 and
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation 0351.
If equipped, Tire Temperature is located near
the tire pressure graphic. Tire Temperature
shows overall temperature as either Cold,
Cool, Normal, Warm, or Hot. Normal is
typical for normal driving while Warm is
typical for spirited driving. Unknown
displays when tire temperature information
is unavailable.
Trailer Brake : On vehicles with the
Integrated Trailer Brake Control (ITBC)
system, the trailer brake display appears in
the DIC.
TRAILER GAIN shows the trailer gain setting.
This setting can be adjusted from 0.0 to 10.0
with either a trailer connected or
disconnected.
TRAILER OUTPUT shows the power output to
the trailer any time a trailer with electric
brakes is connected. Output is displayed as a
bar graph. Dotted lines may appear in the
OUTPUT display if a trailer is not connected. Energy Usage :
Shows energy usage of the
Driving, Remote Start, Climate and
Conditioning vehicle systems as percentages
of overall vehicle energy use.
Energy Efficiency : Shows a graph showing
the energy efficiency that has been used by
the vehicle over a recently driven distance.

DIC Information Displays
The following is the list of all possible DIC
information displays and their locations.
Some of the information displays may not
be available for your particular vehicle.
Left Zone
Trip 1 or Trip 2 and Average Efficiency :The
Trip display shows the current distance
traveled, in either kilometers (km) or
miles (mi), since the trip odometer was last
reset. To reset the current trip, touch and
hold the touchscreen display when trip
odometer is displayed on the vehicle status
screen.
The Average Efficiency shows the
approximate average kWh per
100 kilometers (kWh/100 km), kilometers
per kilowatt hour kWh (km/kWh), or miles
per kilowatt hour kWh(mi/kWh). This
number is calculated based on the number
of kWh/100 km, km/kWh, or mi/kWh
recorded since the last time this menu item
was reset. This number only reflects the
approximate average electrical energy
economy that the vehicle has at that
moment, and changes as driving conditions
change. Current Trip :
Displays distance driven,
average efficiency, and time elapsed since
vehicle startup. It resets when you turn your
vehicle off.
Time/Date : Displays current date and time
information.
Tire Pressure : Shows the approximate
pressures of all four tires. Tire pressure is
displayed in either kilopascal (kPa) or in
pounds per square inch (psi). If the pressure
is low, the value for that tire is shown in
amber. See Tire Pressure Monitor System
0 351 and
