vehicle ready light is on in the
instrument cluster, the vehicle
is ready to be driven. This
could take up to 15 seconds at
extremely cold temperatures.
Service Mode
This power mode is available
for service and diagnostics,
and to verify the proper
operation of the service
vehicle soon light as may be
required for inspection or
maintenance purposes. With
the vehicle off, and the brake
pedal not applied, pressing
and holding POWER
Ofor
more than five seconds will
place the vehicle in Service

driven. The propulsion system will not start in Service Mode.
Press POWER
Oagain to turn
the vehicle off.
Caution
Placing the vehicle in
Service Mode will use the

Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) will remain active
until the driver door is opened.
If the vehicle must be shut off
in an emergency: 1. Brake using a firm and
steady pressure. Do not
pump the brakes
repeatedly. This may
deplete power assist,
requiring increased brake
pedal force.
2. Shift the vehicle to N (Neutral). This can be
done while the vehicle is
moving. After shifting to
N (Neutral), firmly apply the
brakes and steer the vehicle
to a safe location.
3. Come to a complete stop, shift to P (Park), and turn
the vehicle off by pressing

214 Driving and Operating
Caution
Spinning the tires
excessively may damage the
electric drive unit. The repair
will not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. If you are
stuck, do not spin the tires.
When stopping on a steep hill,
use the brakes to hold the
vehicle in place.
When shifting to P (Park) on a
hill, use the brakes to hold the
vehicle then shift to P (Park).
One-Pedal Driving
One-Pedal Driving allows the
use of the accelerator pedal to
control the deceleration of the
vehicle to a complete stop.
Completely releasing the
accelerator pedal will result in
aggressive deceleration. Partially lifting off the
accelerator pedal allows the
deceleration of the vehicle to
be adjusted as desired.
Use the brake pedal if
emergency braking is required.
To view and configure
One-Pedal Driving, from the
infotainment display home
screen, Select Virtual Controls
> Drive & Park > One-Pedal
Driving.
Select Off to disable
One-Pedal Driving for
traditional two-pedal driving,
similar to a gasoline vehicle.
Select On to enable one-pedal
driving where a moderate level
of braking is applied when the
accelerator pedal is released
while driving.
Select High to enable
one-pedal driving where a
strong level of braking is
applied when the accelerator
pedal is released while driving.
When enabled, One-Pedal
Driving applies in R (Reverse),
D (Drive). This feature remains
enabled until manually disabled
by the driver. Press the
accelerator pedal to the
desired speed. The brake
lamps will come on during
substantial deceleration and
when the vehicle is stopped.

off while stopped, the vehicle
will stay stopped. Press the
brake pedal or accelerator
pedal to return to two-pedal
driving.

pop-up box to go to the full
One-Pedal Driving selection.
When possible, One-Pedal
Driving uses regenerative
braking to slow the vehicle for
energy efficiency. Friction
brakes may be used in some
cases when regenerative
braking is reduced. Friction
brakes will be used to hold the
vehicle after coming to a stop,
and a noise may be noticed
when the brakes apply. When driving on slippery
roads, it is recommended to
turn off One-Pedal Driving.
See Winter Driving
0201.
While using One-Pedal Driving,
the Electric Parking Brake may
apply in some circumstances.
This can occur when:
.The driver exits the vehicle.
.The vehicle has remained
stationary for five minutes.
To resume driving, press the
accelerator pedal, and the
Electric Parking Brake will
automatically disengage.
Drive Systems
All-Wheel Drive
This vehicle may be equipped
with advanced electric
All-Wheel Drive (eAWD). The
eAWD system delivers power to all four wheels, and the
system adjusts automatically
to the driving conditions. The
eAWD system continuously
varies the drive power to the
front and rear wheels to
maximize driving efficiency and
improve driving dynamics.
Your vehicle has exceptional
driving capability, but care
must always be taken to
adjust driving style to the
traffic and road conditions.
The vehicle eAWD settings
may be customized for the
driver mode selected. See
Driver Mode Control
0223 for
more information.

(EVSE), adaptive cruise
control, and suspension
tuning, if equipped.
Snow/Ice Mode :Snow/Ice
mode improves vehicle
acceleration on snow covered
roads. When active, Snow/Ice
mode adjusts pedal tuning to
optimize traction on slippery
surfaces. This can affect the
acceleration on dry asphalt.
Snow/Ice mode also modifies
electric All-Wheel Drive
(eAWD) and steering.
My Mode : My mode is used to
personalize everyday driving.
This mode allows the driver to
configure the vehicle
subsystem settings to their
driving preferences. My mode

how responsive you want
acceleration to feel. You can
adjust the accelerator pedal to
provide increased power.
Brake Feel : Brake response
settings adjust the brake
pedal response. Brake pedal
feel is less sensitive at lower
settings and more sensitive at
higher settings.
Motor Sound : Customize how
your vehicle sounds when you
are accelerating. Your electric
motor remains quiet outside
but the sound you hear inside
changes as you drive faster or
slower.
Steering : Choose how
responsive you want the
steering to feel. You can set
the steering wheel to provide
more feedback, which requires
more steering effort.

Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise
Control (Advanced)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
allows the cruise control set
speed and following gap to be
selected. Read this entire
section before using this
system. The following gap is
the following time (or distance)
between your vehicle and a
vehicle detected directly
ahead in your path, moving in
the same direction. If no
vehicle is detected in your
path, ACC works like regular
cruise control. ACC uses a
camera and radar sensor(s) to
detect other vehicles. See
Radio Frequency Statement
0395.
If a vehicle is detected in your
path, ACC can apply
acceleration or limited,
moderate braking to maintain
the selected following gap. To
disengage ACC, apply the
brake. If ACC is controlling the vehicle speed when the
Traction Control System (TCS)
or StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system
activates, ACC may
automatically disengage. See
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control
0221. When
road conditions allow ACC to
be safely used, ACC can be
turned back on.
Disabling the TCS or
StabiliTrak/ESC system will
disengage and prevent
engagement of ACC.
ACC can reduce the need for
you to frequently brake and
accelerate, especially when
used on expressways,
freeways, and interstate
highways. When used on other
roads, you may need to take
over the control of braking or
acceleration more often.
{Warning
ACC has limited braking
ability and may not have
time to slow the vehicle
down enough to avoid a
collision with another vehicle
you are following. This can
occur when vehicles
suddenly slow or stop
ahead, or enter your lane.
Also see “Alerting the
Driver” later in this section.
Complete attention is
always required while driving
and you should be ready to
take action and apply the
brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0196.
{Warning
ACC will not detect or brake
for children, pedestrians,
animals, or other objects.

Control
Indicator
When ACC is engaged, a
green
oindicator will be lit on
the instrument cluster and the
following gap will be displayed.
When the regular cruise control is engaged, a green
J
indicator will be lit on the
instrument cluster; the
following gap will not display.
It is recommended to switch
from ACC to regular cruise
control only, when there are
no vehicles ahead of your
vehicle.
When the vehicle is turned on,
the cruise control mode will be
set to the last mode used
before the vehicle was
turned off.
{Warning
Always check the cruise
control indicator on the
instrument cluster to
determine which mode
cruise control is in before
using the feature. If ACC is
not active, the vehicle will
not automatically brake for
other vehicles, which could
cause a crash if the brakes

are not applied manually.
You and others could be
seriously injured or killed.
Setting Adaptive Cruise
Control
If
Jis on when not in use, it
could get pressed and go into
ACC when not desired. Keep
Joff when cruise is not
being used.
Select the set speed desired
for ACC. This is the vehicle
speed when no vehicle is
detected in your path.
While the vehicle is moving,
ACC will not set at a speed
below a minimum speed,
although it can be resumed.
If equipped with Super Cruise,
this minimum speed is 5 km/h
(3 mph), otherwise, it is
25 km/h (15 mph). The minimum
allowable set speed is 25 km/h
(15 mph).
