.The vehicle changes
directions more than once,
or the vehicle is turning on a
turn table in a parking lot.
.The vehicle is entering and/
or exiting a parking lot,
garage, or a lot with a roof.
.The GPS signal is not
received.
.A roof carrier is installed on
the vehicle.
.Tire chains are installed on
the vehicle.
.The tires are replaced
or worn.
.The tire pressure for the
tires is incorrect.
.This is the first navigation
use after the map data is
updated.
.The 12-volt battery has been
disconnected for
several days.
.The vehicle is driving in
heavy traffic where driving is
at low speeds, and the
vehicle is stopped and
started repeatedly.
Problems with Route
Guidance
Inappropriate route guidance
can occur under one or more
of the following conditions:
.The turn was not made on
the road indicated.
.Route guidance might not be
available when using
automatic rerouting for the
next right or left turn.
.The route might not be
changed when using
automatic rerouting.
.There is no route guidance
when turning at an
intersection.
.Automatic rerouting might
display a route returning to
the set waypoint if heading
for a destination without
passing through a set
waypoint.
.The route prohibits the
entry of a vehicle due to a
regulation by time or season
or any other regulation
which may be given.
.Some routes might not be
searched.
.The route to the destination
might not be shown if there
are new roads, if roads have
recently changed, or if
certain roads are not listed
in Maps.
To recalibrate the vehicle's
position on the map, park with
the vehicle running for two to
five minutes, until the vehicle
position updates. Make sure
the vehicle is parked in a
location that is safe and has a
clear view of the sky and away
from large obstructions.
Voice Recognition
If equipped, Google Assistant
allows for hands-free use of,
media and messaging,
navigation and climate control
functionality in the vehicle.

or by using the wake up words
“Hey Google”or“OK Google.”
However, not all features
within these areas are
supported by voice commands
and requires the user to have
a data subscription in order to
use the Google Assistant
feature.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes
available once the system is
initialized. This begins when
the vehicle is turned on.
Initialization may take a few
moments.
1. Press
gon the steering
wheel controls, touch
Google Assistant on the
Home screen, or use the
wake up words “Hey
Google” or“OK Google” to
activate voice recognition.
2. Clearly speak one of the commands described later
in this section.
Canceling Google
Assistant
.Presscon the steering
wheel controls to cancel the
Google Assistant request.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition identifies
commands that are naturally
stated in sentence form,
or direct commands that state
the application and the task.
For best results:
.Speak the command
naturally, not too fast, not
too slow.
.Use direct commands
without a lot of extra words.
For example, “Call
work,” “Play” followed by the
artist or song name,
or “Tune” followed by the
radio station number.
Direct commands are more
clearly understood by the
system. An example of a direct
command is “Dial
saved with a name and a place,
the direct command should
include both. For example
“Call
Voice Recognition for the
Radio
If browsing the audio sources
when voice is touched, the
voice recognition commands

frequency identified in the
command (like “nine fifty”).
“Play
Tune to the radio station
frequency identified in the
command (like “one oh one
point one”).
“Play channel

Information
Driving for Better
Energy Efficiency
Use the tips in the categories
below to help maximize energy
efficiency and range.
In colder temperatures, while
these efficiency tips will help,
the electric vehicle driving
range will be lower due to
higher energy usage including
energy spent heating the
cabin.
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 since the last time the
vehicle was started. See
Driver Information Center
(DIC) 0132 and
Vehicle Information 0133.

194 Driving and Operating
Acceleration/Braking/
Coasting
Avoid rapid accelerations and
decelerations.
Use cruise control when
appropriate.
Plan ahead for decelerations,
and coast whenever possible.
Do not rush to traffic signals,
and do not shift to N (Neutral)
to coast.
Use the One-Pedal Driving
feature when appropriate to
help recover energy during
coasting and braking.
One-Pedal mode recovers
more energy while coasting
and braking than D (Drive)
mode. See One-Pedal Driving
0214.
Use the steering wheel Regen
on Demand paddle during
deceleration to help recover
energy. See Regenerative
Braking 0220. Terrain and Vehicle Speed
Higher speeds and grade
changes use more energy and
can significantly reduce
electric 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 and ventilated
seat features (if equipped)
instead of the climate control
system. Heating and
ventilating the seat uses less
energy than heating and
cooling the interior. See
Heated and Ventilated Front
Seats
045 and
Heated Rear Seats 049.
Use the Remote Start Climate
Control feature to heat or cool
the interior while the vehicle is
plugged in to use electricity from the electrical outlet
instead of using energy from
the battery. See Remote Start
0
15.
In hot weather, avoid parking
in direct sunlight. Use
sunshades inside the vehicle.
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
range. See Battery Gauge
(High Voltage) 0110.
Outside Temperature
On colder days, it is best to
plug in the vehicle overnight,
and then remote start the
vehicle.

Driving and Operating 195
Allow the vehicle to warm up
for 20 minutes before driving.
Vehicle Charging/
Maintenance
Charging
Keep the vehicle plugged in,
even when fully charged, to
keep the battery temperature
ready for the next drive. This
is important when outside
temperatures are extremely
hot or cold.
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 optimal
temperature.
Maintenance
Always keep the tires properly
inflated and the vehicle
properly aligned.
The weight of excess cargo in
the vehicle affects efficiency
and range. Avoid carrying
more than is needed.Avoid unnecessary use of
electrical accessories. Power
used for functions other than
propelling the vehicle will
reduce the available range.
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 mobile 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 mobile
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.
.Keep pets in an appropriate
carrier or restraint.
