Climate Controls 147
The defogger only works when the vehicle is
on. The defogger will turn off if the vehicle
is turned off.
Caution
Do not try to clear frost or other material
from the inside of the front windshield
and rear window with a razor blade or
anything else that is sharp. This may
damage the rear window defogger grid
and affect the radio's ability to pick up
stations clearly. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Heated Seats (If Equipped)
Liftxoryto heat the driver or
passenger seat cushion. See Heated Front
Seats 029.
Remote Start Climate Control Operation
If equipped with the remote start feature,
the climate control system may run when
the vehicle is started remotely. The system
uses the driver’s previous settings to heat or
cool the inside of the vehicle. The rear defog
may come on during remote start based on
cold ambient conditions. The rear defog
indicator light does not come on during a
remote start. If equipped, the heated seats will turn on if
it is cold outside. The heated seat indicator
lights may not come on during a remote
start. See
Heated Front Seats 029.
Remote Start : The climate control system
may be started by using the remote key.
The climate control system will default to
an appropriate heating or cooling mode. See
Remote Start 014.
The rear window defogger turns on if it is
cold outside.
Sensors
Indicator Light and Solar Sensor (ILSS)
The ILSS is on top of the instrument panel,
near the windshield, where it monitors solar
intensity.
The climate control system uses the sensor
information to adjust the temperature, fan
speed, recirculation, and air delivery mode
for best comfort.
Do not cover the sensor; otherwise the
automatic climate control system may not
work properly. Humidity Sensor
The humidity sensor is near the base of the
inside rearview mirror. The climate control
system uses the sensor information to
adjust the temperature and recirculation for
best comfort.
Outside Air Temperature Sensor
The outside air temperature sensor is behind
the front grille of the vehicle. The vehicle
uses the sensor information to display
outside air temperature. The climate control
system uses the information to adjust the
climate system operation.
Afterblow Feature
If equipped, under certain conditions, the
fan may stay on or may turn on and off
several times after you turn off and lock the
vehicle. This is normal.
Air Vents
Adjustable air vents are in the center and on
the side of the instrument panel.

vehicle can move suddenly. You or others
could be injured. To be sure the vehicle
will not move, even when you are on
fairly level ground, always set the
parking brake and press the P (Park)
button.
If you have to leave the vehicle with the
propulsion system running, the vehicle must
be in P (Park) with the parking brake set
before leaving the vehicle. After pressing the
P (Park) button, hold down the regular brake
pedal. If you cannot see the P (Park)
indicator in the instrument cluster, the
vehicle has not shifted into P (Park).
Shifting out of Park
This vehicle is equipped with an electric
drive unit. To shift out of P (Park), the
vehicle must be on, the brake pedal must be
applied, and the charge cord must be
unplugged.
Parking the vehicle in extreme cold for
several days without the charge cord
connected may cause the vehicle not to start. The vehicle will need to be plugged in
to allow the high voltage battery to be
warmed sufficiently.
To shift out of P (Park):
1. Apply the brake pedal.
2. Press POWER
Oto start the vehicle.
3. Verify that the vehicle is unplugged and the vehicle ready light is on.

If the vehicle cannot shift from P (Park), a
Driver Information Center (DIC) message
may be displayed. Check that the vehicle is
on, the vehicle ready light is on, and the
brake pedal is applied when you are
attempting to shift out of P (Park). If all of
these are met but the vehicle will not shift
out of P (Park), see your dealer for service.
Extended Parking
It is best not to park with the vehicle
running. If the vehicle is left on, be sure it
will not move.
See Shifting Into Park 0163.
If the vehicle is left parked and on with the
remote key outside the vehicle, it will
remain on for up to an hour.
If the vehicle is left parked and on with the
remote key inside the vehicle, it will remain
on for up to two hours.
The timer will reset if the vehicle is taken
out of P (Park) while it is on.

if the P (Park) switch is not pressed with
the parking brake set. The vehicle
can roll.
Do not leave the vehicle when the
propulsion system is running. If you have
left the propulsion system running, the
vehicle can move suddenly. You or others
could be injured. To be sure the vehicle
will not move, even when you are on
fairly level ground, always set the
parking brake and press the P (Park)
switch.
The R (Reverse) and D (Drive) shift switches
are designed to prevent inadvertent shifting
out of P (Park) unless the propulsion system
is on and the brake pedal is applied.
When the vehicle is stopped, press
POWER
Oto turn off the vehicle. The
vehicle will shift into P (Park) automatically
unless the vehicle is in N (Neutral). See “Car

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.
Apply the brakes when stopping or shifting
to P (Park) on a hill to prevent the vehicle
from rolling.
One-Pedal Driving
With One-Pedal Driving, the accelerator
pedal is used to control the deceleration of
the vehicle to a complete stop.
Completely lifting off the accelerator pedal
results in aggressive deceleration. Partially
lifting off the accelerator pedal allows the
deceleration of the vehicle to be adjusted as
desired.
The amount of deceleration may vary under
Regenerative Power Limited condition. See
Power Indicator Gauge 082.
Use the brake pedal if emergency braking is
required.
To use One-Pedal Driving, press the
One-Pedal Driving button on the Electric
Drive Unit shift switch control. An indicator
displays in the instrument cluster. When
enabled, this feature applies in both
D (Drive) and R (Reverse). This feature
remains enabled until manually disabled by
the driver. Press the accelerator pedal to the
desired speed. The deceleration provided by
One-Pedal Driving provides full regenerative
braking and helps increase energy efficiency.
The brake lamps may come on when the
accelerator pedal is released or during
substantial deceleration from regenerative
braking.
Press the One-Pedal Driving button again to
turn off One-Pedal Driving. If stopped, the
vehicle stays stopped when One-Pedal
Driving is turned off. Press the brake pedal
or accelerator pedal to return to two-pedal
driving.
While operating in One-Pedal Driving, the
electric parking brake may apply in some
circumstances. This can occur when:
.Driving on slopes.
.The driver’s door is open.
.The vehicle remains stationary for
five minutes.
