Service
All vehicles have a label underhood that
identifies the refrigerant used in the vehicle.
The refrigerant system should only be
serviced by trained and certified technicians.
The air conditioning evaporator should never
be repaired or replaced by one from a
salvage vehicle. It should only be replaced
by a new evaporator to ensure proper and
safe operation.
During service, all refrigerants should be
reclaimed with proper equipment. Venting
refrigerants directly to the atmosphere is
harmful to the environment and may also
create unsafe conditions based on
inhalation, combustion, frostbite, or other
health-based concerns.
The air conditioning system requires periodic
maintenance. See Maintenance Schedule
0 389.

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.

198 Driving and Operating
If the vehicle must be shut off in an
emergency:1. Brake using 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.
4. Set the parking brake. See Electric
Parking Brake 0205.
{Warning
Turning off the vehicle while moving may
disable the airbags. While driving, only
shut the propulsion system off in an
emergency.
If a drive mode is entered where
fis
present while moving, the vehicle can be
shut off while driving. Press
fand follow
the instructions displayed in the Driver
Information Center (DIC) to confirm that
vehicle off mode is desired. Climate control functions, such as defrost,
heating, and air conditioning are only
available while the vehicle is powered on.
Turning the vehicle off will turn off all
climate controls.
If a collision is detected an additional
emergency vehicle off display will be shown
and can be pressed to turn the vehicle off.
Keeping Vehicle On After Driver Exit

Cooling System
It is not necessary to regularly check coolant
unless a leak is suspected or an unusual
noise is heard. A coolant loss could indicate
a problem. Have it inspected and repaired
by your dealer.
The following explains the cooling system
and how to check coolant level.
During vehicle operation and also during
charging, the high voltage battery cells in
the vehicle are kept within a normal
operating temperature range. If the
temperature rises above this temperature, the battery cooling system turns on the air
conditioning compressor and cools the
coolant until the correct temperature is
reached. If the temperature falls below this
temperature, a high voltage heater, located
outside the battery on a cradle, heats the
coolant until the correct temperature is
reached.
Checking Coolant
The coolant needs to be replaced at the
appropriate interval. See
Maintenance
Schedule 0389.
The coolant reservoir is in the underhood
compartment. See Underhood Compartment
Overview 0325.
To access the coolant reservoir under the
hood, the right side access cover needs to
be removed. 1. Park on a level surface and turn the vehicle off.
2. Open the hood. See Hood019.
3. Turn the three bolts three quarter turn
and remove the right side access cover.
