CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING:Some constituents of engine exhaust, certain vehicle
components, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain
products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
PERCHLORATE MATERIAL
Note: Certain components in your vehicle such as airbag modules, safety
belt pretensioners, and remote control batteries may contain perchlorate
material. Special handling may apply for service or vehicle end of life
disposal. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate for more
information.
Breaking-in your vehicle
Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive
continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of
new vehicle operation. Vary your speed frequently in order to give the
moving parts a chance to break in.
Electric Vehicle Operation
This electric vehicle operates entirely from electricity stored in the on-board
high voltage battery pack. There is no internal combustion engine as in a
typical vehicle or hybrid electric vehicle, which leads to unique operating
characteristics. Familiarizing yourself with these unique characteristics will
help ensure optimal performance from your new vehicle.
Normal vehicle operation
Starting: The vehicle is equipped with a Passive Entry, Passive Start
(PEPS) system. The key fob must be inside the vehicle in order to start
the vehicle. Press the start button while your vehicle is in P (Park) with
your foot on the brake pedal. The startup sequence will display on the
cluster and 8 inch center stack screen and the green ready to drive
indicator light will appear in the instrument cluster, letting you know
that the vehicle is ready for driving.
Driving: The electric vehicle driver controls operate the same as a
traditional automobile and the vehicle is designed to be driven in the full
range of traffic and weather conditions. You will likely notice the lack of
sound when driving the electric vehicle which is due to the lack of an
internal combustion engine.

WARNING LAMPS AND INDICATORS
These indicators can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become
serious enough to cause expensive repairs. Many lights will illuminate
when you start your vehicle to make sure they work. If any light remains
on after starting the vehicle, refer to the respective system warning light
for additional information.
Note:Some warning indicators are reconfigurable telltales (RTT). These
indicators appear in the information display and function the same as a
warning light, but do not display on startup.
Cluster shown in standard measure – metric clusters similar.
Stability Control System
Displays when the AdvanceTrac/Traction control is active. If
the light remains on, have the system serviced immediately.
Stability Control System Off Illuminates when AdvanceTrac/Traction control has been
disabled by the driver.
Airbag readiness If this light fails to illuminate when the ignition is turned on,
continues to flash or remains on, contact your authorized dealer
as soon as possible. A chime will sound when there is a
malfunction in the indicator light.

Anti-lock brake systemIf the ABS light stays illuminated or continues to flash, a
malfunction has been detected. Contact your authorized dealer
as soon as possible. Normal braking is still functional unless the
brake warning light also is illuminated.
Brake system warning light
To confirm the brake system warning light is functional, it will
momentarily illuminate when the vehicle is switched on, to
accessory or Ready to Drive mode.
If it illuminates when you are driving, check that the parking brake is not
engaged. If the parking brake is not engaged, this indicates low brake
fluid level or a brake system malfunction. Have the system checked
immediately by your authorized dealer.
WARNING: Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning
light on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking
performance may occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle.
Have the vehicle checked by your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Driving extended distances with the parking brake engaged can cause
brake failure and the risk of personal injury.
High voltage battery low or depleted (RTT) •Amber: Illuminates when the battery level is low. May also be
accompanied by a message suggesting the driver reduce
usage of the climate system.
• Red: Illuminates when the battery level is depleted. The vehicle must
be charged before it will operate. If you are driving when this occurs,
and cannot make it to a charge point, stop the vehicle in a safe place
and have it towed to a charge point.
Charging system (RTT) Illuminates when the 12–volt battery is not charging properly.
Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. This
indicates a problem with the electrical system or a related
component.
Door ajar (RTT) Displays when the ignition is on and any door is not completely
closed.

GAUGES
Cluster shown in standard measure – metric clusters similar.
A. Message center: SeeMessage Centerfor more information.
B. Speedometer
C. Infotainment display: See the MyTouchsupplement for more information.
Common Displays
Note:Some features can be switched on and off through the message
center.
Battery Gauge: The high voltage battery gauge appears on the right
side of the message center screen. This provides State of Charge, Range
Estimate and Regen Display.
• State of Charge - The state of charge for the high voltage battery is
shown as a colored fill. The fill color is normally blue. When a low
battery condition is reached the fill turns amber. When the battery is
depleted the fill turns red. See the Information Messages section for
details on associated Low Battery and Depleted Battery warnings.
• Distance to Empty - The Range Estimate in the Battery Gauge is
personalized to the driver’s key. This is the estimated distance the
vehicle will travel before needing a recharge. The Range Estimate is
based on your typical energy usage while driving. This includes your
Drive Habits as well as your use of accessories such as Climate
Control. Your Range Estimate may change immediately when you
change your Climate Control settings.

•Regen Display - A circular arrow symbol appears in the center of the
Battery Gauge when energy is being recaptured through the
regenerative braking system.
Brake Coach Display: The Brake Coach appears after the vehicle has
come to a stop. It coaches you to brake in a manner which maximizes
the amount of energy returned through the regenerative braking system.
By maximizing the use of regenerative braking, you minimize the energy
used up by the hydraulic brakes.
Note: Under certain conditions the actual amount of energy returned to
the high voltage battery will be less than the percentage shown.
Trip Summary and Lifetime Summary: These will be displayed upon
shutting off the vehicle. Trip Summary will appear first, then Lifetime
Summary will be displayed. You can toggle between these displays using
the up and down arrow keys on the left hand steering wheel controls.
Trip Summary data is from the last power cycle, while Lifetime Summary
data is cumulative from the last Lifetime Summary reset done through
the Settings menu in the message center.
Trip Summary:
• Distance - The total distance travelled, and regen distance are
displayed. Regen distance is the estimated range gained from energy
recaptured through regenerative braking.
• Energy Used - The total kilowatt hours and average watt hours per
unit of distance are displayed. The average watt hours per mi (km)
will be shown in blue if less than (better than) the lifetime average
watt hours per mi (km).
• Brake Score - The percentage of braking energy recaptured and
returned to the high voltage battery through regenerative braking. The
brake score will be shown in blue if greater than (better than) the
lifetime brake score.
Lifetime Summary:
• Distance - The total regen distance, which is the estimated range
gained from energy recaptured through regenerative braking.
• Energy Used - The total kilowatt hours.
• Brake Score - The average percentage of braking energy recaptured
and returned to the high voltage battery through regenerative braking.
