CHARGING YOUR VEHICLE
HINTS

We recommend limiting the amount of DC
charges, and ending DC charges at 80%
state of charge as charging between 80
and 100% can incur high charging costs
due to the time to completion. Frequent
use of DC charging could result in reducing
your battery’s efficiency and lifespan. This
is more pronounced on the standard range
battery pack versus the extended range
battery pack.

In cold temperatures, you may notice that
DC charging takes longer when the
ambient temperature drops below 50°F
(10°C). Shutting off climate control or
reducing climate control temperature and
fan settings for the first 10 to 15 minutes of
DC charging will allow the battery to warm
up and improve the charging rate.

Note:

When the temperature is below

freezing, fully turning off cabin heat for the
first 10 to 15 minutes of DC charging could
significantly improve the charging rate.

WHAT IS REVERSE BRAKING
ASSIST

The system uses sensors on the rear of
your vehicle to detect a possible collision
and applies the brakes to either reduce the
damage from impact, or to assist in
avoiding the collision.

HOW DOES REVERSE
BRAKING ASSIST WORK

Reverse Braking Assist functions when in
reverse (R) and traveling at a speed of
1–7 mph (1.5–12 km/h).

If the system detects an obstacle behind
your vehicle, it provides a warning through
the rear parking aid or cross traffic alert
system.

REVERSE BRAKING ASSIST
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

You are responsible for

controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death.

WARNING:

To help avoid personal

injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system.

WARNING:

The system may not

operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due
care and attention. Failure to take care
may result in a crash.

WARNING:

Traffic control systems,

fluorescent lamps, inclement weather,
air brakes, external motors and fans may
affect the correct operation of the
sensing system. This may cause reduced
performance or false alerts.

WARNING:

Some situations and

objects prevent hazard detection. For
example low or direct sunlight, inclement
weather, unconventional vehicle types,
and pedestrians. Apply the brakes when
necessary. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death.

WARNING:

Do not use the system

with accessories that extend beyond the
front or rear of your vehicle, for example
a trailer hitch or bike rack. The system is
not able to make corrections for the
additional length of the accessories.

The system only applies the brakes for a
short period of time when an event occurs.
Act as soon as you notice the brakes apply
in order to remain in control of the vehicle.
If you do not intervene the vehicle may
start to move again.

Note:

Certain add-on devices around the

bumper or fascia may create false alerts.
For example, large trailer hitches, bicycle or
surfboard racks, license plate brackets,
bumper covers or any other device that may
block the normal detection zone of the
system. Remove the add-on device to
prevent false alerts.

Note:

The system does not react to small

or moving objects, particularly those close
to the ground.

Note:

The system does not operate during

hard acceleration or steering.

192

Reverse Braking Assist

Note:

If your vehicle sustains damage to

the bumper or fascia leaving it misaligned
or bent, it could alter the sensing zone
causing inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alerts.

Note:

Vehicle loading and suspension

changes can impact the angle of the sensors
and may change the normal detection zone
of the system resulting in inaccurate
measurement of obstacles or false alerts.

Note:

When you connect a trailer, the

system may detect the trailer and provide
an alert, or the system turns off. If the
system does not turn off, switch the system
off manually after you connect the trailer.

Note:

You may experience reduced system

performance on road surfaces that limit
deceleration. For example, roads with ice,
loose gravel, mud or sand.
