CHARGING YOUR VEHICLE –
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why does my vehicle not charge with
the mobile charger?

Ensure you properly connect the
connector and control box. Unplug the
charge coupler from the vehicle and
unplug the connector from the wall
outlet. Then check the connector to
be sure that the connector is
connected properly into the mobile
charger control box. If the mobile
charger is warm or in a hot
environment, try charging in a cooler
area. Try a different outlet or a
different connector if you have one
available. If the problem persists,
contact an authorized EV certified
dealer.

Why does my vehicle have a hum or fan
noise when charging?

A hum or a fan noise could be present
when charging the high voltage
battery. This is a normal operation as
your vehicle is keeping the battery cool
while charging.

Why does my information display say
that the vehicle is charged when it is
still pulling power from the charging
source?

In order to keep your battery at the
current level, a small amount of power
needs to be sourced from the wall to
power the vehicle electronics. Once
the vehicle is shut down, the vehicle
will stop drawing power.

PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

When your vehicle is

stationary, keep the brake pedal fully
pressed when shifting gears. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury, death or property
damage.

WARNING:

Do not apply the brake

pedal and accelerator pedal
simultaneously. Applying both pedals
simultaneously for more than a few
seconds will limit power, which may
result in difficulty maintaining speed in
traffic and could lead to serious injury.

WARNING:

Apply the parking

brake, shift into park (P), switch the
vehicle off and remove the key or remote
control before you leave your vehicle.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death.

Note:

BRAKE SHIFT INTERLOCK
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Do not drive your

vehicle until you verify that the
stoplamps are working.

WARNING:

When doing this

procedure, you need to take the
transmission out of park (P) which
means your vehicle can roll freely. To
avoid unwanted vehicle movement,
always fully apply the parking brake prior
to doing this procedure. Use wheels
chocks if appropriate.

WARNING:

If the parking brake is

fully released, but the brake warning
lamp remains illuminated, the brakes
may not be working properly. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.

In the event of an electrical malfunction,
it is possible that a fuse has blown or the
stoplamps are not working. See

Identifying the Fuses in the Under Hood

HOW DOES ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
WORK

The all-wheel drive system is designed to
continuously monitor and adjust power
delivery to the front and rear wheels to
optimize both traction and handling.

There is further information on driving in
unique driving conditions. See

Driving

Hints

(page 342).

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Do not become

overconfident in the ability of all-wheel
drive vehicles. Although an all-wheel
drive vehicle may accelerate better than
a two-wheel drive vehicle in low traction
situations, it won't stop any faster than
two-wheel drive vehicles. Always drive
at a safe speed.

•

Drive slower in strong crosswinds that
can affect the normal steering
characteristics of your vehicle.

•

When driving your vehicle on surfaces
made slippery by loose sand, water,
gravel, snow or ice, proceed with care.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
LIMITATIONS

The all-wheel drive system is not intended
for use with mismatched tires.

Different tire sizes between the front and
rear axles can cause system damage.

BRAKE PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Driving your vehicle

with the warning lamp on is dangerous.
A significant decrease in braking
performance may occur. It may take you
longer to stop your vehicle. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Driving extended distances with the
parking brake engaged can cause brake
failure and the risk of personal injury.

Wet brakes result in reduced braking
efficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a
few times when leaving a car wash or
driving from standing water to dry the
brakes.

Note:

Depending on applicable laws and

regulations in the country for which your
vehicle was originally built, the stoplamps
could flash during heavy braking. Following
this the hazard warning flashers could also
turn on when your vehicle comes to a stop.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
LIMITATIONS

The anti-lock braking system does not
eliminate the risk of crash when:
•

You drive too closely to the vehicle in
front of you.

•

Your vehicle is hydroplaning.

•

You take corners too fast.

•

The road surface is poor.

Note:

If the system activates, the brake

pedal could pulse and travel further.
Maintain pressure on the brake pedal.

BRAKE OVER ACCELERATOR

In the event the accelerator pedal
becomes stuck or entrapped, apply steady
and firm pressure to the brake pedal to
slow the vehicle and reduce engine power.
If you experience this condition, apply the
brakes and bring your vehicle to a safe
stop. Move the transmission to park (P),
switch the engine off and apply the parking
brake. Inspect the accelerator pedal for
any interference. If none are found and the
condition persists, have your vehicle towed
to the nearest authorized dealer.

LOCATING THE BRAKE FLUID
RESERVOIR

See

Under Hood Overview

(page 376).

CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID

WARNING:

Do not use any fluid

other than the recommended brake fluid
as this will reduce brake efficiency. Use
of incorrect fluid could result in the loss
of vehicle control, serious personal injury
or death.

WARNING:

Only use brake fluid

from a sealed container. Contamination
with dirt, water, petroleum products or
other materials may result in brake
system damage or failure. Failure to
adhere to this warning could result in the
loss of vehicle control, serious personal
injury or death.

WARNING:

Do not allow the fluid

to touch your skin or eyes. If this
happens, rinse the affected areas
immediately with plenty of water and
contact your physician.

236

Brakes

WARNING:

The brake system

could be affected if the brake fluid level
is below the

MIN

mark or above the

MAX

mark on the brake fluid reservoir.

E170684

Park your vehicle on a level surface.

2. Look at the brake fluid reservoir to see

where the brake fluid level is relative
to the

MIN

and the

MAX

marks on the

reservoir.

Note:

To avoid fluid contamination, the

reservoir cap must remain in place and fully
tight, unless you are adding fluid.

Only use fluid that meets our
specifications. See

Brakes

(page 236).

BRAKE FLUID SPECIFICATION

Brake Fluid Specification

BRAKES –
TROUBLESHOOTING

BRAKES – WARNING LAMPS

If the ABS indicator illuminates
when you are driving, this
indicates a malfunction. Your

vehicle continues to have normal braking
without the anti-lock braking system
function. See an authorized dealer.

It also momentarily illuminates when you
switch the ignition on to confirm the lamp
is functional. If it does not illuminate when
you switch the ignition on, or begins to
flash at any time, have the system checked
by an authorized dealer.

The brake indicator momentarily
illuminates when you switch the
ignition on to confirm the lamp

is functional. It may also illuminate when
you apply the parking brake and the
ignition is on. If it illuminates when your
vehicle is moving, make sure the parking
brake is disengaged. If the parking brake
is disengaged, this indicates low brake fluid
level or a brake system fault. See an
authorized dealer.

BRAKES – FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

Is it normal for my brakes to make
noise?

Occasional brake noise is normal. If a
metal-to-metal, continuous grinding,
or continuous squeal sound is present,
the brake lining could be worn-out.
Have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
