Warning
Never leave a child, a helpless adult, or
a pet alone in a vehicle, especially with the
windows closed in warm or hot weather.
They can be overcome by the extreme heat
and suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke.
If traveling with children, helpless adults, or
pets, do not leave them unattended in the
vehicle at any time. Always ensure to check for
children, helpless adults, or pets before exiting

See your Owner's Manual for important
information about your vehicle's braking
systems, including the Antilock Braking
System, which can help prevent a braking skid
and maintain steering while braking hard.
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control
The vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS)
and StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC). These systems help limit wheel spin
and assist the driver in maintaining control,
especially on slippery road conditions.
If equipped, this vehicle may have features
that work together to help avoid crashes or
reduce crash damage while driving, backing,
and parking. Read the owner's manual for more
important feature limitations and information
before using these systems.
Plug-In Charging
Plug-in charge times vary based on the
battery condition, charge level, and the outside
temperature. See your owner's manual for
charge mode selection.
Do not allow the vehicle to remain in
temperature extremes for long periods
without being driven or plugged in. When
temperatures are below 0 °C (32 °F) and above
32 °C (90 °F), plug in the vehicle to maximize
high voltage battery life.
In extreme temperature conditions, a full
charge will take additional time.
Charging will slow down as the battery fills up.
Charge the battery to 80% for daily driving,
or when driving in mountainous terrain. The
vehicle can be charged above 80% for long trips
when not driving in mountainous terrain.
