After initializing the driver’s seat on the center display, you can set the most convenient exit position for you to get out of the vehicle. With the vehicle stopped and in PARK, the driver's seat will move to the preset exit position when you open the driver’s door, (including the seat cushion position and backrest inclination), and the steering wheel will move to the uppermost position. This will provide you with a larger space to get in and out of the vehicle conveniently.
To enable/disable this feature, enter the settings page from the leftmost side of the control bar at the bottom of the center display and tap Seat Comfort > Driver Easy Entry. You or an authorized user can personalize the exit position for the corresponding account. After manually adjusting the driver's seat to your desired exit position, tap Seat Comfort > Driver Seat Memory and select Exit Position to save the current settings.

After turning on Driver Seat Easy Entry, when you sit in the driver’s seat and close the door (or press the brake pedal), the driver’s seat, steering wheel, side mirrors and HUD height will automatically adjust to the settings saved in the system.
If a passenger opens the front passenger door when the vehicle is stopped and in PARK, the front passenger seat will move to the preset exit position (the position of the seat cushion and inclination of the backrest will move to the rear, and the leg support will automatically move to its lowest position) to make entering and exiting the vehicle more convenient.
To enable/disable this feature, enter the settings page from the leftmost side of the control bar at the bottom of the center display and tap Seat Comfort > Front Passenger Easy Entry. Front Passenger Easy Entry has two setting options:
Exit Only: when the passenger unfastens the seat belt and opens the passenger door, the seat will move to the default position; when the passenger gets into the vehicle and closes the passenger door, the seat will remain unchanged from the default exit position.
Exit + Entry: when the passenger unfastens the seat belt and opens the passenger door, the seat will move to the default position; when the passenger gets into the vehicle and closes the passenger door, the seat will automatically move to the default position saved in the corresponding account (which can be edited from the center display).
When using Front Passenger Easy Entry, it is recommended that you set the default position appropriately, and pay attention to the surrounding environment and the safety of any passengers in the second row.

An independent fragrance system is provided for you and your family. You can select the desired scent to enjoy a refreshing and pleasant experience while driving.
A variety of fragrances are offered, including Solar, Stellar, Wild and Haven. You can insert three fragrance cartridges with different scents into the fragrance holder located under the center console. You can replace the cartridges according to your preference.
To insert and replace the fragrance cartridges:
Remove the cover of the fragrance cartridge, insert the cartridge facing up in the holder, and then press the bottom of the cartridge.
Do not rotate the fragrance cartridge when inserting it.
The cartridge will then be held in place by a magnet placed inside the holder.
When the fragrance cartridge is in place, the vehicle will notify you that the fragrance system is available and indicate the exact scent of each cartridge on the center display.
To replace the fragrance cartridge, hold the bottom of the cartridge with your fingers and pull it out slowly.
To turn the fragrance system on or off, control the intensity of a fragrance or select a different scent, successfully insert the fragrance cartridge and swipe right on the home page to visit Quick Access and choose Fragrance.
Keep the fragrance cartridge out of the reach of children to prevent them from swallowing it accidentally, as this may be detrimental to their health.
Do not allow your child to insert their finger into the fragrance holder. Doing so may result in injury.
To ensure your safety, do not insert or replace the fragrance cartridge while driving.
If you or any passenger feels discomfort, disable the fragrance system immediately.
Please check the expiration date before inserting the fragrance cartridge. The fragrance has a shelf life of one year if the bottle remains unopened; after the bottle is opened, the fragrance can last three months. Stop using the fragrance and replace it after it expires.
Some fragrances (e.g. Wild) have a stimulating effect. Please use it only when needed.
When replacing the fragrance cartridge, keep your hands clean to ensure the fragrance system can function normally after it is replaced.
A magnet is placed in each fragrance holder. Keep your smart phone, tablet and other electronic devices away from the holder to avoid any interference between electronic devices and the fragrance system.
Chemical reactions may occur between the fragrance and organic substances. Keep the ceramic fragrance stuck in the fragrance cartridge and away from all plastic parts.
The experience with the fragrance system may vary depending to the cabin temperature, fan speed, and user’s physical condition.
Only purchase genuine ceramic fragrance sticks and avoid damaging the fragrance cartridge to ensure its quality.
If the fragrance cartridge cannot be identified after it is inserted, please try again.
Tide is a physical and psychological health app that helps you sleep, meditate, relax, and stay focused. Inspired by travels, nature and meditation, Tide provides a wealth of audio resources such as sounds of nature and meditation exercises to help you escape from the fast-paced world for a quiet space of peace, where you can meditate for a while to relax your mind and sleep better with less anxiety and stress while staying focused and calm.
Tide offers three modes, namely Nap, Meditation, and Breathing.
You and your family can fall asleep to the sounds of nature in the vehicle and wake up to a soft alarm to embrace a beautiful world.
You or your authorized users can enter the application launcher to open the Tide > Nap page where sound scenarios and alarm time for the nap can be set and memorized for the specific account.
Nap by Time: You can set a nap countdown to wake you up at the set time. You can also choose to continue or end the nap upon the alarm.
Nap by Charge: If the vehicle is in the DC charging process, you can set a battery level within the charging limit to have a nap until the set level is reached.
More settings are provided, including volumes and timed playback of sleep aid sounds, alarm clock sounds and volumes, and seat position restoration switch upon the end of nap.
Set sleep aid sound scenarios.
After the vehicle enters the Nap Mode, the in-vehicle lighting will be turned off, with windows and doors closed and locked, the climate control will be automatically set to the temperature comfortable for a nap, and the air purifier will be automatically turned on. If you sit in a front seat, the seat will automatically move to the relax position (if set previously) or the default position. NOMI will enter the Do Not Disturb Mode to create a relaxing atmosphere for you. After the nap ends, the vehicle will restore the settings before the nap.
Before entering the Nap Mode, make sure the vehicle is in PARK and not in the power swap mode.
Close all the doors and the liftgate before starting the Nap Mode to ensure safety.
A fault with the climate control system may compromise the comfort during the nap.
When the front seats are moving backward at the beginning of the nap, pay attention to the space for occupants on rear seats. If the long track engages for the front passenger seat, the front passenger seat will not automatically move after the nap starts.
If the vehicle is not being charged, make sure that its remaining range is not less than 60 km. The time alarm will be triggered automatically when the remaining range is less than 30 km, and the charging alarm will be triggered automatically when the charging connector is disconnected or the charging runs into a fault, to remind you to check the battery level.
The vehicle will automatically exit the Nap Mode under certain circumstances, for example, when the vehicle is not in PARK, the battery has a risk of ignition, a software update is in progress, the vehicle is in the power swap mode, the vehicle is locked for sleep, the climate control is faulty, and the account is switched. In this case, the seats cannot be automatically restored to the positions before the nap.
The Meditation Mode provides an immersive experience to give your brain break, so that you can feel your inner self and your surroundings and reduce your physical and mental exhaustion.
You or your authorized users can enter the application launcher to open the Tide > Meditation page where sound scenarios and sound volumes for the meditation can be set and memorized for the specific account.
After the vehicle enters the Meditation Mode, the in-vehicle lighting will be turned off, with windows and doors closed and locked, the climate control will be automatically set to the temperature comfortable for meditation, and the air purifier will be automatically turned on. NOMI will enter the Do Not Disturb Mode to create an immersive and quiet atmosphere for you. After the meditation ends, the vehicle will restore the settings before the meditation.

NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
Never seat a child or place a rear-facing child safety seat on the front passenger seat when the front passenger airbag is enabled. Doing so can cause severe injury or death when the airbag inflates in the event of an accident.
Refer to the following front airbag label fitted to the front passenger sun visor.
If you want to use a child safety seat in the front passenger seat, always ensure that the front passenger airbag is off. Enter the settings page from the leftmost side of the control bar at the bottom of the center display and tap
Driving > Front Passenger Airbag to turn it off. In this case, the icon
appears at the top of the center display, notifying you that the front passenger airbag is disabled.
Secure your child with a child safety seat or seat belt that is appropriate for the age, weight and height of the child on the rear outboard seats:
Infants weighing up to 13 kg can be seated in a reclining rear-facing child safety seat secured on the rear seats.
Toddlers weighing between 9 kg and 18 kg can be seated in a forward-facing or rear-facing child safety seat that is restrained by a safety cushion or integrated five-point harness and secured on the rear seats.
Young children weighing between 15 kg and 25 kg can be seated in a forward-facing child safety seat that is restrained by a seat belt and secured on the rear seats.
Children weighing between 22 kg and 36 kg and who are less than 1.5 meters tall can be seated in a booster seat that is restrained by a seat belt and secured on the rear seats.
The upper belt must lay flat across the shoulder and chest, and never lay across the neck; the lower belt must lay flat across the pelvis, and never lay across the abdomen.
Before installing a child safety seat, read the child safety seat manufacturer’s instructions carefully and ensure that the seat can be installed in your vehicle. You can choose a child safety seat which is fastened with a seat belt or uses the ISOFIX system. The ISOFIX system is recommended.
Installing a seat belt-restrained child seat
To install a child safety seat on a rear seat, route the seat belt over the child safety seat and buckle it up. Ensure that the belt is not twisted. Pull the belt tightly and remove all slack.
Installing an ISOFIX child seat
Lower LATCH anchors are provided in the second row outboard seats and third row seats. Child safety seats should be secured to the rear seats.
Slide the child safety seat onto the seat's anchor bars until you hear it click into place.
Guide the upper tether strap on the child safety seat under the head restraint and towards the rear, and then fasten the belt to the anchor point located on the back of the rear seats.
Pull on the child safety seat to check if it fits snugly.
The ISOFIX attachment points are designed solely for child safety seats with the ISOFIX system. To avoid injury, never secure other objects to ISOFIX.
Always follow the child safety seat manufacturer’s instructions and this manual when installing and removing a child safety seat. Improper usage can result in injury to your child or other passengers.
Seat belts are one of the most important ways to protect occupants in case of an accident. Using seat belts together with airbags can reduce the risk of severe injury if a collision occurs. All occupants, including the driver, should wear seat belts correctly.
Even at low speeds, the impact force acting on the occupants can still cause injury.Therefore, it is very important to fasten seat belts before every trip, no matter how short or routine the trip is. It is equally important for the rear seat occupants to wear seat belts correctly, as unbelted rear occupants may be thrown forward, and endanger not only themselves, but also the front occupants in a frontal collision.
Both front and second row outboard seats as well as third row seats feature seat belts with pretensioners and force limiters (dual-stage for the front seats). The pretensioners rapidly retract and latch seat belts the instant a severe collision occurs, thereby providing increased protection to occupants. The force limiter can then prevent the seat belt from exerting too much force on the occupant and minimize belt-inflicted injury.
Seat belts should be worn correctly by all occupants at all times. Failure to do so may result in severe injury or death.
Do not unbuckle the seat belt when driving. Doing so can increase the risk of severe injury if a collision occurs.
Avoid contaminating the seat belt or obstructing the belt latch. Doing so can impair the functionality of the seat belt.
Check the condition of your seat belt carefully before use to ensure that no components show any sign of wear, aging, or damage. If any damage is found, do not continue to use the seat belt and replace it immediately.
Do not attempt to repair a damaged seat belt yourself. Do not remove or install seat belts in any way.
Never secure more than one person with a single seat belt. It is dangerous to put a seat belt around a child being carried on an occupant’s lap. Doing so can cause further injury to the child if a collision occurs.
Seat belts that have been worn during an accident, or which have been stretched must be replaced immediately, even if there is no visible damage.
Seat belt pretensioners that have been activated during an accident must be replaced immediately. Even if they are not activated in certain accidents, it is suggested to contact NIO for inspection or even replacement if necessary.
Do not drive with the backrest reclined to an extreme degree. Doing so can impair the protective function of the seat belt.
The seat belt should never lie on hard or fragile objects (such as glasses or pens,etc.) because this can cause injuries.
Never wear the seat belt under the arm or in any other incorrect position.
Bulky and unfastened clothing (such as an overcoat over a sweater) impairs the proper fit and function of the seat belts, reducing their capacity to protect.
Do not allow the seat belt to be damaged or jammed, or to rub on any sharp edges.
Frayed or torn seat belts or damage to the connections, belt retractors or parts of the buckle could cause severe injuries in the event of an accident. Therefore, you must check the condition of all seat belts at regular intervals.
The belts must be kept clean, otherwise the retractors may not work properly.
Unbuckling your seat belt while the vehicles in motion can cause severe or fatal injuries in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
The seat belt itself, or a loose seat belt,can cause severe injuries if the belt moves from hard areas of the body to soft areas(e.g. the stomach).
All seats are equipped with seat belts. When the driver is seated (with doors closed or brake pedal pressed) or is driving, the seat belt warning light
on the digital instrument cluster turns on when anyone in the front is unbuckled. If the , or at a speed over 22 km/h and the seat belts are still not fastened, the warning light flashes and a chime sounds. After seat belts are fastened, the warning light turns off and the chime stops. If the belts remain unfastened, the chime stops after 100 seconds, but the warning light stays on.
When the driver's seat is occupied (with doors closed or the brake pedal pressed), the seat belt warning light
on the digital instrument cluster turns on when a passenger in the rear is not buckled up. The seats with belts fastened are shown in gray. When rear seat belts are not fastened:
If the vehicle is in motion, the warning light automatically turns off after 33 seconds.
If the vehicle is driving over 22 km/h, the warning light flashes and a chime sounds. The warning light turns off after all occupants are buckled up.
If passengers in the rear seats remain unbuckled, the warning light automatically turns off after 33 seconds.
If the seat belt reminder malfunctions, do not use the seat and contact NIO immediately for inspection.
Pull the seat belt by the belt buckle evenly across your body, ensuring the shoulder strap is placed over the shoulder while the lap strap of the belt is positioned across the pelvis. Never place the seat belt across the neck or abdomen. Insert the belt buckle into the belt latch until you hear a click indicating it is locked in place.
Press the button and slide the belt up or down to adjust the seat belt height. Release the button when the belt is at an appropriate height. To check if the belt is securely locked in place, pull firmly on the shoulder strap of the belt.
To release the seat belt, press the red button on the belt latch to pop out the belt buckle. Guide the belt back by hand so that it can roll up more easily.
Ensure that the backrest and head restraint are positioned correctly before wearing a seat belt, so that the seat belt can protect the occupant to the fullest extent possible.
A seat belt that is either too loose or too tight can cause injury if a collision occurs.
For a pregnant occupant, the seat belt must rest evenly across the chest and as low and flat as possible across the hips. Failure to do so can cause severe injury to both the unborn fetus and the mother if the seat belt tightens in the event of an accident.
As a restraint system, the airbags are a supplement to seat belts. Airbags can quickly inflate in the event of a severe accident to protect the head and chest of the occupant and reduce injury severity. However, they cannot prevent injuries to limbs and body surface. Occupants enjoy maximum protection only when both airbags and seat belts are used appropriately.
Your vehicle is equipped with collision sensors. When a front or side collision that satisfies the conditions of deploying the airbag system occurs, the corresponding airbags will deploy. The gas generator inside the airbag will be enabled to release gas at a certain pressure to open the airbag cover and fill the entire airbag, forming a protective buffer layer to protect occupants and reduce the risk of injury or death.
The airbag system includes front airbags and side airbags. Front airbags include front head airbags that are located in the steering wheel and on the headliner on the passenger side. Side airbags include front side airbags (located on the outside of the front seats) and curtain airbags (located on the headliner on both sides from the A pillar to the C pillar). The locations of the airbags are labeled “AIRBAG”.
Driver's airbag
Front passenger airbag
Front side airbags
Curtain airbags
Airbags are a supplementary restraint system and cannot replace seat belts. The airbag can only maximize your safety when used in conjunction with the seat belt. Thus, all occupants should always correctly wear their seat belt and sit in the correct position.
The driver should sit at least 25 cm away from the steering wheel, since the airbag may injure the driver when deployed with great force.
Children must not sit in the front passenger seat if the front passenger airbag is enabled. In the case of an accident, the impact of the airbag when deployed may cause severe injury to children.
Do not place any objects on the front passenger seat. These objects will enter the deployment area and be ejected if the airbag deploys in the event of emergency braking, which may injure occupants.
The airbag system can only provide protection once. If the airbag has been deployed, you must have it replaced; during certain accidents, the airbag may not deploy. However, to ensure that the airbag system works properly, please contact NIO immediately for inspection or replacement if necessary.
If any damage or fractures are found on the airbag cover, do not use the vehicle and contact NIO immediately.
If the airbag system has never been deployed for a period of ten years from its production date, please visit NIO to have it replaced. A record of the airbag system’s replacement needs to be kept and given to the new owner when the vehicle’s ownership is transferred.
Installing or removing airbag system components, including airbag labels, is prohibited.
Smoke and fine powder may be produced when the airbag deploys. Even if the fine powder is nontoxic, it may still make occupants feel uncomfortable.
When using seat covers, avoid the area around the side airbags for the front seats. Doing so may impair the protective function of the side airbags.
Do not place any objects in the deployment area of the curtain airbags (including pillars, headliner or handles). Occupants should not lean against the doors. Doing so may result in injury if a curtain airbag deploys.
Do not place any hard objects (including clothes hangers, fruits, or glass bottles) on the garment hooks in the vehicle. Doing so may result in injury if a curtain airbag deploys.
Never place your feet, knees or other body parts on or near the airbag covers. Do not place or hang any objects on or near the airbag covers. Doing so may impair the functionality of the airbags and may result in injury if an airbag deploys.
Never install any electronic devices (such as ETC) on the front windshield on the passenger side. Doing so may result in injury if the front passenger airbag deploys.
Never place, hang or install any objects on or near the instrument panel on the passenger side. Doing so may result in injury if an airbag deploys.
Never modify the headliner of the vehicle. Doing so may impair the functionality of the curtain airbags, and result in injury if they deploy.
Never place or hang any heavy or sharp-edged objects on the front passenger sun visor. Doing so may result in injury if the front passenger airbag deploys.
The smoke and dust generated during the rapid airbag deployment may cause skin or eye irritation/scalds/burns, and the airbag fibers may cause skin scratches or burns.
The vehicle hits a wall or another vehicle at a high speed.
The vehicle hits a hard curb.
The vehicle falls into a deep ditch.
The vehicle is impacted by another vehicle at high speed from the side.
The vehicle goes upward and then hits the road hard.
In the following cases, airbags may not deploy and the occupants should be protected by wearing the seat belts correctly:
The vehicle hits a tree, pole, or other tall and thin object.
The vehicle is hit by another vehicle in the rear.
The vehicle rolls over.
The vehicle collides with or slides under a truck.
The front corner of the vehicle collides with another vehicle.
The front corner of the vehicle collides with a wall.
The vehicle travels sideways into a pole.
The front side of the vehicle is hit by another vehicle at a certain angle.
The side of the vehicle body is hit by another vehicle at a certain angle.
The vehicle is hit by another vehicle on the side.
An airbag warning indicator
on the digital instrument cluster displays the status of airbags. If the indicator is on after the digital instrument cluster turns on, do not use the vehicle and contact NIO immediately.
Because the front airbags rapidly inflate and unfold with great force, the distance between front airbags and front occupants should be at least 25 centimeters. If a child or an occupant with special medical needs is seated in the front passenger seat, enter the settings page from the leftmost side of the control bar at the bottom of the center display and tap
Driving > Front Passenger Airbag to turn it off. Then, the icon
will pop up on the top of the center display to remind you that the front passenger airbag has been disabled. This can reduce the risk of severe injury to vulnerable groups.

When driving at a low speed (normally below 30 km/h), the vehicle emits a sound to alert other road users such as pedestrians and other vehicles of your presence.
When driving at a speed between 0 km/h and 20 km/h, the sound gets louder as your speed increases.
When driving at a speed between 20 km/h and 30 km/h, the sound gets weaker as speed increases.
When driving at a speed over 30 km/h, the vehicle stops emitting the sound.
When driving at a speed below 25 km/h, the vehicle will emit the sound again.
When the vehicle starts from a standstill or travels at a low speed, if the driver quickly depresses the accelerator pedal fully and there is a risk of collision with other vehicles or pedestrians in the direction of travel, the system will limit the acceleration of the vehicle, together with an alarm prompt, to reduce the risk of collision caused by improper acceleration.
Go to the Settings page from the leftmost side of the control bar at the bottom of the center display, and tap Driver Assistance > Improper Acceleration Inhibition Assist to turn this function on or off.
In the case of obstacles ahead, the Improper Acceleration Inhibition Assist function works at a vehicle speed of about 0-30 km/h.
When your vehicle is in the reverse gear, the Improper Acceleration Inhibition Assist function works at a vehicle speed of about 0-5 km/h.
When Improper Acceleration Inhibition Assist is triggered, the instrument cluster will display a text warning, and the power output will be limited for a short time with no braking applied to the vehicle. Do not rely excessively on this function.
Improper Acceleration Inhibition Assist cannot inhibit acceleration in all conditions. This function is designed to reduce the severity of collisions, not to prevent collisions. Currently, there are only a few scenarios covered at this stage. This function can only reduce the occurrence of accidents in specific scenarios. Do not actively attempt to use this function.
Your vehicle speed is within a reasonable range
The radar functions normally and provides clear vision
The camera functions normally and provides clear vision
This function cannot be turned off in guest mode, for service authorized users and in preset accounts.
This function is usually triggered in the underground garage and on non-high-speed elevated urban expressways.
When Improper Acceleration Inhibition Assist is turned off, no improper acceleration will be limited or no alarm will be issued for your vehicle.
After this function is activated, if you continue to depress the accelerator pedal hard for a short time, this function will be deactivated and your vehicle will accelerate normally.
As a driver assistance function, Improper Acceleration Inhibition Assist cannot cope with all traffic, weather and road conditions, and cannot detect vehicles, bikes or pedestrians in all conditions. It may be ineffective, inappropriate or delayed due to several factors.
Always pay attention to the traffic conditions and road environment. Do not rely on Improper Acceleration Inhibition Assist to avoid collisions or mitigate the impact of collisions. Otherwise, injury or vehicle damage may occur as a result.
Do not intentionally drive towards vehicles, cyclists, or pedestrians to test the Improper Acceleration Inhibition Assist function for safety reasons.
Please drive with caution. If you discover danger, do not wait for Improper Acceleration Inhibition Assist to trigger before taking action.
You always bear the ultimate responsibility for safe driving and shall abide by the current traffic laws and regulations.

The above warnings, precautions and restrictions have not fully covered all the situations that may affect the normal operation of the Improper Acceleration Inhibition Assist system. There are many factors that may interfere with the Improper Acceleration Inhibition Assist system. In order to prevent accidents from occurring, you need to drive attentively and focus on the traffic, road, and vehicle conditions to ensure safe driving.
When you press the brake pedal and shift the vehicle into DRIVE or REVERSE,
appears on the digital instrument cluster, indicating that the vehicle is ready to hit the road. After you shift into a gear successfully, the digital instrument cluster then displays the current gear. Otherwise, it will remind you to confirm the current gear.
DRIVE (D): normal drive mode
REVERSE (R): you can only shift to R when the vehicle is stopped
PARK (P): the vehicle is secured in place
To enable/disable the sound, enter the settings page from the leftmost side of the control bar at the bottom of the center display and tap Sounds > Gear Shifting Sound.
Always confirm the gear on the digital instrument cluster after shifting gears. If there are any inconsistencies with the gear displayed, double confirm or shift gears again.
You can only shift into PARK when the vehicle is stationary and the brake pedal is pressed.
Before leaving the vehicle or stopping it on a slope, ensure that the gear is shifted into PARK. If you have not confirmed the gear on the digital instrument cluster, the vehicle may roll away.
Different drive modes can bring different driving characteristics to your vehicle. They can optimize your driving experience and make your driving more convenient in special circumstances.
For your vehicle, there are four routine modes: "Comfort", "Eco", "Sport" and "Custom", as well as multi-terrain modes such as "Snow".
In Eco mode, the system will prioritize saving energy for your vehicle. Compared with other drive modes, the comfortableness of the A/C is slightly poor. If necessary, you can set a higher or lower temperature than what is set in other modes manually.
When you use your vehicle for the first time, the initial setting for drive mode is "Comfort". Once your drive mode setting is changed, the newly selected drive mode will be automatically applied the next time your vehicle is used.
You can enter the settings through the drive mode Quick Access on the center control panel.

Hill Start Assist helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when you start the vehicle on an incline.
When you release the brake pedal, the system continues to apply the brakes for up to two seconds. The temporary braking will be released after two seconds or when you begin to speed up.
When the vehicle has stopped temporarily, Autohold can continue to apply the brakes when you release the brake pedal to keep the vehicle stationary.
When braking the vehicle to a complete stop, you can activate Autohold with another full press on the brake pedal, and the icon
will appear on the digital instrument cluster. When the feature is activated, press the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal to exit Autohold.
In case of emergency, slamming the brake pedal will activate Autohold.
You can also activate the feature when braking the vehicle to stop on inclines. In this case, the brake system can provide a brake force sufficient to keep the vehicle stationary.
The grade of the slope shall not exceed 20%.
Forward Collision Warning provides visual and audible warnings in situations where your distance to another vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle, or pedestrian in front of you is shorter than the set warning distance.
For detection of vehicles moving in the same direction, Forward Collision Warning operates only when you are driving between about 8 km/h and 180 km/h.
For detection of pedestrians or cyclists, Forward Collision Warning operates only when you are driving between about 8 km/h and 85 km/h.
Forward Collision Warning is only a supplement to, and not a substitute for, your attention and judgment. As a driving assist feature, Forward Collision Warning cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions, and cannot detect vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians in all situations. Several factors can cause an invalid, inappropriate or untimely warning.
You must pay attention to the traffic and road conditions at all times and never depend on Forward Collision Warning to warn you of a potential collision. Failure to do so can cause personal injury or vehicle damage. For safety reasons, never test the use of Forward Collision Warning when facing the direction of other vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians. If you come across a dangerous situation, never wait for Forward Collision Warning to intervene before you take action. You always bear the ultimate responsibility for driving safely and complying with applicable traffic laws and regulations.
Enter Settings from the bottom left of the center display, and touch ADAS > Forward Collision Warning to enable or disable the feature.
To adjust warning time, enter Settings from the bottom left of the center display, and touch ADAS > Timing.
When Forward Collision Warning is disabled, your vehicle will not warn you of a possible collision. It is not suggested to turn it off.
This feature will be turned on when the vehicle's system restarts.
Forward Collision Warning may fail to function as intended due to camera detection failures in some situations, including but not limited to:
The position of the camera is changed.
The camera is obstructed or stained.

Animals
Traffic lights
Walls
Barriers (traffic cones, etc.)
Other non-vehicle objects
When the vehicle turns left at a speed of about 10-30 km/h and a risk of collision with an oncoming vehicle is detected within the detection range, Forward Collision Warning will be triggered.
In other scenarios, oncoming vehicles will not trigger Forward Collision Warning.
This feature cannot ensure that all special-shaped vehicles can be identified in all conditions. You need to pay extra attention, especially at night. Special-shaped vehicles may include tricycles, vehicles with a damaged taillight, unclear rear contour, or obstructed rear body, irregular-shaped vehicles, vehicles with a rear body lower than a certain height, or unloaded transporters for carrying vehicles.
This feature may miss stationary or slow-moving vehicles, especially at night when the driver needs to pay extra attention.
For optimal performance, pedestrian detection requires clear and complete body contour information. This entails being able to detect the pedestrian's head, arms, shoulders, legs, and upper and lower body in combination with normal human movement patterns. Forward Collision Warning may fail to function as intended due to failures to identify pedestrians in some situations, including but not limited to:
Pedestrians are lower than 100 centimeters or higher than 200 centimeters.
Pedestrians in clothing (such as raincoats and gowns) that hides their body contours (such as arms and legs).
Pedestrians who are too close to your vehicle when first caught in the sensor’s field of view.
Pedestrians carrying large baggage or backpacks.
Pedestrians in poor contrast with the background color.
Pedestrians with an umbrella that hides their body contour (such as arms and legs).

Forward Collision Warning may not provide a warning in certain situations, including but not limited to:
The driver is already applying the brakes.
The driver fully or suddenly presses the accelerator pedal.
The driver turns the steering wheel sharply.
When a frontal collision with a vehicle, cyclist, or pedestrian is considered unavoidable, the system applies the brakes to reduce your speed and minimize the impact of the collision.
For detection of vehicles moving in the same direction, Automatic Emergency Brake operates only when you are driving between about 8 km/h and 130km/h.
For detection of pedestrians or cyclists, Automatic Emergency Brake operates only when you are driving between about 8 km/h and 85 km/h.
When Automatic Emergency Brake has been triggered, the vehicle speed is reduced by up to 60 km/h to mitigate the impact of a possible collision. For example, if Automatic Emergency Brake is triggered at a speed of 90 km/h, the brakes are released after the vehicle speed has been reduced to 30 km/h.
When Automatic Emergency Brake is triggered, the instrument cluster displays a warning message, the brake pedal moves downward abruptly, and the brake lights turn on.
As a driving assist feature, Automatic Emergency Braking cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions and cannot detect vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians in all situations. Several factors can cause an invalid, inappropriate or untimely warning.
You must pay attention to the traffic and road conditions at all times and never depend on Automatic Emergency Braking to avoid collisions or reduce the impact of a collision. Failure to do so can cause personal injury or vehicle damage. For safety reasons, never test the use of Automatic Emergency Braking when facing the direction of other vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians. If you come across a dangerous situation, never wait for Automatic Emergency Braking to intervene before taking action. You always bear the ultimate responsibility for driving safely and complying with applicable traffic laws and regulations.
Enter Settings from the bottom left of the center display, and touch ADAS >Automatic Emergency Brake to enable or disable the feature.
When Automatic Emergency Braking is disabled, your vehicle will not automatically apply the brakes even if a potential frontal collision is detected. It is not suggested to turn it off.

Uphill or downhill roads.
Bumpy roads.
Tunnel entrances and exits.
The braking distance increases on slippery roads. If Anti-Lock Braking System, Traction Control System and Electronic Stability Program are triggered, the performance of Automatic Emergency Braking in reducing the impact of a collision may be impaired.
The brake pedal moves downward abruptly during automatic braking events. Do not place any objects under the brake pedal. Doing so can impede the ability of the brake pedal to move freely.
Automatic Emergency Braking is not a substitute for maintaining a safe traveling distance between you and the vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians in front of you. Do not stay too close to vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians in front of you and avoid driving aggressively.
Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to reduce the impact of frontal collisions only. It does not function when your vehicle is in REVERSE.
Automatic Emergency Braking may not apply the brakes or may stop applying the brakes in certain situations, including but not limited to:
The driver fully or suddenly presses the accelerator pedal.
The driver turns the steering wheel sharply.
The driver’s seat belt is unbuckled.
The driver’s door is not closed.
Automatic Emergency Braking has been triggered and cannot be triggered again within roughly 20 seconds.
No vehicle, cyclist or pedestrian is detected in front of the vehicle.
The above-mentioned limitations do not represent an exhaustive list of factors that may interfere with the proper operation of Automatic Emergency Braking. It is the driver's responsibility to avoid collisions by staying alert at all times and controlling the vehicle.
Multi Collision Braking (MCB) comes standard on ES8. In certain types of collisions, the vehicle applies brakes to help prevent or mitigate a secondary collision.
To help avoid or mitigate a secondary collision, the brakes are applied automatically to help braking the vehicle to stop. The brake lights and hazard warning flashers will be activated and the flashers will remain on after the vehicle has come to a standstill. The electrical parking brake will then be applied automatically.
In a situation where stopping the vehicle may not be desirable, you can override this operation by pressing the accelerator pedal.
This feature can only operate when the braking system is sufficiently intact after the collision.
Lane Keeping Assist uses the trifocal camera to detect lane lines. When lane lines are clearly detected and the vehicle is drifting out of the current lane, it warns you or applies steering assist to reduce the risk of lane departure.
Lane Keeping Assist includes:
Warning only (Lane Departure Warning): reminds you with appropriate visual and audio alerts when your vehicle is drifting into an adjacent lane or crossing the lane line.
Warning and control (Lane Keeping Assist): slightly steers the vehicle to reduce the possibility of lane departure and provides appropriate visual and audio alerts when your vehicle is drifting into an adjacent lane or crossing the lane line.
Lane Keeping Assist can only provide limited steering assist and cannot control the vehicle's speed.
Lane Keeping Assist is unable to constantly control the steering. Therefore, it cannot always keep the vehicle centered in the lane.
Lane Keeping Assist has limited steering torque which can only provide a slight steering assist and cannot fully guarantee the prevention of lane departure. Therefore, do not rely solely on Lane Keeping Assist to steer. Take over steering immediately when necessary.
Please take over steering immediately when cornering, turning around, or driving on winding roads or roads with sharp curves.
As a driving assist feature, Lane Keeping Assist cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions. Lane Keeping Assist is only a supplement to, and does not function as a substitute for, your visual observation.
You must always pay attention to traffic and road conditions, and make your own decision on whether to use Lane Keeping Assist if it is safe. You should take over steering immediately when you find that the conditions of the traffic, road or the vehicle are not suitable for enabling Lane Keeping Assist, or there are other unsafe factors. You always bear the ultimate responsibility for driving safely in the lane and complying with applicable traffic laws and regulations.
The following behaviors are prohibited when driving:
Relying solely on Lane Keeping Assist

Enter Settings from the bottom left of the center display, and touch Driver Assist >Emergency Lane Keeping to enable or disable the feature.
When the vehicle speed is between 65 km/h to 130 km/h, Emergency Lane Keeping may be triggered in the following four emergent situations:
Without engaging the turn signal, the vehicle involuntarily deviates from its lane to the right.
When the lane lines are solid, without engaging the turn signal, the vehicle involuntarily deviates from its lane to a solid lane line.
When there are oncoming vehicles on the adjacent left lane, without engaging the turn signal, the vehicle involuntarily deviates from its lane to the left.
When there are vehicles approaching rapidly from behind on the adjacent left lane, the vehicle involuntarily deviates from its lane to the left or voluntarily makes a lane change.
Emergency Lane Keeping has limited steering torque which can only provide certain steering assist and cannot fully guarantee the prevention of lane departure or avoidance of danger. Therefore, please take over steering in time instead of relying solely on Emergency Lane Keeping.
Please control the vehicle direction immediately when cornering, turning around, or driving on winding roads or roads with sharp curves.
As a driver assist feature, Emergency Lane Keeping cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
You must always pay attention to traffic and road conditions. Never rely solely on Emergency Lane Keeping to avoid danger. For safety reasons, never test this feature by deliberately or actively triggering Emergency Lane Keeping. If you come across a dangerous situation, never wait Emergency Lane Keeping to intervene before taking action. You always bear the ultimate responsibility for driving safely in the lane and complying with applicable traffic laws and regulations.

Motorway Pilot and Traffic Jam Pilot perform Lane Keeping and Steering Assist alongside speed control and distance maintenance by Adaptive Cruise Control. Pilot detects vehicles in front of you with the trifocal camera and millimeter-wave radars, and automatically controls your speed to maintain a safe distance. Pilot also identifies lane lines with the trifocal camera and can provide steering assist to keep the vehicle in the current lane when there are clear lane lines on both sides.
As a driving assist feature, Pilot does not perform autonomous driving, so you must concentrate on the road.
Pilot is mainly used on roads with clear lane lines and limited access, such as main roads and congested sections of motorways and elevated roads.
Steering Assist only functions when you hold the steering wheel while driving to ensure that you can take over the steering at any time. If it detects that your hands are off the steering wheel, Steering Assist will provide a reminder with visual and sound alerts.
Steering Assist will strive to keep the vehicle in the lane when there are clear lane lines on both sides. Special road conditions and poor lighting on rainy days or at nighttime may result in impaired lane recognition, failure to keep the vehicle in the lane, or scratching. In this case, it is suggested that you temporarily turn off Pilot and switch to Adaptive Cruise Control.
As a driving assist feature, Pilot cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
You must always pay attention to traffic and road conditions, and make your own decision on whether to use Pilot if it is safe. You should always be ready to take over when you find that the conditions of the traffic, road or the vehicle are not suitable for Pilot, or there are other unsafe factors. You always bear the ultimate responsibility for maintaining an appropriate distance, speed, and steering, and complying with current traffic laws and regulations.
The following behaviors are prohibited when driving:
Relying solely on Pilot
Using Pilot in bad weather conditions
Using Pilot in an environment where there are pedestrians, bicycles or animals
Using Pilot on sharp curves
Using Pilot when the lane lines are unclear or the lighting is poor
Hands off the steering wheel
Eyes off the road
As a feature for driving comfort, and not for preventing collisions, Pilot has a limited maximum deceleration that is less than the maximum deceleration requested for Automatic Emergency Brake and normal driving scenarios.
Pilot may fail to stop your vehicle when its speed relative to the lead vehicle is greater than 50 km/h. In this case, exit Pilot immediately for your safety. Do not use Pilot to fully stop your vehicle behind another stationary vehicle or follow the lead vehicle to a stop in this situation.
Pilot has a limited steering torque that is less than the maximum steering force required in normal driving scenarios. Therefore, do not rely solely on Pilot to steer your vehicle. You should always be prepared to take over the steering, especially when navigating curves.
Please take over the steering immediately when cornering, turning around, or driving on winding roads. Do not rely on Pilot in such situations.

Icon not shown: Pilot cannot be activated as the required conditions are not met.
Icon in gray: Pilot is awaiting activation.
Icon in white: Steering Assist is in the Standby Mode. Pilot is ready to engage Adaptive Cruise Control and is searching for lane lines.
Icon in blue: Pilot is fully activated with both Adaptive Cruise Control and Steering Assist.
When operating conditions are met, press
in the middle to activate Pilot.
If the lane lines on both sides are clear and your vehicle is in the center of the lane, Adaptive Cruise Control and Steering Assist will engage together.
If the lane lines on both sides are not clear and your vehicle is not in the center of the lane, Adaptive Cruise Control will engage first and start searching for lane lines. Steering Assist will engage when required conditions are met.
Pilot can be activated at a speed of 15-130 km/h with no vehicles in front, or at 0-130 km/h with a vehicle in front.
The cruise speed is set at 30 km/h when the vehicle speed is below 30 km/h.
The cruise speed is set at the current speed when the vehicle speed is above 30 km/h.
After Adaptive Cruise Control engages and starts searching for lane lines, you can release the accelerator pedal and let Pilot maintain the set cruise speed.
When there is a vehicle ahead, Pilot will adjust the speed according to the speed and distance to the lead vehicle. The maximum speed will not exceed the cruise speed.
When there are no vehicles ahead, Pilot will quickly adjust the speed of your vehicle to the cruise speed.
When Steering Assist engages, it will actively control your steering, but please continue to lightly grip the steering wheel with both hands. As your hands may have a slight impact on steering assist, please pay close attention to the vehicle’s movement and remain prepared to take over the steering wheel at any time.
When Pilot controls your steering, the steering wheel will turn accordingly. When Pilot accelerates the vehicle, the accelerator pedal does not move. When Pilot brakes the vehicle, the brake pedal might move.
Operating conditions for Pilot:
The speed does not exceed 130 km/h.
The trifocal camera and millimeter-wave radars are operating normally with a clear view.
All Pilot components are operating correctly.
Your vehicle meets all safety conditions, including:
The driver is seated.
The driver has fastened the seat belt.
All doors are closed.
The vehicle is in DRIVE.
The brake pedal is not pressed.
Anti-Lock Braking System, Traction Control System and Electronic Stability Program are not triggered.
The Traction Control System and Electronic Stability Program are not manually disabled.
When Steering Assist is on standby, Adaptive Cruise Control will continue searching for lane lines and Lane Keeping Assist will maintain normal operations if the required conditions are met. For more details, please refer to “Lane Keeping Assist”
When Steering Assist is active and a vehicle in an adjacent lane is too close to your vehicle, Pilot may steer your vehicle slightly away from the center of the lane to avoid a collision. However, do not deliberately attempt to solely rely on this feature. You should take over the vehicle when necessary.
When Pilot is activated:
Press
or
on the steering wheel to change the cruise speed by +/- 1 km/h.
Press and hold
or
on the steering wheel to change the cruise speed by +/- 5 km/h.
Press the accelerator pedal and press
to set the cruise speed to the current speed if the current speed is greater than the set cruise speed, or to increase the cruise speed by 1 km/h if the current speed is less than the set cruise speed.
When using Pilot, you can set a cruise speed of up to 130 km/h.
The minimum set speed of Pilot is 30 km/h, but Pilot can follow a lead vehicle to a full stop (0 km/h).
The maximum set speed is the theoretical top speed for Pilot. Please comply with traffic safety laws and regulations, including but not limited to vehicle speed, when enabling and setting Pilot.
When Pilot is activated or awaiting activation, the following time-distance can be set to one of five grades.
Press
to increase the following time-distance by one level.
Press
to decrease the following time-distance by one level.
When the time distance for vehicle following is set shorter, Pilot’s driving pattern will be more aggressive, which may cause discomfort.
It is your responsibility to determine and maintain a safe following distance at all time. Do not rely solely on Pilot to maintain an accurate or appropriate following distance.
When driving with Pilot, you can take over the vehicle by firmly pressing the accelerator pedal or turning the steering wheel. When you take over by pressing the accelerator pedal, Pilot will longer respond to the movements of the target lead vehicle.
When you stop pressing the accelerator pedal, Pilot will immediately resume.
When you take over by turning the steering wheel, Steering Assist will temporarily switch to standby, but Adaptive Cruise Control will remain on and search for lane lines. In this case, steering is under your control.
When you stop turning the steering wheel, if the lane lines on both sides are clear and your vehicle is in the center of the lane, Pilot will automatically resume.
If Pilot is deactivated by pressing
or the brake pedal, it can be reactivated by pressing
and will resume the previously set cruise speed.
Five seconds after following the lead vehicle to a stop, Pilot can be reactivated by pressing
or the accelerator pedal. In this case, it will resume the previously set cruise speed.
When Pilot is reactivated, Adaptive Cruise Control is the first to engage and will start searching for lane lines. If the lane lines on both sides are clear and your vehicle is in the center of the lane, Steering Assist will engage concurrently.
When Pilot Steering Assist is functioning properly, toggling the turn signal lever will put Pilot Steering Assist on standby, which requires you to take over the steering promptly. During this time, Adaptive Cruise Control will remain on and continue searching for lane lines. When the required conditions are met, Steering Assist will resume automatically.
Steering Assist may fail to operate as intended in certain situations or disengage to standby while providing sound and text alerts to remind you to take over steering. During this time, Adaptive Cruise Control will remain on and continue searching for lane lines. When the required conditions are met, Steering Assist will resume automatically. The situations include but are not limited to:
The vehicle is passing through a sharp curve, e.g. an expressway ramp or traffic diversion lines.
Lane lines are unclear, worn, missing, overlapping, or obscured by shadows cast by other vehicles, buildings, or landscape features.
The road has no lane lines, such as non-standard roads, intersections, or construction areas.
The road has special lane lines, such as deceleration lines or diversion lines.
Lane lines are not clearly divided, such as lane lines merging or diverting, expressway ramps, urban intersections, left-turn waiting areas, etc.
There are edges or other high-contrast lines on the road instead of lane lines, such as road joints or curbs.
Lane lines cannot be or are incorrectly identified due to changes in height, such as on sloped roads.
Lane lines cannot be or are incorrectly identified due to lighting conditions, such as strong light which leads to reflective lane lines and poor visibility or insufficient light due to bad weather or night.
The lanes are too wide or too narrow.
When the following conditions occur, Pilot deactivates, stops automatic speed and steering control, and emits an audio alert:
The steering wheel button
is pressed.
The brake pedal is pressed.
The driver continuously presses the accelerator pedal for about one minute to take over control.
The vehicle is stopped for about five minutes.
The driver’s hands are off the steering wheel for an extended period.
Pilot will also be deactivated when its operating conditions are not met. Upon deactivation, you must immediately take over control of the brake pedal, accelerator pedal, and steering wheel.
When Pilot is canceled, your vehicle may decelerate due to power regeneration and will no longer automatically control steering and speed.
Pilot may suddenly be canceled due to unexpected circumstances. Please always pay attention to traffic and road conditions, and be prepared to take over at any time.
Steering Assist is in the Standby Mode and Pilot is ready to engage Adaptive Cruise Control and is searching for lane lines. However, you still control steering.
Pilot is fully activated with both Adaptive Cruise Control and Steering Assist.
Pilot is deactivated and in the Standby Mode. It can be reactivated by pressing
.
Information displayed on the digital instrument cluster can only be used as a reference and cannot perfectly reflect the real traffic conditions. Therefore, do not rely on the information displayed on the digital instrument cluster.
When neither lane line is clear, but there is a vehicle in front that meets requirements, your vehicle can follow the lead vehicle for a short time.
When lane lines are unclear on both sides and your vehicle is following the lead vehicle, you may collide with other vehicles in adjacent lanes if the lead vehicle changes lanes at a slow speed. Therefore, you need to be prepared to take over at any time to ensure your safety.
Hold the steering wheel and keep your eyes on the road in front.
When using Pilot, make sure you hold the steering wheel and keep eyes on the road in front.
If the system detects that you are not holding the steering wheel for a period of time, the digital instrument cluster will display "Hold the steering wheel. Or Pilot will be temporarily disabled" with continuous warning sounds.
Pilot will be temporarily disabled if you do not take over the vehicle. Then you won’t be able to activate it or Adaptive Cruise Control in the current driving cycle. You can resume it by shifting into PARK after stopping your vehicle.
The alert will disappear when the system detects that you are holding the steering wheel.
Pilot may still alert you when you are holding the steering wheel. In this case, you can lightly grip or turn the steering wheel to cancel the alert.
As Pilot may not detect when you take your hands off the steering wheel and fail to send an alert, do not rely solely on the system to remind you to hold the steering wheel.
Emergency Driver Assist
If the system detects that you are not holding the steering wheel or paying attention to the road after prompting you with "Hold the steering wheel. Or Pilot will be temporarily disabled", the system will activate Emergency Driver Assist once the conditions are met. In this case, the instrument cluster will prompt you with "Emergency Driver Assist activated. Take over now", and turn on the hazard warning lights. The vehicle will apply brake jerks and sound chimes to remind you to take over, and brake the vehicle until it stops. When the vehicle is stopped, it will unlock the doors automatically.
When Emergency Driver Assist is activated, you can take over anytime by pressing the accelerator pedal or brake pedal, rotating the steering wheel or turning off the hazard warning lights.
Emergency Driving Assist can only function properly when the restrictions for Pilot are met.
When activated, Emergency Driving Assist will brake the vehicle until it stops. During the process, drifting or collision may not be avoided. Do not rely on or deliberately trigger this feature.
Keep a Safe Distance
If the digital instrument cluster displays "Collision risk, keep a safe distance," it means that a safe distance can no longer be guaranteed with the maximum deceleration that Pilot can exert and there may be a risk of collision. In this case, you must immediately take over the brake pedal and steering wheel to control the speed and steering.
If you encounter a dangerous situation, do not wait for a warning before taking action and take over immediately.
When following a lead vehicle to a full stop:
If the lead vehicle starts within about five seconds, Pilot will automatically start the vehicle to follow. You need to ensure it is safe to follow the lead vehicle to avoid any collisions.
If the lead vehicle starts within about five seconds, Pilot automatically starts the vehicle to follow. Before that, Pilot will emit a sound to remind you.
If the lead vehicle starts after five seconds, the digital instrument cluster reminds you that "The lead vehicle started", and you need to ensure it is safe to follow the lead car, and press
or press the accelerator pedal to reactivate Pilot to follow.
If the lead vehicle remains stopped for over five minutes, Pilot is deactivated and the Electric Parking Brake is engaged.
After following the lead vehicle to a full stop, Pilot can only restart your vehicle when a distance of over four meters is maintained.
Pilot cannot detect other vehicles or road users in all situations and may be ineffective, inappropriate, or late due to multiple factors. You must pay attention to the traffic and road conditions at all times and never rely on Pilot to start your vehicle to follow the lead vehicle. Failure to do so can cause personal injury or vehicle damage.
The indicator of the set cruise speed
For more details, refer to "Traffic Sign Recognition and Speed Limit Warning" in the User Manual.
When the system detects that the speed limit information has changed and is over 10 km/h higher than the set speed, the cruise speed indicator on the instrument cluster will flash for a period of time. In this case, press the "Resume/+" button on the steering wheel to quickly adjust the cruise speed to the newly detected speed limit.
When the system detects that the speed limit information has changed and is over 10 km/h lower than the set speed, the cruise speed indicator on the instrument cluster will flash for a period of time. In this case, press the "-" button on the steering wheel to quickly adjust the cruise speed to the newly detected speed limit.
When the speed setting icon no longer flashes, short press the "Resume/+" or "–" button on the steering wheel to change the cruise speed by +/–1 km/h. For details, refer to "Adjusting Cruise Speed".
Intelligent Speed Assist is only a supplement to, and does not function as a substitute for, your visual observation. Never rely solely on Intelligent Speed Assist to set the cruise speed and vehicle speed. You must always pay attention to the traffic conditions and road conditions, and drive at an appropriate and safe speed in compliance with applcable traffic laws and regulations.
When following the lead vehicle, if you turn on the left turn signal and turn the steering wheel to attempt to overtake the lead vehicle, this feature will help you accelerate with the maximum speed as the set cruise speed.
Operating conditions for Overtaking Assist:
Pilot is enabled and a lead vehicle is detected.
The speed is over 50 km/h but not above the set cruise speed.
There is no lane line or a dashed line on the target lane.
A safe distance is kept between your vehicle and the lead vehicle.
Hazard warning lights are off.
Turn signals are operating correctly.
When the above-mentioned conditions are met, fully engage the left turn signal to activate Overtaking Assist. Steering Assist will temporarily switch to standby, but Adaptive Cruise Control will remain activated. When you turn the steering wheel left, Adaptive Cruise Control will continue to maintain a safe distance to the lead vehicle, but allow you to get slightly closer than the set distance. When changing lanes, Adaptive Cruise Control will accelerate the vehicle without the accelerator pedal being pressed, but the maximum speed will not exceed the set cruise speed.
Your vehicle may decelerate when Overtaking Assist is in operation due to the lead vehicle in the current or target lane, which is highlighted on the digital instrument cluster.
Overtaking Assist is deactivated and Adaptive Cruise Control remains activated in the following situations:
The lane change is completed.
Overtaking Assist is active for too long.
The turn signal lever is toggled back before a lane change.
When the operating conditions for Pilot are not met, Overtaking Assist and Pilot will both be canceled.
Overtaking Assist only assists in adjusting the vehicle's driving speed, and cannot control the steering. You must manually control the steering at all times.
Overtaking Assist is unable to distinguish your intention to overtake from your intention to turn left.
Overtaking Assist only detects the vehicle in front of you. In order to ensure your safety, you must take the initiative to inspect your surroundings before and during the process of overtaking.
When using Overtaking Assist, you should be aware of the possibility of sudden acceleration or a lack of acceleration, and always be prepared to press or fully press the accelerator pedal to take over. Do not rely solely on this feature to overtake other vehicles.
Overtaking Assist may fail to operate as intended in certain situations, including but not limited to:
Approaching a left-hand exit
Driving on winding roads
The front vehicle's status in the current or target lane changes suddenly, e.g. sudden deceleration
Obstacles to the side or rear of the vehicle
On motorways or elevated roads, if Pilot detects that there is a vehicle to your left front going faster than 85 km/h in the same direction, Overtaking Right Prevention will be activated. The target vehicle will be highlighted on the instrument cluster, and Pilot will prevent the vehicle from overtaking the target vehicle. You can adjust the following time-distance to the lead vehicle.
Overtaking Right Prevention is deactivated in the following situations:
There is no target vehicle on the left front.
The speed of the target vehicle is below 70 km/h.
The accelerator pedal is pressed.
Pilot is deactivated.
Disabling Overtaking On The Right may miss or incorrectly identify left front vehicles. Disabling Overtaking On The Right cannot guarantee that the vehicle will not overtake on the right. You must always pay attention to the traffic conditions and road conditions, be ready to control the vehicle speed, and comply with applicable traffic laws and regulations.
When NOMI is not in a conversation and Pilot engages, disengages, or requires steering takeover, NOMI will use audio reminders and facial expressions to help you operate Pilot more safely and efficiently.
Enter Settings from the bottom left of the center display, and touch Driver Assist > NOMI Pilot Notification to enable or disable the feature. NOMI Pilot Notification is enabled by default.
In some situations, the camera system may fail to recognize obstacles, which may affect the performance of Pilot or even cause the unintended deactivation of Pilot with a message that reads "Camera view limited. Pilot deactivated" on the digital instrument cluster. Such situations include but are not limited to:
The position of the camera is changed.
The camera is obstructed or stained.
The performance of the camera is reduced at night.
Visibility is poor in dim environments, such as at dawn, dusk, night, or in a tunnel.
The view of the camera is interfered with sudden changes in brightness, such as when entering or exiting a tunnel.
The view of the camera is interfered with large shadows cast by buildings, landscape features, or large vehicles.
The view of the camera is interfered with direct light.
Visibility is poor due to rain, snow, fog, haze, and other bad weather.
Visibility is poor due to exhaust gas, splashes, snow, or dust kicked up by vehicles in front of you.
The camera is obstructed by water, dust, small scratches, grease, dirt, wipers, frost, or snow on the windshield.
The road is wet.
In some situations, the radar system may fail to recognize obstacles, which may affect the performance of Pilot or even cause the unintended deactivation of Pilot. Such situations include but are not limited to:
Radars are misplaced, blocked, or covered with dirt, ice, snow, metal plates, tape, labels, leaves, or other obstructions.
Radars or the surrounding areas are damaged by collisions or scratches.
Heavy rain, snow, fog, and other extreme weather which may impair radar performance
False warnings may be generated by certain metal fences, median strips or concrete walls.
Only qualified vehicles will trigger Pilot. Some targets may not be recognized or responded to, including but not limited to:
Vehicles crossing perpendicular to your vehicle
Oncoming vehicles
Bicycles, motorcycles, and tricycles
Some targets are not responded to, including but not limited to:
Pedestrians
Animals
Traffic lights
Walls
Barriers
Other non-vehicle objects
This feature does not guarantee the recognition of special-shaped targets, especially at night when the driver needs to pay extra attention, e.g. vehicles with a covered rear or irregularly-shaped rear, vehicles with a rear below a certain height, and unladen carriers.
This feature may miss stationary or slow-moving vehicles, especially at night when the driver needs to pay extra attention.
Identification and response may be delayed if the target is not right in the front in some situations, including but not limited to:
Pilot does not respond to targets that are in the blind spot of the sensors. For example, Pilot cannot detect targets in the blind spot at the corner or on the side of the vehicle.
When the vehicle is approaching or navigating a curve, the target may be incorrectly selected or missed, resulting in unintended acceleration or deceleration.
The target may be lost or the distance to the lead vehicle may be misjudged when the vehicle is on a slope. Driving downhill will increase the vehicle speed so as to exceed the cruise speed.
When only a part of the vehicle in the adjacent lane cuts in front of you (especially large vehicles such as buses and trucks), the target may not be identified and trigger a response. Therefore, you must immediately take over control.
When your vehicle suddenly cuts behind the lead vehicle, or when other vehicles abruptly cut in to or out of the lane in front of you, the target may not be promptly identified. Therefore, you must immediately take over control.
In rare cases, this feature may accelerate your vehicle even when it is not necessary or intended due to a change in, or loss of, the target (especially when cornering or changing lanes).
In rare cases, this feature may apply the vehicle's brakes when it is not necessary or intended due to the detection of vehicles or objects, or a change in, or loss of, a stationary target in the adjacent lane (especially when cornering or changing lanes).
When following the lead vehicle, if your vehicle or the lead vehicle switches out of the current lane, acceleration may be restricted by this feature for a certain period of time for your safety. You can take over by pressing the accelerator pedal.
This feature does not guarantee that the target can be accurately recognized in all situations. Please take over promptly if you find that the target lead vehicle shown on the digital instrument cluster does not match the actual situation. i.e.
A vehicle is in front of you, but the digital instrument cluster shows none.
No vehicle is in front of you, but the digital instrument cluster shows a vehicle.
We do not recommend using Pilot in special or complex road conditions which may affect the performance of Pilot or even cause the unintended deactivation of Pilot. Such conditions include but are not limited to:
Water, mud, potholes, snow, ice, speed bumps, or obstacles on the road.
Large numbers of pedestrians, bicycles, or animals on the road.
Complex and changing traffic flows, such as busy intersections, motorway ramps, and congested roads.
Winding roads and sharp turns.
Uphill or downhill roads.
Bumpy roads.
Narrow roads.
Tunnel entrances and exits.
Non-standard roads.
Roads without center medians.
Construction areas.
If the relative speed between your vehicle and the lead vehicle is too high, the limited control capabilities of Pilot may be insufficient to promptly maintain the appropriate distance in some situations, Such situations include but are not limited to:
The front vehicle makes sudden moves (such as an abrupt turn, acceleration, or deceleration).
Other vehicles suddenly cut in or out of the lane in front of you.
Your vehicle suddenly cuts behind a vehicle in front.
Your vehicle rushes towards a stationary or slow-moving target at a high speed.
Braking force may not be sufficient in some situations, Such situations include but are not limited to:
The brakes do not fully function (such as when brake components are too cold, hot, or wet).
Improper maintenance (such as excessive brake or tire wear, or abnormal tire pressure).
Driving on special roads (such as sloping roads or roads with water, mud, potholes, snow, or ice).
Pilot may send visual and audio warnings in the event of upfront danger, changes to the lane, unclear lane lines, sharp curves, construction areas or restrictions to the camera's field of view.
Such warnings serve as a reference only, and cannot substitute your own visual observation. Due to the influence of multiple factors, the warning may be ineffective, inappropriate or late. You must always pay attention to traffic and road conditions. Never base your judgment solely on warnings.
Auto Lane Change (ALC) provides an automatic lane change function alongside lane keeping assist. When the vehicle speed exceeds 70 km/h and the environment and road conditions meet certain requirements, the vehicle can change to the adjacent lane automatically by gently toggling the turn signal lever.
Auto Lane Change is mainly used on high-speed roads that require concentration. The current and the target lanes must have good light, clear lane lines, and room for lane change.
Auto Lane Change can only change one lane at a time.
Auto Lane Change may fail or cancel if the light and visibility are poor at night, or when lane lines are not clear. In this case, please take over promptly.
The information displayed on the digital instrument cluster can only be used as a reference and cannot perfectly reflect the real traffic conditions. Therefore, do not rely on the information displayed on the digital instrument cluster.
Auto Lane Change can only work properly when the operating conditions and restrictions for Steering Assist are met. For more details, please refer to “Pilot” in the User Manual.
You must always confirm if it is safe and appropriate to change lanes before and when changing lanes. Please note that Auto Lane Change cannot respond to pedestrians, obstacles, oncoming vehicles, etc; Auto Lane Change may fail to recognize the target lane or the current lane correctly. Never rely solely on Auto Lane Change to choose a driving path or to change lanes. You always bear the ultimate responsibility for changing lanes safely.
As a driving assist feature, Auto Lane Change cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
You must always pay attention to traffic and road conditions, and make your own decision on whether to use Auto Lane Change if it is safe. You should always be ready to take over when you find that the conditions of the traffic, road or the vehicle are not suitable for Auto Lane Change, or there are other unsafe factors.
You always bear the ultimate responsibility for changing lanes safely and complying with current traffic laws and regulations.
Go to Settings from the leftmost side of the control bar at the bottom of the center display, and tap Driver Assist > Auto Lane Change to enable or disable the feature.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) can maintain the vehicle at the set speed and a set distance with the lead car. Adaptive Cruise Control uses the trifocal camera and millimeter-wave radars to monitor the lead vehicle in your lane and adjusts the speed of your vehicle accordingly.
This system includes the start-stop function that can follow the lead vehicle to a full stop (within a certain deceleration limit). If the lead vehicle starts to move again within a short period of time, your vehicle will automatically resume following. If the lead vehicle stops for too long, your vehicle will resume following only after confirmation.
Adaptive Cruise Control is mainly suitable when you drive long distances on dry, smooth, and standard straight roads, such as motorways, expressways, and long straight main roads.
As a driving assist feature, Adaptive Cruise Control cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
Adaptive Cruise Control controls the speed, but not the direction, of your vehicle.
You must always pay attention to traffic and road conditions, and make your own decision on whether to use Adaptive Cruise Control if it is safe. You should always be ready to take over if you find that the conditions of the traffic, road or the vehicle are not suitable for Adaptive Cruise Control, or there are other unsafe factors. You always bear the ultimate responsibility for maintaining an appropriate distance and speed and complying with current traffic laws and regulations.
The following behaviors are prohibited when driving:
Relying solely on the system
Using the feature in bad weather conditions
Using the system in an environment where there are many pedestrians, bicycles or animals
Using the system on non-standardized roads
Hands off the steering wheel
Eyes off the road
As a feature for driving comfort, and not for preventing collision, Adaptive Cruise Control has a limited maximum deceleration that is less than the maximum deceleration required by Automatic Emergency Brake and normal driving scenarios. Therefore, never rely solely on Adaptive Cruise Control to decelerate the vehicle when avoiding a collision.
Adaptive Cruise Control may fail to stop your vehicle when its speed relative to the lead vehicle is greater than 50 km/h. In this case, exit Adaptive Cruise Control immediately for your safety. Do not rely Adaptive Cruise Control to bring your vehicle to a full stop following the stationary vehicle or the lead vehicle in this situation.

Intelligent Speed Assist is only a supplement to, and does not function as a substitute for, your visual observation. Never rely solely on Intelligent Speed Assist to set the cruise speed and vehicle speed. You must always pay attention to the traffic conditions and road conditions, and drive at an appropriate and safe speed in compliance with applcable traffic laws and regulations.
When following the lead vehicle with Adaptive Cruise Control, if you engage the left turn signal and turn the steering wheel to attempt to overtake the lead vehicle, Overtaking Assist will assist you in accelerating with the maximum speed as the set cruise speed.
Operating conditions for Overtaking Assist:
Adaptive Cruise Control is enabled and a lead vehicle is detected.
The speed is over 50 km/h but not above the set cruise speed.
There is no lane line or a dashed line on the target lane.
A safe distance is kept between your vehicle and the lead vehicle.
Hazard warning lights are off.
Turn signals are operating correctly.
When the above-mentioned conditions are met, fully engage the left turn signal to activate Overtaking Assist. When you turn the steering wheel left, Adaptive Cruise Control will continue to maintain a safe distance to the lead vehicle, but allow you to get slightly closer than the set distance. When changing lanes, Adaptive Cruise Control will accelerate the vehicle without the accelerator pedal being pressed, but the maximum speed will not exceed the set cruise speed.
Your vehicle may decelerate when Overtaking Assist is in operation due to the lead vehicle in the current or target lane, which is highlighted on the digital instrument cluster.
Overtaking Assist is deactivated and Adaptive Cruise Control remains activated in the following situations:
The lane change is completed.
Overtaking Assist is active for too long.
The turn signal lever is toggled back before a lane change.
When the operating conditions for Adaptive Cruise Control are not met, Overtaking Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control will cancel.
Overtaking Assist only assists in adjusting the vehicle's driving speed, and cannot control the steering. You must manually control the steering at all times.
Overtaking Assist is unable to distinguish your intention to overtake from your intention to turn left.
Overtaking Assist only detects the vehicle in front of you. In order to ensure your safety, you must take the initiative to inspect your surroundings before and during the process of overtaking.
When using Overtaking Assist, you should be aware of the possibility of sudden acceleration or a lack of acceleration, and always be prepared to press or fully press the accelerator pedal to take over. Do not rely solely on this feature to overtake other vehicles.
Overtaking Assist may fail to operate as intended in certain situations, including but not limited to:
Approaching a left-hand exit
Driving on winding roads
The front vehicle's status in the current or target lane changes suddenly, e.g. sudden deceleration
Obstacles to the side or rear of the vehicle
On motorways or elevated roads, if Adaptive Cruise Control detects that there is a vehicle to your left front going faster than 85 km/h in the same direction, Overtaking Right Prevention will be activated. The target vehicle will be highlighted on the instrument cluster, and Adaptive Cruise Control will prevent the vehicle from overtaking the target vehicle. You can adjust the following time-distance to the lead vehicle.
Overtaking Right Prevention is deactivated in the following situations:
There is no target vehicle on the left front.
The speed of the target vehicle is below 70 km/h.
The accelerator pedal is pressed.
Adaptive Cruise Control is deactivated.
Disabling Overtaking On The Right may miss or incorrectly identify left front vehicles. Disabling Overtaking On The Right cannot guarantee that the vehicle will not overtake on the right. You must always pay attention to the traffic conditions and road conditions, be ready to control the vehicle speed, and comply with applicable traffic laws and regulations.
In some situations, the camera system may fail to recognize obstacles, which may affect the performance of or even cause the unintended deactivation of Adaptive Cruise Control with a message that reads "Camera view limited. ACC deactivated" on the digital instrument cluster. Such situations include but are not limited to:
The position of the camera is changed.
The camera is obstructed or stained.
The performance of the camera is reduced at night.
Visibility is poor in dim environments, such as at dawn, dusk, night, or in a tunnel.
The view of the camera is interfered with sudden changes in brightness, such as when entering or exiting a tunnel.
The view of the camera is interfered with large shadows cast by buildings, landscape features, or large vehicles.
The view of the camera is interfered with direct light.
Visibility is poor due to rain, snow, fog, haze, and other bad weather.
Visibility is poor due to exhaust gas, splashes, snow, or dust kicked up by vehicles in front of you.
The camera is obstructed by water, dust, small scratches, grease, dirt, wipers, frost, or snow on the windshield.
The road is wet.
In some situations, the radar system may fail to recognize obstacles, which may affect the performance of or even cause the unintended deactivation of Adaptive Cruise Control. Such situations include but are not limited to:
Radars are misplaced, blocked, or covered with dirt, ice, snow, metal plates, tape, labels, leaves, or other obstructions.
Radars or the surrounding areas are damaged by collisions or scratches.
Heavy rain, snow, fog, and other extreme weather which may impair radar performance
False warnings may be generated by certain metal fences, median strips or concrete walls.
Adaptive Cruise Control will only respond to vehicles that meet certain conditions. Some targets may not be recognized or responded to, including but not limited to:
Vehicles crossing perpendicular to your vehicle
Oncoming vehicles
Bicycles, motorcycles, and tricycles
Some targets are not responded to, including but not limited to:
Pedestrians
Animals
Traffic lights
Walls
Barriers
Other non-vehicle objects
This feature does not guarantee the recognition of special-shaped targets, especially at night when the driver needs to pay extra attention, e.g. vehicles with a covered rear or irregularly-shaped rear, vehicles with a rear below a certain height, and unladen carriers.
This feature may miss stationary or slow-moving vehicles, especially at night when the driver needs to pay extra attention.
Recognition and response may be delayed if the target is not right in the front in some situations, including but not limited to:
Adaptive Cruise Control does not respond to targets that are in sensor blind spots. For example, Adaptive Cruise Control cannot detect targets in the blind spot at the corner or on the side of the vehicle.
When the vehicle is approaching or navigating a curve, the target may be incorrectly selected or missed, resulting in unintended acceleration or deceleration.
The target may be lost or the distance to the lead vehicle may be misjudged when the vehicle is on a slope. Driving downhill will increase the vehicle speed so as to exceed the cruise speed.
When only a part of the vehicle in the adjacent lane cuts in front of you (especially large vehicles such as buses and trucks), the target may not be identified and trigger a response. Therefore, you must immediately take over control.
When your vehicle suddenly cuts behind the lead vehicle, or when other vehicles abruptly cut in to or out of the lane in front of you, the target may not be promptly identified. Therefore, you must immediately take over control.
In rare cases, this feature may accelerate your vehicle even when it is not necessary or intended due to a change in, or loss of, the target (especially when cornering or changing lanes).
In rare cases, this feature may apply the vehicle's brakes when it is not necessary or intended due to the detection of vehicles or objects, or a change in, or loss of, a stationary target in the adjacent lane (especially when cornering or changing lanes).
When following the lead vehicle, if your vehicle or the lead vehicle switches out of the current lane, acceleration may be restricted by this feature for a certain period of time for your safety. You can take over by pressing the accelerator pedal.
This feature does not guarantee that the target can be accurately recognized in all situations. Please take over promptly if you find that the target lead vehicle shown on the digital instrument cluster does not match the actual situation. i.e.
A vehicle is in front of you, but the digital instrument cluster shows none.
No vehicle is in front of you, but the digital instrument cluster shows a vehicle.
We do not recommend using Adaptive Cruise Control in special or complex road conditions which may affect the performance of or even cause the unintended deactivation of Adaptive Cruise Control. Such conditions include but are not limited to:
Water, mud, potholes, snow, ice, speed bumps, or obstacles on the road.
Large numbers of pedestrians, bicycles, or animals on the road.
Complex and changing traffic flows, such as busy intersections, motorway ramps, and congested roads.
Winding roads and sharp turns.
Uphill or downhill roads.
Bumpy roads.
Narrow roads.
Tunnel entrances and exits.
Non-standard roads.
Roads without center medians.
Construction areas.
If the relative speed between your vehicle and the lead vehicle is too high, the limited control capabilities of Adaptive Cruise Control may be insufficient to promptly maintain the appropriate distance in some situations, Such situations include but are not limited to:
The front vehicle makes sudden moves (such as an abrupt turn, acceleration, or deceleration).
Other vehicles suddenly cut in or out of the lane in front of you.
Your vehicle suddenly cuts behind a vehicle in front.
Your vehicle rushes towards a stationary or slow-moving target at a high speed.
Braking force may not be sufficient in some situations, Such situations include but are not limited to:
The brakes do not fully function (such as when brake components are too cold, hot, or wet).
Improper maintenance (such as excessive brake or tire wear, or abnormal tire pressure).
Driving on special roads (such as sloping roads or roads with water, mud, potholes, snow, or ice).

Shiftless Automatic Parking Assist with Fusion (S-APA with Fusion) detects lines on the road or a parking space between two vehicles with surround view cameras and ultrasonic sensors to help you park.
S-APA with Fusion works for parallel and perpendicular parking, but not for angled or 3D parking.
If a surround view camera fault or abnormal calibration occurs, Shiftless Automatic Parking Assist can still be used, but the system can only identify parking spaces between two parked vehicles with ultrasonic sensors and cannot identify parking space line markings.
Do not use Shiftless Automatic Parking Assist on roads which are sloped or uneven.
The performance of Shiftless Automatic Parking Assist depends on the capabilities of the surround view camera and ultrasonic sensors to detect and identify the environment.
You should pay special attention to pedestrians, children, and animals near your vehicle, and other fine, pointed, low or suspended obstacles undetected by the ultrasonic sensors, such as parking locks, low stone blocks, low cylinders, thin rods, pointed objects, corners of walls, and square columns in parking lots, etc.
As a driving assist feature, Shiftless Automatic Parking Assist cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
You must always pay attention to traffic and road conditions, and make your own decision on whether to use Shiftless Automatic Parking Assist if it is safe.
You should always be ready to take over if you find that the conditions of the traffic, road or the vehicle are not suitable for Shiftless Automatic Parking Assist, or there are other unsafe factors. You always bear the ultimate responsibility for parking safely and complying with current traffic laws and regulations.
Shiftless Advanced Parking Assist with Fusion works as follows:
Search for a parking space: Go to the dual-view image interface and enable parking space search. Drive slowly forward at or below 18 km/h and stop the vehicle when the digital instrument cluster shows that a parking space is found. Brake the vehicle and select a safe and appropriate parking space.
Park the vehicle: After selecting a safe and appropriate parking space, start parking following the instructions on the screen. You need to continuously pay attention to your surroundings to ensure that the process is safe.
Complete parking. The dual-view image interface displays "Parking completed".
The detailed operation procedure is as follows:
Search for a parking space.
When searching for a parking space, the vehicle should meet the following conditions:
The speed is below 18 km/h.
The vehicle is in DRIVE.
All doors are closed.
The driver is seated.
Adaptive Cruise Control/Pilot is disabled.
The ultrasonic sensors and surround view cameras function normally with a clear view.
The system is operating properly.
Anti-Lock Braking System, Traction Control System, and Electronic Stability Program are not triggered.
Traction Control System and Electronic Stability Program are not disabled.
When the above conditions are met, you can enable parking space search in one of the following ways:
When the parking camera is not on, tell NOMI "I want to park" to go to the dual-view image interface and start parking space search.
Swipe right on the home page of the center display to open the Quick Access interface. Then, tap S-APA with Fusion to enter the dual-view image interface and start parking space search.
Tap Parking Camera to go to the 360° surround view interface, switch to the dual-view image interface, and tap
in the upper-left corner to start parking space search.
After starting parking space search, maintain a distance of 0.5-1.5 meters between your vehicle and the target parking space and drive forward at or below 18 km/h to search for a parking space.
When a white letter "P" is displayed on the left or right side of the My Vehicle icon during a parking space search, it indicates a parking space on the corresponding side has been found. If the white letter "P" appears on both sides of the icon, it indicates parking spaces have been found on both sides.
In this case, stop the vehicle and confirm that the parking space is safe and appropriate. If there are multiple parking spaces available, you can manually select one on the dual-view image interface.
After the vehicle starts searching a parking space, if you shift into REVERSE and backup the vehicle, it will continue searching.
When the vehicle's speed is above 18 km/h, the parking space search will be automatically canceled.
When searching for parking spaces, parking may not be successful if the vehicle's direction has significantly deviated from the direction of the road.
Parking spaces on narrow roads or spaces that are too narrow may not be selected due to a lack of space, such as parking spaces with columns, parking spaces with short parking distance, or narrow parking spaces.
You must always check and confirm if the detected parking space is safe and suitable for parking. Do not rely solely on Shiftless Automatic Parking Assist to search for suitable parking spaces. The system may misidentify parking spaces on roads, at entrances, in bushes, etc. You need to determine if the parking space is suitable. Shiftless Automatic Parking Assist cannot determine if the detected parking space is legal. You need to confirm if the space is permitted for parking before starting to park.
Park the vehicle
After a safe and appropriate parking space is selected, fasten your seat belt and release the steering wheel and the brake pedal as instructed to proceed to S-APA with Fusion. During the parking process, the interface displays the current gear and the remaining distance in the current gear for your reference. You need to continuously pay attention to your surroundings to ensure that the process is safe.
After a parking space is selected, tap the parking space again before releasing the brake pedal to deselect the current parking space.
When the vehicle is parked in the selected parking space, the letter "P" on one side of the My Vehicle icon will turn green on the digital instrument cluster.
When S-APA with Fusion is activated, the turn signal for the target parking space will be turned on.
Please only release the brake pedal when you receive the prompt “Release the brake pedal and the steering wheel” on the center display. Otherwise, Shiftless Automatic Parking Assist will cancel and the vehicle will move backwards.
Before releasing the brake pedal, make sure that your hands and arms do not interfere with the steering wheel to avoid any injuries caused by its rapid movement. When parking, always be prepared to apply the brakes to cancel the process or take over.
Parking in a narrow parking space may affect the performance of the sensors, which can increase the risk of damaging the vehicle or surrounding objects.
You are responsible for driving safely. Always pay attention to your surroundings when parking, ensure that the parking process is safe, and be prepared to take over at any time. In particular, you should pay special attention to pedestrians, children, or animals near your vehicle, and other fine, pointed, low, or suspended obstacles the ultrasonic sensors may not be able to detect.
The center display only shows available parking spaces that Shiftless Automatic Parking Assist is capable of parking in, which are subject to both the size of the parking space and its surroundings. If you spot any obstacles that suddenly appear around the car while parking, take over immediately as the system may not apply the brakes in time.
Complete parking
When the dual-view image interface reads "Parking completed", parking is completed and the letter "P" on one side of the icon of your vehicle in the instrument cluster will turn green.
After parking, you may need to make further adjustments to ensure that your vehicle is in the optimal parking position.

Keep the tires away from oil, grease or fuel.
Always store wheels in a cool, dry and dark place. Separate tires that are not on wheels should be stored upright.
Do not store summer tires or park a vehicle with summer tires in ambient temperatures below -15 °C.
Check the tread pattern for wear marks on a regular basis, especially before and after long drives. If the tire is worn down to 1.6mm or less, a wear mark will appear, by then the ground grip of the tire will be greatly reduced, and the tire will need to be replaced immediately to prevent the risk of an accident occurring.
Damage such as cuts, splits, and cracks down to the carcass, and bulges that indicate inner ply damage.
Frequently leaks, or irreparable damage due to the size or location of the cut or other damaged locations.
Punctures, bulges and damage to tire sidewalls.
Deformation or corrosion of tires caused by long-term parking.
If tire wear is uneven, we recommend that you contact NIO to have the tires checked for dynamic balancing.
New tires are in the run-in period during the first 500 kilometers. Running in at a moderate speed and with a careful driving style will prolong the service life of the tires.
When passing a curb or similar sections of road, keep the wheels perpendicular to the curb as much as possible, and drive slowly.
Hard impacts of the tires against curbs or objects with sharp edges, such as rocks, or impacts against sharp edges can cause imperceptible tire damage that will add up in the future. Depending on the severity of the impact, it may damage the rim flange.
Turning too fast, over acceleration and hard braking will increase tire wear.
New tires, after they are replaced, must undergo a dynamic balance check.
If the vehicle cannot remain straight or keeps deviating while driving, please go to the NIO Service Center to check the wheel alignment parameters and make adjustments if necessary.
It is recommended to swap the front and rear tires every 10,000 km.
In cold environments, tire performance is reduced, grip is reduced and susceptibility to impact damage is increased. High performance tires may temporarily stiffen in cold weather, and a rolling noise may be heard for the first few kilometers before the tires warm up. To have your vehicle perform optimally, using winter tires in winter is recommended. Please choose the applicable winter tires or stud tires according to the national laws in your country.
It is recommended to install winter tires for your vehicle when the ambient temperature is below 7 °C. The driving performance of summer tires will be reduced at low temperatures, and the comfort will also be reduced. For example, there may be rattling noises caused by the tires when maneuvering on dry and slippery surfaces, or when accelerating out of corners.
Extremely cold temperatures below about -15 °C may cause permanent damage to summer tires.
Use winter tires of the same brand and tread pattern on all wheels to ensure safe maneuvering characteristics.

Regular cleaning and waxing can protect the vehicle exterior from damage from the external environment. The frequency of cleaning and waxing depends on the frequency of use, parking conditions (whether the vehicle is parked in a garage, under a tree, or in direct sunlight), and weather conditions.
Bird droppings, insect residues, tree resins, industrial emissions, tar spots, cinders, and other deposits on the body and roof will cause damage to the paint. Such corrosion intensifies at high temperatures and in strong sunlight. Therefore, a weekly cleaning may be necessary. Wet the stains with sufficient water and then remove them.
Do not wash the vehicle when it is in charging.
Please use specialized cleaners or conditioners when washing or waxing the vehicle. Pay attention to the expiry date before use and keep out of reach of children.
When cleaning the vehicle manually, use sufficient water to wet the vehicle exterior and rinse away as many stains as possible. Use a soft sponge, cloth, or soft brush to carefully clean the vehicle from top to bottom. Use cleaners to remove stubborn stains. When the sponge or cloth gets too dirty, replace it. After cleaning the vehicle, rinse it thoroughly with clean water and wipe it with a towel. After salt spreading in winter, clean the underside of the vehicle thoroughly.
In order to protect the environment, please clean the vehicle on a specialized cleaning platform. If such equipment is not available, please choose a proper place to clean the vehicle.
Do not wash the vehicle under direct sunlight as this may cause damage to the paint.
When washing the vehicle with a water hose in cold weather, do not spray water directly on the door handles, charge ports, doors and sunroof. Otherwise, these moving parts may freeze in place.
Do not use rough sponges or corrosive cleaners which may damage the paint.
Do not use water hotter than 60℃.
Do not use a dry cloth or sponge to clean the headlights. Clean them with water or car shampoo instead.
The vehicle can be cleaned in an automatic car wash, but the structure, filter, and the type of cleaners and conditioners of the car wash equipment will affect the exterior paint. If the body paint looks dull or scratched after a car wash, please inform the car wash operator immediately. If necessary, the car wash equipment should be replaced.
Before using an automatic car wash, the windows and sunroof should be closed, the auto wiper feature disabled, and the side mirrors folded. At the same time, the car wash operator should be notified that the vehicle is equipped with roof racks and a radio antenna.
Before washing the vehicle in an automatic car wash, enter the settings page from the left side of the control bar at the bottom of the center display and tap Driving > N.
When using a pressure washer, be sure to follow the operating instructions and maintain a sufficient distance from soft materials (such as rubber hoses or sound insulation materials).
Do not use round beam nozzles or rotary nozzles. Tires must not be cleaned with round beam nozzles. Even if used from a distance and for a short time, such a nozzle may cause damage to the tires.
Do not use a high pressure cleaner to clean the vehicle certification label.
High-quality wax protects the vehicle paint from environmental damage and even prevents minor scratches. When water drops no longer roll off smoothly from the clean body paint, use a layer of high-quality hard car wax on the body paint. If the vehicle is cleaned regularly with cleaners, we recommend you apply hard wax at least twice a year to protect the body paint.
Polishing is only necessary when the body paint surface has lost its gloss and cannot be restored by waxing. Do not polish plastic parts or parts with matte finish.
Wash wiper blades with lukewarm car shampoo. Do not use alcohol or cleaners that contain petroleum products.
Use glass cleaners to regularly clean the inside and outside of all windows.
Clean the inside of the rear windshield with a soft cloth by wiping transversely. Do not scrape the glass or use abrasive cleaners to avoid damaging the heating element.
Clean the side mirrors with car shampoo. Do not use abrasive cleaners to avoid damaging the mirrors.
Clean the plastic parts with common cleaning methods. For stubborn stains, only use specialized solvent-free plastic cleaners to avoid corrosion.
You can clean the chrome parts with a wet cloth first and then wipe them with a soft dry cloth. For a better effect, use chrome conditioners to clean the chrome parts. When using chrome conditioners, be sure to apply the products completely and evenly. Do not clean or wipe the chrome parts in dusty or sandy environments.
To keep the aluminum alloy wheels in good condition, the wheels require regular maintenance. We recommend you clean them thoroughly once every two weeks to prevent abrasive particles, dirt, or salt particles from attaching to and corroding the wheels. After cleaning, treat the aluminum alloy wheels with specialized acid-free and alkali-free cleaners. Apply hard wax on the wheels once every three months. If the protective paint layer is damaged due to impact, such as from a stone, be sure to retouch the paint immediately. Do not use paint polish or other polishing materials.
Serious stains on the wheels can cause imbalance of the wheels. This will result in wheel vibrations, which will be transmitted to the steering wheel. In some cases, this can cause premature wear on the steering mechanism. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly clean stains on the wheels.
The underbody of the vehicle is specially treated to protect against chemical and mechanical damage. However, damage to the protective layer during driving is inevitable. We recommend check the underbody and the protective layer before winter and in spring on a regular basis and repair it when necessary.
Be careful not to contaminate or damage the sensors on the front/rear bumpers during maintenance.
After using the sunroof in a heavily polluted area for a period of time, please check the sunroof and have it maintained regularly. Fully open the sunroof glass panel and check for any impurities or dirt in the drainage trays of the rails of both sides. You can use a clean soft cloth or brush to gently wipe away any impurities or dirt in the drainage trays of the sunroof rails and add an appropriate amount of lubricant if necessary.
Tilt the sunroof and clean any impurities or dirt in the drainage trays of the rails at the rear part of the sunroof. We recommend you check for and remove any impurities or dirt in the sunroof rails once a month to avoid jamming the drainage holes, which can result in leaks.
If you park your vehicle under trees, please regularly check for and remove any foreign matter on the roof to avoid objects from entering the sunroof rails, jamming the drainage holes, and causing leaks.
Regularly clean the interior with cleaners or conditioners to maintain the interior appearance. Before using any cleaners, vacuum the interior first.
Some dyes (such as from dark-washed jeans or sheepskin clothing) may stain the interior materials. When this happens, clean the stained surface as soon as possible.
Do not use strong solvents such as cleaning fluids, petrol or petroleum solvents which may damage the interior materials.
Do not spray cleaners directly on electronic buttons, switches or parts. Wipe stains with a soft cloth dampened with cleaning fluid.
Sharp objects may damage the fabric interior.
Only use specialized cleaners, dry foam, and a soft brush to clean the fabric materials on the doors, rear trunk, roof, and other areas.
You can use a slightly wet cotton or woolen cloth, or a cleaning cloth to clean common dirt on the leather interior. You can use a cloth dipped in mild car shampoo to clean stubborn oil stains. Make sure that the leather material is not fully wet and prevent water from seeping through the stitching. Any remaining water on the leather surface should be quickly wiped off with a soft dry cloth. Stains from ballpoint pens, ink, lipsticks, shoe polish, and other substances on leather surfaces should be removed as soon as possible. We recommend you use a 100% pure polyurethane foam sponge for cleaning Nappa leather.
We recommend limiting the use of leather care products as much as possible, no more than twice a year for light-colored leather and no more than once a year for dark-colored leather.
Do not use cleaning solvents to clean the instrument panel, air bag covers, or leather interior.
To avoid leather fading, do not leave the vehicle under strong sunlight for long periods of time. If you need to park the vehicle under strong sunlight, please cover all leather material.
Sharp objects on clothes such as zips, rivets, and sharp buckles may leave marks or dents on the leather.
Avoid drinking coffee or using sunscreen in vehicles with a Nappa leather interior. Remove coffee or sunscreen stains on Nappa leather with mild soapy water as soon as possible.
Do not spray formaldehyde cleaners on leather. Doing so may leave white spots on genuine leather which are difficult to remove.
Only use mild car shampoo to clean the seat belts. Do not remove the seat belts from the vehicle. Allow the belts to dry fully while extended.

All high voltage connectors and high voltage cables are typically colored orange for easy identification. People who are not professional technicians should not disassemble or replace high voltage components to avoid the risk of electric shock.
ES8 is equipped with a floor-mounted 350 volt lithium-ion high voltage battery. Never breach the high voltage battery when lifting from under the vehicle. When using rescue tools, pay special attention to ensure that you do not breach the floor pan.
Before servicing or disassembling a high voltage component, you must power off the system. Make sure both the emergency switch and the 12V battery are cut off. After powering off the vehicle, put the vehicle standstill for at least five minutes before carrying out any operation.
As the voltage of the battery pack bus reaches about 400V, in the process of removing and installing high-voltage components, it is necessary to obtain the qualification of low-voltage electrician; the operator must wear high-voltage insulating gloves and take other insulation protective measures without carrying any metal objects.
The driving system powers the vehicle by converting the direct current from the high voltage battery into mechanical torque which is distributed to the four wheels. In addition, it can also recover kinetic energy to charge the high voltage battery and operate in reverse to turn the drive shafts backward. The driving system consists of two driving motors. The front motor is mounted on the front subframe, and the rear motor is mounted on the rear subframe.
The 12 voltage battery operates the SRS, airbags, windows, door locks, touchscreen, and interior and exterior lights. The high voltage system charges the 12 voltage battery, and the 12 voltage battery supplies power to the high voltage contactors, allowing high voltage current to flow into and out of the high voltage battery.
The 12V battery is located behind the trim panel on the left of the trunk.
The airbag system includes front airbags and side airbags. The front airbags include front head airbags that are located in the steering wheel and on the headliner of the passenger side. The side airbags include front side airbags (located on the outside of the front seats) and curtain airbags (located on the headliner from the A pillar to C pillar on both sides). The locations of the airbags are labeled “AIRBAG”.
Both front and second row outboard seats as well as third row seats feature seat belts with pretensioners and force limiters (dual-stage for the front seats). The pretensioners rapidly retract and latch seat belts the instant a severe collision occurs, thereby providing increased protection to occupants. The force limiter can then prevent the seat belt from exerting too much force on the occupant and minimize belt-inflicted injury.
The high-pressure air tank is mounted at the rear of the vehicle body using a rubber-wrapped bracket. The air tank generates sufficient air for the suspension system. Nominal pressure: 0-15 bar The ride height is adjusted by adjusting the air pressure of the system.

Using underinflated or overinflated tires will increase the risk of accident and injury.
To ensure your safety while driving, please check the tire pressure regularly. When checking the tire pressure, make sure the tires are cold (the tire temperature is the same as the ambient temperature or the vehicle has not been moved for three hours after driving). The recommended cold tire inflation pressure label is located on the frame of the driver’s side door. If the tire is hot, the tire pressure is generally 0.3 bar higher than that of a cold tire.
Overinflation will affect your comfort while driving, damage tires, especially on rough roads, and cause blowouts in severe cases. This may lead to unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury. Underinflation will cause uneven tire wear, affect the vehicle handling, and result in abnormal energy consumption.
Since the 21 \22-inch tires of the vehicle are self-repairing tires, the vehicle can still continue to run within a certain speed range (below 120 km/h) when the puncture width is less than 5 mm and the center display shows that the tire pressure is normal. However, self-repairing tires are not a long-term solution. If you notice any obvious tire leaks, punctures or serious damage, please contact NIO Service Center immediately for tire inspection or replacement.
Park the vehicle on a safe road, put on the reflective vest and set up the warning triangle properly.
Open the emergency kit cover in the trunk to take out the tire inflator.
Connect the inflation hose on the side of the tire inflater to the valve stem on the tire.
Connect the power plug of the tire inflater to the 12V power socket in the vehicle.
Make sure the vehicle is powered on, turn on the power switch of the tire inflater, and inflate the tire. When the tire pressure reaches 2.6 bar, turn off the tire inflater manually and disconnect it from the power socket.
If the tire is overinflated, press the pressure relief valve on the inflater.
After completing inflation, disconnect the inflater from the vehicle and stow it in the emergency kit.
ES8 is equipped with a direct tire pressure monitoring system. If the pressure or temperature of one or more tires is abnormal, the tire pressure warning indicator
will light up on the digital instrument cluster along with the location of the faulty tire, alerting you to stop as soon as possible and check the tires, and to inflate/deflate the tires to the correct air pressure.
In the event of abnormal tire pressure or rapid air leakage, the tire pressure warning indicator
will light up along with a “Beep” tone, alerting you to check the tires; if the Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring System (dTPMS) fails or the tire temperature exceeds the safe value, the tire pressure warning indicator
will flash for 75 seconds and then stay on, along with a “Beep” tone. In this case, please stop the vehicle as soon as possible and contact the NIO Service Center immediately.
You can tap My ES8 > Health on the main page of the center display to check the current tire pressure detected by the Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring System (dTPMS). If it shows that the current tire pressure is “--”, it means that no valid tire pressure value has been obtained. In such a case, drive at a speed above 25 km/h for 10 minutes and check again. If the tire pressure is too low, the tire is overheated or the Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring System (dTPMS) fails, the corresponding tire will be highlighted along with the specific fault information.
The tire pressure monitoring system is based on tire temperature and atmospheric temperature. It may be necessary to inflate the tire to achieve a slightly higher pressure in order to clear the low tire pressure message.
If radio transmitting devices (e.g., wireless headsets, walkie-talkies) are used in or near the vehicle, the operation of the Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring System (dTPMS) may be subject to interference.
Improper tire chains can damage the tires, wheels, and brake system of the vehicle. Please carefully check the specifications of the original equipment (OE) tires and the relevant instructions provided by the tire chain manufacturer. Only the 20-inch original equipment (OE) tires are suitable for tire chains. Tires chains are not recommended on other tires.
We recommend Maggigroup TRAK SUV 4X4 and Konig K-Summit XXL size K67 for ES8.
Do not drive over 50 km/h or the speed limit specified by the tire chain manufacturer (whichever is lower).
Drive carefully and slowly to avoid bumps, potholes, sharp turns, or wheel lock-up, which may impair the functionality of or cause damage to the vehicle.
To avoid tire damage and excessive tread wear, tire chains must be removed when driving on roads without snow.

Do not drive with a punctured tire, as it may lead to a tire blowout and endanger your safety.
Tire sealant can irritate the eyes and skin. Keep out of reach of children. When using tire sealant, ignition, open flames, and smoking are prohibited.
If the tire sealant gets on the skin or in the eyes, rinse the affected part of the body off i immediately and thoroughly with plenty of water. Change soiled clothing immediately. Get medical attention immediately in the event of an allergic reaction. If sealant was swallowed, thoroughly rinse out the mouth without delay and drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting.
Before using tire sealant, please check the expiry date marked on the tire sealant tank to ensure that it is used before its expiry date.
When the puncture width of a 20-inch tire is less than 6 mm, it is recommended to take out the puncturing object and repair the tire. If the puncture width is greater than 6 mm or the tire is even more seriously damaged, please do not continue to drive, and contact the NIO Service Center in a timely manner to replace the tire.
If the tire is repaired while the puncturing object is not taken out, the tire can make abnormal noises while driving after the repair, and air leakage may occur during long-distance driving.
If self-repairing tires or silent cotton tires are used, it is not recommended to repair tires with tire sealant. Please contact the NIO Service Center.
If the tires used on the vehicle are self-repairing tires, the vehicle can still continue to run within a certain speed range (below 120 km/h) when the puncture width is less than 5 mm and the center display shows that the tire pressure is normal. However, self-repairing tires cannot be used as permanent tire repair measures. If any tire is found to have a nail in it or is seriously damaged, please contact the NIO Service Center in a timely manner for tire inspection or replacement.
When repairing, please try to orient the tire so that the punctured spot is at the top of the tire.
Tire sealant can only be used to repair the tread area.
Park the vehicle on a safe road and set up the warning triangle in an appropriate location.
Open the emergency kit in the trunk and take out the tire sealant canister and the tire inflator.
Remove the speed limit label from the tire sealant canister and place it on the steering wheel to remind yourself not to drive over 80 km/h.
Connect the tire sealant canister to the wheels, remove the tire valve cap, and connect the tire sealant hose to the valve (1). Take out the inflation hose on the side of the tire inflator and connect it to the tire sealant canister inlet valve (2). Turn the tire sealant canister upside down and slide it into the slot on the tire inflator (3).
Connect the power plug of the tire inflator to the 12V power socket in the vehicle.
Make sure the vehicle is powered on, turn on the tire inflator and start to inject tire sealant into the tire. Observe the pressure gauge, and turn it off when the pointer reaches ≥2.2 bar (which will take around five to 10 minutes). Turn off the tire inflator and disconnect the power plug from the 12V power socket.
When the tire inflater begins operating, the pressure gauge will initially display a high pressure up to six bar, after which the pressure will drop to a normal range.
Remove the inflation hose of the tire inflator from the tire valve and stow it in the emergency kit.
Drive the vehicle 3 to 10 km (or about five to ten minutes) at under 80 km/h to evenly spread the tire sealant and plug the puncture.
Park the vehicle on a safe road, set up the warning triangle, and check the tire pressure readings on the center display. Continue driving if the tire pressure is ≥2.2 bar. Inflate the tire to ≥2.2 bar if the tire is under-inflated and drive the vehicle at a speed no higher than 80 km/h for 3 to 10 km (or around 5 to ten minutes). Check the tire pressure again. If the tire pressure is still below 2.2 bar which means the tire is severely damaged or the tire sealant cannot seal the tire, park the vehicle in a safe place and contact NIO immediately.
If the tire pressure gauge is unable to reach the designated zone within 12 minutes after repair, the tire is severely damaged. Please stop driving the vehicle, and contact NIO.
Tire sealant is only a temporary solution for emergencies and the vehicle can be driven for up to 200 kilometers at most. Please take the vehicle to the nearest repair shop for tire repair or replacement.
After fixing a tire with the tire sealant, please contact NIO to have the tire inflator hose assembly replaced.
When the vehicle cannot start because the 12V battery is drained, you can jump start the vehicle by connecting the jumper cables to the 12V battery of another vehicle.
When jump starting a vehicle, make sure the two vehicles are not in contact with each other. Otherwise, the current generated when the positive terminals of the two vehicles are connected will damage the vehicle.
Connect the positive terminals first, and then the negative terminals.
To avoid short circuits or other damage, we recommend you observe the following procedure when you jump start the vehicle:
Put the vehicle in PARK, cut off the power supply of the 12V battery, make sure the jumper cables are correctly connected to the vehicle electrical system, and remove the cover of the 12V battery on Vehicle A.
Connect one end of the red cable to the positive (+) terminal on the 12V battery on Vehicle A.
Remove the cover of the 12V battery on Vehicle B and connect the other end of the red cable to the positive (+) terminal on the 12V battery of Vehicle B.
Connect one end of the black cable to the negative (-) terminal on the 12V battery of Vehicle B.
Connect the other end of the black cable to a proper earthing point of the 12V battery on Vehicle A.
Start Vehicle B and let it run for a few minutes. Then, start Vehicle A to check whether it can start up normally.
After Vehicle A starts up normally, power off Vehicle B, remove the jumper cables in the opposite order they were connected, and stow all equipment.

The first aid kit is valid for 5 years. After expiration, please contact NIO to purchase another one.
When the vehicle is subject to a severe air leakage that cannot be repaired urgently with the tire sealant, park the vehicle on a flat and solid road and put it in Park, stay away from busy and congested roads, then put on your reflective vest and place the warning triangle, turn on the hazard warning lights, then contact NIO Service Center for a tire replacement.
When replacing a tire, the new tire must comply with the specifications of the original one. Using a tire with different specifications may affect the vehicle’s handling and result in a loss of vehicle control.
Never get underneath the vehicle when it is lifted on a jack as this may cause severe injury or even death.
Do not lift the vehicle when people are inside.
The vehicle can only be lifted at specified lift points on the vehicle's underside.
Do not place any object above or underneath the jack when it is lifting the vehicle.
Never use a jack to lift the vehicle on an uphill or downhill slope or on a roadway that slopes to one side.
Jacks should only be used to raise vehicles when changing tires.
Have a jack and a spare tire of the right specification ready for the tire replacement.
Place a block in front of the tire diagonally to the flat tire to prevent the vehicle from sliding.
Go to the Settings page from the leftmost side of the control bar at the bottom of the center display, and tap Driving > Jack Mode, and now the current vehicle suspension height can be locked to avoid any changes in the body suspension height during the tire replacement process.
Tire rims have a special protective coating. When removing or installing lug nuts, tires or rims, take reasonable precautions to protect the rim’s surface from accidental scratches caused by hard or sharp objects.
Place the jack below the correct jacking spot on the vehicle.
Make sure the jack is positioned correctly under the jack point. Failure to do so may damage the vehicle, or the vehicle may slip off the jack and cause injury.
Jack the vehicle up to a tire changing height. As the jack touches the vehicle and jacks it up, double check to make sure that the jack is in the correct position.
Remove the wheel nuts and replace the tire. When installing the wheel, make sure the nuts are aligned with the mounting holes, and that the metal side of the wheel is properly activated with the mounting surface.
After installing the wheel nuts, lower the vehicle completely to the ground (use a jack to lower the vehicle and exit jack mode on the center display), then use a wrench to tighten all the nuts clockwise, and then use a torque wrench to tighten the vehicle nuts to the specified torque value.
Check the tire pressure after the tire is replaced, inflate to the specified tire pressure if necessary, then install the tire valve cap.
Put the tools, jack, and the flat tires away in a secure manner.
The E-powertrain system of the vehicle is driven by the high voltage battery, which may cause high voltage electricity leakage or battery fluid leakage in the event of a serious collision accident. Therefore, the vehicle shall be rescued by professional rescue personnel and they shall wear the corresponding protective equipment to ensure their personal safety during rescue operations.
Remove all metal objects (such necklaces and watches) before carrying out any operation. Failure to do so may increase the risk of electric shock.

Install the tow chain on the hitch and slowly tow the vehicle onto the flatbed.
After the vehicle is towed to the designated location on the flatbed, use brake stops and wheel straps to fix the tires.
Before using a flatbed truck to transport your vehicle, exit the "N" Mode on the center display, then tap Driving > Jack Mode. Now the current vehicle suspension height can be locked to avoid damage caused by bumps during transportation.
Only when there is no safety risk to the vehicle can it be towed away from the site. If the vehicle battery pack is deformed, leaking liquid, or emitting smoke, safety risks shall be eliminated first.
If you are unable to enter the Trailer/Wash Mode normally, you can try restarting the 12V battery. If the parking brake cannot be released, the vehicle can be transported in as short a distance as possible by using tire slides or wheeled trailers.
Do not depress the brake pedal or accelerator pedal hard while exiting the Trailer/Wash Mode on the center display.
When the parking brake is released and the vehicle can be towed, there is a risk that the vehicle may slide down on a slope. If necessary, please use brake wedges in conjunction with the parking brake.
It is recommended not to stay in deep water (preferably not exceeding the battery base plate) for a long time when the vehicle is wading. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the high-voltage components of the vehicle.
If the vehicle body and chassis are not damaged, the vehicle will not experience a greater risk of electric shock due to short-term immersion in water. However, professional rescue personnel shall wear appropriate rescue protective equipment when dealing with immersed vehicles. On the premise of ensuring insulation protection, pull the vehicle out of the water, open the door, power off the vehicle, and then clean the water stains inside the vehicle. After checking for an electricity leakage, cut off the high voltage circuit in a normal manner.
When dealing with flooded vehicles, if rescue personnel do not wear appropriate protective rescue equipment, serious injury or even death can occur as a result.
In the case of a vehicle fire, do not directly touch any part of the vehicle. All rescue operations should be performed by professionals who must wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
The gas stored in the side curtain airbag cylinder and the high pressure air suspension tank may expand and explode under high temperatures. Please act with caution to avoid injury.
If the vehicle fire doesn't involve the high voltage battery, you can use the fire extinguisher to put out the fire.
If the vehicle fire is caused by the high voltage battery or the high voltage battery is overheated, deformed, cracked, or damaged in the fire, use a large amount of water or foam extinguishing agent mixed with water (F-500 EA is recommended) to cool down the high voltage battery. After the battery is completely cooled down (which may take up to 24 hours), monitor it for one more hour to ensure the battery does not heat up again. Then, drive the vehicle to an open and flat area and set up a 15-meter safety zone to keep people away from the vehicle.
Be aware that a high voltage battery may re-ignite even after it is cooled down. Particular attention should be paid when transporting the battery.
If leakage from a high voltage battery is caused due to an impact, the rescue should be performed by professionals who must wear protective face shields and chemical-resistant gloves. Never make direct contact with the fluids.
When a small amount of leakage occurs, use a suction pad to absorb the leakage and place it in a closed container, or dispose of it by incineration.
When a large amount of leakage occurs, please handle the leaked liquid as hazardous chemicals by spraying calcium gluconate solution onto it.
If any fluids accidentally get on the skin, remove the contaminated clothes, and rinse the skin with soap under running water for 15 minutes until all chemical residues are removed. Seek medical attention immediately if the irritation or discomfort doesn’t improve.
When professional rescuers perform cutting operations, they must use appropriate tools such as a hydraulic cutter and wear appropriate personal protective equipment to avoid serious injury.
The vehicle columns are reinforced with cast aluminum alloy to protect the safety of the driver and passengers. If cutting is required during rescue, appropriate tools should be used. The high-voltage and high-pressure areas of the vehicle shall not be cut, such as airbag-related components, high-voltage components, etc., as shown by the red areas in the figure below.
