MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS TO YOUR VEHICLE

Karma Automotive recommends having
maintenance and repairs for your Karma
performed by an authorized Karma Service
Provider.

To locate your nearest authorized Karma
Service Provider, go to
www.karmaautomotive.com or contact
Karma Consumer Affairs.

BODY REPAIRS

If you're involved in a collision, you want
your vehicle to be returned to its
pre-accident condition when repaired.
That's why it is important to make sure your
vehicle is repaired with only genuine Karma
Automotive parts.

Some repair shops and insurance
companies may suggest using non-original
equipment or salvaged parts to save
money. However, these parts may not
meet Karma's high standards for quality, fit
and corrosion resistance. In addition, non­original equipment and salvaged parts
(and any damage or failures they may
cause) are not covered by any Karma
warranty.

The best way to ensure that your vehicle is
repaired with genuine Karma Automotive
parts is to take it to a Karma Service
Provider. Each Service Provider works with
selected collision repair centers that meet
Karma's strict requirements for training,
equipment, quality, and customer
satisfaction. These repair centers use
genuine Karma Automotive parts
exclusively in the repair of Karma vehicles.

INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR VEHICLE

VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS

WARNING: The installation of non-

approved parts and accessories, or
the carrying out of non-approved
modifications, may be dangerous and
could affect the safety of the vehicle and
occupants, and also invalidate the terms
and conditions of the vehicle warranty.

WARNING: Karma Automotive will

not accept any liability for death,
personal injury or damage to property
which may occur as a direct result of non­approved modifications or the installation
of non-approved accessories.

If you have a disability which may require
modification to the vehicle, please contact
Karma Automotive before any
modifications are made.

QUALITY CONTROL

You may have noticed a few miles/kms on
the odometer when you took delivery of
your Revero. Some of these miles were a
result of the comprehensive process used
to ensure the quality of your Revero.

This process includes extensive inspections
during and after production. The final
inspection takes place at the selling
Retailer and includes a road test
conducted by a trained Karma Automotive
Technician.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

WARNING: Certain vehicle

components contain or emit
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. In addition, certain
fluids contained in vehicles and certain by­products of component wear contain or
emit chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.

CALIFORNIA PERCHLORATE ADVISORY

WARNING: Certain components of

this vehicle such as air bag modules,
seat belt pre-tensioners and Lithium
batteries may contain Perchlorate
Material. Special handling may apply for
service or vehicle end of life disposal. See
http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/
perchlorate.

DATA RECO R DI N G

SERVICE DATA RECORDING

Service data recorders in your vehicle are
capable of collecting and storing diagnostic
information about your vehicle. This
potentially includes information about the
performance or status of various systems
and modules in the vehicle such as engine,
throttle, steering or brakes. In order to
properly diagnose and service your vehicle,
Karma Automotive and its authorized
service facilities may access vehicle
diagnostic information through a direct
connection to your vehicle.

EVENT DATA RECORDING

This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data
Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an
EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such data (as an air
bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle),
will assist in understanding how a vehicle's
systems performed. The EDR is designed to
record data related to vehicle dynamics
and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:

• How various systems in your vehicle
were operating.

• Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened.

• How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal.

• How fast the vehicle was traveling.

9

INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR VEHICLE

• Where the driver was positioning the
steering wheel.

This data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.

Note: EDR data is recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data is recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash
location) is recorded. However, other
parties, such as law enforcement, could
combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to
the vehicle manufacturer, other parties,
such as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to the
vehicle or the EDR.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE

Locking and Unlocking the Vehicle

ABOUT THE KEY FOB

The vehicle security system, door locks, and
ignition are controlled by the key fob. The
doors and trunk can be either locked or
unlocked using the key fob. The key fob is
part of the immobilizer system. It operates
in the manner described below.

Passive entry to the vehicle is allowed when
you activate the exterior door handle
switch and you have a registered key on
your person (in your pocket or in your
purse). You can configure the setting to
unlock the driver's door or all doors through
the Central Infotainment Unit (CIU).

The doors can be programmed to use the
Passive Lock feature. When the vehicle is in
Park [P], press the exterior door handle
switch before closing the door. After the
door closes, the doors will lock
automatically and the park lights will flash,
indicating successful activation of the
security system.

The key fob can also be used to activate the
remote pre-conditioning feature.

You have been supplied with two key fobs
which also have an emergency key blade.

OBTAINING REPLACEMENT KEYS A ND KEY FOBS

If you lose a key fob or an emergency key
blade, contact your local Karma Service
Provider to obtain a replacement.

When ordering a new key fob, bring all
available key fobs for the vehicle to your

Karma Service Provider to allow the
system to be reprogrammed. If a key fob or
the key number is not available, your
Karma Service Provider can obtain the key
code from a restricted access database.

USING THE KEY FOB

WARNING: Always remove the key
fob from the vehicle any time you exit

and walk away from the vehicle.

CAUTION: Remove all key fobs from

the vehicle when it is left unattended.
This will ensure the vehicle is left in a secure
condition.

The buttons on the key fob operate as
follows:

1. Key Fob Lock:

• Press once to lock the vehicle and

activate the vehicle's security system.
The vehicle's lights will briefly flash to
confirm the security system is active.

Passive Lock:

• When exiting the vehicle, press the
switch on the exterior door handle,
close the door. All doors should lock
and the parking lights should flash
once, indicating the security system is
active.

• Press once, then press and hold the
lock button for two seconds to
activate the remote pre-conditioning
feature. The lights will flash twice; one
short and one long, to signal
successful activation.

3. Trunk

• Press and hold the trunk release

button for 3 seconds to unlock the
trunk.

preferences via the touchscreen.

The buttons on the key fob transmit a
coded radio signal to a receiver in your
Revero. It is not necessary to point the key
fob at your vehicle, but you must be within
operating range. The operating range will
vary according to the condition of the key
fob battery and other physical factors.

If the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked
using the buttons on the key fob, you may
need to change the key fob battery.

Note: Interference from other radio
equipment operating on a similar
frequency may also affect the operation of
the key fob. If this happens, operate the key
fob as close to your vehicle as possible. If
you are still unable to unlock your vehicle
with the key fob, use the manual door lock.

MEDICAL SAFETY

WARNING: Any person with an

implanted medical device should
ensure that the de vi ce is kept at a distance
of at least 8.7 inches (22 cm) away from
any transmitter mounted in the vehicle.
This is to avoid any possibility of
interference between the system and the
device. Interference may cause the
implanted medical device to malfunction,
causing serious injury or death.

Transmitters which detect the presence of
the key fob are located in the following
locations on your Revero:

1. Behind the touchscreen.

2. Beneath the center console.

3. Trunk - underside of the rear parcel

shelf.

WARNING: Children under 4ft 5in

(1.35 m) tall or younger than 12 years
of age must be secured in a suitable child
restraint. See

STEERING COLUMN POSITION

WARNING: Never adjust the steering

wheel position while the vehicle is in
motion. Doing so will reduce control of the
vehicle, and may cause unpredictable
steering movements.

To reduce the risk of injuries in the event of
an accident, observe the following:

• The driver and front passenger should
select a seat position that allows the
seat belt to be worn correctly, but is as
far away from the front air bags as
possible.

• Sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible
and the seatback reclined no more than
30 degrees.

• The position of the driver's seat must
allow the driver to drive the vehicle
safely. The distance from the driver's
seat to the pedals must be such that the
driver can fully depress the pedals. The
distance between the driver's chest and
the center of the air bag cover should,
ideally, be more than 10 inches
(254 mm). The driver's arms should be
slightly bent when holding the steering
wheel.

• Position the seatbelt so that it is mid­way between your neck and your
shoulder. Fit the strap tightly across
your hips, not across your stomach.

With the vehicle stationary, adjust the
steering column to the desired driving
position.

INTEGRATED HEADRESTS

The front and rear seats provide
integrated head restraints in the seatback.
The head restraints are not adjustable.

WARNING: To minimize the risk of

neck injuries in the event of a collision,
the driver and fr on t seat passeng er should
adjust the seatback inclination such that
the headrest is in an upright position.

ELECTRIC SEATS

WARNING: Do not adjust any part of

a seat while the vehicle is in motion.
Vehicle movement may cause the seat to
suddenly shift, potentially c ausing injury or
loss of control.

WARNING: To prevent possible

injury, ensure that rear passengers
cannot become tr apped as the seat mo v es.

WARNING: Sitting in a reclined

position when the vehicle is in motion
can be dangerous. Even when buckled up,
the seat belts cannot do their job. The
shoulder belt will not be against your body.
Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash,
you could go into it, receiving neck or other
injuries. The lap belt could go up over your
abdomen and cause serious internal
injuries. For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the seatback
upright. Sit well back in the seat and wear
the seat belt properly.

SEAT HE AT ER S

The seat heaters can be operated only
when the vehicle is in Drive mode. The seat
heaters will maintain a pre-determined
temperature according to the level
selected.

WARNING: If you cannot feel

temperature change or pain to the

reduce the risk of burns, people with such a
condition should use care when using the
seat heater, especially for long periods of
time. Do not place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat, such as a
blanket, cushion, cover, or similar item. This
may cause the seat heater to ov erheat. An
overheated seat heater may cause a burn
or may damage the seat.

The seats can be heated at three different
heat levels.

heat level. Three indicators will
illuminate.

lowest heat level. A single indicator will
illuminate.

• Press a fourth time to turn off the
heaters.

Switching off the vehicle will automatically
turn off the seat heaters.
