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.

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.

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.

3. Trunk
Press and hold the trunk release
button for 3 seconds to unlock the trunk.
Note: The lock and unlock settings for your Revero can be configured to your personal 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 page 34
“Child Restraints” on
.

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.
27
SEATS AND STEERING COLUMN

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 BELTS
Seat Belts

ABOUT SEAT BELTS

WARNING: Seat belts should be
worn by all occupants, for every journey no matter how short. Failure to do so greatly increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
Seat belts and child restraint systems are the most effective means of restraining vehicle occupants from impact forces, which, in turn, minimizes the danger of injury from interior impacts and the effects of whiplash. Therefore wearing a seat belt is required by law in most states.
Both the driver and passenger seating positions are equipped with three-point inertia reel seat belts. Inertia reel belts are tensioned automatically and allow freedom of movement during normal driving conditions.
The belt reel automatically locks, preventing movement of occupants, whenever your vehicle experiences the force associated with hard acceleration, braking, cornering or on impact in a collision. The reel may also lock when driving on steep hills or slopes.
Each of the Revero’s rear seating positions is equipped with an Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR), which can lock a child restraint system when the webbing is released after being completely pulled out. The Revero’s right front seating position is fitted with a cinch tongue which can be used to lock the lap belt portion of the seat belt assembly. Once the tongue is inserted into the buckle, the lap portion will be locked and cannot be extended by pulling the webbing. It does not require inverting, twisting or deforming of the webbing to make this locking feature operate.

SEAT BELT SAFETY

WARNING: Children under 4ft 5in
(1.35 m) tall or younger than 12 years of age must be secured in a suitable child restraint. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing child restraint systems.
WARNING: A seat belt which is not
worn, is worn incorrectly, or has not been engaged fully in the seat belt buckle, cannot perform its intended function. To avoid injuries, ensure that all vehicle occupants wear their seat belt correctly at all times.
WARNING: Seat belts are designed
to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the pelvis, over the shoulder and across the chest. Avoid wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area.
WARNING: Always adjust the belt to
remove slack. Seat belts worn too loose can result in injuries because they allow excessive forward movement in an accident. Never wear the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back.
WARNING: Do not route the belt
across sharp edged or fragile objects especially if t hese ar e on or in yo ur clo thing The seat belt could be damaged and you could be injured.
WARNING: Seat belts should not be
worn with any part of the strap twisted.
WARNING: Each belt assembly must
only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant’s lap.
WARNING: It is essential that seat
belts that have been worn in an accident are replaced, even if damage to the assembly is not obvious. The belt anchors must also be checked.
WARNING: No modifications or
additions should be made that prevent the seat belt mechanism from taking up slack, or that prevent the seat belt being adjusted to remov e slack. A slack belt greatly reduces the level of occupant protection.
WARNING: If any damage, wear,
cuts, defects, or impaired operation are noted with the seat belts, the vehicle should be taken to your Karma Service Provider for immediate attention. Do not
31
SEAT BELTS
use the vehicle if the seat belts cannot be operated correctly.
WARNING: Children can be seriously
injured or strangled if a shoulder belt is wrapped around their neck and the seat belt continues to tighten. Never leave children unattended in a vehicle and never allow children to play with the seat belt.

WEARING THE SEAT BELT

FASTENING THE SEAT BELT

1. Draw the belt out smoothly, ensuring
that the belt height, the seat position and your position on the seat are correct. The belt should lay flat across the pelvis, chest and mid-point of the collar bone between the neck and shoulder.
2. With the belt correctly positioned, place
the metal tongue into the buckle nearest to you. Press until a click is heard.

RELEASING THE BELT

WARNING: Never allow more than
one child to wear the same seat belt. A seat belt with two people in it cannot properly restrain and could cause injury.
Never allow a child to wear the seat belt with the shoulder belt behind their back. A child who is not wearing the belt properly can be seriously injured by the belt. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest.
Note: When releasing the belt, it is advisable to hold it near the buckle before pressing the release button. This will prevent the belt from retracting too quickly.
To release the seat belt, press the red button.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE FRONT SHOULDER BELT

WARNING: After adjustment,
release the adjustment button and then try to move the anchor point up or down to ensure it is locked into position.
The height of the shoulder belt should be adjusted so that the belt passes over the center of your shoulder. The belt should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder.
To adjust the height of the shoulder belt, press the adjustment button and move the shoulder belt anchor to the desired position. Release the button to lock the anchor in position.

WEARING SEAT BELTS WHEN PREGNANT

WARNING: Pregnant woman should
always wear seat belts to protect themselves and their unborn child.
WARNING: Never place anything
between you and the seat belt to cushion the impact in the event of an accident.
32
SEAT BELTS
The lap portion of the belt should be worn as low as possible across the hips, not the waist. Position the diagonal part of the belt between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen. Ensure that the seat belt is not slack or twisted.
If you have any concerns about wearing seat belts, contact your doctor.

SEAT BELT REMINDER

The driver’s seat belt includes a buckle sensor, to detect when the buckle is latched.
If the driver’s seat belt is not fastened, an indicator light on the DIS will illuminate.
In addition, if the seat belt is unfastened when the vehicle is in Drive mode and the vehicle’s is moving at a speed greater than 5mph (8 km/h), an audible chime will sound for 15 seconds as a belt reminder.

SEAT BELT TENSIONERS

WARNING: Once the seat belt
tensioners have been activated, they must be replaced. After any collision, always have the air bags, seat belt assembly and any associated components checked and, if necessary, replaced by a Karma Service Provider.
The seat belts are equipped with tensioners that activate in conjunction with the air bags and provide additional protection in the event of a severe frontal impact on your vehicle.
The tensioners automatically retract the seat belt, reducing any slack in both the lap and diagonal portions of the belts.
Following an accident in which the tensioners have been activated, the seat belts continue to function as restraints and must be worn if you drive your Revero.

CARING FOR SEAT BELTS

WARNING: Regularly check the
condition of all belts. Replace seat belts if you notice any damage to the belt webbing, fittings, retractor mechanisms or buckles.
Three tests for checking seat belts:
1. With the seat belt fastened, give the
webbing nearest the buckle a quick pull. The buckle should remain securely locked.
2. With the belt unfastened, unreel the
webbing to its limit. Check that unreeling is free from snags and visually check the webbing for wear. Allow the webbing to retract, checking that retraction is smooth and complete.
3. With the webbing half unreeled, hold
the tongue plate and pull forward quickly. The mechanism must lock automatically and prevent further unreeling.
33
SEAT BELTS
If a seat belt fails any of these tests, contact a Karma Service Provider immediately to have the seat belt inspected.
For seat belt cleaning information, see “Cleaning and Vehicle Care” on page 114.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

Child Restrain ts
CHILD RESTRAINTS
WARNING: Your Revero is equipped
with an air bag system that has no provision for switching off or deactivating the front passenger air bag.
WARNING: Extreme hazard! Rear
facing child safety seats should never be used in the front seat, or in the path of any frontal air bag. Doing so increases the risk of death or serious injury when the air bag deploys. The best place for a child is properly restrained in the rear seats.
WARNING: Do not use a forward
facing child seat until a child is abo ve the minimum weight of 20 lb. (9 kg) and able to sit up unaided. Up to the age of two, a child's spine and neck are not sufficiently developed to avoid injury in a frontal impact.
WARNING: Do not allow a baby or
infant to be held or carried on the lap. The force of a crash can increase effective body weight by as much as thirty times, making it impossible to hold onto the child. At all times, children should be restrained in age and size appropriate child seats to reduce the risk of injury in a crash.
The seat belts installed on your Revero are designed for adults and larger children. For their safety, it is very important that all infants and children under 12 are restrained in a suitable child safety seat appropriate to their age and size.
Only install a child seat that has been approved for use in your Revero, and ensure that the manufacturer's installation instructions are followed exactly. Consult a Karma Service Provider for a list of approved child seats.
Note: The legislation which governs how and where children should be carried when traveling in a vehicle is subject to change. It is the responsibility of the driver to comply with all current laws and regulations.

CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR SMALL CHILDREN AND BABIES

Child seats and restraint systems designed for your Revero will be one of two types:
Those secured in vehicle seats by the seat belts.
LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tether for Children) type child restraints, employing anchor bars built into the rear seat frame.
All new and most older type child restraint systems incorporate an upper tether strap which can be attached to an anchorage point on the vehicle.

CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR LARGER CHILDREN

In a situation where a child is too large to fit into a child safety seat, but is still too small to safely fit the 3 point seat belt properly, a booster seat is recommended for maximum safety. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions exactly, then adjust the seat belt to suit.
Children typically require the use of a booster seat appropriate to their age and size, thereby enabling the seat belts to be properly worn, reducing the risk of injury in a crash.
35
CHILD RESTRAINTS

CHOOSING A CHILD RESTRAINT

Any child under 4ft 5in (1.35 m) tall or younger than 12 years of age traveling in the vehicle must be secured in the appropriate safety restraint for their weight (see chart below). Contact a Karma Service Provider for advice.

20 to 40 lbs
(9 to 18 kg)
33 to 55 lbs (15 to 25 kg)
48 to 80 lbs
(22 to 36 kg)

USING A NON LATCH CHILD RESTRAINT

Carefully follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system.
Make sure that a child falls into the correct weight range for the seat. Avoid dressing a child in bulky clothing and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint system.
Always use the appropriate child restraints and adjust harnesses for every child, every trip.
Ensure that you have removed all slack from the vehicle’s seat belt.
Regularly check the fit of a child seat and replace seats or harnesses that show signs of wear.

USING A LATCH CHILD RESTRAINT

WARNING: If the restraint is not
correctly anchored, there is a significant risk of injury to the child in the event of a collision or emergency braking.
WARNING: Child restraint
anchorages are designed to withstand only loads imposed by correctly installed child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts, harnesses or for att aching other items to the vehicle. Doing so will greatly increase the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident.
Your Revero’s rear passenger seats are equipped with the LATCH child restraint anchorage system.
We recommend that you carefully follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer when installing your LATCH compatible child seats.
Lower LATCH anchorage points are located between the seat back rest and rear cushion on both sides of the vehicle as indicated by the child seat identification tab on the seat.
36
CHILD RESTRAINTS
To install your child seat with a LATCH restraint system, slide the child seat until it engages onto the anchor bars.
Test the security of the child seat, and ensure it is correctly latched before seating a child. Attempt to twist the child seat from side to side and to pull it away from the vehicle seat, then check that the anchors are still securely in place.

UPPER TETHER STRAP ANCHORAGES

WARNING: Always check the upper
tether strap for damage or wear and tear. A child could be seriously injured or killed in a sudden stop or collision if the child restraint upper tether strap is damaged or not functioning properly.
Upper tether anchorages are provided at each seating position equipped to accept LATCH child restraints.
Note: Always ensure that if an upper tether is provided, it is secured and tightened properly, as this provides maximum protection for a child.
Anchor points for the upper LATCH child restraints are located behind the rear seat headrests.
Note: Due to the restricted access in the rear of your Revero, the easiest way to actually view the upper anchorage point is by standing outside the vehicle and looking through the rear window.
With the rear door open, reach through the door and remove the protective cover located behind the headrest.
37
CHILD RESTRAINTS
Attach the tether strap hook to the tether anchor point.
Tighten the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer's instructions.

SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WARNING: Always remember that
the air bags are a Supplementary Restraint System providing additional protection in certain types of collision only
- they do not replace the need to wear a seat belt. To reduce the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash, all occupants in all seating positions should always wear their seat belt.
WARNING: Occupants not properly
restrained in designated seating positions are at high risk of death or serious injury in the event of air bag deployment.
WARNING: Do not use a child
restraint on a seat with an operational air bag in front of it. There is a risk of death or serious injury when the air bag deploys.
WARNING: Because airbags inflate
with great force and faster than the blink of an eye, anyone who is up against, or very close to any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Do not sit unnecessarily close to any airbag, as you would be if sitting on the edge of the seat or leaning forward. Safety belts help keep you in position before and during a crash. Always wear a safety belt, even with airbags. The driver should sit as far back as possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

WARNING: The air bags are a
Supplemental Restraint System providing additional protection in certain types of collisions only - they do not replace the need to wear a seat belt.
Operation of the air bag system depends on the rate at which your vehicle's passenger compartment changes speed as a result of a collision.
In the event of a collision, the air bag control unit monitors the rate of deceleration induced by the collision to determine whether the air bags should be deployed.
When deployed, air bags inflate instantly with considerable force and are accompanied by a loud noise. The inflated bag, together with the seat belt restraint system, limits the movement of the occupants, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the head and upper torso.
The air bag system is not designed to operate as a result of:
Rear collisions
Minor front impacts
Minor side impacts
Heavy braking
Driving over bumps or potholes
It follows, therefore, that significant superficial damage can occur without the air bags deploying or, conversely, that a relatively small amount of structural damage can cause the air bags to be deployed.

KNEE AIR BAGS

The knee air bags are designed to work in conjunction with the deployment of the front air bags. When deployed, the knee air bags limit the forward motion of the driver or front passenger by restricting leg movement, thereby positioning the occupant so that the front air bags work more effectively.

SIDE AIR BAGS

WARNING: Occupants should not
lean on or sleep against the door or side windows in seating positions with seat-mounted side impact airbags and/or roof-rail airbags
WARNING: Ensure that a gap is
maintained between the side of the vehicle and the torso, to enable unobstructed inflation of the seat­mounted side air bags.
WARNING: Do not use non-
approved seat covers or accessory seat covers on a front seat as these will prevent the side air bag from deploying correctly in an accident. If in doubt, consult a Karma Service Provider.
40
SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
Side air bags are designed to protect the thorax region of the torso and pelvis and will only deploy in the event of a severe side impact. They will not inflate as a result of frontal or rear impacts only. The air bags on the non-impacted side of the vehicle will not be deployed.

CURTAIN AIR BAGS

WARNING: For the curtain air bags
to deploy correctly, the roof lining and A post trim must be undamaged and correctly installed. Any damaged air bag component should be referred to a Karma Service Provider for inspection.
Curtain air bags are designed to protect the head in the event of a severe side impact. They will not inflate as a result of frontal or rear impacts alone.

DEPLOYMENT EFFECTS

WARNING: The powder released
during air bag deployment could cause short-term breathing difficulties for persons suffering from asthma or other respiratory conditions. To prevent breathing difficulties, leave the v ehicle as soon as possible if you are able or open a window.
WARNING: Inflation and deflation of
the air bags take place instantaneously and will not provide protection against the e ffects of sec ondary impacts that can occur during multiple vehicle collisions.
WARNING: A fter a n air bag has been
triggered, air bag parts are hot - do not touch them. Have the air bags replaced at a Karma Service Provider.
If the air bags are deployed, a bang will be heard and a small amount of fine powder may be released. The noise will not damage your hearing and the powder does not constitute a health hazard nor does it imply that a fire has broken out.
The Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) warning indicator will illuminate to
indicate that the system has been deployed.
Air bag deployment slows down and restricts the movement of the vehicle occupant reducing the load on the body. The air bags are in a de-pressurized state following an accident.

SAFETY FEATURES

Along with the deployment of the air bags, the following events will also occur to assist you and any recovery personnel:
The doors will unlock.
The hazard lights will switch on.
The interior lighting will switch on.
The fuel supply to the engine will be
switched off.
The high voltage supply will be switched off.
The HVAC system will be disabled.
The high voltage supply, the fuel supply to the engine, and the cooling system to the passenger compartment can be restored by switching the vehicle OFF, allowing it to go to "sleep," then entering Accessory Mode.

OBSTRUCTION OF AIR BAGS

WARNING: Do not allow passengers
to obstruct the operation of the air bags by placing parts of t hei r b ody, or any other objects in contact with, or in close proximity to, an air bag module.
WARNING: Do not attach or position
items on an air bag cover which could interfere with the inflation of the air bag or be propelled inside the vehicle and injure occupants.
41
SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

PASSENGER AIR BAG DEACTIVATION

WARNING: Your Revero is equipped
with an air bag system that has no provision for switching off or deactivating the front passenger air bag.
WARNING: Do not use seat
accessories that block the inflation path of a seat-mounted side impact airbag. Never secure anything to the roof of a vehicle with roof-rail airbags by routing a rope or tie-down through any door or window opening. If you do, the path of an inflating roof-rail airbag will be blocked.

AIR BAG WARNING LABELS

Air bag warning information is printed on the driver and passenger sun visors.
WARNING: Even with advanced air
bags children can be killed or seriously injured by the airbag. The back seat is the safest place for children. Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front. Always use seat belts and child restraints.

SRS WARNING INDICATOR

A warning indicator in the DIS alerts you of any malfunction of the air bag system.
The components of the system being monitored include:
SRS warning indicator
Clock spring
Air bag modules
Seat belt tensioners (front seat belts)
Air bag diagnostic control unit
Crash sensors
Air bag wiring harnesses
When the vehicle is in System Ready mode or Drive mode, the air bag control unit monitors the readiness of the system’s electrical circuits.
The SRS warning lamp should illuminate in the DIS for six seconds and then turn OFF, indicating the system is operational and ready. If the SRS warning lamp is illuminated, a fault has been detected and the air bag system is disabled.
Contact a Karma Service Provider if:
The warning indicator fails to illuminate when the vehicle is first put into Accessory or Drive mode.
The warning indicator fails to extinguish within approximately six seconds after the vehicle is put into Accessory or Drive mode.
The warning indicator illuminates while your Revero is being driven.
42
SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

AIR BAG SERVICE INFORMATION

WARNING: The disposal of used air
bag units is subject to stringent regulations, and should only be handled by a Karma Service Provider.
WARNING: If the airbag warning
light ever comes on and stays on, it means that something may be wrong with the airbag system. To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have the vehicle serviced right away.
For your safety, a Karma Service Provider, who is familiar with your Revero, must perform the following tasks:
Removal, replacement, repair, or modification, of any wiring or component in the vicinity of air bag system components, including the steering wheel, steering column, dashboard, DIS and roof lining.
Modification to the front or side of your Revero, including the bumper and chassis.
In addition, always seek the assistance of a Karma Service Provider if:
An air bag inflates.
A seat belt tensioner activates.
The front or side of your Revero is
damaged, even if the air bag has not inflated.
Any part of an air bag module cover shows signs of cracking or damage.

VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS

WARNING: Occupants with
disabilities which may require modification of the vehicle must contact a Karma Service Provider before any modifications are made.

CLIMATE CONTROL

OPERATING NOTES

Heating is provided by a high voltage electric heater and cooling is provided by a high voltage all-electric air conditioning system. Both of these systems are located under the hood.
In addition to cooling the passenger compartment, the air conditioning system also cools the high voltage battery coolant.
In high ambient temperatures, the air conditioning system may be activated even if you have manually switched it off on the touchscreen. This is normal, with priority being given to cooling the high voltage battery to ensure that cell temperatures stay within a range that supports long life and efficient performance.
For the climate control system to function efficiently, all windows should be closed, and the air intake vents free from ice, snow, leaves or other debris.
To reduce the time for the vehicle to reach a comfortable temperature during hot weather, drive with the windows slightly open for two to three minutes after start-up.
In very humid conditions, slight screen fogging may be experienced when the air conditioning system is turned on. This is a natural occurrence and will clear after a few seconds.
Surplus water produced by the dehumidifying process is drained beneath the vehicle. This may result in a small pool of water forming when the vehicle is stationary and is not a cause for concern.

SELECTING A PROPULSION MODE

With the vehicle in Drive mode, press the required button to select a mode.
Note: If the READY indicator light flashes when selecting a mode, a fault has been detected. Try selecting the mode again; if the fault persists, contact your Karma Service Provider.
P (Park)
With Park engaged, the propulsion unit is locked and the rear wheels cannot turn.
To select another mode when the vehicle is in Park, the vehicle must be in Drive mode and the brake pedal depressed.
Note: P (Park) is automatically engaged whenever a charging cable is connected to the charging port to prevent the vehicle being accidentally driven while still connected.
R (Reverse)
Selectable whenever the v ehicle is stationary or its forward speed is less than 30 mph (48 km/h).
N (Neutral)
Allows the vehicle to be stationary without the propulsion unit being locked.
To select another mode when the vehicle is in N (Neutral) and moving at a speed less than 5 mph (8 km/h), you must press the brake pedal. At speeds
75
76
STARTING AND DRIVING
above 30 mph (48 km/h) you can only select the drive mode suitable for the current direction of travel.
D (Drive)
Selectable whenever the vehicle is stationary or its speed is less than 30 mph (48 km/h) in reverse.
The DIS will show the currently selected mode and the button associated with the mode will also illuminate.
Note: Similar to a conventional automatic transmission, when you select D (Drive) or R (Reverse), the vehicle will move (creep) if you do not have the parking brake applied or the brake pedal depressed.

DRIVING MODES

Your Revero has three selectable drive modes: Stealth mode, Sport mode and Sustain mode. The currently selected drive mode is displayed on the DIS.
With the vehicle in Drive mode, the desired driving mode is selected using the selection paddles on the steering column.
Note: The vehicle will default to STEALTH mode if the electric range is greater than 0 miles. If the electric range is 0 miles, the vehicle will then default to SUSTAIN mode.
CAUTION: Do not drive through water
of an unknown depth. Besides being a possible safety hazard, driving through water deeper than 3 inches (7.5 cm) can cause internal combustion engine da mage due to water ingestion through the air intake system. If you do no t know the depth of water, do not drive through it. If possible place the vehicle in Stealth mode, shut the internal combustion engine off, this can help in prevent in water ingestion for any water crossing. If you are forced to enter standing/flowing water despite using best efforts to avoid it, drive very slowly (not to exceed 5 mph (8 kph) and do not stop in the water. If the internal combustion engine stalls in the water, do not attempt to restart it – have the vehicle towed out of the water and have the vehicle serviced to prevent any additional engine damage.

STEALTH, SPORT AND SUSTAIN MODES

In STEALTH driving mode, the vehicle is powered exclusively from the high voltage battery. When the charge level of the battery falls to approximately 15% (0 mile electric range), the vehicle will automatically switch to SUSTAIN driving mode.
In SPORT mode, the vehicle is powered by both the generator and high voltage battery. This provides more power to the traction drive motors and improves vehicle performance.
In SUSTAIN driving mode, the vehicle will use gasoline as the energy source, and sustain the charge level in the high voltage battery.
To change among STEALTH, SPORT and SUSTAIN driving modes, briefly pull the left-hand paddle towards you and release. Pull and release the paddle again to select the next available mode.

RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE

In the event when high a amount of wheel traction power is needed, such as climbing up a hill at highway speeds, if the vehicle displays a yellow hazard symbol or text of "restricted performance", the driver should enter SUSTAIN or SPORT MODE.
77
STARTING AND DRIVING

REGEN MODE

WARNING: It is recommended that
you do not use SPORT mode on surfaces covered in snow or ice as this could adversely affect vehicle handling.
REGEN mode simulates the engine braking you would experience on a traditional vehicle when descending a hill, and increases the amount of energy generated through regenerative braking when the brake pedal is not pressed.
REGEN mode has three different levels which simulate different levels of engine braking.
To select REGEN mode 1:
The vehicle defaults to REGEN mode 1. The vehicle will experience little resistance and the DIS will indicate REGEN 1 in the display.
To select REGEN mode 2:
Briefly pull and release the paddle to select the next available REGEN mode.
To select REGEN mode 3:
Briefly pull and release the paddle again. The vehicle will have an increased feeling of drag while coasting and the DIS will indicate REGEN 3 in the display.
The REGEN modes circle around from REGEN 1, REGEN 2 and REGEN 3; pulling and releasing the REGEN paddle will select the next available REGEN mode in the sequence.
Note: Holding the paddle does de-select the REGEN 2 or REGEN 3 selection and go back to REGEN 1.

BRAKES
Brakes

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING: Driving through heavy
rain or water can have an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under such circumstances, It is recommended that you lightly apply the brakes intermittently, to keep the brakes dry.
WARNING: Do not rest your foot on
the brake pedal while the vehicle is in motion unless you are applying the brake pedal.
Your R evero is eq uipp ed wi th an advan ced electro-hydraulic brake control unit that combines the vehicle’s conventional hydraulic brake system with its regenerative braking system to meet the requirements for slowing the vehicle.
The brake control module interprets the braking request and uses regenerative braking, conventional hydraulic braking or a combination of both as necessary.
Unlike conventional vehicles which have a vacuum operated brake servo to assist in the application of the brakes, A pump within the control unit pressurizes the brake fluid to apply the brakes. You may occasionally hear the pump when the system is operating. This is normal and not a cause for concern.
If the brake warning light illuminates while
by the message, ”Service Brakes,” stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and a have the cause investigated by your local Karma Service Provider.
In the event of a brake problem or a loss of vehicle power, the brake system can still be operated to bring the vehicle to a stop, but the brake pedal may be harder to push and the stopping distance may be longer.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

WARNING: Always maintain an
appropriate stopping distance from the vehicle in front of you. ABS cannot overcome the physical limitations of trying to stop the vehicle in too short a distance, cornering at too high a speed, or the danger of hydroplaning, i.e. where a layer of water prevents adequate contact between the tires and the road surface.
WARNING: Always drive with
consideration for the current road, weather and traffic conditions.
The ABS is designed to prevent the wheels from locking while braking, thereby enabling steering control to be retained.
Under normal braking ABS will not be activated. However, if the braking force exceeds the available adhesion between tires and road causing the wheels to lock, then ABS will automatically come into operation.
The ABS monitoring system checks that all electrical components are working correctly as soon as the vehicle is put into Accessory mode, and also at frequent intervals during a journey.
The ABS warning light illuminates briefly as a bulb check when the
vehicle is put into Accessory mode. If the light illuminates at any other time, the system has detected a fault and the ABS system has been shut down.
Note: The other functions of the braking system remain fully operational and are not affected by any loss of the ABS. However, braking distances may increase.
79
BRAKES

EMERGENCY BRAKING

WARNING: Do not pump the brake
pedal; this will interrupt operation of the ABS and may increase braking distance.
In an emergency, apply full pedal effort even when the road surface is slippery. ABS will monitor the rotational speed of the wheels and vary braking pressure to each according to the amount of traction available, thereby ensuring that the wheels do not lock and that the vehicle is brought to a stop in the shortest possible distance. Steering control will be maintained no matter how hard you brake.
Note: On soft surfaces (powdery snow, sand or gravel), the braking distance required by the ABS may be greater than for non-ABS braking, even though improved steering would be experienced. This is because the action of locked wheels on soft surfaces is to build up a wedge of surface material in front which assists the vehicle to stop.

REGENERATIVE BRAKING

Whenever the vehicle is moving and your foot is off the accelerator, regenerative braking slows the vehicle and feeds energy back to the high voltage battery.
By anticipating your stops and simply removing your foot from the accelerator to slow down, you can take advantage of the energy gained from regenerative braking.
The power meter on the DIS provides real­time feedback on the level of regenerative braking, indicating the amount of energy being generated and fed back to the high voltage battery.
The amount of regenerative braking can vary depending on the current state of the battery. For example, you’ll experience a reduction in regenerative braking if the battery is extremely hot or cold or if the battery is already charged to its maximum allowable level.

EMERGENCY USE

CAUTION: Driving the vehicle with the
parking brake applied, or repeated use of the parking brake to slow the vehicle, may cause serious damage to the brake system.
In an emergency, with the vehicle traveling more than 2mph (3km/h), pulling and holding the parking brake lever gives a gradual reduction in speed.
Note: If the vehicle is moving and the parking brake is applied, the system will automatically release the parking brake after 10 seconds to prevent damage to the system and the message “PARK BRAKE CANNOT APPLY” is displayed.
The parking brake must be reapplied to continue slowing the vehicle.
When the 12 Volt disconnect procedure is performed, or the #10 fuse has been removed from the fuse panel, a text message will appear in the DIS and the parking brake icon will be flashing alerting the driver to re-calibrate the parking brake.
To re-calibrate the electronic parking brake, perform the following:
1. Place the vehicle in system Ready
mode. Pull the parking brake button, then push the button.
2. The icon will stop flashing and the text
message will disappear.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
Electronic Stability Control

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

WARNING: No electronic system can
remove the need for safe driving practices. Although the Electronic Stabil ity Control can help to maintain control of the vehicle, it cannot prevent any accident which may result from the vehicle turning at too high a speed or from careless/dangerous driving techniques.
Note: By default ESC is switched on every time you start your Revero.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system uses various sensors to monitor driver inputs and vehicle motion. Under certain driving conditions, the ESC system helps to perform the following functions:
Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel slip on one slipping drive wheel so power is transferred to a drive wheel on the same axle that is not slipping.
Controls brake pressure and traction motor output to reduce drive wheel slip based on vehicle speed.
Controls brake pressure at individual wheels and traction motor output to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle in the following conditions:
Understeer
Oversteer
When the ESC system is operating the indicator light on the DIS will flash to indicate it is in use.
Rocking the vehicle out of a hole or deep rut.
The ESC OFF indicator light will illuminate on the DIS.

TURNING OFF ESC

CAUTION: Driving with ESC
deactivated can put additional loads on the brakes. It is recommended that ESC is switched on for normal driving conditions.
In some driving conditions it may prove helpful to deactivate ESC to improve mobility. These conditions include:
Starting on a loose surface, such as gravel or snow.
Driving in deep snow, sand or mud.

CRUISE CONTROL

Cruise Control
CRUISE CONTROL
WARNING: Do not use cruise control
in traffic conditions where a c onstant speed cannot easily be maintained or on winding or slippery road surfaces.
WARNING: It remains the driver’s
responsibility to always ensure that a safe speed is maintained within the speed limit, taking account of traffic and road conditions.
WARNING: Cruise control should not
be used in ice and snow conditions.
Cruise control enables you to maintain a constant road speed without using the accelerator pedal. This is particularly useful for any journey where a constant speed can be maintained for lengthy periods.
Note: It is important to remember that it is possible for the vehicle to increase speed when traveling downhill. This may result in the vehicle speed exceeding the set speed.
3. An indicator light on the DIS illuminates
when cruise control is operating.
If required, vehicle speed can be increased through normal use of the accelerator. When the accelerator pedal is released, road speed will return to the previously set cruising speed.
Note: The minimum set and resume speed is 20 mph (32 km/h).

CANCELING CRUISE CONTROL

Cruise control can be canceled by pressing the switch on the steering wheel. The indicator light on the DIS
will turn off. Note: Cruise control is also canceled when
the brake pedal is pressed, REGEN mode is selected, ESC is turned Off, or if the vehicle’s speed falls below 20 mph (32 km/h).

RESUMING CRUISE CONTROL

To resume cruise control at the previously set speed, press the thumb wheel to the right (RES).
Note: Cruise control will only be resumed if the vehicle’s speed is more than 20 mph (32 km/h).
Cruise control is controlled by the switches on the steering wheel.

ENGAGING CRUISE CONTROL

To engage cruise control, the vehicle’s speed must be between 20 mph (32 km/h) and 90 mph (145 km/h).
1. Accelerate until your desired cruising
speed is reached.
2. Press the thumb wheel to the left (SET)
position and release.

CHANGING THE CRUISING SPEED

The vehicle’s set cruising speed can be adjusted as follows:
To decrease the set speed, press and hold the thumb wheel to the left.
To decrease the speed in smaller increments move the thumb wheel to the left and release. Each operation of the thumb wheel will decrease the speed by 1 mph (2 km/h).
To increase the set speed, press and hold the thumb wheel to the right.
To increase the speed in smaller increments move the thumb wheel to the right and release. Each operation of the thumb wheel will increase the speed by 1 mph (2 km/h).

EXTERIOR SOUND

Exterior Sound
EXTERIOR SOUND
Unlike a traditional vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine, electric vehicles are inherently quiet at low speeds.
Although this potentially provides a large benefit by reducing the levels of traffic noise from passing vehicles, sound also acts as a warning to other road users. It signifies the presence of a vehicle, its speed, direction and acceleration.
To help reduce this safety risk, your Revero has been equipped with an exterior sound system to alert pedestrians and other road users to your presence.
Two speakers are located on the exterior of your Revero, one under the front of the vehicle and another under the rear.
approximately 28 mph (45 km/h). At this speed, the exterior sound is switched on and the sound will fade in. As the vehicle slows, the pitch of the sound will decrease.
Note: The exterior sound system remains active even when the vehicle is in [P] Park.

USING THE SYSTEM

Note: The exterior sound system is controlled automatically by the vehicle. There is no need for driver intervention.
When the vehicle is put into Drive mode, the exterior sound system is switched on. A pulsing sound will be heard from the exterior speakers.
As the vehicle’s speed increases, the pitch of the sound increases until the vehicle’s speed reaches approximately 30 mph (50 km/h). At this speed the volume of the sound will fade out and the exterior sound is turned off.
The exterior sound will remain off until the vehicle’s speed is reduced to

ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (ADAS)

WARNING: Lane Departure Warnin g
(LDW) and Forward Collision Warning (FCW) features are for guidance purposes only and are only designed for providing audio and visual alerts.
WARNING: These are warning
features only, the vehicle cannot steer itself or brake on its own; the driver is solely responsible for safely driving the vehicle.
WARNING: These features are
camera-dependent and the accuracies may be impacted by visibility and many other factors. The driver should not depend on them at any time. If the ambient lighting is bright enough that the driver cannot see, then the camera will not be able to "see" either.
The Karma Revero is equipped with a front camera - mounted in the interior, on the windshield - which is responsible for detecting and warning the driver of unintended road lane departures and forward collisions with surrounding vehicles. This new system has been named the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS).
You can enable/disable these features through the Touch panel on the Infotainment Unit.
My Karma>Settings>Safety>Lane departure warning.
My Karma>Settings>Safety>Forward collision warning.
The features of the ADAS are not operational under certain conditions. This can happen in many scenarios, like vehicle speed below the required speed or poor visibility due to rain, etc.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning is only available at speeds of 44 to 112 mph (60 to 180 km/h).
The driver will not receive any feedback from the LDW until a vehicle speed of 44 mph is achieved. The driver will then receive warnings when attempting to change lanes.
The system will be automatically disengaged when wipers are active. This means LDW is not be available on a rainy day.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING

1. Same direction
For example: When the left turn
signal is selected, and the vehicle turns left, no warning will be given.
2. Short indicator
For example: If the turn signal has
been activated, but no lane change is detected after a period of time, the system automatically c ancels the turn signal.
No warning should sound if the vehicle turns left within 5 seconds after the indicator has turned off.
3. Wrong indicator
For example: When the left turn
signal is selected, but the vehicle turns right, the system will activate an audible and visual warning.
85
DRIVERS ASSISTANCE
4. No indicator
For example: If the vehicle drifts left
without a turn signal selected, the system will activate an audible and visual warning.

LANE DEPARTURE SENSITIVITY

The user can select different sensitivity through the touch panel.
1. Early
Audio and visual warnings are
triggered when the wheel is too close to the lane mark.
2. Normal
Audio and visual warnings are
triggered when the wheel is touching the lane mark. This is the default setting for LDW .
3. Late
Audio and visual warnings are
triggered when the wheel is driving on the lane mark.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning is only available at speeds ranging from 12.5 to 50 mph (20 to 80 km/h). Activation of the FCW system can be done through the CIU.
The red FCW icon with a soft audio sound provides warning that immediate action is required to avoid a forward collision. The action required might be applying brakes or swerving to avoid collision.
In the event the red FCW icon with a hard audio sound occurs, without immediate action you will be involved in a forward collision.
The system will be automatically disengaged when the wipers are activ.e That means FCW is not available on a rainy day.

SENSITIVITY SETTINGS

There are 3 level of FCW sensitivities. The major difference between them is the "risky" level threshold
1. Early
2. Normal
3. Late
The yellow FCW icon provides early warning that action may be required to avoid a collision. There is no audio sounds to assist with the alert.

PARK DISTANCE CONTROL (PDC)

WARNING: The PDC system may no t
detect moving objects such as children and animals, until they are dangerously close. Always maneuver with caution and always use your mirrors.
CAUTION: The PDC system is for
guidance only and is not intended to replace the driver’s visual checks for obstructions when maneuvering. The sensors may not be able to detect certain types of obstructions (for example, narr ow posts, small objects close to the ground and some objects with dark, non-reflective surfaces).
The PDC system alerts the driver to any obstructions that need to be avoided while maneuvering at low speeds.
Th e PDC is active only if the gear pos ition in on Drive or Reverse. When in the Neutral position, the activation of the front/ rear sensors depends on the previous state.
the frequency of the intermittent tone increases.
CAUTION: Systems which use the
same frequency band as the parking sensors may cause irregular tones to be emitted.
When the distance between the sensors and the obstruction is less than about 1 foot (30 cm) the tone becomes continuous.
Note: PDC is automatically switched off when the vehicle’s forward speed exceeds
7.5 mph (12 km/h).

CLEANING THE SENSORS

CAUTION: When w ashin g the ve hicle,
avoid aiming high pressure water jets directly at the sensors. Do not use abrasiv e materials or hard/sharp objects to clean the sensors.
If the sensors are obscured by dirt, ice or snow their performance may be impaired.
The vehicle is equipped with eight ultrasonic sensors, four on the front bumper and four on the rear bumper.
The range of the front sensors, as well as the rear corner sensors, is approximately 3 feet (90 cm), while the two rear center sensors have a range of approximately 5 feet (1.5 m).
You are made aware of any obstruction, within range, by an intermittent tone. As the vehicle moves closer to the obstruction,

CHARGING SYSTEM COMPONENTS

1. Charge port
2. Charge coupler
3. HIgh voltage battery

GENERAL INFORMATION

Your Revero uses an electric propulsion system to drive the vehicle at all times. To extend the operating range of the vehicle, and depending on driving mode, an internal combustion engine will drive a generator to produce electricity as required.
The high voltage battery is the primary source of electrical energy and a generator powered by a gasoline engine is the secondary source.
Your Revero has three operating modes: STEALTH, SPORT and SUSTAIN. See “Driving Modes” on page 76.

CHARGING PORT

The charging port is located on the left-hand side of the vehicle. An arrow on the battery gauge points to that side of the vehicle.
93
CHARGING THE VEHICLE
To open the charging port cover, press the rear edge of the cover and release. The cover will unlatch and gently spring open.
To close the charging port cover, press firmly in the center until the cover latches in place.

USING THE CONVENIENCE CHARGING CORD

WARNING: Using the charging cord
with a worn or damaged wall outlet may cause burns or start a fire. Periodically check the wall plug and charging cord while the vehicle is charging. If the plug f e els ho t, unplug the charging cord and have the outlet replaced by a qualified electrician.

ELECTRICAL OUTLETS

Ideally, the AC out let should be grounded with a charging voltage of 240V AC and on a dedicated circuit rated at 16A (at 3kW) or 32A (at 6kW). That means there should be no other major appliances connected to the same circuit.
Wall outlet types:
NEMA 5-15: Regular home use
plug, three prong. NEMA 14-50: Max charge is 32
amps, traditionally called RV plugs.
NEMA L6-30: Industrial grade wall connector with a twist lock. This is the plug that comes with the car.
Note: The 14-50 and 5-15 will come in a kit as additional infrastructure plugs.
Note: The plug has an internal temperature sensor that may change the charge rate automatically as the temperature or battery SOC increases. (The amperage may change).
If a non dedicated circuit is used, the current rating of the wall outlet circuit breaker could be exceeded and cause it to trip or open.
If you are having issues using the charging cord at a particular wall outlet, try the following:
Use another wall outlet if available.
Remove other loads on the same circuit.
Charge the vehicle in reduced level
mode using the charge rate switch on the travel charger.

EXTENSION CORDS

WARNING: Use of an extension cord may increase the risk of electric
shock or other hazards.
The use of extension cords should only be used if charging with 120V AC. All outlets and charging accessories should be Residual Current because of limited access to a power outlet; please observe the following guidelines:
The wall outlet should be RCD protected with a resettable circuit breaker at the outlet.
The extension cord should be RCD protected with a resettable circuit breaker at the terminating end of the connector.
The extension cord should be 12 or 14 gage, and must be a 3 pin conductor.
The extension cord should be rated for outdoor usage.
Note: The travel charger automatically detects the amount of current it can draw from the wall outlet. Using an extension cord with a long cord or smaller gage conductors may prevent the vehicle from charging.
WARNING: Improper use of portable
electric vehicle charge cords may cause a fire, electrical shock, or burns, and may result in damage to property, serious injury, or death.
WARNING: Do not use extension
cords, multi-outlet power strips, splitters, grounding adapters, surge protectors, or similar devices.

CAUTION: The connector end of the
charging cord is heavy and may damage the vehicle’s paint if dropped when connecting or disconnecting.
Note: The vehicle should be plugged into a charger when the ambient temperature is at or below 32°F (0°C).
Note: When using an EV charging station that offers a delayed charging feature, actual charging may not begin for up to 1 hour after the unit is programmed to begin.
The high voltage battery can be charged either from the internal combustion engine, or through the electrical grid. When charging from the electrical grid, there are three levels:
Level 1: Refers to 120 volts AC charging through a standard household wall outlet.
Level 2: Refers to 240 volt AC charging through a professionally installed home charging station or a commercial charging station.
DC fast charging: Refers to 480 volt AC input that is converted to directly charge the high voltage battery with DC.
Level 1 charging is the most common and most vehicles come with a travel charger. This travel charger eliminates the need for a charging station to be installed at the vehicle owner’s home. One end of a Level 1 charger is a standard three-prong household plug. The other end is a standard J1772 high voltage vehicle charge connector and provides 2 to 5 miles of range per hour of charge.
Level 2 charging utilizes a standard high voltage vehicle charge connector and is more commonly found in residential charging, commercial charging, public parking and places of employment. Level 2 chargers provide 10 to 20 miles of range per hour of charge. Level 2 can charge at
3.3 kW of 6.6 kW. This depends on wall outlet capabilities.
DC fast charging utilizes a J1772 Combo connector. DC fast charging provides an approximate range of 40 miles in 30 minutes or less.
Note: To optimize the performance of the High Voltage Battery, Karma Automotive recommends that the vehicle is charged to full capacity using the Level 1 travel charger (120 volt AC charging) at least once a week. This will help monitor and actively control battery cell balancing.
Note: Allow the high voltage battery to fully discharge before recharging. This will exercise the battery and help maintain battery health.

EV CHARGE STATION

DC FAST CHARGING

A DC charging cable is available at most charging stations and provides a higher current connection. This significantly decreases charging time compared to charging from a household AC wall outlet.
Note: The charging cable will be locked if the vehicle is locked during DC Fast Charging.
Note: For further details on the Electric Vehicle Charge Station, please contact your Karma Retailer.

CHARGING TIME

The amount of time it takes to fully charge the vehicle is dependent upon the remaining battery charge level and the available electrical supply (amperage and voltage).
DC Fast charging will be able to charge the high voltage battery in 25 minutes, but will automatically stop charging at 90% State of Charge (SOC).
As a guide, the following are an approximate time to charge the high voltage battery from fully depleted.
Charge type
AC Level 1 120V @ 16A
AC Level II 240V @ 32A
DC Quick Charge
Note: Charge time is also impacted by both the ambient air temperature and the temperature of the vehicle’s high voltage battery. If the temperature is outside the optimal range, the vehicle’s heating and cooling system will operate to warm or cool the high voltage battery accordingly. This will consume some of the energy used for charging.

COLD WEATHER CHARGING CONSIDERATIONS

CAUTION: Do not allow the vehicle to
remain in temperature extremes for long periods without being driven or plugged in.
If the vehicle will be dormant during periods of low temperature (32 °F/ 0 °C), it is recommended that the vehicle be plugged in and charging.
During an AC charge session, the charging system may operate fans and pumps that
97
CHARGING THE VEHICLE
result in sounds from the vehicle while it is turned off.
The charging system may also run the HVAC, pumps, and fans to manage the thermal conditions of the high voltage battery during a DC Fast charge session.
Note: In cold weather conditions, ice may form around the charge port door. The charge port door may not open on the first attempt. Remove ice from the area and attempt to open the charge port door.
Note: Keep the vehicle plugged in, even when fully charged, in order to keep the battery temperature prepared for the next drive. This is important when outside temperatures are extremely cold.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Gasoline vapors are
highly flammable, have a low flash point and are explosive, especially in confined spaces. Avoid exposing the vapor to any potential sources of ignition as the resulting fire and explos i on may cause serious injuries and/or death.
WARNING: Never fill the vehicle’s
fuel tank while the vehicle is charging or connected to a charging station. An accidental spark could cause an explosion or fire resulting in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Switch off the engine
when refueling, as it is both a source of extreme temperatures and electrical sparks. Failure to do so may cause a fire or explosion.
WARNING: During refueling, switch
off any personal electronic devices such as mobile phones, or music players. They have the potential to trigger an explosion or a fire.
WARNING: Do not smoke, use an
open flame or cause sparks while refueling. The resulting fire and/or explosion may cause serious injury or death.
WARNING: Only use containers
specifically designed for carrying fuel and always remove them from the vehicle to fill them. Failure to do so may result in spillage and cause a fire.
WARNING: Do not overfill the fuel
tank. Overfilling may cause spillage when the vehicle is driven. Spillage may also occur if the fuel expands in high ambient temperatures.
After refueling the vehicle, regardless of drive mode selected, the engine will be forced to carry out maintenance on the Evaporative Emissions System. The engine must run near idle for approximately five minutes. The duration of the required engine run time will be based on the environmental conditions and the amount of fuel added. The hotter the weather, and the more fuel added to the tank, the longer
the Evaporative Emissions System maintenance will take.

FUEL FILLER

The fuel filler is located on the right­hand side of the vehicle. An arrow on the fuel gauge points to that side of the vehicle.
When your Revero is stationary and unlocked, press the fuel filler cover release button located on the driver’s side dashboard closing panel.
The fuel filler cover will gently spring open. Twist the fuel filler cap counter clockwise to release.
A strap secures the fuel filler cap to the vehicle to prevent loss. A holder is provided on the door to store the cap while refueling.
When replacing the fuel filler cap, tighten it until it clicks three times.
Failure to do so may cause the indicator icon on the DIS to illuminate due to increased evaporative emission levels.

FUEL FILLING

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

CAUTION: Avoid running out of fuel.
Doing so can cause damage to the vehicle’s engine, fuel pump and emission control systems.
When the remaining fuel reaches approximately 10%
of the maximum fuel level, the fuel gauge display will turn yel low. I f the fuel level falls to approximately 3%, the low fuel warning icon will turn red.

FUEL SPECIFICATION

CAUTION: Do not use leaded fuels,
lead substitutes or fuel additives. Doing so can cause damage to the engine, fuel and emission control systems.
CAUTION: Only use high quality fuel
as using a lower quality can cause damage to the engine, fuel and emission control systems.
CAUTION: Fuel system cleaning
agents should not be used as they may be harmful to fuel system components on your Revero.
CAUTION: If the fuel tank is filled with
the wrong type of fuel, do not start the engine. It is essential that you seek qualified assistance. Running the engine can cause serious engine and fuel system damage.
The correct fuel specification for your Revero is shown on the inside of the fuel filler cover.
Only use Premium Unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel is essential for proper operation of the emission control system.
Even a very small quantity of leaded fuel will damage your vehicle's emission control system and could invalidate the emissions warranty.

ALTERNATIVE FUELS

ETHANOL FUELS

CAUTION: Do not use E85 fuels (85%
Ethanol content). If E85 fuels are used serious engine and fuel system damage will occur.
Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol may be used. Ensure the fuel has an octane rating no lower than that recommended on the inside fuel filler cover.

METHANOL FUELS

CAUTION: Do not use fuels that
contain methanol. The use of fuels containing Methanol will seriously damage fuel system components. Damage caused by using this type of fuel will not b e covered under the vehicle warranty.

REFORMULATED GASOLINE

CAUTION: Karma Automotive does
not recommend the use of reformulated gasolines that contain the additive MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl). Fuels containing MMT can reduce spark plug life and the performance of the emission control system.
