SummaryPITSTOP: MATTE PAINT FINISH CARE INSTRUCTIONS - This pitstop provides instructions regarding matte paint finish on some 2022MY~ vehicles. Contrary to gloss paint, matte painted surfaces have a unique finish with low gloss due to diffused light reflection. This requires different care (hand wash with special cleaners), to maintain and preserve the matte appearance. Warranty does not cover the vehicleâÃÂÃÂs matte appearance. Issues with matte paint at PDI should be reviewed with DPSMâÃÂÃÂs prior to any repairs.

SummaryTECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: SERVICE ACTION: VCU SOFTWARE UPGRADE FOR i-PEDAL OPERATION (SA533) - This bulletin provides the procedure to update the software logic of the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) system on certain 2022MY EV6 (CV) vehicles produced from November 17, 2021 through February 21, 2023 in order to improve the 'i-Pedal' operation logic. The regenerative braking system charges the battery when coasting or when you use the brakes to stop the vehicle. Use the paddle switches to adjust the regenerative braking level from 0 to 3 during decelerating or braking. Pull the left side paddle switch once again when the regenerative braking level is set to Level 3. The i-Pedal indicator symbol will be illuminated on the instrument cluster. The 'i-Pedal' driving feature controls the vehicle speed by the accelerator pedal, both acceleration and deceleration. In addition, some of the affected vehicles require the application of a leaflet to the owner's manual regarding operation of the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) feature.

SummaryTECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: BMS UPGRADE FOR BATTERY CONDITIONING MODE - This bulletin provides the procedure to install the Battery Conditioning Mode function on some 2022MY EV6 (CV) vehicles produced from November 17, 2021 through October 21, 2022 by updating the software logic of the Battery Management System (BMS). This procedure should only be performed if specifically requested by the customer and should be clearly documented on the RO that it is being performed "per customer request." The battery conditioning mode will optimize the Direct Current (DC) charging performance of the electric vehicle (EV) battery in low outdoor temperatures, by allowing the EV battery to preheat prior to arriving at a DC charger site. The software requires that the owner selects a DC charger site as a point of interest (POI) via the vehicle's navigation system to enable the battery conditioning heating when EV battery temperature is below 68°F. Battery heating impact on DC charging may vary depending on initial EV battery temperature and the estimated time to arrive at the POI. It may be possible to enable battery conditioning mode for a longer time prior to departure, as it can help to achieve the longer battery heating time needed in very low temperatures. Enabling the battery conditioning mode will use battery power and temporarily reduce the driving range until the vehicle is charged.
