Taking EV6 through an Automated Car Wash

Having a clean vehicle is a point of pride for many drivers—including your EV6 customers. Let’s review the steps for taking the EV6 through an automated car wash, as it may be a bit different from what some of your customers are used to.

While being operated, the EV6 is generally in Ready mode. This means safety systems and ADAS^* features are active and may, in certain situations, apply the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) and/or shift into Park (P) (e.g., when doors are opened, seatbelts are unlatched, or vehicle rollback is detected). This can cause issues when using an automated car wash—particularly when the vehicle is sent through without a driver.

To avoid this, the EV6 must first be shifted into NEUTRAL (N) in ON mode before entering an automated car wash.

ACTION STEPS

Entering an Automated Car Wash

1. Turn vehicle OFF.
2. Press the Start button twice (2X) to activate ON mode (not READY mode).
3. Set Auto Hold to OFF.
4. Press and hold the brake pedal.
5. Select NEUTRAL (N) on the dial-type shift knob.
6. Set the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) to OFF.
7. Release the brake pedal. The vehicle will stay in NEUTRAL (N).

Leaving an Automated Car Wash

1. Press the brake pedal.
2. Select PARK (P) on the dial-type shift knob.
3. With the brake pedal still depressed, press the Start button to set the vehicle to READY mode.
4. Select Drive (D) to drive forward.

Be sure to share this process with each of your EV6 customers. For more information on EV6 operation, refer to the vehicle Owner’s Manual.
