Warning
When leaving a person or a pet in the vehicle, you must ensure that you have your smart key
fob with you. Failure to do so may result in injury or death.
Caution
• The smart key fob is an electronic component. Protect it from impact, high
temperatures, strong vibration and damage from liquids. Do not disassemble the smart
key fob.
• If you leave an authenticated key fob in the vehicle and lock the vehicle with another
authenticated key fob, the mobile app or an NFC key, the key fob left in the vehicle
will become invalid. To reactivate the key fob in the vehicle, use an authenticated key
fob or mobile app to unlock the vehicle.
• If any door or the liftgate is not opened within 30 seconds after unlocking, all of the
doors and the liftgate will lock automatically.
• If the key fob is lost or damaged, please contact NIO immediately and take all of your
keys to NIO for de-authentication and re-authentication, or apply for new key fobs.
• If the smart key fob is not used for a long period of time, please charge it once in a
while (ideally every two months) to maintain its optimal performance.
Note
To prevent kids from mistakenly locking or unlocking the vehicle, if the lock or unlock button
on the smart key fob is pressed nine times in 10 seconds, the smart key fob will only be able
to unlock the vehicle once for a period of 15 seconds, and will not be able to lock the vehicle.
Linking an Account to the Smart Key Fob

When the vehicle is activated and verified for the first time, the owner’s account is linked to
the key fob by default. When the vehicle is unlocked with one of the key fobs, the vehicle
logs into the owner’s account automatically.
Owner can also link an authorized user account to a smart key fob by managing the key fob in
the NIO app. When an authorized user unlocks the vehicle using a key fob, the vehicle will
log into the linked user's account automatically. You can view and delete accounts linked to
the key fobs on the NIO app. After linking or unlinking a account successfully, the vehicle
owner and the account owner will receive a message and an app notification.
Note
• Only the vehicle owner can modify the binding relationship between the key and the
account. Other NIO accounts must be authorized before they can be bound to the key.
• If the vehicle owner stops the authorization, the binding relationship between the
authorized user and the key will be automatically released synchronously.
• Guest mode is only applicable to smart keys bound to the vehicle owner's account.
When the vehicle is unlocked with the smart key bound to the authorized user account,
the authorized user information will be loaded automatically.
Charging the Smart Key Fob

You must carry a key fob to use this feature.
Note
• Do not sweep your foot from side to side.

• Do not keep your foot under the bumper. Otherwise, the liftgate will not open.
• Do not touch the liftgate before it stops moving.
The feature may be temporarily disabled for reasons including but not limited to:
• The liftgate is frequently opened or closed

• The foot is not taken back in time
• The kicking motion is not in the effective detection range
If the liftgate is unresponsive, you can try again after several seconds, or use another approach
to open or close the liftgate.
Caution
• Ensure that the vehicle is stationary.

• Ensure that the range of the kicking motion is less than 0.5 meters from the center of
the rear bumper.
Warning
• Do not drive the vehicle when the liftgate is open.

display, or press and hold the button on the liftgate to open it.
Roof load and loading on load holder

When loading onto the roof of the vehicle, a load holder recommended by NIO should be
used.
The aim of this is to reduce the risk of damage to the vehicle, and to maintain safety while
traveling.
Carefully follow the mounting instruction supplied with the load holder.
• Distribute the load evenly over the load holders. Place the heaviest load at the bottom.
• Check regularly to ensure that the load holders and load are secured properly. Lash the
load securely using bungees.
• If the load extends beyond the front of the vehicle such as a cance or kayak, fit the
towing eye in its front socket and use it to attach a bungee to.
• The larger the load, the more the vehicle is exposed to the wind, thereby increasing its
energy consumption.
• Drive gently. Avoid violent acceleration, heavy braking and hard cornering.
Warning
The centre of gravity and driving characteristics of the car change when carrying a load on the
roof.
Comply with the car's specifications with regard to weight and maximum permitted load.
Warning

To insert and replace the fragrance cartridges:
1. Remove the cover of the fragrance cartridge, insert the cartridge facing up in the
holder, and then press the bottom of the cartridge.
Caution
Do not rotate the fragrance cartridge when inserting it.

2. The cartridge will then be held in place by a magnet placed inside the holder.
3. 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.
4. 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.

• 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.
Caution
• 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.

ceramic fragrance stuck in the fragrance cartridge and away from all plastic parts.
Note
• 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
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.
Nap Mode
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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
Caution
• 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.
Meditation Mode
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.
Caution
• Please verify that the vehicle is in the park gear and not in the power swap mode.
• Please close all doors and the tailgate before starting the mode to ensure safety.
• If the vehicle is not in charging process, it is necessary to ensure that the vehicle range

is in a non-park gear, has a risk of battery fire, has software updates, has entered
power swap mode, is locked and asleep, and is switching accounts.
Breathing Mode
The Breathing Mode helps you learn how to breathe properly, calm yourself down, and
relieve stress.
You or your authorized users can enter the application launcher to open the Tide > Breathing
page where breathing scenarios and background sound scenarios and volumes can be set and
memorized for the specific account.
Caution
• Please verify that the vehicle is in the park gear and not in the power swap mode.
• Please close all doors and the tailgate before starting the mode to ensure safety.
• If the vehicle is not in charging process, it is necessary to ensure that the vehicle range
is not less than 30 kilometers.
• The vehicle will automatically exit the current mode in certain situations, such as if it
is in a non-park gear, has a risk of battery fire, has software updates, has entered
power swap mode, is locked and asleep, and is switching accounts.
Child-Protection Locks
It is recommended that you engage the child-protection locks (including child lock and
window lock) whenever a child is seated in the rear row, so that rear doors and windows
cannot be opened from inside. Failure to do so may result in accidents if a rear window or
door is opened by the child by accident.
The child lock and window lock are set to off by default. Once enabled, they will remain
active until you turn them off manually. To turn them on, swipe right on the home page to
visit Quick Access and tap Child Lockand Window Lock.
Warning
• When the child-protection locks are on, the rear doors and rear windows cannot be
opened from inside. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Doing so may
result in injury or death.
• When enabling the child-protection locks on the center display, do not pull the rear
interior door handles. Doing so may cause the child-protection locks to malfunction
and result in injury or death.
Child Safety Seats

Children under the age of 12 or less than 1.5 meters in height must ride in a child safety seat
or a booster seat in order to be sufficiently protected. Children must not be carried in an
occupant’s arms or sit in their lap.
Only use a child safety seat that is suitable for a child and complies with the relevant laws and
regulations. Always check the label and instructions when choosing a child safety seat. When
installing and using a child safety seat, always follow the relevant laws and regulations, the
child safety seat manufacturer’s instructions, and this manual.
Important Instructions for Using a Child Safety Seat

Correct use of a child safety seat can significantly lower the risk of injury or reduce the
severity of injury in an accident. Please pay attention to the following tips when using a child
safety seat:
• Ensure that your child is riding in a child safety seat and wearing their seat belt
correctly.
• Never allow your child to ride unprotected in the car.
• Do not seat more than one child in a child safety seat.
• Never allow a child to be held in an occupant’s arms.
• Ensure that no hard or sharp objects are on the child safety seat. Failure to do so may
cause injury during an accident.
• When installing a rear-facing child safety seat in the rear seat, you may need to
appropriately adjust the corresponding front seat forward; when installing a front-
facing child safety seat in the rear seat, you may need to appropriately adjust the head
rest height.
• Never leave a child unattended, even if the child is secured in a child safety seat.
• Never allow a child to stand or kneel in their seat when driving. Otherwise, the child
could be thrown from the vehicle, which may cause injury or death to the child and
other occupants.
• Always follow the child safety seat manufacturer’s instructions for correct use of the
seat belt for optimal protection.
• Always ensure that the child safety seat is correctly installed and secured even if a
child is not sitting in the child safety seat. Failure to do so may cause injury to other
occupants during a collision or emergency braking.
• When a child is seated in a child safety seat, to reduce the risk of injury, always ensure
that the child does not lean on the door, outboard side of the seat, or pillar, or position
their head or body below the roof cross beam where side airbags or curtain airbags
will deploy when an accident occurs.
Groups of Child Safety Seats

Only use the approved child safety seat suitable for your child. Children over 1.5 meters in
height can use the vehicle's seat belts. Child safety seats must comply with relevant
regulations and standards.

Choosing and Installing a Child Safety Seat

Warning
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.
Warning
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.
Warning
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.
Installing a Child Safety Seat
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.
1. Slide the child safety seat onto the seat's anchor bars until you hear it click into
place.
2. 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.
3. Pull on the child safety seat to check if it fits snugly.
Warning
• 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
Seat Belt Instructions
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.
Warning
• 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).
Seat Belt Warning Light

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.
Warning
If the seat belt reminder malfunctions, do not use the seat and contact NIO immediately for
inspection.
Wearing Seat Belts
Use the seat belts correctly as follows:
1. 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.
2. 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.
Warning
• 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.
Airbags
Airbag Instructions
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”.
1. Driver's airbag
2. Front passenger airbag
3. Front side airbags
4. Curtain airbags
Warning
• 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.
Conditions for Deploying Airbags
Airbags will inflate in the following cases:
1. The vehicle hits a wall or another vehicle at a high speed.

2. The vehicle hits a hard curb.
3. The vehicle falls into a deep ditch.
4. The vehicle is impacted by another vehicle at high speed from the side.
5. 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:
1. The vehicle hits a tree, pole, or other tall and thin object.
2. The vehicle is hit by another vehicle in the rear.
3. The vehicle rolls over.

Pedestrian Warning System

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 this feature is enabled:
• 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.
Improper Acceleration Inhibition Assist

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.
Activating/Deactivating Improper Acceleration Inhibition

Assist
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.
Operating conditions for Improper Acceleration Inhibition Assist:
• Your vehicle speed is within a reasonable range

• The radar functions normally and provides clear vision
• The camera functions normally and provides clear vision
Caution
• 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.
Warning
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.
Warning
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.

• Due to the limitation of radar target recognition characteristics, in rare special
circumstances, false alarms may occur for some metal barriers, green belts, cement
walls, etc.
To perform this function optimally, the system needs to recognize the outline and main
features of the pedestrian's body as clear and complete as possible, which means that the head,
shoulders, arms, legs, upper and lower body of the pedestrian can be recognized by
integrating them into standard human movements. The following conditions may cause
pedestrians to be unrecognized, which may prevent Improper Acceleration Inhibition Assist
from operating as expected, which include but are not limited to:
• Pedestrians are taller than 200cm or shorter than 100cm.

• Pedestrians wear large clothing (such as raincoats, Hanfu, etc.), causing the main
features (arms, legs, etc.) to be obscured and the outline to be unclear.
• The distance between pedestrians and the sensor is too close when pedestrians first
appear in the sensor's visual field.
• Pedestrians are carrying a large backpack or luggage.
• The contrast between the colors of the pedestrians' clothes and the background scene
is low.
• Pedestrians carry umbrellas, which cover the head, arms and other major features.
• Pedestrians bend or crouch.
• Pedestrians sit in a wheelchair.
• The distance between pedestrians is close.
• Pedestrians wear reflective clothing.
• Pedestrians walk in dark places such as roads at night, tunnels, etc.
• There are great changes in the speed of pedestrians crossing the road.
To perform this function optimally, the system needs to recognize the outline and main
features of the cyclist's body as clear and complete as possible as well as the outline of the
bicycle. Cyclists referred to in this function are adults, and shall ride bicycles designed for
adults. The following conditions may cause cyclists to be unrecognized, which may prevent
Improper Acceleration Inhibition Assist from operating as expected, which include but are not
limited to:
• When features of the pedestrian or bicycle are obscured by clothing or other objects,
resulting in an indistinct outline.
• When larger baggage and goods are carried on the bicycle.
• When the bicycle is going fast.
• The contrast between the colors of the cyclists and the background scene is low.
• There are great changes in the speed of cyclists.
• The distance between cyclists and the sensor is too close when cyclists first appear in
the sensor's visual field.
• When riding in dark places such as roads at night, tunnels, etc.
• Balanced bikes, children's scooters, some scooters and electric bicycles of special
forms, etc. are being used.

Automatic Emergency Brake

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.
Warning
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.
Warning
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.
This feature will be turned on when the vehicle's system restarts.

In certain situations, the camera may fail to recognize obstacles so that Automatic Emergency
Brake may fail to function. including but not limited to:

• The view of the camera is interfered by direct sunlight or other light sources.
front of you.
• The camera cannot focus or malfunctions.
Only qualified vehicles moving in the same direction as your vehicle, cyclists, and pedestrians
will trigger Automatic Emergency Brake. Some targets are not responded to, including but not
limited to:

• Animals
• Traffic lights
• Walls
• Barriers (traffic cones, etc.)
Caution
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.
Caution
• 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.
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. Automatic
Emergency Brake may fail to function as intended due to failures to identify pedestrians in
• 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).
• Pedestrians who are stooping or squatting.
• Pedestrians in wheelchairs.
• Pedestrians in close proximity to others.
• Pedestrians in reflective clothing.
• Pedestrians in dark conditions, such as at night or in a tunnel.
• Pedestrians who are crossing the road at a significantly changing speed.
For optimal performance, cyclist detection needs clear and complete bicycle and body contour
information. Only adult cyclists riding on adult bicycles can be detected. The Automatic
Emergency Brake may fail to function as intended due to failures to identify the cyclist in
• Obstructed bicycles or cyclists in clothing that hides their contours.

• Bicycles loaded with large objects.
• Bicycles traveling at high speed.
• Cyclists and bicycles in poor contrast with the background color.
• Cyclists who are crossing the road at a significantly changing speed.
• Cyclists who are too close to your vehicle when first caught in the sensor’s field of
view.
• Cyclists in dark conditions, such as at night or in a tunnel.
• Cyclists riding self-balancing scooters, standing scooters, certain types of seated
scooters, and special-shaped electric bicycles.
Automatic Emergency Brake may fail to function as intended if the target is not right in front

large vehicles such as buses and trucks), the target may not be identified in time.
• When your vehicle suddenly swerves to the back of a vehicle in front of you or when
other vehicles abruptly cut into or out of the lane in front of your vehicle, the target
may not be identified in time.
The performance of Automatic Emergency Brake in reducing the impact of a collision may be
affected due to special or complex road conditions, including but not limited to:
• Large numbers of pedestrians, bicycles, electric bicycles, or animals.
congested roads.
• Bumpy roads.
Caution
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.
Warning
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.
Warning
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.
Warning
Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to reduce the impact of frontal collisions only. It
does not function when your vehicle is in REVERSE.
Warning
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.
Warning
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)
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 (LKA)

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.
Warning
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.
Warning
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.
Warning
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.
Warning
The following behaviors are prohibited when driving:
• Relying solely on Lane Keeping Assist

• Using Lane Keeping Assist in bad weather conditions
• Using Lane Keeping Assist on non-standardized roads
• Hands off the steering wheel
• Eyes off the road

Emergency Lane Keeping

Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK) uses the trifocal camera to detect lane lines or curbs. When
the conditions are met in an emergency, it applies steering assist to reduce the risk of lane
departure.
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.
Warning
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.
Warning
As a driver assist feature, Emergency Lane Keeping cannot handle all situations in all traffic,
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

Pilot
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.
Caution
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.
Caution
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.
Warning
As a driving assist feature, Pilot cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road
conditions.
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.
Warning
• 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
Warning
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.
Warning
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.

• 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.

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.
Taking Over Control and Resuming Pilot

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.
Caution
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.
Warning
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.
• 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.

• 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.
Caution
When Pilot is canceled, your vehicle may decelerate due to power regeneration and will no
longer automatically control steering and speed.
Warning
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

• 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 .
Caution
Caution
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.
Warning
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.
Caution
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.
Warning
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.
Caution
Emergency Driving Assist can only function properly when the restrictions for Pilot are met.
Warning
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.
Warning
If you encounter a dangerous situation, do not wait for a warning before taking action and
take over immediately.
Lead Vehicle Start Alert

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.
Warning
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.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

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.
Warning
As a driving assist feature, Adaptive Cruise Control cannot handle all situations in all traffic,
Adaptive Cruise Control controls the speed, but not the direction, of your vehicle.
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.
Warning
• 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
Warning
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.
Enabling Adaptive Cruise Control
1. : Activate or deactivate Adaptive Cruise Control
2. : Increase the cruise speed or resume Adaptive Cruise Control
3. : Increase the following distance
4. : Reduce the following distance
5. : Reduce the cruise speed
When the operating conditions are met, press on the left to activate Adaptive Cruise
Control.
Adaptive Cruise Control can be activated at a speed of 15-160 km/h with no vehicles in front,
or at 0-160 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 30km/h.
When activated, Adaptive Cruise Control maintains the set cruise speed when you release the
accelerator pedal.
• When there is a lead vehicle in front of you, Adaptive Cruise Control 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, Adaptive Cruise Control will quickly adjust the
speed of your vehicle to the cruise speed.
When Adaptive Cruise Control is enabled, you can take over control of the vehicle quickly at
any time by fully pressing the brake pedal. In this case, Adaptive Cruise Control will cease
responding to the target vehicle and you will have full control of your vehicle. When you
release the accelerator pedal, your vehicle will return to the cruise speed.
When Adaptive Cruise Control accelerates the vehicle, the accelerator pedal does not move.
When Adaptive Cruise Control brakes the vehicle, the brake pedal moves.
If Adaptive Cruise Control 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, Adaptive Cruise Control can be
activated again by pressing or the accelerator pedal. In this case, it will resume the
previously set cruise speed.
Note
Operating conditions for Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC):
• The trifocal camera and millimeter-wave radars are operating normally with a clear
field of view.
• All Adaptive Cruise Control components are free of faults
o The gear is shifted into DRIVE.

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.
The maximum cruise speed you can set is 160 km/h.
The minimum cruise speed you can set is 30 km/h, but the system can follow the lead vehicle
to a full stop (0 km/h).
Warning
The maximum set speed is the theoretical top speed for Adaptive Cruise Control. When
enabling and setting Adaptive Cruise Control, please comply with traffic safety laws and
regulations, including but not limited to vehicle speed.

Tire Inspection and Maintenance

Do not drive on damaged, over-worn, or incorrectly inflated tires. For driving safety, please
check the tires on a regular basis:
• Inspect the tires frequently for damage (punctures, cuts, tears, and bulges), and remove
foreign matter embedded in the tire tread.
• A puncture will cause the tire to lose pressure, so it’s important to check the tire
pressure frequently. Repair or replace punctured or damaged tires as soon as possible.
If you feel sudden shaking or bumps while driving, or suspect that the tires are
damaged, slow down immediately while avoiding heavy braking or sudden steering.
Stop after confirming that it is safe, and then contact the NIO Service Center for
assistance immediately.
• If the tire valve dust cap is lost, please replace it as soon as possible.
• 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.
For safety reasons, tires must be replaced if they show the following damage:
• 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 you are not sure, please consult the NIO Service Center.
Caution
If tire wear is uneven, we recommend that you contact NIO to have the tires checked for
dynamic balancing.
In order to reduce tire wear and prolong the service life of the tires, the tires should be cared
for according to your driving habits and road conditions:
• 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.
Winter Tires
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.

Caution
• Exceeding the maximum speed rating of the tire will damage the tire. This may also
lead to tire blowouts. Never exceed the maximum speed rating of the tires.
• Winter tires with a tread depth of less than 4 mm must be replaced immediately. Such
tires are no longer suitable for winter use and can no longer provide adequate grip. As
a result, you may lose control of your vehicle and cause an accident.
Brake Pad and Disc Inspection and
Maintenance
Lightly press the brake pedal occasionally when driving on rainy or icy roads so that the heat
generated by friction warms up and dries the brake pads. The same should be done when
driving in extremely wet or cold weather.
Take your vehicle for a quick ride after a car wash to dry the brake discs and avoid rusting.
The wear of brake pads and discs is largely determined by your driving habits and road
conditions. The driving distance may not be used to decide the degree of wear.
The high-performance braking system is used to realize the best comprehensive braking
performance at various vehicle speeds and temperatures. Therefore, under certain vehicle
speeds, braking force and environments (such as temperature and humidity), the braking
system may make a squeaky sound.
If the instrument cluster reminds you to replace the brake pads, please contact NIO for a
replacement as soon as possible.
Air Filter Inspection and Maintenance

Maintain and replace the air filter according to the specified service intervals to keep the air in
the cabin fresh. After replacement, enter Settings from the bottom left of the center display,
and touch Cabin Comfort > Air Filter Reminder to reset the reminder.
Keep the grille clear of any obstructions (e.g. leaves, snow) before driving.
12V Battery Maintenance

The 12V battery is mainly used to power the starting and electrical equipment of the vehicle.
It can be accessed by opening the panel on the left side of the trunk. To extend the service life
of the battery, please keep a sufficient battery level.
Warning
12V battery fluid is corrosive. If the fluid gets into the eyes or on the skin, rinse the eyes or
skin with running water and seek medical attention immediately.
Caution
• If the 12V battery is severely drained (e.g. having been left unused for a long time),
please contact NIO for assistance and do not replace it yourself.
• Before leaving the vehicle, please ensure that all electric systems, such as lights and
the media center, are turned off.
Note
After disconnecting and reconnecting the 12V battery, the automatic windows, window anti-
pinch and sunroof anti-pinch features will not be available.

please drive slowly or avoid obstacles to prevent your vehicle chassis or high voltage
battery pack from being damaged. If there is a collision or impact sound from the
bottom of your vehicle, please contact the NIO Service Center immediately for a
safety inspection of the chassis and high voltage battery pack and other components.
Warning
• The high voltage battery operates at a high voltage. Do not touch, move, or
disassemble the high voltage battery or its circuit without authorization. Doing so may
result in injury.
• Please be sure to charge the vehicle within 24 hours when the remaining driving range
is at zero. During this time, the charging speed will be limited until the battery level
reaches 50%. Failure to charge the vehicle within 72 hours may cause irreversible
damage to the high voltage battery.
High Voltage Battery Recycling

Used high voltage batteries are required to be properly recycled. During the vehicle service
and maintenance process, high voltage batteries that meet the following conditions shall be
recycled:
1. During the service and maintenance process for the high voltage battery at the NIO
Service Center, the battery capacity and status are tested. For batteries that shall be
recycled according to relevant laws and regulations, NIO shall bear the main
responsibility and recycle them based on the market conditions at that time.
2. In other cases where it is determined that the battery cannot continue to be used but is
in good condition, it can be recycled and reused in a cascading manner after simple
maintenance.
3. If the battery is severely malfunctioning or damaged, and cannot be utilized in a
cascading manner, it will enter the recycling process.

Cleaning and Maintaining the Exterior

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.
Warning
Do not wash the vehicle when it is in charging.

Caution
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.
Manual Cleaning
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.
Note
• 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.
Automatic Cleaning
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.
Caution
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.
High Pressure Cleaning

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.
Polishing and Waxing

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.
Wiper Blades
Wash wiper blades with lukewarm car shampoo. Do not use alcohol or cleaners that contain
petroleum products.
Windows and Side Mirrors

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.
Plastic Parts
Clean the plastic parts with common cleaning methods. For stubborn stains, only use
specialized solvent-free plastic cleaners to avoid corrosion.
Chrome Parts
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.
Wheels
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.
Underbody Protection
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.
Parking Radars
Be careful not to contaminate or damage the sensors on the front/rear bumpers during
maintenance.
Sunroof
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.
Cleaning and Maintaining the Interior

Regularly clean the interior with cleaners or conditioners to maintain the interior appearance.
Before using any cleaners, vacuum the interior first.
Note
• 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.
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.
Leather Interior
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.
Note
• 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.
Seat Belts
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.

High Voltage Battery

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.
DANGER:
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.
DANGER:
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.
Driving Motor
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.
Low voltage battery

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.
Airbags
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”.
SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS

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.
Air Suspension High Pressure Tank

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.

Tire Inflation
Warning
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.
Note
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.
You can inflate the tires with the tire inflator in the emergency kit. To inflate a flat tire:
1. Park the vehicle on a safe road, put on the reflective vest and set up the warning
triangle properly.
2. Open the emergency kit cover in the trunk to take out the tire inflator.
3. Connect the inflation hose on the side of the tire inflater to the valve stem on the tire.
4. Connect the power plug of the tire inflater to the 12V power socket in the vehicle.
5. 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.
6. If the tire is overinflated, press the pressure relief valve on the inflater.
7. After completing inflation, disconnect the inflater from the vehicle and stow it in the
emergency kit.
Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(dTPMS)
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.
Tire Chains
The ES8 does not come with tire chains, but you can purchase them yourself. Please pay
attention to the following points when using tire chains:
• 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.
Set Up Warning Signs

In the event of an emergency, drive the vehicle to a safe area while ensuring safety, then step
on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle; put the vehicle in Park, and turn on the hazard warning
lights on the center console to alert the surrounding people and vehicles.
1. Park gear switch

2. Hazard warning lights
Open the cover at the bottom of the rear trunk's storage space, and inside you will see the
vehicle kit, take out the warning triangle and reflective vest, put on the reflective vest and
place the warning triangle within 50 meters to 100 meters behind the vehicle (when it’s on an
expressway, place it 150 meters behind the vehicle; when it’s at night, place it 100 meters
further than the normal distance; in the event of rain and fog, place it 200 meters behind the
vehicle).
1. Warning triangle
2. Reflective vest
How to assemble the warning triangle:
1. Unfold the bracket under the triangle.

2. Unfold the sides of the triangle.
3. Fasten the snap button on the top of the triangle.
Call for Road Assistance

In case of accidents such as collisions, floods, or the risk of a battery pack fire, please set up
the warning triangle and leave your vehicle as soon as possible when the surrounding
environment is safe. Maintain a certain safe distance (over 15 meters) and call the NIO hotline
for a rescue, and the rescue team will come as soon as possible to provide assistance.
Warning
In the event of a battery fire risk, the vehicle will automatically cut off power and the
instrument cluster and center display will display a warning message. Make sure the
surrounding area is safe and promptly leave the vehicle to call for help.
• If the vehicle is connected to the network, you can press the SOS button on the roof to
call for road assistance (long press once, or short press twice), and you can cancel the
call on the center display within 8 seconds after making the call. The backlight of the
SOS button indicates the status of the SOS feature: a green light means that the SOS
feature is available; a green flashing light means that road assistance is being called; a
red light means that the SOS feature is unavailable, in such a situation you need to
contact NIO Service Center immediately.
Note
When the vehicle is connected to the Internet, it will automatically make an emergency call if
an accident occurs and the airbag inflates.
The 112-based E-Call In-vehicle System

The 112-based eCall in-vehicle system is mandatory for new vehicle models in all EU
countries. In the event of a severe accident, the eCall system can connect you to an
appropriate PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) via an audio link automatically if the
vehicle safety system is triggered, or manually if you press the SOS button on the roof
console.
The 112-based eCall in-vehicle system is activated by default. It is activated automatically

when the activation level for seat belt tensioners or airbags is reached in the event of a severe
accident. The 112-based eCall in-vehicle system can also be activated manually, if needed. To
activate the eCall manually, press the SOS button on the roof console for over 250
milliseconds and release the button within 10 seconds. The manual trigger is designed in such
a way as to avoid mis-operation. To terminate the calling, press and release the SOS button
again within five seconds after it is pressed the first time.
In the event of a critical system malfunction, the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system may be
impaired. The backlight of the SOS button indicates the status of the emergency call. Solid
green indicates the eCall system functions normally; flashing green indicates an emergency
call is in progress; flashing red indicates the eCall system has a minor fault but can still be
activated; solid red indicates the eCall system has a major fault and cannot be activated. In
this case, you can find the fault notification on the center display, and contact NIO if needed.
The processing of personal data through the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system is in line with
the personal data protection rules stipulated in Directives 95/46/EC (1) and 2002/58/EC (2) of
the European Parliament and of the Council, and in particular, is based on the necessity to
protect the vital interests of the individuals in accordance with Article 7(d) of Directive
95/46/EC (3). The processing of such data is strictly limited to the purpose of handling the
emergency call made to the single European emergency number 112 in emergency situations
within the meaning of Article 5(2) of Regulation (EU) 2015/758.
The 112-based E-Call in-vehicle system may collect and process only the following data:
• Vehicle Identification Number

• Vehicle type (passenger vehicle)
• Vehicle propulsion storage type (gasoline/diesel/CNG/LPG/electric/hydrogen)
• Vehicle last three locations and direction of travel. The recent vehicle locations are
selected by random so as to ensure that the IVS is not traceable and not subject to any
constant tracking.
• Estimated number of occupants onboard
• Log file of E-Call activation of the system and its timestamp
Recipients of data processed by the 112-based eCall in-vehicle system are the relevant public
safety answering points of the area where the vehicle is located. The data may be shared with
other parties such as police stations, fire stations, hospitals limited for emergency aid
purposes.
The 112-based eCall in-vehicle system is designed in such a way as to ensure that:
• Data stored in the system is not available outside the system before an eCall is
triggered.
• The system is not traceable and not subject to any constant tracking in its normal
operation status.
• Data stored in the system is automatically and continuously removed.
• The vehicle location data is constantly overwritten in the internal memory of the
system so as to keep the last three up-to-date locations of the vehicle necessary for the
normal functioning of the system.
• The log of activity data in the system is kept for no longer than necessary for attaining
the purpose of handling the emergency call and in any case no longer than 13 hours
after an emergency call is triggered.

Tire Repair
Warning
• 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.
Caution
• 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.
Note
• 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 safely on a flat and solid road as far away from traffic as possible and shift
into PARK. After putting on the reflective vest, setting up the warning triangle and turning on
the hazard warning lights, you can start repairing 19-inch and 20-inch tires with the tire
sealant and tire inflator in the emergency kit:
1. Park the vehicle on a safe road and set up the warning triangle in an appropriate
location.
2. Open the emergency kit in the trunk and take out the tire sealant canister and the tire
inflator.
3. 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.
4. 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).
5. Connect the power plug of the tire inflator to the 12V power socket in the vehicle.
6. 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.
Note
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.
7. Remove the inflation hose of the tire inflator from the tire valve and stow it in the
emergency kit.
8. 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.
9. 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.
Caution
• 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.
Jump Starting the Vehicle

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.
Caution
• 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:
1. 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

Tire Replacement
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.
Warning
• 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.
How to replace the tire:
1. Have a jack and a spare tire of the right specification ready for the tire replacement.
2. Place a block in front of the tire diagonally to the flat tire to prevent the vehicle from
sliding.
3. 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.
4. Use the wheel hub cover remover in the vehicle kit to remove the wheel hub covers,
and loosen the nuts counterclockwise with the wheel wrench.
Use the nut cover remover in the vehicle kit to remove the wheel hub covers, and
loosen the nuts counterclockwise with the wheel wrench.
Caution
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.
5. Place the jack below the correct jacking spot on the vehicle.
Warning
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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Check the tire pressure after the tire is replaced, inflate to the specified tire pressure if
necessary, then install the tire valve cap.
10. Put the tools, jack, and the flat tires away in a secure manner.
Protective Equipment for Rescue

Operations
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.
Warning
Remove all metal objects (such necklaces and watches) before carrying out any operation.
Failure to do so may increase the risk of electric shock.
Electrical protection
Please wear the following protective equipment to avoid high voltage electric shock injuries:
• Insulated rubber gloves (capable of insulating voltages above 500V)

• Tools with insulated protective sleeves
Chemical protection
If there is a risk of a battery leakage or a potential battery leakage, please wear the following
protective equipment to prevent damage to your skin and face:
• Protective mask
• Solvent resistant gloves
High Voltage Cutoff

To cut off the high voltage circuit, disconnect the emergency high voltage cutoff plug (located
under the hood and near the coolant reservoir), and then disconnect the cable connected to the
negative terminal of the 12V battery (located in the left area of the trunk).
To cut off the high voltage circuit:
1. Open the hood handle cover in the cabin (Figure 1) and pull the hood release cable to
unlatch the hood (Figure 2).
hood.
4. Disconnect the emergency high voltage cutoff plug to cut off the high voltage circuit.
Remove the plug and stow it appropriately.
5. Remove the 12V battery cover on the left side of the trunk and disconnect the cable
connected to the negative terminal of the battery. Wrap the cable with a protective
layer to avoid conduction due to accidental contact.
Towing a Vehicle that Had an Accident
Caution
• This vehicle is not suitable for traction with wheels on the ground. Do not use a
traction chain to tow the vehicle directly.
• When the vehicle is on snow, mud, or sand, or when the wheels are locked and unable
to rotate freely, do not use a towing hook to tow the vehicle. Please contact the NIO
service center.
If you need the vehicle to be towed, please call a flatbed trailer to transport the vehicle. How
to tow a vehicle:
1. Take out the hitch from the vehicle kit in the rear trunk.
2. Press the lower end of the front towing flap of the vehicle to open it (1 in the picture),
insert the hitch into the hole and rotate until the hitch is firmly seated (2 in the
picture). The rear hitch is installed in the same way as the front hitch.
3. Depress the brake pedal while the vehicle is in the P gear, go to the Settings page from
the leftmost side of the control bar at the bottom of the center display, and tap Driving
> "N" Mode. Now your vehicle will release the parking brake and enter traction
mode.
4. Power the vehicle off before towing, turn on the hazard warning lights, make sure that
there is no one in the vehicle and lock the entire vehicle.
5. Install the tow chain on the hitch and slowly tow the vehicle onto the flatbed.
6. After the vehicle is towed to the designated location on the flatbed, use brake stops
and wheel straps to fix the tires.
7. 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.
Warning
• 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.
Rescuing the Vehicle in Water

Caution
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.
Warning
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.
Rescuing Vehicle Fire

Warning
• 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.
Warning
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.
Rescuing the Vehicle with Battery Leakage

Warning
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 the high voltage battery leaks, it can generate high temperatures and even cause a fire.
Please cool the high voltage battery before handling the leaked liquid:
• 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.
Caution
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.
Vehicle Cutting Area

Warning
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.
