NOTE

Useful information

You could be electrocuted, seriously injured, or die if you attempt to perform your own service or repair on high-voltage systems.

Rivian vehicles contain lithium-ion battery packs, extremely high-voltage cables (400-450 V), electrical outlet cables (120 V), traditional car batteries (12 V), compressed gas, and triggering devices.

High-voltage components are identified by labels. Don’t remove, open, take apart, or modify these components. High-voltage cable or wiring has an orange covering. Don’t probe, tamper with, cut, or modify high-voltage cables or wiring. Always assume the vehicle is energized.

Rivian strongly recommends that you have all service and repair work done at a Rivian-authorized service center, mobile service vehicle, or repair facility.

Service and repair of high-voltage systems should only be performed by a trained technician with the proper knowledge and tools. It is dangerous to perform your own service or repair work on high-voltage systems. Exposure to high voltage can cause electrocution, severe injury, or death.

All vehicles ship with license plate brackets installed on the rear, and installed on the front by request. If your vehicle does not have a front license plate bracket installed, and you would like one, please contact Rivian.

Installation of a front license plate bracket requires the use of special tools and fasteners. We do not recommend installing the bracket yourself as improper installation can cause damage to the vehicle.

The following power outlets are available in the vehicle:

• 12 V

• 120 V

• USB-C

• Wireless Charger

• Use the USB-C outlets within the storage bin of the center console to charge and store data, such as security footage from the Gear Guard. These USB-C ports can support up to 60 W from a single port, with a total maximum capacity of 67.5 W for two ports.

• Use the USB-C outlets at the back of the head restraints, below the rear display screen, and near the armrests of the rear outboard seats for charging only. They are best suited for smaller electronic devices such as a phone or tablet. These USB-C ports can charge a max of 15 W from a single port, with a total maximum capacity of 30 W.

• Depending on your vehicle, not all outlets may be available.

• Don’t use an outlet to power any device that requires over 1,500 W (1.5 kW) of power. If the 120 V circuits overload, the power cuts off. Unplug devices before you turn the outlets back on.

• Don’t use more than one high-powered device at the same time. The 120 V outlets share the 1,500 W (1.5 kW) of power.

• Leaving the 120 V outlets powered on reduces the range of your vehicle, even if no devices are plugged in.

Rivian-supplied accessories work best with your vehicle. To reduce risk of fire or a thermal event, use caution when leaving non-Rivian devices plugged in and unattended. Don’t let objects obstruct any outlets in use.

To send power to the 120 V power outlets, 12 V and USB-C outlets, and the wireless charging pad:

1. Choose Energy from the app tray at the bottom of the center display, and then choose Outlets.

2. You have two options:

• Auto: Choose Auto if you want the outlets to automatically turn on when you use your vehicle and turn off when you leave.

• Timer: Choose Timer to set the timer to keep the outlets on for a certain length of time even if you leave the vehicle. Choose Update timer to start the timer. The outlets turn off when the timer ends.

• The Auto and Timer options can be active at the same time.

• While the timer is active, the outlets automatically turn off if the battery range becomes very low.

Using accessory power reduces your range.

6. Press and hold the shoulder anchor button and slide it up or down to adjust the shoulder belt height.

The shoulder belt should pass over the middle of the shoulder and across the chest without touching the neck. The seat belts aren’t meant to be used with any tension-relieving devices, such as “comfort clips.” Wearing the belt in an improper position or introducing slack to the belt could significantly reduce its effectiveness in an accident.

1. Press the release button on the buckle.

2. Allow the seat belt to retract slowly to avoid any twists.

3. Ensure that the belt has fully retracted to avoid closing the door on the belt or tongue plate.

Children should be in the rear seats and properly restrained in a child seat appropriate for their height and weight.

If the child is too big for a child seat, they can be restrained using the seat belt. For proper fit, the shoulder belt should cross over the child’s front and not touch the face or neck. The lap belt should be secured as low as possible on the hips and not on the child’s waist.

The lap belt should be worn securely and as low as possible over the hips and not over the waist. The shoulder belt should be worn between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen.

• Fasten the seat belts properly when operating the vehicle.

• If occupied front seats are unbuckled, the Seat Belt Reminder indicator lights up on the driver display, along with a notification. Under certain conditions, you’ll hear an audible warning.

• A heavy object placed on a seat could cause the Seat Belt Reminder indicator to remain on even when the seat is unoccupied.

If the seat belt pretensioners have been activated or are malfunctioning so that the seat belts can’t retract or pull out, the airbag indicators will appear on the driver display.

Use mild soap with water and a soft cloth to clean surface stains on the seat belt. Inspect the seat belts periodically for signs of damage, including wear and tear.

Don’t use bleach or other harsh substances to clean the belts because this can affect their strength and performance. Don’t make modifications to the seat belts that would prevent them from properly operating.

Adjust the seat to the proper position before operating the vehicle. Make sure the shoulder belt sits firmly across your chest and shoulder. Don’t operate the vehicle if there is a gap between the seat belt and your chest.

To avoid risk of injury or death from sudden stops, collisions, or improper use, do the following:

• Use one seat belt per person.

• Fasten seat belts before the vehicle starts to move to avoid risk of injury from sudden stops or collisions.

• Ensure that all seat belts are fastened securely.

• Ensure that the seat belt isn’t worn twisted or reversed.

• Wear the seat belt so that it rests over the shoulder without touching the neck. Don’t route the belt behind your back.

• Wear the lap belt as low as possible on your hips.

• Sit well back in the seat and in an upright position.

• Don’t tamper with or make modifications to the seat belt that will prevent it from taking up slack, such as using “comfort clips.” A slack seat belt could significantly reduce the effectiveness of the shoulder belt in an accident.

• Take care handling the metal portion of the seat belt as it can become very hot in sunny weather.

• Have a service professional routinely inspect all seat belt parts. In case of an accident, we recommend taking the vehicle to a Rivian certified collision center for a safety inspection. In some cases, seat belt parts in use during an accident may need to be replaced, even if there isn’t any visible damage.

To adjust the second-row center seat head restraint, pull up on the restraint until it locks in place.

To lower the head restraint, push the button at the bottom of the left head restraint rod while pushing down on the top of the head restraint.

Remove the head restraints from the second-row outboard seats by pushing the buttons at the bottom of the head restraint rods and lifting the head restraint straight up.

To reinstall the head restraint, align the rods with the holes at the top of the seat and push the top of the head restraint all the way down until it locks in place.

Pull the manual latch to the first notch to fold a third-row seat head restraint down.

All child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by the following:

• Lap belts

• Lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt

• Lower and tether anchorages (LATCH/ISOFIX)

• The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) requires that infants and small children be seated in an approved and appropriate child seat at all times while the vehicle is in motion.

• Properly secure the child seat before the vehicle is in motion, even if the child seat is unoccupied, because an unsecured child seat can injure passengers.

• Don’t install a child seat in any of the front seats to avoid serious injury and death to the child from the deployment of the airbags. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions.

• Properly secure child restraints in the vehicle to avoid endangering children in a crash.

• Sunny weather can heat up the metal portion of the seat belts. Use caution when seating a child and touching seat belts in the vehicle.

• You can use your Rivian account (user profile) to automatically move the driver’s seat to a desired position. However, ensure that the front seats are a safe and comfortable distance from a child seat or a child sitting directly behind them in the second row.

• Don’t dress children in bulky clothing when seating them in child seats since this may reduce the effectiveness of the restraint system.

• Don’t leave children unattended, even if they are secured in a child seat.

• Don’t use a child seat that has been involved in a collision, even if it doesn’t show any sign of damage.

1. Position the child seat either rear-facing or forward-facing on the vehicle’s seat.

If a forward-facing child seat requires a top tether, latch the hook into the tether anchorage behind the seat and tighten the belt.

2. Run the vehicle’s seat belt through the belt path as instructed by the child seat manufacturer instructions.

If installing a seat base that accompanies an infant bucket seat, you may need to clip the seat belt in place with the belt lock off as directed by the seat manufacturer.

3. Insert the tongue plate of the seat belt into the buckle until it clicks.

4. Pull on the lap belt to take up the slack and ensure a tight fit.

5. Pull out the shoulder belt fully from the retractor and then allow the belt to retract. The seat belt locks into place as it retracts.

6. Push the child seat down and toward the back cushion of the vehicle seat, taking out as much slack from the seat belt as possible.

Install the child seat snugly so that its base at the belt path cannot move more than 1 in (2.5 cm) from side to side. Ensure that the seat is firmly secured before driving the vehicle.

Only use the LATCH system to install child seats in accordance with the manufacturer recommendations, including considerations to the child’s height and weight. Follow instructions on child seat spacing with LATCH installation. Don’t use LATCH in addition to the seat belt installation method. For forward-facing installation, LATCH can provide more stability with the top tether anchorage since it has an additional connection point between the child seat and the vehicle.

In the second row of this vehicle, only the two outboard seats support LATCH installation. The middle seat supports child seats that can be restrained with the seat belt only.

The lower anchorages are marked with a symbol depicting a child seat with an arrow pointing to a hook, and are located between the seat cushion and seat back.

The upper anchorages are marked with a symbol depicting a child seat with an arrow pointing upwards, and are located on the back of the seats.

1. Find the two lower anchorage markers corresponding to where you are installing the child seat. The lower anchorage bars are located in between the seat cushion and seat back.

2. Grip the square frame of the anchorage guide on both sides and push the part onto the lower anchorage bars until the guide sits securely in place. The flanged edges of the anchorage guide should sit flush against the seat back.

Ensure the anchorage guide is installed as shown, not upside down.

To remove the anchorage guide, grip the square frame on both sides and pull it straight out.

Remove the anchorage guide before folding or flipping the seat.

1. Position the child seat between the two lower bar LATCH anchorages corresponding to where you are installing the child seat.

2. Connect the lower hooks of the child seat to the lower bar anchorages located in between the seat cushion and seat back. Avoid twisting the LATCH straps or snagging the vehicle seat belt.

3. For a child seat with tether belts, pull on the tethers to remove any slack. Push the child seat into the bottom and back cushions of the vehicle seat for a tight fit.

4. Attach the top tether hook to the appropriate top anchorage point and tighten the belt to remove any slack.

When you install or remove a child seat, ensure that the seat backs in the second and third rows are locked into a fully upright position. They should not be at a recline or folded forward.

Route the top tether belt over the center of the head restraint.

Route the two top tether belts to either side of the head restraint, wrapping the belts as close as possible to the head restraint without twisting them.

1. Position the booster seat in the front-facing position on the vehicle’s seat and place the child well back into the booster seat.

2. Run the vehicle’s seat belt through or around the booster seat and the child in accordance with the instructions that come with the booster seat. Ensure that the seat belt isn’t twisted or reversed.

3. Insert the tongue plate of the seat belt into the buckle until you hear a click.

4. Ensure that the shoulder belt rests over the child’s shoulder without touching the child’s neck and that the lap belt is as low as possible on the hips.

Check the placement of the seat belt for a child in a child seat. In the event of a collision or sudden braking, a high-positioned lap belt may increase the risk of injury to the abdomen or allow the child to slide under the belt.

Don’t allow a child to wear the shoulder belt under the arm or behind the back.

1. Press the release button on the buckle.

2. Guide the seat belt out of the belt path of the child seat.

3. Allow the seat belt to fully retract to avoid any twists. The seat belt returns to normal function and the locking mechanism deactivates after the seat belt returns to its fully retracted position.

For child seats installed with LATCH, reverse the procedures of LATCH installation to remove the seat. See the child seat manufacturer’s instructions for additional details.

The Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) causes the seat belt to lock when pulled very quickly. ALR can be used to secure a child seat.

Activate ALR:

1. Draw out the seat belt completely.

2. Retract the seat belt to the desired length to activate locking the seat belt in that position. Once locked, the seat belt cannot be extended further.

Cancel ALR:

Restore the seat belt to normal function by unbuckling and retracting the seat belt fully. Cancel ALR when removing a child seat.

ALRs are different from Emergency Locking Retractors (ELRs), which are designed to allow occupants to move freely once the seat belt is buckled, but lock up in the event of an accident. ALRs are only equipped on passenger seats.

The airbag system sensors predict the severity of a crash when the crash conditions reach a certain threshold. When the threshold is reached, the specific restraints will deploy. If there is significant vehicle deceleration, the airbags deploy instantly with a loud sound.

Not all collisions deploy the airbags. For example, certain low severity collisions and rear collisions don’t deploy the airbags.

The front passenger seat has an Occupant Classification System that determines whether the seat is occupied. Under certain conditions, it deactivates the airbag.

Before you drive the vehicle, the Airbag Status indicator appears in the driver display for a few seconds during the initial function check when you start the vehicle. After the function check, the Airbag Status indicator turns off.

The status of the front passenger airbag is conveyed by a status indicator that illuminates on the center display. The Passenger Airbag Off indicator consists of an icon and the words “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF.”

• If the Passenger Airbag Off indicator is turned on (illuminated), then the front passenger airbag system is deactivated.

• If the Passenger Airbag Off indicator is turned off (not illuminated), then the front passenger airbag system is active.

• First row driver and passenger airbags, designed to work with seat belts

• First row seat belts with pretensioner and seat belt usage sensors

• Seat belts with pretensioners in the second row outboard seating positions

• Driver seat position sensor

• First row driver and passenger knee airbags

• First row side airbag

• First and second roof rail airbags

• First row passenger occupant classification system

• Front crash sensors

• Side and rollover crash sensors

• Restraints control module

• Restraints warning lamp and tone

• High-voltage disconnect

• Electrical wiring that interfaces with the airbag sensor, seat belts, pretensioners, and high-voltage system

Passengers, including children, should not lean against or sleep on the side windows or doors, even if they are in a child restraint. The roof rail and side airbags need room to inflate and could cause severe injury or death if passengers are too close to the airbags. Always wear seat belts, even though you have roof rail and side airbags.

Maintain a distance of at least 10 in (25 cm) between the driver’s chest and the driver’s airbag, as recommended by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Never place a rear-facing child seat in front of an active airbag. The safest place for children 12 years old and under is in the rear seats in a suitable child restraint.

Don’t place objects on or near the airbags. Objects in front of the airbags can cause serious injury if the airbags deploy in a severe collision.

Don’t mount equipment or place objects along the interior headliner or on the vertical pillars near the seat belts. Such objects may prevent the side or roof rail airbags from deploying in a severe collision.

Don’t install seat covers. Seat covers could prevent the side airbags from inflating.

The OCS is designed to deactivate the front passenger airbag under these conditions:

• The front passenger seat is unoccupied.

• The front passenger seat is occupied by a child (with or without a child restraint).

• The front passenger takes their weight off the seat for a period of time.

• If there are only lightweight objects on the front passenger seat.

• If there is a problem with the airbag system or OCS.

If any of the above conditions are present, the front passenger airbag system is deactivated.

To ensure that the Occupant Classification System (OCS) is properly classifying the front seat occupant, the occupant must:

• Sit upright on the center of the seat cushion, with shoulders and back resting against the seat back, and with legs comfortably extended on the floor.

• Remain seated on the center of the seat cushion for the duration of the trip.

The OCS may not classify the front seat occupant properly if the occupant does any of the following:

• Fails to sit in an upright position.

• Leans against the door or center console.

• Sits toward the front edge of the seat.

• Puts their legs and feet on the dashboard.

• Pulls the seat belt all the way out activating the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR).

If an occupant of adult size is sitting in the front passenger seat, but the Passenger Airbag Off indicator on the center display is turned on (illuminated), it is possible that the occupant is not sitting properly in the seat. If this happens:

• Have the occupant sit upright on the center of the seat cushion, with shoulders and back resting against the seat back, and with legs comfortably extended on the floor.

• It takes approximately 8 seconds after sitting in the seat for the OCS to accurately report the status of the front passenger airbag on the center display. After 8 seconds, if the airbag status is still incorrect, instruct your passenger to sit properly in the rear seats. Do not allow an occupant to sit in the front passenger seat.

Certain conditions can also interfere with the accuracy of the OCS. To ensure that the OCS is properly classifying the front seat occupant, eliminate the following:

• Objects under the seat.

• Heavy objects placed on the seat (luggage, briefcase, large purse, or groceries).

• Objects wedged between the seat back and seat cushion.

• Objects wedged between the seat cushion and center console.

• Heavy objects on the occupant’s lap.

• Car seat accessories like seat covers, cushions, heavy blankets, or massagers on the seat structure.

You won’t be able to drive the vehicle after airbags are deployed or if the vehicle has been in a severe rear crash. An internal safety device automatically shuts off the high-voltage system when the airbags deploy. The vehicle will need to be towed to a repair shop and then repaired to drivable condition.

The vehicle has a roof rail airbag on both the driver side and passenger side. The roof rail airbag deploys during certain front or side crashes, or when the rollover sensor predicts a near-rollover or rollover accident. If a front or roof rail airbag deploys, the Airbag Malfunction indicator lights up in the driver display.

Some airbag system components, such as inflators, may be hot after airbags deploy. To reduce the risk of injury, don’t touch the airbag system components after they inflate.

To determine where to place a toll device, follow instructions provided by the toll collection company.

Placing a toll device on the interior of the windshield behind the rearview mirror does not interfere with the sensor for the garage door opener.

1. Go to your driver profile on the center display.

2. Choose Side mirrors.

3. Use the thumb controls and buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to adjust the driver-side mirror. Use the controls on the right side of the steering wheel to adjust the passenger-side mirror.

4. Choose Remember to save the settings. After you save the settings to your driver profile, the side mirrors will automatically adjust when you unlock the vehicle from the outside.

Go to Settings > Vehicle > Access on the center display to enable or disable automatic fold and unfold of the side mirrors. If automatic fold is enabled, the side mirrors fold when the vehicle locks with an external key and unfold when the vehicle unlocks with an external key.

In below freezing temperatures, it’s possible for side mirrors to freeze in the folded position. To prevent this, disable automatic mirror folding when freezing conditions are expected.

Side mirrors automatically unfold if you drive above 15 mph (25 km) even if automatic unfolding is disabled.

Go to Settings > Vehicle > Access on the center display to override automatic folding and fold or unfold the side mirrors manually. Use this feature when you want to control mirror behavior in situations such as tight parking spaces or driving off-road.

To avoid damage to the side mirrors, ensure that the automatic fold and unfold option is turned off if you park the vehicle in a tight space. If the side mirror automatic unfold feature is turned on, the side mirrors unfold automatically when you approach the vehicle with a key.

Side mirrors automatically tint at night in response to the ambient lighting sensors in the rearview mirror. Side mirrors also tint when the rearview mirror’s sensors detect more light from the rear of the vehicle. Go to Settings > Vehicle > Access on the center display to enable or disable this function.

Side mirrors don’t tint when the vehicle is in Reverse or Park.

Use the climate control system to defrost the side mirrors.

• Position the rearview mirror by adjusting it manually.

• The mirror tints automatically based on the ambient lighting. It does not tint when the car is in Park or Reverse.

Don’t spray liquid directly onto the rearview mirror. The electronics inside shouldn’t get wet. To clean the mirror, spray cleaning liquid on a cloth and wipe the mirror.

Check the inflation pressure of the tires, including the spare tire (if equipped), monthly with an accurate tire pressure gauge. The recommended cold inflation pressures are listed on the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver’s door pillar.

View the tire pressures on the driver display. On the left side of the steering wheel, long-press either thumb control button to cycle through the efficiency graph, tire pressure displays, and navigation map.

Inflate the tires with the optional onboard air compressor.

Use the tire sealant kit and optional spare tire if you need to seal or change a flat tire.

• Install the compact spare on the vehicle before you inflate it. Inflate the compact spare tire to the recommended pressure of 61 psi (420 kPa).

• Do not exceed the maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) on the compact spare.

• Replace the compact spare with a full-size tire as soon as possible.

1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s placard.

2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.

4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs (635 kg) and there are five 150 lb (68 kg) passengers in your vehicle, the available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs) or 295 kg (635-340 (5 x 68) = 295 kg).

5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.

6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

Trailer loads transfer to the vehicle. You must include the trailer load when calculating cargo capacity.

The R1S can tow up to 7,700 lbs (3,492 kg) using a weight distributing hitch, and up to 5,000 lbs (2,267 kg) using a standard hitch.

The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the R1S is 8,532 lbs (3870 kg).

Don’t overload the tires. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase stopping distance.

Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A. The U.S. Department of Transportation requires the following information:

Treadwear: The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear under one-and-a-half (1-1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

Traction – AA, A, B, and C: The traction grades from highest to lowest are AA, A, B, and C and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. Tires marked C may have poor traction performance. The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.

Temperature – A, B, and C: The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades A and B represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

Summer tires (tires that do not have both M+S and 3PMS markings) are not recommended for use in winter conditions, with snow traction devices, or at temperatures below 40°F.

The vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with individual tire pressure display. If one of the tires is significantly under-inflated, a low tire pressure indicator appears on the driver display.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.

Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure.

Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.

The vehicle is equipped with TPMS sensors in the valve stem of each wheel. When you start driving, the sensors automatically connect to the TPMS module and begin the automatic learning process, which takes less than 10 minutes. After the learning process finishes, the TPMS sensor transmits the pressure values for each of the front and rear tires to the in-vehicle displays.

The full-size spare tire (if equipped) has a TPMS sensor that remains passive until you install the full-size spare as a driving wheel. After installing the full-size spare tire, you may have to drive for up to 10 minutes to allow the TPMS sensor to complete the automatic learning process.

The compact spare tire (if equipped) doesn’t have a TPMS sensor and does not display tire pressure.

• To avoid damage to the TPMS sensor, replace the valve stem cap to keep dirt away from the valve and sensor.

• If the tire is warm, fill the tire to 4 psi (27 kPa) above the recommended cold tire placard pressure because the tire pressure decreases when the tire cools. The low pressure warning is not active if the tire is warm and the pressure is above the cold tire placard pressure value.

• You may have to drive above 18 mph (30 km/h) for up to 10 minutes before the vehicle displays a pressure.

An underinflated tire may fail, which could cause a sudden loss of vehicle control that may result in personal injury or death.

• Don’t use the Tire Pressure Monitoring System as a pressure gauge when you fill the tires.

• The Tire Pressure Monitoring System isn’t designed for aftermarket wheels.

• If you replace the tires, use the same size and style as the tires provided by Rivian.

The brake calipers may be hot after you drive the vehicle. To avoid burns, remove the aerodynamic wheel covers when the wheels and brakes are cool.

Follow these steps to remove the aerodynamic wheel cover.

1. Put your hand into the valve stem opening of the wheel cover and pull the cover away from the wheel.

2. Put your hand under the closest tab and pull up firmly. Move to the next tab, pull up on the cover, and continue around the wheel until the cover is removed.

3. To reinstall the aerodynamic wheel cover, place the cover on the wheel and press firmly to secure it.

Be sure to press between the tabs, not on them.

Ensure your router or extender uses Wi-Fi Protected Access 2-Advanced Encryption Standard (WPA2-AES) encryption for wireless security. The vehicle doesn’t support Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) or Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption so it won’t show or connect to networks using TKIP or WEP.

Ensure the Wi-Fi network doesn’t use a captive portal, which is used by some cafes or hotels to manage Wi-Fi access. The vehicle may initially connect but it won’t support internet access through a captive portal. If you’ve previously saved a captive portal network, remove it from the list of saved networks to prevent an automatic connection.

If your vehicle is near or at a Rivian facility, such as a service center or office, a Rivian-only network named “RivianVehicles” may appear on the list of available Wi-Fi networks. Your vehicle may automatically connect to this secure network. Your vehicle connects to “RivianVehicles” under the following conditions:

The vehicle’s Wi-Fi is enabled.

The vehicle is near or at a Rivian facility.

The vehicle is within range of the “RivianVehicles” network.

You can manually connect your vehicle to “RivianVehicles” if your vehicle is currently connected to a different Wi-Fi network.

Several USB-C power outlets are available in the vehicle cabin.

Use the USB-C outlets within the storage bin of the center console to charge and store data, such as security footage from the Gear Guard.

Use the USB-C outlets at the back of the head restraints, below the rear display screen, and near the armrests of the rear outboard seats for charging only.

Once you power on your vehicle, you can charge your Qi-compatible phone and other rechargeable, battery-operated devices on the high-speed wireless charger located on the upper tray of the center console. Place the phone face-up on the charger to begin charging, aligning the phone against the center rib of the charging pad. You’ll see an active charging icon on your device if this is a supported feature. Charging times may vary depending on the device and applications running on the device, but it takes around 2 to 3 hours to fully charge a depleted phone.

The charger is designed to work with phones encased in most standard phone cases.

While you can charge two phones at the same time, the charging pad is designed to work best simultaneously charging a phone and another small item such as ear buds. The charging pad has a temperature sensor, and it stops charging if a device or environment is too hot.

To avoid damage to the charging pad, don’t put metallic or magnetic objects on the pad or between the phone and charger. The charging pad is only meant to hold a compatible device with a rechargeable battery, such as a phone. Don’t leave items such as key cards or credit cards on the pad. While the charging pad will not damage a key card, the presence of a card on the pad will prevent charging.

Regenerative braking happens automatically when you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal. This captures energy and increases range. It also saves wear and tear on the brake pads. Regenerative Braking Assist is an automatically enabled feature that helps create a smoother driving experience with more consistent deceleration by augmenting regenerative braking when needed.

Regenerative Braking Assist is unavailable when you’re towing a trailer.

You can choose the following regenerative braking settings from Drive Modes > Brake Regen in the center display:

Standard: Moderate regenerative braking. Standard is the default setting for all modes except Snow and Soft Sand modes.

High: Stronger regenerative braking. The vehicle slows down faster and captures more energy.

Low: Limited regenerative braking. Low is the default setting for Snow and Soft Sand modes and is not available in other modes.

The brake lights automatically illuminate during regenerative braking to warn other drivers when the vehicle slows down.

Regenerative braking may be reduced temporarily when the vehicle battery is cold, fully charged, or almost fully charged. Press the brake pedal to slow or stop the vehicle.

The anti-lock braking system prevents the wheels from locking up while you press the brake pedal. This helps you maintain control of the vehicle when stopping suddenly or on slippery or low-grip surfaces.

If the speaker doesn’t work as intended, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:

The rechargeable battery may explode if it is incorrectly replaced. Contact Rivian for battery replacement. The speaker forces a shutdown to protect the battery if the temperature falls outside the range of -4 to +140°F (-20 to +60°C).

Read and keep these instructions.

Heed all warnings and follow all instructions.

Clean only with a soft dry cloth. Household cleaners or solvents can damage the finish.

Openings are for ventilation. To prevent damage caused by overheating, don’t block openings.

Don’t install near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other devices that produce heat.

Avoid leaving the speaker in direct sunlight or near excessive heat. Don’t leave the speaker on seats, on top of the center console, on the floor of the vehicle, or close to a campfire.

Temperatures that exceed 185°F (85°C) can damage the speaker.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, don’t expose the speaker to a heavy rainstorm.

The lantern light quickly flashes red before it shuts down to indicate that the speaker has become too hot or too cold.

Only use attachments or accessories specified by the manufacturer, such as a USB-C cable.

Cables plugged into the speaker shouldn’t be pinched or knotted. Ensure that people can’t walk or trip on the cables.

Unplug attachments and accessories from the speaker during lightning storms and when you store the speaker for a long period of time.

Refer all service requests to qualified service personnel with Rivian. Service is required if the speaker doesn’t function normally or it is damaged in any way, such as through exposure to spilled liquids, excessive rain, or moisture.

• When in use for the Three-Person Tent, ensure that the ladder angle is between 75° and 90°.

• Inspect the rooftop tent mounting hardware before each use. If necessary, clean the hardware with a solution of mild detergent and water. Periodically lubricate the threads on the hardware with a light, synthetic bicycle lubricant.

• Dry the rooftop tent thoroughly before you close it. If unable to properly dry your rooftop tent, open it up to air-dry at your earliest opportunity.

• Failure to properly dry out the tent may cause growth of mold or mildew, which can degrade the tent material, and cause a foul odor.

• Store the tent in a cool, dry indoor location when not in use to prolong its life. Ensure that the tent is fully dry before you store it. Pick a location that is free from direct sunlight.

• Pull the zippers with a gentle and even force. Never force a zipper open or closed as it may damage the zipper. Keep your zippers free from dust and dirt. Periodically apply a non-scented beeswax to the zipper teeth as lubrication.

• Wipe dirt and dust from the ladder before collapsing the tent.

• Periodically wipe down the aluminum telescoping side rails of the ladder with silicone spray and a cloth. Do not apply silicon spray on the ladder tread surfaces.

• Keep your mattress dry and free from dirt. Before closing your rooftop tent, lift your mattress and ensure the underside is dry. Remove the mattress and air-dry if necessary.

• To clean the mattress cover, remove it and machine wash on a gentle cycle setting with Woolite® detergent. Hang dry. Do not tumble dry.

• To clean the outside of your rooftop tent, use a sponge with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse clean with a wet sponge. Allow the tent to dry thoroughly.

• To clean mold or mildew, clean the affected tent fabric with a sponge and a solution of 8 oz (0.24 L) Lysol® mixed with 128oz (3.8L) of hot water. Allow the tent to dry thoroughly. Next, prepare a solution of 8 oz (0.24 L) lemon juice concentrate and 1 c (300 g) salt mixed into 128oz (3.8L) of hot water. Sponge the solution directly into the affected areas to rinse out the Lysol solution. Then allow the tent to air dry thoroughly. These actions can stop the growth of the mildew and help eliminate odor. However, this procedure may not remove the stains.

The Cargo Crossbar set is an optional Adventure Gear product and includes:

• 2 crossbars

• 2 locking keys

The vehicle has accessory ports on its roof. Vehicles with truck beds have additional accessory ports on the truck bed rails.

Carefully handle the Cargo Crossbars and heavy accessories to avoid breaking or damaging the glass roof panels. Ask a friend to help install the crossbars on the roof. Remove accessories from the crossbars before you mount the crossbars on the vehicle.

1. Adjust the width of the crossbars by extending them over the accessory ports on the vehicle.

2. After you adjust the crossbar width, lift up the crossbar paddle while setting the crossbar into the accessory port. You should hear one click.

3. Center the crossbar in the accessory port, then push the paddle down until you hear a second click. You may need to apply some additional downward force to fully latch the crossbar into the accessory port. If you do not hear two clicks, the crossbar may not be latched. Reinstall the crossbar in the accessory port.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to latch the remaining crossbar ends into the accessory ports.

1. Lock the crossbars with the key by turning clockwise.

2. Push the crossbar paddle all the way down to cover the lock cylinder.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 on the remaining crossbar ends to ensure the crossbars are fully locked.

Secure crossbars and loads before and after driving, especially when you travel through rough terrain. Loose crossbars and unsecured loads could cause a serious crash. Do not drill holes in the crossbars. Only use manufacturer recommended parts and accessories. Modifications or accessories not provided by the manufacturer will void the manufacturer’s warranty. The owner assumes liability for any damage or crashes caused by unauthorized modifications.

Do not exceed the maximum specified load for the Cargo Crossbars. Be aware of overall vehicle payload capacities when you load the Cargo Crossbars. Refer to the Tire and Loading Information label and Load Carrying Capacity Modification label (if included) on the driver’s door pillar for the maximum allowable vehicle payload.

• The maximum dynamic (driving) load is 250 lbs (113 kg) per crossbar pair.

• The maximum static (parked) load is 780 lbs (353 kg). For example, when the vehicle is parked at a campsite with a rooftop tent, the maximum roof load is 780 lbs (353 kg) per crossbar pair.

Evenly distribute the load on the crossbars. Maintain a low center of gravity for the load.

Any load that extends over the windshield must be secured to the front and rear of the vehicle, in addition to the Cargo Crossbars. Failure to do so can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.

1. Push up the crossbar paddle halfway to access the lock.

2. Unlock the crossbar with the key.

3. Lift the paddle while you raise the crossbar to disengage the crossbar from the accessory port.

4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for the remaining crossbar ends. Carefully remove the crossbars from your vehicle.

Clean the crossbars with a solution of water and standard car wash liquid. Do not use cleaners that contain bleach, ammonium, or alcohol. Remove the crossbars when not in use.

Over time, the crossbar latching mechanism may need adjustment. Contact Rivian if the crossbar does not securely latch in the accessory ports.

The cargo cover is a retractable cover that is available as an option for all R1S trim levels. You can use it to shade your cargo from damaging ultraviolet rays or to obscure your cargo.

To install the cargo cover with third-row seats down, do the following:

1. Hold the cover with the flap facing the rear door of the vehicle.

2. Ensure the raised side of the cargo cover flap is on top.

3. Insert one end of the cover into either the left or right side notch closest to the front of the vehicle. The ends of the cargo cover are spring loaded.

4. Push the other end and snap it into the corresponding notch on the opposite side.

To install the cargo cover with third-row seats up, do the following:

1. Hold the cover with the flap facing the rear door of the vehicle.

2. Ensure the raised side of the cargo cover flap is on top.

3. Insert one end of the cover into either the left or right side notch closest to the rear door. The ends of the cargo cover are spring loaded.

4. Insert one end of the cover into either the left or right side notch closest to the rear door.

To draw the cover over the cargo area, do the following:

1. Hold the flap firmly and pull it toward the rear of the vehicle.

2. Insert the ends into the corresponding notches.

1. Pull the tabs on both ends out of the notches.

2. Let the cover retract fully.

4. Lift the other side from the opposite notch.

Car Wash mode is a setting that you can turn on from the center display through Quick Controls. When Car Wash mode is on, the climate system defaults to Air Recirculation to close outer vents and prevent water and suds from entering the vehicle. Car Wash mode does the following:

• Rolls up all windows

• Closes the door handles

• Closes the charge port door if the vehicle is not charging

• Mutes parking sensor alert chimes

• Prevents the automatic windshield wipers from activating

• Suppresses the automatic switching between Day and Night themes

• Suppresses proximity lock and unlock

When the vehicle is in Car Wash Mode, the exterior door handles will present if you unlock the vehicle with an exterior key. To open an unlocked door if the handles are not presenting, push on the indent on the door handle.

The vehicle speed must be below 12 mph (19 km/h) to enable Car Wash mode. Car Wash mode defaults to “off” after a vehicle restart.

You can use standard car wash services to clean the vehicle. Ensure that you observe any rules posted by the car wash, and that the vehicle’s windows are fully up and side mirrors are folded in before entering the car wash. If you have not turned on Car Wash mode, lock the vehicle to prevent the charge port door from opening.

For “touchless” car washes where you are not required to drive on a rail, put the vehicle in Park.

For car washes where you are required to drive on a rail, do the following:

1. From a Park position, turn on Car Wash mode.

If Vehicle Hold engages while in Neutral, press the brake pedal to release Hold.

2. Put the vehicle in Neutral by using the drive stalk or choosing the on-screen button to Shift To Neutral.

When Car Wash mode is on and you are in Neutral, your vehicle will stay in Neutral even if you leave the driver’s seat. The vehicle will not go into Hold or Park. Be cautious when using Car Wash mode in Neutral, and only use this mode on flat ground to prevent the vehicle from rolling.

To maintain the paint and coating on your vehicle, wash it before excessive dirt builds up. Roll up all windows and close and lock all doors. Do not use hot water, and do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.

Do not wash, wax, or coat the windshield with products containing water repellent. These products can affect rain detection, preventing the automatic wiper function from working correctly.

Before you wash the vehicle, ensure that the vehicle is not currently charging. Washing the vehicle while it charges creates an electrocution risk, which can lead to injuries as well as vehicle and property damage. Avoid spraying water at any electronics or exposed cabling.

You may have configured your User Profile setting that is linked to the Rivian mobile app. If you have not turned on Car Wash mode, you can turn off Bluetooth® on your phone to prevent the handles and charge port door from potentially opening mid-wash.

You can use a hose or a standard pressure washer to wash the vehicle. Use a side-to-side sweeping motion to avoid prolonged concentrated pressure to a single area.
