RIVIAN R1T 2025 (01) PDF MANUAL

The following are the meanings of symbols used in this guide.

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.

NOTE: All vehicles ship with license plate brackets installed on the rear, and installed on the front by request.

CAUTION: 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.

White truck bed lights in each sidewall illuminate gear and cargo.

Turn on the truck bed lights through one of the following:

• Automatic Options: Open the tailgate, or open or close the powered tonneau cover, if equipped.

• Manual Options: Choose Vehicle from the status bar on the center display, or press the tailgate button on the exterior bed rail while the tailgate is open and unlocked.

The truck bed lights turn off under the following conditions:

• The tailgate closes.

• If equipped, the power tonneau cover closes while the tailgate is closed.

• Press the tailgate button on the exterior bed rail while the tailgate is open.

• Choose Vehicle from the status bar on the center display.

• Shift the vehicle from Park to Reverse, Neutral, or Drive.

If the truck bed lights were automatically turned on, they also turn off under the following conditions:

• The timer expires after 2 minutes.

• The vehicle becomes locked.

If the truck bed lights were manually turned on, they also turn off under the following conditions:

• The timer expires after 10 minutes.

• Lock the vehicle from the Rivian mobile app.

• If you have a key fob, double press the lock button.

NOTES

• After the truck bed lights turn off, you have 30 seconds to turn them on again while the vehicle is locked: press the tailgate button on the exterior bed rail while the tailgate is open.

• The truck bed lights won’t automatically turn on if you chose Stay off in the Camping app.

The following power outlets are available in the vehicle:

• 12 V

• 120 V

• USB-C

• Wireless Charger

NOTES

• 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 and below the rear display screen 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.

DANGER: 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 in the Gear Tunnel.

• Don’t let objects obstruct any outlets being used.

• If you use a powered device not supplied by Rivian, turn off and unplug the 120 V outlet before you close the Gear Tunnel doors.

• Objects in the Gear Tunnel may shift as you drive. Use caution when opening the Gear Tunnel doors.

CAUTION

• 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.

Accessory power allows you to keep your vehicle powered on even when you walk away from your vehicle, lock the car, or restart the vehicle. A visual indicator appears in the center of the status bar to alert you if the power is on.

NOTE: Using accessory power reduces your range.

The 12 V and USB-C outlets, as well as the wireless charging pad, are always on when the vehicle is in use. Turn on Outlets to keep the power on when you are away from your vehicle.

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.

NOTES

• Lumbar support adjustment is available on some vehicle packages.

• If the driver’s seat loses calibration, recalibrate the seat.

1. Adjust the seat to an upright position.

2. Sit with your back and hips against the back of the seat.

3. Hold the tongue plate and pull the belt toward the buckle.

NOTE: Avoid twisting the seat belt, and avoid quick or jerky movements to prevent the belt from locking.

4. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle until you hear a click.

5. Adjust the lap belt to be as low as possible on the hips.

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

WARNING: 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. 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. See also Child Seats.

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.

You should 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. Contact Rivian for assistance or service.

Modifications or front-end attachments to the vehicle, such as bars, winches, or snow plows, may affect seat belt pretensioner sensors. Don’t modify the vehicle with parts not approved by Rivian.

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. Contact Rivian to schedule service for your seat belts.

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.

Front Seat Head Restraints: The driver’s seat and passenger seat are equipped with integrated head restraints. The head restraints aren’t adjustable.

Rear Outboard Seat Head Restraints: The rear outboard seat head restraints aren’t adjustable.

To adjust the rear 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.

DANGER: Lift the rear center seat head restraint into its locked position before a passenger occupies the seat to help minimize the risk of injuries (including injuries of the neck) in the event of a crash. The driver should not operate the vehicle until the head restraint is in the locked position.

Removal: Remove the head restraints from the rear outboard seats by pushing the buttons at the bottom of the head restraint rods and lifting the head restraint straight up.

Re-installation: 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.

CAUTION: Removal and re-installation of the rear outboard seat head restraints should only be performed by qualified service personnel.

DANGER: Ensure the outboard head restraints are all the way down into the locked position before a passenger occupies the outboard seats to help minimize the risk of injuries, including neck injuries, in the event of a crash. The driver should not operate the vehicle until the outboard head restraints are in the locked position.

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)

DANGER

• 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.

WARNING

• 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.

Children should sit in the rear seats, properly restrained in child or booster seats appropriate for their height and weight. Use a child seat that meets the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and is appropriate for the child’s age, height, and weight. Also check child seat usage recommendations with local and state laws, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Compliance documentation can either be found on a sticker affixed to the child seat or in the instructions included with the seat. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing a child seat in the vehicle. Before you purchase a child seat, determine if the seat is compatible with your vehicle.

Follow the state and seat manufacturer guidelines for whether to install the child seat rear- or forward-facing. If a child seat can’t be installed securely in the rear-center seating position, install it on an outboard seat.

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.

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.

IMPORTANT: 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.

LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) or ISOFIX is a child seat installation option that allows you to install child seats without using the vehicle’s seat belts. Instead, the child seats are secured to dedicated anchorage points on the vehicle seats.

Only use the LATCH system in accordance with the manufacturer recommendations. Don’t use LATCH in addition to the seat belt installation method.

IMPORTANT: 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 and are located between the seat cushion and seat back.

The upper anchorages are marked with a symbol and are located on the rear seat anchor trim directly behind the seats.

These anchorage guides make the lower LATCH anchorage points more visible and hold open the cushions, letting you use less force to clip on the child seat lower anchorages.

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.

Notes on Anchorage Guides:

• 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.

Installation Steps:

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.

IMPORTANT: When you install a child seat, ensure that the seat cushion is firmly in place, and not lifted to access the under-seat storage bin.

The second-row seats come with three upper (tether) anchorages and four lower (bar) anchorages, two for each outboard seat.

Single Tether: Route the top tether belt over the center of the head restraint.

Double Tether: 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.

WARNING: 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.

To remove a seat secured with the seat belt:

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.

To remove a seat secured 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.

NOTE: 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.

This vehicle is equipped with supplemental restraint system (SRS) airbags, designed to help protect the driver and passengers from injuries. The airbags supplement the crash protection provided by correctly fastened seat belts.

The supplemental airbags are not a substitute for wearing seat belts. All occupants, including the driver, should wear their seat belts. Failure to use seat belts increases the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash.

The airbags don’t require routine maintenance. If it is necessary to modify the airbag system for a person with disabilities, contact Rivian. The modification may affect the function of the advanced airbag system.

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.

If the airbag system has a fault, the Airbag Status indicator remains on. Contact Rivian for repair.

The components in the safety system monitored by the indicator are as follows:

• 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

• Chassis stability control sensors

Airbag inflators are positioned around passengers in the cabin.

DANGER: 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.

DANGER

• 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.

DANGER

• 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.

Your vehicle is equipped with an Occupant Classification System (OCS) in the front passenger seat. The OCS is an electronic system designed to determine whether the front passenger seat is unoccupied, occupied by a child, or occupied by an adult-and then determine whether the front passenger airbag should be enabled. The purpose is to reduce the risk of injury or death caused by an inflating airbag to a child seated in the front passenger seat.

If a child is seated in the front passenger seat (with or without a child restraint), the OCS will detect the child and deactivate the front passenger airbag. Rivian highly recommends that all children 12 years old and younger be properly restrained in a rear seat.

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.

The Occupant Classification System (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.

To ensure that the 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. Contact Rivian immediately to have the airbag system checked.

Certain conditions can 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.

It is critical that vehicle occupants sit properly in their seat. Occupants should sit upright on the center of the seat cushion, with their shoulders and back resting against the seat back, and with their legs comfortably extended on the floor. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.

Sitting improperly can increase the risk of injury or death, even in low-speed collisions. For example, if an occupant sits out of position on the front edge of the seat cushion, turns sideways, or puts one or two feet on the dashboard, the chance of injury during a crash greatly increases.

DANGER

• Follow the proper seating instructions. Failure to do so can interfere with the accuracy of the Occupant Classification System (OCS) and result in serious injury or death.

• The status of the front passenger airbag is shown by the indicator light located on the center display. If the airbag status is incorrect, instruct your passenger to sit properly in the rear seats. Do not allow an occupant to sit in the front passenger seat. Contact Rivian immediately to have the airbag system checked. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death to the occupant.

• Do not make any modifications or alternations to the front passenger seat. Doing so can interfere with the accuracy of the OCS and result in serious injury or death.

DANGER

• Although your vehicle is equipped with an OCS, both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Rivian highly recommend that all children 12 years old and younger be properly restrained in a rear seat. Failure to do so can result in injury or death caused by an inflating airbag to a child seated in the front passenger seat.

• Never place a rear-facing child seat in front of an active airbag. Doing so can result in serious injury or death to the child. The safest place for children 12 years old and under is in the rear seats in a suitable child restraint.

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.

NOTE: 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. Contact Rivian to have the vehicle serviced.

WARNING: 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.

Go to Settings > Vehicle > Access to enable or disable this function. Side mirrors don’t tint when the vehicle is in Reverse or Park.

Defrost: 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.

CAUTION: 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.

*Only available on some vehicle variants

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.

WARNING: Don’t overload the tires. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase stopping distance. This vehicle is not designed to carry a slide-in camper.

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. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use.

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. Tires marked C may have poor traction performance.

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. 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.

CAUTION: 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.

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.

NOTE: 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. 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. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function 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.

The full-size spare tire (if equipped) has a TPMS sensor that remains passive until you install it 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.

• 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.

CAUTION:

• 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.

WARNING: 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.

To remove the 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.

To reinstall the cover:

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

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

• **Tires:** Displays the air pressure of each tire.

• **Motor:** Displays the temperature of each motor.

• **Battery:** Displays the temperature of the high-voltage battery.

Fluctuations in motor temperatures are normal during daily use. Higher motor temperatures most often occur during battery preconditioning (even if the vehicle is not in motion). It is normal for motors to heat up during regenerative braking, especially when the vehicle travels down a steep hill or mountain. It is also normal for motor and battery temperatures to rise while the vehicle is towing at maximum capacity.

If the battery is too cold, the vehicle uses the motors to heat the battery. The vehicle temporarily reduces power and restores power after you start driving and temperatures rise.

A notification and status indicator appear on the motor or battery gauges when temperatures are too hot or cold. The Limited Performance status indicator appears on the driver display when power is limited. When the motor or battery temperature gauge turns red, the vehicle temporarily reduces power to prevent overheating. However, the motors and battery cool down quickly, and the vehicle automatically restores power.

The R1T can tow up to 11,000 lbs (4,989 kg) using a weight distributing hitch, and up to 5,000 lbs (2,267 kg) using a standard hitch.

Rivian recommends a tongue weight that is approximately 10% of the total loaded trailer weight.

• Overloading the vehicle can lead to accelerated wear, adverse performance, or unsafe conditions.

• Tow charging another electric vehicle will damage both vehicles.

• Dinghy towing or flat towing isn’t supported.

The R1T features an integrated 2 in (5 cm) Class V receiver and a 7-pin trailer connector located behind the trailer hitch cover under the rear bumper.

To remove the trailer hitch cover:

1. Use a flathead screwdriver to loosen the screws in the trailer hitch cover a quarter-turn counterclockwise.

CAUTION: To avoid breakage, don’t fully release the screws. The screws stay attached to the trailer hitch cover.

2. Grip the cover and pull it down vertically to remove it.

1. Align the trailer hitch cover tabs with the trailer hitch slot. Ensure that the cover is vertical.

2. Raise the trailer hitch cover vertically to insert the tabs into the vehicle. Push the cover into the trailer hitch slot until it is flush with the bumper.

Choose a drive mode based on the road conditions where you will be towing a trailer. The following drive modes are available and optimized to help you tow a trailer safely.

• All-Purpose

• Snow

• All-Terrain

• Soft Sand (Performance Dual-Motor and Quad-Motor only)

• Rock Crawl (Quad-Motor only)

Choose a towing ride height when you prepare and load the trailer to ensure weight distribution is maintained. Changing the ride height while towing a trailer affects the loading conditions and can impact handling and stability, especially at higher speeds or on slippery surfaces.

The vehicle provides maximum available torque and trailer sway control is always on when towing a trailer. The following features are disabled when towing a trailer:

• Rear ultrasonic sensors

• Auto ride height

• Adaptive Cruise Control (Manual Cruise Control is available)

• Driver assistance features, such as Highway Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Rear Cross-Traffic Warning

Trailer Profiles track the trailer’s range impact, estimated trailer weight, efficiency and mileage for up to three trailers. The vehicle switches to the last used profile when a trailer is plugged in. Go to Drive Modes > Trailers to view Trailer Profile data or choose a different profile. Choose Edit to rename the profile to describe your trailer.

Range at 100% and Trailer Weight are estimated values calculated while towing your trailer. When a Trailer Profile is first set up, the values show “- -” while the vehicle is learning about your trailer configuration and mass.

At the start of every drive, the vehicle detects your trailer mass and aerodynamics characteristics and notifies you if there’s a significant difference that affects range.

• Trailer learning occurs automatically as you drive and requires smooth acceleration on relatively flat and straight roads.

• Trailer learning takes longer on curvy roads, or when driving at slower speeds.

• A notification appears when trailer learning is complete.

• **Range at 100%:** This value represents the estimated range of your vehicle while towing your selected trailer if the vehicle is charged to 100%. After learning is complete, this value directly correlates to the range shown on the driver display.

• **Trailer Weight:** Trailer Weight is an estimated value based on the detected weight of your vehicle and trailer combined minus the fixed vehicle weight, which is also called Lightly Loaded Vehicle Weight.

Trailer Weight = (Detected Vehicle + Trailer Weight) – (Lightly Loaded Vehicle Weight)

Lightly Loaded Vehicle Weight = Vehicle Curb Weight (your vehicle, completely empty) + 400 lbs (180 kg)

CAUTION: Trailer weight is an approximation based on assumed vehicle values. Don’t use the estimated weight for trailer setup and loading. Always use external measurement devices to verify the weight of your trailer.

Choose More in the trailer profile. Reset the **Range at 100%** and **Trailer Weight** if your trailer load or aerodynamics characteristics have changed or you want to reset the estimated values. Reset the **Lifetime Efficiency and Distance Towed** to clear the trailer’s trip data. Reset both if you’re towing a new trailer.

When you install an accessory on the trailer hitch, you can hide rear visual alerts and mute audio warnings while the vehicle is in Reverse. To turn on Rear Accessory mode, choose Drive Modes > Trailers > Rear Accessory Mode.

NOTES:

Go to **Settings > Vehicle > Driver Assistance** to toggle on or off the speed limit setting when Manual Cruise Control is engaged. This feature works on divided highways where there is traffic going in different directions, separated by a barrier.

• **On:** Engages Manual Cruise Control at the posted speed limit. This applies when the speed limit is higher than the current vehicle speed.

• **Off:** Engages Manual Cruise Control with the current vehicle speed as the set speed.

WARNING: When Manual Cruise Control is engaged, always monitor traffic and driving conditions, and be prepared to brake if needed. This feature, along with the speed engagement settings, is designed to support you, the driver, and doesn’t replace your attention, judgment, and need to control the vehicle. Manual Cruise Control doesn’t adjust the set speed according to the posted speed limits. It’s your responsibility to adjust the set speed according to the posted speed limit. When you’re not driving on a divided highway, Manual Cruise Control will engage with the current vehicle speed as the set speed regardless of the setting.

CAUTION:

• Manual Cruise Control won’t maintain an appropriate distance from a vehicle that is ahead of you in the current lane.

• If you drive uphill or downhill while using Manual Cruise Control, the vehicle may not maintain the set speed.

• The vehicle may not detect a speed limit or detect an incorrect speed limit on certain road segments that include, but are not limited to, on-ramps, exit ramps, and construction zones.

If you are new to off-road driving, consider the following suggestions.

• Take an off-road driver training class.

• Go to off-highway vehicle (OHV) parks to practice.

• Research trails to determine the level of difficulty.

• Ride along with experienced drivers to gain skills.

• Check the weather forecast before your trip.

• Obey road closures.

• Avoid traveling alone in remote areas.

• Store gear securely.

• Pack a whistle.

• Carry a fire extinguisher for you or others on the trail.

• Use a safety vest, gloves, and safety glasses in recovery or repair situations.

• Bring extra food and water, an emergency shelter, a backcountry toilet, and sanitary supplies, appropriate to your trip.

• Don’t drive through rapidly moving water. Avoid swift water or currents.

• Maintain a first aid kit.

• You can purchase a commercial first aid kit or assemble your own.

• Consider stocking your kit with extra dressings or a bleeding control kit.

• Regularly check the expiration date on the kit contents.

• Consider taking a first aid class to be prepared for situations in which help may be delayed.

• Carry electronic communications equipment.

• Consider using multiple types to allow for compatibility with other trail users.

• Remember to include charging cables and spare batteries.

• Consider bringing a satellite phone.

Travel Responsibly

• Travel only in areas open to four-wheel drive vehicles.

• Stay on the trail and avoid actions that may damage the trail.

Respect Rights of Others

• Yield to hikers, bicyclists, and animals. Yield to those passing you or going uphill.

• Respect private property.

• Leave gates as you found them.

Educate Yourself

• Plan for your trip.

• Review maps and regulations.

• Take a skills class.

Avoid Sensitive Areas

• Drive over, not around, obstacles to avoid widening the trail.

• Don’t disturb historical artifacts, geographic features, and the natural environment.

• Cross streams at designated fording points, where the road crosses the water.

Do Your Part

• Leave the area better than you found it.

• Haul out trash.

• Minimize the use of fire. Observe fire restrictions.

DANGER:

• The vehicle should be equipped with all-terrain wheels and tires, a reinforced underbody shield, and front bumper tow hooks when you drive off road on technical terrain. Driving without this equipment increases the risk of vehicle damage that can lead to tire failure, loss of control, fire, serious injury, or death.

• Perform a post-trip inspection before you return to paved roads and highways. Off-road driving may cause vehicle damage that can lead to tire failure, loss of control, serious injury, or death.

• Drive as slowly as possible, and as fast as necessary.

• Be aware of the vehicle’s weight distribution on inclines, and how the angle of slope affects the center of gravity.

• Use smooth progressive inputs for accelerator, brake pedal, and steering. Abrupt inputs can cause loss of traction, stability, or momentum.

• Choose an approach or path to avoid damage to the vehicle and trail. Use a spotter and hand signals when needed.

• Use inertia and momentum carefully. Be aware of the weight of the vehicle and maintain control appropriate to the terrain and surface conditions.

• Keep your hands on the steering wheel. Use safe hand positions to maintain control, such as keeping thumbs and fingers on the outside of the wheel and using the push-and-slide technique to turn rather than overhanding.

• In mud, drive slowly at a steady pace. Maintain momentum and avoid stopping. If possible, check for hidden obstacles and the mud depth. Limit spinning tires as much as possible; however, sometimes some spin can aid momentum.

• In deep snow, maintain momentum and avoid stopping while climbing up gradients as securing the vehicle can be tricky. Some tire spin can help maintain momentum, but try to avoid excessive spin. Be careful of slopes and obstacles hidden by the snow.

• Choose All-Terrain mode for general off-road driving or when you’re unsure about which drive mode to choose. It is ideal in most conditions, but not optimized to any surface or situation. For example, choose this mode when you don’t know what type of terrain you will encounter.

• Reduce tire pressures when wheel slip is likely to occur. Ensure tires are inflated to normal pressures before returning to roads and highways.

This mode is for Performance Dual-Motor and Quad-Motor only.

• Choose Soft Sand mode in soft, dry sand and sand dunes. Soft Sand optimizes systems such as accelerator pedal response, torque distribution, and traction control.

• Reduce tire pressures. Ensure tires are inflated to normal pressures before returning to roads and highways.

• Use smooth and steady accelerator, brake, and steering inputs. Avoid large and sudden input changes.

• Maintain momentum and avoid stopping. Stay afloat and be aware of shifting sand.

• Keep turns and acceleration smooth and consistent. Avoid sudden moves or sharp turns.

• If you need to stop, attempt to stop the vehicle on a downhill, preferably facing forward.

• Pull away from a stop using gradual accelerator pedal inputs to avoid spinning the wheels and sinking them in the sand.

Reduce the air pressure in your tires before you go off road to improve traction, help prevent tire damage, and minimize trail surface wear.

The minimum tire pressure levels are recommended in Soft Sand mode and Rock Crawl mode. These minimum levels are also recommended in other off-road drive modes on rough terrain or deep snow.

CAUTION: The 20-inch wheels with all-terrain tires are recommended to maximize off-road capability. Use caution when driving off road with other wheel packages to prevent wheel and tire damage. To support the vehicle’s weight, inflate tires to the recommended minimum tire pressure (or higher) to prevent damage to the vehicle.

• Remember to increase tire pressure before you return to the road.

• Use the air compressor to inflate the tires.

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

The vehicle can cross water up to 39 in (1 m) deep at up to 5 mph (8 km/h). Follow these guidelines to prevent damage to the vehicle. Don’t drive in crosscurrents.

Assess the Terrain

• Check the water depth and ground surface before you drive into an area covered in water.

• Be aware of underwater obstacles or debris.

Prepare the Vehicle

• Go to Drive Modes > All-Terrain (under Off-Road on Quad-Motor vehicles), and then choose Highest under Ride Height.

• Distribute gear evenly in the vehicle storage areas to optimize traction. Note: Gear in the truck bed may get wet.

• Ensure all doors and storage areas are closed securely.

• Leave the windows open to ensure an easy exit in case of an emergency.

Cross the Water

• Enter the water slowly and maintain a steady speed without stopping.

• Don’t let water submerge the hood and avoid driving at a speed that causes water to splash over the hood.

After Crossing

• Drive a short distance away from the water after crossing and test your brakes to ensure they work normally.

• Press and hold the horn for two seconds to clear any water. Repeat four more times. If the horn doesn’t work normally on the fifth press, allow time for the horn to dry out.

DANGER: To maintain stability and reduce the risk of a rollover, vehicle damage, or serious injury when driving on hills:

• Proceed as slowly as possible yet as fast as necessary.

• Avoid driving or stopping at an angle on hills.

• Avoid side slips whenever possible.

• Don’t walk below a vehicle on a hill to avoid the risk of serious injury.

CAUTION: To prevent vehicle damage and avoid getting stuck when negotiating obstacles:

• Proceed as slowly as possible yet as fast as necessary.

• Avoid driving over large obstacles centered under the vehicle.

• Reduce your speed slightly when approaching the crest of a hill or the bottom of a dip while maintaining sufficient momentum to proceed.

• When negotiating obstacles for the first few times, start slowly to gain confidence.

• Practice on smaller obstacles until you feel comfortable with the proper techniques and necessary speeds.

• Don’t be afraid to approach slowly. If you come to a stop and don’t ground or excessively jolt the vehicle, you should be able to reverse and try again using slightly more speed or a slightly different approach angle.

• Ensure during these early attempts that you either negotiate obstacles where you are unlikely to get stuck or that you have the equipment to recover the vehicle.

• For optimal comfort and vehicle capability, use Standard or High ride height. Use Highest only in areas where extra clearance is needed.

• Use a smooth driving technique to reduce jolts in rough tracks.

• Follow existing tire tracks on wet, muddy, or hard ground since they offer the most traction and best chance of successful navigation.

• Avoid existing tire tracks on soft, dry terrain where wheel sinkage occurs, such as sand, since thin, wind-dried crust breaks easily to expose the soft sand underneath.

• If possible, straddle deep ruts where the bottom of the vehicle is likely to contact the ground. This reduces the chance of becoming grounded, in which multiple wheels no longer have traction.

• As you approach the crest of hills and the bottom of dips, reduce your speed slightly to prevent damage to the vehicle while maintaining sufficient momentum to avoid getting stuck. Proceed as slowly as possible yet as fast as necessary.

• Steer carefully in slippery ruts since steering can have a reduced effect. It can be helpful to periodically reduce your grip on the steering wheel to ensure the wheels are centered. You can also check the steering direction in Drive Modes > Gauge View on the center display.

DANGER: If the steering direction is not in your intended direction of travel, the vehicle could suddenly veer out of ruts when the depth decreases, flat ground is reached, or traction improves. Steer carefully to reduce the risk of a rollover, vehicle damage, or serious injury.

• Drive diagonally over small obstacles (where the underbody or bumpers won’t touch the ground). You can take small obstacles slowly at right angles; however, it may cause a jolt.

• Drive diagonally over medium-sized obstacles (where the vehicle may touch the ground) to prevent damage to the vehicle.

• Drive with extreme caution over large obstacles (where the wheels leave the ground if driven diagonally). Maintain enough momentum to enable the vehicle to continue over the obstacle when you experience loss of traction. It is critical to proceed as slowly as possible yet as fast as necessary.

• Choose a route that allows you to place a tire over a large obstacle. Choose an approach that allows you to maintain clearance and keep at least three wheels on the ground to push the vehicle forward.

• Approach and climb hills straight up. Use only enough speed to climb the hill and be able to control the vehicle over the crest. Press the accelerator pedal gently to reduce the likelihood of wheel spin.

• On more extreme climbs and descents, and where possible, get out and look at the slope to identify the traction conditions and obstacles ahead. This is particularly important before a descent as you will be unable to see over the hood as you drive over the crest.

• Don’t be afraid to tackle the hill slowly and repeat the approach with increased speed until you complete the climb. This allows you to better understand what speeds are suitable when you climb hills in the future.

A climb is likely to fail when the speed is insufficient or wheel spin slows the vehicle. As soon as you feel like you won’t make it, press the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. Put the vehicle in Reverse and keep both hands on the steering wheel. Use the side mirrors and the rearview mirror for rear vision. Avoid turning your head to look behind as this can cause you to turn the steering wheel.

If Hold is off, slowly ease off the brake pedal until the vehicle starts to move backwards. Maintain enough brake pressure to prevent the vehicle from gaining too much speed. On shallower gradients, regen may help to control the descent speed. If the vehicle begins to slide, ease off the brake pedal and gently press the accelerator pedal to match the wheel speed with the vehicle speed. Be ready to press the brake pedal again as the gradient decreases.

If Hold is on, slowly ease off the brake pedal, and then gently press the accelerator pedal until the vehicle starts to move backwards. If the wheels start to slip, increase the accelerator pedal pressure to match the wheel speed with the vehicle speed. If the vehicle starts to speed up too much when there is traction, press the brake pedal to reduce speed.

Descend hills straight down and keep both hands on the steering wheel. For shallower descents, regen may help to control the vehicle speed. If the speed increases too much, then gradually press the brake pedal to reduce or maintain speed. As with a failed climb, if the wheels begin to slip and the vehicle starts sliding, be ready to press the accelerator pedal gradually to help the wheels catch up with the vehicle speed.

• The vehicle should be equipped with all-terrain wheels and tires, a reinforced underbody shield, and front bumper tow hooks when you drive off road on technical terrain. Driving without this equipment increases the risk of vehicle damage that can lead to tire failure, loss of control, fire, serious injury, or death.

• Recovering a vehicle from a stuck situation can be difficult and may damage the vehicle. Only attempt to recover the vehicle if you are trained to do so. Choose the safest method of recovery possible.

• Prior to recovering the vehicle, ensure your recovery plan is within the capability of your equipment. Use a suitable calculator to predict the recovery load prior to starting a recovery.

• Wear gloves, eye protection, and any other appropriate protective equipment when recovering the vehicle.

• Stay clear of the vehicles when equipment is under load. Use a recovery damper as a safety precaution to arrest the rope or cable if there is a snap.

• Get out of the vehicle on the uphill side if the vehicle is stopped sideways on a hill. Stay clear of the rollover path.

To recover the vehicle from the front, use a recovery bow shackle to connect the strap loops to the tow hooks on the front bumper (if equipped). You can also connect a recovery hook to the tow hooks.

NOTE: Connecting to the front tow hooks may scratch the bumper and tow hooks. You can use protective tape or paint protection film to minimize damage.

To recover the vehicle from the rear, use the tow hitch receiver insert included in the vehicle recovery kit (available separately). Refer to the instructions included with the recovery kit. You can also connect to the safety chain loop on the tow hitch.

For a single-line pull, stay as straight as possible. The angle on a single-line pull can’t exceed 30° in any direction to prevent damage to the vehicle.

If you use the safety chain loop on the tow hitch, the angle can’t exceed 30° to prevent damage to the vehicle. Ensure that you connect to the side that allows you to pull away from the tow hitch.

If you use a bridle, connect to the front tow hooks with less than a 45° angle to prevent damage to the vehicle.

If you use a double-line pull, connect to the R1 using a snatch block, and then back to the other vehicle. The angle on a double-line pull can’t exceed 30° to prevent damage to the vehicle.

The full post-trip inspection includes checks on the Exterior Body, Steering and Suspension, Wheels and Tires, Windows and Wipers, Sensors and Cameras, Lights and License Plates, Front Grill, and Underbody and Tow Hitch.

• The front camera is located behind the rearview mirror.

• The interior camera is located in the rearview mirror facing the driver.

• The front radar is located at the center of the front bumper.

• The rear corner radar sensors are on the corners of the rear bumpers.

• Ultrasonic sensors located around the vehicle measure distance between the vehicle and surrounding objects.

Keep these areas clean and free of obstructions. Don’t apply film, stickers, metal plates or other equipment that could block the cameras, radars, or sensors. Only use Rivian-supplied paint protective film (PPF).

If a sensor malfunctions, a red triangle with an exclamation mark appears at the bottom of the driver display.

Different camera views make it easier to park in tight parking spots and provide additional visibility around the vehicle. You can adjust Automatic Camera settings on the center display by going to Settings > Vehicle > Driver Assistance > Automatic Cameras. Toggle the camera on to show a camera view under the following conditions:

• When shifting from Reverse to Drive (front camera view).

• When in Reverse and the tailgate is down (truck bed view).

NOTE: The front camera view activates when the vehicle speed is less than 7 mph (11 km/h).

NOTES:

• In areas where a posted speed limit is not detected, if you engage Adaptive Cruise Control or Highway Assist while driving below the minimum activation speed, the feature will engage at 20 mph (32 km/h).

• You can’t change the drive mode or ride height when Adaptive Cruise Control or Highway Assist are engaged.

• Adaptive Cruise Control, Highway Assist, and Lane Change on Command are unavailable when you’re towing a trailer. Refer to Manual Cruise Control.

• Lane Change on Command won’t perform lane changes into an upcoming merge, mandatory interchange, or mandatory exit lane.

• Lane Change on Command won’t perform lane changes out of a mandatory exit lane if you’re approaching an exit.

• Lane Change on Command may bring the vehicle back to the original lane if the lane change can’t be completed because of road or traffic conditions.

IMPORTANT: The Adaptive Cruise Control, Highway Assist, and Lane Change on Command features may be unavailable or may disengage if the radars are blocked, or the front camera visibility is reduced from blur or glare. In these cases, a chime sounds, and a notification appears in the driver display. Chassis, suspension, or tire modifications not approved by Rivian may affect the performance of the driving assist features.

WARNING: When Adaptive Cruise Control, Highway Assist, or Lane Change on Command are engaged, always monitor traffic and driving conditions, and be prepared to brake or steer if needed. These features, along with the speed engagement settings, are designed to support the driver and don’t replace the driver’s attention, judgment, and need to control the vehicle. These features won’t prevent collisions in all situations. Adaptive Cruise Control and Highway Assist don’t adjust the set speed according to the posted speed limits. It’s your responsibility to adjust the set speed according to the posted speed limit.

• Adaptive Cruise Control, Highway Assist, and Lane Change on Command may disengage without warning due to road conditions, environmental conditions, or a system malfunction.

• When Highway Assist is engaged or Lane Change on Command is performing lane changes, the system periodically reminds you to keep your hands on the wheel.

• Always be ready to take control of the vehicle.

• Failure to promptly take control of the vehicle may result in property damage, injury, or death.

• During a lane change, if the vehicle is neither able to complete the lane change nor return to the original lane, the feature issues warnings and disengages. Be prepared to take over control of the vehicle immediately.

Go to Settings > Vehicle > Driver Assistance to toggle on or off settings.

For Adaptive Cruise Control and Highway Assist:

• On: Engages Adaptive Cruise Control or Highway Assist at the posted speed limit. This applies when the speed limit is higher than the current vehicle speed.

• Off: Engages Adaptive Cruise Control or Highway Assist with the current vehicle speed as the set speed.

NOTE: This feature works on divided highways where there is traffic going in different directions, separated by a barrier.

For Lane Change on Command:

• On: Enables Lane Change on Command to actively help you change lanes on the highway when you signal.

• Off: Disables Lane Change on Command.

NOTE: Highway Assist Reengage is unavailable when Lane Change on Command is enabled.

Under certain conditions, Adaptive Cruise Control, Highway Assist, Lane Change on Command, and Curve Speed Assist may not work as expected. Adaptive Cruise Control may either brake when not required, or may not brake for vehicles and objects. Lane Change on Command may perform a lane change even when there is a vehicle close to you in the adjacent lane, or not perform a lane change when the lane is clear.

• Severe Weather WARNING: Severe weather affects the performance of Adaptive Cruise Control, Highway Assist, Lane Change on Command, and Curve Speed Assist. Use your judgment when driving in heavy rain, snow, or other environmental conditions that reduce visibility around the vehicle. These features may disengage without warning in severe weather, extreme temperatures, or if sunlight shines directly into the front camera. Do not use these features on slippery, unpaved, wet, or snowy roads.

• Sharp Curves and Steep Grades WARNING: Roads with sharp curves or steep grades affect the performance of these features. Always be prepared to take control of the vehicle if needed.

• Adjacent Vehicles and Merging Lanes WARNING: Adaptive Cruise Control or Highway Assist don’t accelerate or decelerate in response to vehicles or objects in adjacent lanes. Always watch for vehicles in adjacent lanes, especially when your driving lane merges into another lane. Lane Change on Command minimally adjusts speeds for vehicles in front of you in the adjacent lanes. Be prepared to take control of the vehicle if needed.

Road Conditions WARNING:

• The vehicle may not detect a speed limit or detect an incorrect speed limit on certain road segments that include, but are not limited to, on-ramps, exit ramps, and construction zones.

• Highway Assist may not perform as expected through road construction zones.

• Curve Speed Assist may not work as expected when you’re traveling on uneven or loose surfaces such as gravel or sand.

• Lane Change on Command may not perform lane changes or perform incorrect lane changes if the lane lines are not clear.

• Lane Change on Command may perform erroneous lane changes in construction zones that use barriers (such as cones, barrels, or other types of barriers) to temporarily define the lane.

Driving Conditions WARNING: These features may not work as expected under conditions such as:

• When you closely follow a vehicle ahead of you, or if a vehicle suddenly cuts into the driving lane.

• When a vehicle or object is partially in the driving lane, such as in a merge or turn lane.

• When you change lanes and the vehicle detects a stationary or slow-moving vehicle or object ahead.

• In a busy urban or residential area with rapidly changing road conditions, pedestrians, cyclists, intersections, and roundabouts.

• If a motorcycle that is splitting lanes is approaching your vehicle from either side.

• If a motorcycle is splitting the lane with your vehicle over long periods of time.

• If large vehicles such as buses or semi-trucks are driving closely behind you or in your blind spot areas.

• You’re not in an off-road drive mode or towing a trailer.

• Lane lines are clearly visible.

• You’re traveling within the activation speed range: 20 to 85 mph (32 to 136 km/h).

If you’re traveling under the minimum activation speed, you can’t activate ACC unless there is a vehicle in front of you within a certain sensing range, and the steering wheel is not turned.

To engage ACC while driving, pull the drive stalk toward you and then release. The vehicle chimes to alert you that ACC is engaged. The set speed appears in a circle at the top of the driver display.

While ACC is engaged, press the accelerator pedal to temporarily accelerate above the set speed. Release the accelerator to resume Adaptive Cruise Control.

• Regenerative braking slows down the vehicle after you disengage Adaptive Cruise Control.

• Adaptive Cruise Control disengages immediately if you open any door, unbuckle the driver’s seat belt, or if you shift the vehicle out of Drive.

• The vehicle can automatically adjust the ride height based on the vehicle speed. Refer to Automatic Ride Height Changes.

After you engage ACC, you can adjust the set speed and minimum following distance with the controls on the right-hand side of the steering wheel.

NOTES:

• You can also use the drive stalk to set a new Adaptive Cruise Control or Highway Assist speed. Accelerate to a new speed, and then push the drive stalk all the way down once and release.

• If the “Speed Limit” option is selected in the Set Speed setting, you can push the drive stalk all the way down for 0.5 seconds and release to update the set speed to the posted speed limit when you’re driving on a divided highway.

To disengage ACC, push the drive stalk away from you and then release, or press the brake pedal.

When ACC is engaged and traffic stops in front of you, ACC stops the vehicle. If you are stopped for at least 30 seconds, the vehicle pauses ACC. To resume Active Cruise Control, lightly press the accelerator pedal.

If Adaptive Cruise Control decelerates the vehicle to a complete stop and then remains stopped for 10 continuous minutes, ACC disengages and automatically shifts the vehicle to Park.

• You’re not in an off-road drive mode or towing a trailer.

• You’re centered in your lane.

• You’re on a select highway and the Highway Assist Available icon is present on the driver display.

• Your hands are on the steering wheel.

• You’re traveling within the activation speed range: 20 to 85 mph (32 to 136 km/h).

If traveling under the minimum activation speed, you can’t activate HWA unless there is a vehicle in front of you within a certain sensing range, and the steering wheel is not turned.

If the Highway Assist Available icon appears while you’re driving, you can engage Highway Assist. To engage, pull the drive stalk toward you twice within 1 second and then release. The vehicle chimes to alert you that Highway Assist is engaged. Highway Assist automatically steers the vehicle to keep it centered in the lane. The Highway Assist icon appears with your set speed at the top of your driver display.

• If you turn the steering wheel while Highway Assist is engaged, the system switches to Adaptive Cruise Control at the set speed.

• Adaptive Cruise Control and Highway Assist reduce the vehicle’s speed when cornering.

• The Highway Assist Available icon doesn’t appear if you aren’t centered in the lane.

• Highway Assist only functions on certain divided or controlled-access highways.

• If Highway Assist is unavailable when you try to engage it, the vehicle chimes and notifies you that the feature is unavailable.

To change lanes manually when Highway Assist is active:

1. Engage the turn signal.

2. Turn the steering wheel in the indicated direction, and center the vehicle in the desired lane.

As you perform the move, Highway Assist automatic steering disables, but Adaptive Cruise Control remains active. When you center the vehicle in the new lane, the turn signal automatically shuts off, Highway Assist automatic steering reenables, and a chime sounds to confirm.

• You are responsible for steering the vehicle and must have your hands on the wheel.

• The vehicle continues to control acceleration and braking. Always monitor your surroundings and be prepared to take over control.

• The vehicle won’t react to vehicles in the adjacent lane. It is your responsibility to determine the safety of a lane change.

The vehicle cancels Highway Assist and transitions into Adaptive Cruise Control when you do one of the following:

• At the start of a lane change, turn the steering wheel in a direction other than the indication of the turn signal.

• Take too long to complete a lane change.

• Move into a lane that doesn’t support Highway Assist (such as a mandatory exit lane).

NOTE: Highway Assist Reengage is unavailable if Lane Change on Command is enabled in settings.

To disengage Highway Assist, push the drive stalk away from you, or press the brake pedal.

In certain road conditions or when system failures occur, Highway Assist provides audible and visual notifications for you, the driver, to take control. If you don’t take control of the vehicle within a certain period of time, Highway Assist continues to provide warnings and starts decelerating. While the vehicle is decelerating, you can either push the drive stalk up one time and release, or press the brake pedal to take full control of the vehicle. If you don’t take control of the vehicle, Highway Assist brings the vehicle to a complete stop and then automatically turns on the hazard lights. Highway Assist then remains unavailable until you shift out of Park to start a new drive cycle.

• You’re not in an off-road drive mode or towing a trailer.

• You’re traveling within the activation speed range: 20 to 85 mph (32 to 136 km/h).

A curvy arrow appears to the right of the Adaptive Cruise Control set speed icon and the Highway Assist icon when Curve Speed Assist is on.

NOTE: Curve Speed Assist operates only when Adaptive Cruise Control is on and not during manual driving.

• In certain conditions such as a high-speed approach to a curve or a road with sharp curves, Curve Speed Assist may not reduce speed sufficiently. Don’t rely solely on Curve Speed Assist to control the vehicle.

• Curve Speed Assist doesn’t monitor posted speed limits.

• Curve Speed Assist is designed to support the driver and doesn’t replace the driver’s attention, judgment, and need to control the vehicle.

• Highway Assist is engaged.

• You’re traveling within the activation speed range: 50 to 85 mph (80 to 137 km/h).

• You can also use Lane Change on Command if you are traveling between 20 to 50 mph (32 to 80 km/h). In this case, a vehicle must be detected in the lane into which you want to move, and must be traveling at an appropriate distance and speed, for your vehicle to make the lane change.

To request a lane change, turn on the turn signal in the intended direction of lane change by pushing the lights stalk up or down to the second click.

When Lane Change on Command starts performing the lane change, animations appear on the driver display to indicate the status of the lane change. After a lane change successfully completes, the turn signals automatically turn off.

• Lane Change on Command provides visual cues if the adjacent lane is blocked by a vehicle and waits for the lane to clear. If the lane doesn’t clear within approximately 10 seconds, the lane line in the driver display flashes red, and the vehicle chimes, indicating a timeout. You can request a new lane change at this time.

• When you request a lane change into a lane that isn’t supported by the feature, such as mandatory exit, merge lane, or shoulder of the highway, the lane line in the driver display turns red momentarily, and the vehicle chimes.

• If you turn the steering wheel during the lane change, both Lane Change on Command and Highway Assist will disengage, and the system switches to Adaptive Cruise Control.

• While a lane change is in progress, if you turn off the turn signals or change the turn signal direction, the vehicle will either complete the lane change or return to the original lane depending on the vehicle’s position during the lane change.

• Lane Change on Command is designed to detect vehicles in adjacent lanes; however, it is your responsibility to visually check that the target lane is clear before you request a lane change.

• Always monitor the surrounding areas, and be prepared to take over control of the vehicle at any time.

• There may be scenarios where the vehicle can neither complete the lane change nor return to the original lane.

• Lane Change on Command may not slow down the vehicle quickly enough if the vehicle in front of you brakes aggressively.

• Lane Change on Command may perform erroneous lane changes if clear lane lines are not visible. Scenarios include, but are not limited to, faded or missing lane lines, or lane lines covered by cones, barrels, other objects or debris.

Go to Settings > Vehicle > Driver Assistance on the center display to manage the lane safety features.

• Alert Timing: Choose how early you’d like to be alerted on lane departure.

• Alert Type: Choose sound, steering wheel vibration, or both types of alerts.

• Lane Keeping Assist: After you enable Lane Departure Warning, toggle Lane Keeping Assist on or off.

• Blind Spot View: Toggle the live blind spot camera on or off when you activate a turn signal.

If Lane Keeping Assist is on, you may receive alerts to keep control of the steering wheel. Alerts are a combination of visual notification on the driver display, audio chimes, and steering wheel vibrations. Alerts gradually increase in length and intensity if your hands aren’t on the steering wheel.

Lane safety features may not work as expected in certain environments and driving situations. The features may either not warn or provide a false warning under such conditions that include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Severe Weather: Strong direct sunlight, heavy fog, snow, rain, or extreme temperatures.

• Blocked or Damaged Equipment: The front camera or sensors are blocked with things such as mud, dirt, rain, snow, or ice, stickers, or metallic objects; The windshield has become fogged or damaged; The radar is out of position.

• Road Conditions: Sharp curves, hilly roads, or uneven road surfaces; Unclear road markings because of faded line marks and shadows over roads.

• Tow Hitch: A trailer, bike rack, or cargo basket is attached to the tow hitch.

• Driving Conditions: During lane changes; On uneven roads or roads with different lane heights; When a fast-approaching vehicle passes; When a motorcycle, bicycle, or small car is in the blind spot; When you drive past non-moving objects on a narrow road, such as trees or parked cars.

• You’re not in an off-road drive mode.

• Lane markings and road edges are clearly visible.

• You’re traveling within the activation speed range: 44 to 108 mph (71 to 174 km/h).

The Lane Departure Warning status indicator appears on the driver display if the feature malfunctions.

• You’re not in an off-road drive mode.

• You’re traveling within the activation speed range: 44 to 108 mph (71 to 174 km/h).

• You’re not towing a trailer.

• Lane Departure Warning is turned on.

Blind Spot View (BSV) and Blind Spot Warning (BSW) are monitoring features that assist you in making lane changes and turns more safely.

Blind Spot View shows a live camera view when you activate a turn signal. On the driver display, a camera view flies in from the direction of the turn to show the blind spot area to the side of your vehicle. A red border shows around the live camera view, depending on the proximity of vehicles in your blind spots.

Blind Spot Warning alerts you when it detects vehicles in your blind spots to either side of your vehicle. A warning indicator also appears on the side view mirrors. The indicator flashes, and an audible alert plays.

Rivian recommends the following:

• Rotate the tires every 7,500 mi (12,000 km) to ensure even tread wear and extend tire life.

• Use a four-tire rotation to ensure that your spare tire (if equipped) is in excellent condition.

The rotation pattern is as follows:

1. Move the rear tires to the same sides on the front.

2. Move the front tires to the opposite sides on the rear.

Use the Rivian mobile app or contact Rivian to schedule service.

For safety and maximum tire performance, replace your tires when they become worn. Driving with worn tires substantially increases the risk of an accident in reduced traction conditions, such as rain or snow.

Tire wear reduces the tread depth. Your vehicle’s tires are equipped with tread wear indicators at 2/32 in (1.6 mm).

For safety, inspect your tires regularly and replace them before the tread wear indicators appear at the surface as a solid line.

Always keep your tires properly inflated for even tread wear and maximum traction.

Be sure to rotate your tires every 7,500 mi (12,000 km) to ensure even tread wear and to extend tire life.

IMPORTANT

Rivian recommends that the tire tread depth difference between the left and right tires on each axle not exceed 2/32 in (1.6 mm) maximum. If the difference exceeds the maximum, you may be required to replace both tires on the same axle at the same time.

Follow your local regulations for tread wear limits.

Your vehicle is equipped with R-1234yf refrigerant. The required refrigerant type and charge amount are listed on the Refrigerant label under the hood of the front trunk. The symbols and specifications on the refrigerant label are as follows:

DANGER

• R-1234yf refrigerant is mildly flammable and under high pressure. The climate system should only be serviced by a trained and certified technician for safety and proper operation. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.

• When replacing refrigerant and compressor oil, the correct type and amount must be used.

• All refrigerants should only be reclaimed with proper equipment to avoid injury. Refrigerant should never be vented to the atmosphere as it is harmful to individuals and the environment.

• Only a new evaporator or inner condenser should be used as a replacement for a leaking evaporator or inner condenser (if equipped). A damaged or leaking air conditioning evaporator or inner condenser should never be repaired or replaced with the one removed from a salvaged vehicle.

DANGER

To avoid damage to the vehicle and injury to people nearby, follow these safety precautions when you change a tire.

• Find a safe location and ensure the surface is flat, firm, and high-friction.

• Don’t service the vehicle on a narrow shoulder, near oncoming traffic, or on soft terrain.

• Don’t place the tire jack over a grate or manhole cover.

• Don’t place supports such as wooden blocks under the tire jack.

CAUTION

• The Rivian Tire Service Kit should only be used for roadside emergencies to change a flat or damaged tire on a Rivian vehicle. Contact Rivian for other types of service or repair.

• The Rivian Tire Service Kit is designed to lift a Rivian vehicle using the vehicle jack points only. Don’t lift any other vehicle or cargo using the Rivian Tire Service Kit.

IMPORTANT

Rivian recommends that the tire tread depth difference between the left and right tires on each axle not exceed 2/32 in (1.6 mm) maximum. If the difference exceeds the maximum, then you may be required to replace both tires on the same axle at the same time. Follow your local regulations for tread wear limits.

Install only the tire brands and models recommended by Rivian. Use the same tire model on either axle. For optimal performance, use the same tire model on all four wheels.

Failure to fulfill all of the aforementioned requirements may result in changes to vehicle ride, handling, traction, and range.
