October Manual Update Newer than Recent OTA Update

Just hit your brakes hard every now and then and your rotors will be fine. The GV60 is my 4th EV and none of the others had or needed a cleaning mode. They will be fine.

I wonder if the car does this automatically periodically. I’ve never put the car in L0, but have noticed that the friction brakes have engaged during light to moderate braking twice in my 2.5 years of ownership.

The must be some algorithm that invokes the friction brakes, if for no other reason than to occasionally scrape off the rotor rust. My previous Chev Volt had an algorithm that used the friction brakes anytime braking/regen was called for and the vehicle was under 3 mph. It was perfectly smooth and unnoticeable, but did it's job. Also, of course, if you command hard braking, the vehicle will certainly use the friction brakes to provide a minimum stopping distance!
