Energy Flow Screen
Your Vehicle Navigation System is equipped with an Energy Flow Screen.
This screen provides a graphical representation of how power is
transferred in the Hybrid system to either accelerate the vehicle, or
re-charge the battery. The screen also provides you with titles to
describe the mode which is currently active in the Hybrid system. These
screens are informational and do not require any input from you. Note
that due to the one second screen updates and the simplification of the
graphics, the display may not show the actual vehicle status.
To view the Energy Flow Screen,
press the battery icon. While the
display is activated, the audio will
continue to play.

Operating tips
•To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
position.
•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle in cold weather: do not
drive with the air flow selector in the O (OFF), A/C
or MAX
A/C position.
•Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the air flow selector in
MAX A/C, A/C
or O (OFF) when the vehicle is parked. This
allows the vehicle to “breathe” using the outside air inlet vents.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select A/C.
2. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
3. Set the fan speed to 4.
4. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows.
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER
The rear defroster control is located
on the instrument panel. Press to
clear the rear window of thin ice
and fog. The small LED will
illuminate when activated.
Ensure that the ignition is in the 3 (RUN) position in order to operate
the rear window defroster.
The defroster turns off automatically after 15 minutes or when the
ignition is turned to the 1 (LOCK) position. To manually turn off the
defroster before 15 minutes have passed, push the control a second time.
