HYBRID INFORMATION (IF EQUIPPED)
If you have a Hybrid vehicle, your navigation system has special Hybrid
screens which relay Energy Flow and Fuel Economy information. To
access these screens, press MENU and then select the HEV tab.
ENERGY FLOW SCREEN
The Energy flow screen shows a graphical representation of how power
is transferred in the Hybrid system to accelerate the vehicle or recharge
the battery, and also which mode is currently active. These screens are
informational and do not require any input from you.
Note:Due to the screen updates and simplification of the graphics, the
display may not show the actual vehicle status.
1.Engine Power:This line represents how much power is being
provided to the wheels by the engine. The arrow will always flow in one
direction and point to the wheels.
2.Engine:This icon represents the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE).
It will be highlighted in orange only when the ICE is running.
3.Generator Power:This line represents how much power is being
generated by the engine for use by the High Voltage (HV) electric
system, or how much power is being used by the High Voltage (HV)
electric system to control/start the engine.

FUEL ECONOMY SCREEN
The fuel economy screen displays
instantaneous fuel consumption,
overall average fuel economy and
also a graph of fuel economy
achieved in the last minute of
driving. To view this screen, press
SHOW FUEL ECONOMY on the
HEV tab screen.
•Instantaneous Fuel Consumption (Inst Cons):This is displayed
on the vertical bar on the left of the screen ranging from 0–60 mpg.
Your vehicle must be moving to calculate instantaneous fuel
consumption. When the vehicle is not moving, the Ins Cons function
will display no bar on the Inst Cons graph indicating 0 mpg.
Conversely, if you are driving in electric mode (Engine off), this
function will display 60 mpg. Instantaneous Consumption cannot be
reset.
•Overall Average Fuel Economy (AVG MPG):The AVG MPG is
displayed on the upper left hand corner of the screen. The AVG MPG
will be retained when the key is turned OFF and will continue
averaging when driving resumes. Pressing RESET will reset the AVG
MPG to zero.
•One minute average graph:The graph is updated each minute with
the fuel economy that was achieved during the prior minute of driving.
Each new one minute average will be added to the left side of the
graph, shifting the past data to the right. When the graph area is full,
the right most point will be deleted, keeping a running scroll from left
to right of the last 15 minutes of driving. The graph is intended to
provide a graphical representation of how driving habits/conditions can
affect fuel economy. Note that the graph will be cleared anytime the
key is turned out of RUN (however, the overall average fuel economy
will retain its value). Press RESET to clear the graph.
If the Navigation system has been set to units of Kilometer, the Fuel
Economy screen will display the equivalent Consumption Graph in units
of L/1000 KM. In Consumption (L/1000 KM) mode, the IFE function will
display MAX until the vehicle is moving. For more information on
Average Fuel Economy, refer toMessage centerin theDriver Controls
chapter in yourOwner’s Guide.

listed in bold below; subcommands are listed beneath. For example, if
you wanted the map to be shown on the system screen, you would say
“Navigation Show Map”.
If the voice system is already engaged in a specific function, there is no

Standard system provides detailed user instructions and announces all
available voice commands

commands

must be in Park and the profile takes approximately 10 minutes to
complete.

Voice recognition includes a
function that allows you to input

locations stored in the address book
to be used later as destinations.
