To turn the reading lamps on or off,
press the button located next to
each lamp.
Electric Power
Management
The vehicle has Electric Power
Management (EPM) that estimates
the battery’s temperature and
state of charge. It then adjusts the
voltage for best performance
and extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is
low, the voltage is raised slightly to
quickly bring the charge back up.
When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent
overcharging. If the vehicle has a
voltmeter gage or a voltage display
3-14 Instrument Panel
ProCarManuals.com

on the Driver Information Center
(DIC), you may see the voltage move
up or down. This is normal. If there is
a problem, an alert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged at
idle if the electrical loads are
very high. This is true for all
vehicles. This is because the
generator (alternator) may not be
spinning fast enough at idle to
produce all the power that is needed
for very high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when
several of the following are on, such
as: headlamps, high beams, fog
lamps, rear window defogger,
climate control fan at high speed,
heated seats, engine cooling fans,
trailer loads, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.EPM works to prevent excessive
discharge of the battery. It does this
by balancing the generator’s output
and the vehicle’s electrical needs. It
can increase engine idle speed to
generate more power, whenever
needed. It can temporarily reduce
the power demands of some
accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in
steps or levels, without being
noticeable. In rare cases at the
highest levels of corrective action,
this action may be noticeable to the
driver. If so, a Driver Information
Center (DIC) message might be
displayed, such as BATTERY
SAVER ACTIVE, BATTERY
VOLTAGE LOW, or LOW BATTERY.
If this message is displayed, it is
recommended that the driver reduce
the electrical loads as much as
possible. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-42.Battery Run-Down
Protection
The battery saver feature is
designed to protect the vehicle’s
battery.
If any interior or exterior lamp is left
on and the ignition is turned off, the
battery rundown protection system
automatically turns the lamp off after
10 minutes.

Speedometer and
Odometer
The speedometer shows the
vehicle’s speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers
per hour (km/h).
The odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven, in
either miles or kilometers.
If the vehicle needs a new odometer
installed, the new one is set to
the mileage total of the old
odometer. If it cannot, it will be set
at zero and a label must be put
on the driver’s door to show the old
mileage reading when the new
odometer was installed. If the
mileage is unknown, the label
should then indicate that the
previous mileage is unknown.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer is located on the
instrument panel and shows how
far the vehicle has been driven since
the trip odometer was last reset.
To reset the trip odometer to zero,
press and hold the trip/reset
button on the speedometer for
about two seconds. Press the
trip/reset button to switch between
the trip odometer and odometer.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the
engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).The auto stop indicator is located at
the bottom of the tachometer. For
more information seeAuto Stop
Mode on page 3-35.
Safety Belt Reminders
Driver Safety Belt Reminder
Light
When the engine is started, a chime
sounds for several seconds to
remind the driver to fasten their
safety belt, unless it is already
buckled.
The safety belt light comes on and
stays on for several seconds,
then ashes for several more.
This chime and light are repeated if
the driver safety belt remains
unbuckled and the vehicle is in
motion. If the driver safety belt is
already buckled, neither the
chime nor the light comes on. U.S. shown, Canada similar

This light also comes on when the
fuel tank is low on fuel. When fuel is
added, the light should go off. If it
does not, have the vehicle serviced.
Auto Stop Mode
This mark on the tachometer
signies that the engine is in Auto
Stop mode which is a fuel saving
operation.
When the vehicle is off, the
tachometer needle moves to OFF. If
the driver’s door is opened while
in Auto Stop, a chime sounds.
Charge/Assist Gage
The CHARGE/ASSIST gage
displays the charge into and out of
the hybrid battery.
When the gage indicates ASSIST,
the electric motor is performing
an automatic restart of the engine,
or the electric motor is assisting
for maximum acceleration.
When the gage indicates CHARGE,
the electric motor operates as a
generator to perform regenerative
braking, while decelerating. See
Regenerative Braking on page 2-23
for more information.
The gage also indicates CHARGE
when the system is recharging
the hybrid battery.If the hybrid battery or other hybrid
components are very hot or cold, the
CHARGE and ASSIST functions can
be suspended until the component
temperatures are normal.
Fuel Economy Light
The ECO light comes on when the
vehicle is achieving fuel economy
close to its rated performance.
Driving habits that improve
fuel economy increases the time
that the fuel economy light is on.
