Additional owner information is given in separate publications.
This Owner’s Guide describes every option and model variant available
and therefore some of the items covered may not apply to your
particular vehicle. Furthermore, due to printing cycles it may describe
options before they are generally available.
Remember to pass on this Owner’s Guide when reselling the vehicle. It is
an integral part of the vehicle.
WARNING: Fuel pump shut-off switch:In the event of an
accident the safety switch will automatically cut off the fuel
supply to the engine. The switch can also be activated through sudden
vibration (e.g. collision when parking). To reset the switch, refer to the
Fuel pump shut-off switchin theRoadside Emergencieschapter.

Instantaneous fuel economy
gauge:The instantaneous fuel
economy is displayed in miles per
gallon (or liters per 100 kilometers)
from 0 to 60 mpg (or 0 to
30L/100km). Your vehicle must be
moving to calculate instantaneous
fuel economy. If your instantaneous
fuel economy is greater than
60 mpg, a “+” sign will be displayed
next to the 60, indicating that the
current value is above the maximum that the graph can display.
Instantaneous fuel economy cannot be reset. You may turn this gauge on
or off at any information level. Refer toMessage centerin this chapter
for more information.
Efficiency information gauge:You have three choices for displaying
efficiency information: Efficiency Leaves, History Graph, or No Efficiency
Information. You may make this selection at any information level. Refer
toMessage centerin this chapter for more information on choosing the
efficiency displays.
Efficiency leaves:Indicates short
term driving efficiency, measured
over the last few minutes. The more
leaves and vines that are displayed,
the more efficiently you’re driving.
Leaves and vines will occasionally
appear and disappear to indicate a
change in driving efficiency.
Note:The efficiency display can be
impacted by your use of brakes,
accelerator and accessories as well
as environmental conditions such as terrain and weather.

History graph:Indicates average
fuel economy in 10, 20, or
60 minute intervals. You can choose
the interval using the message
center. The graph is updated each
minute with the fuel economy that
was achieved during the prior 1, 2,
or 6 minutes of driving, respectively.
Each new 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 with the bar on the left being the most recent. Note that previous
values will remain when the vehicle is shut off and restarted, but values
from a previous drive cycle will be grayed out. The average fuel economy
since the last reset, or last 2,000 miles (3,200 km) of driving, is shown as
a horizontal line across the bar graph.
Refer toMessage centerin this chapter for more information on the
history graph display mode.
No efficiency information:If you choose, you may turn off both the
Efficiency leaves and History Graph using the message center. In this
case, the portion of your instrument cluster devoted to this information
will be blank.
Refer toMessage centerin this chapter for more information on
choosing no efficiency information.
Average fuel economy:Your average fuel economy in miles/gallon will
be displayed at the top right of your vehicle’s instrument cluster or in
liters/100 km at the lower right along with the efficiency leaves, history
graph or no display (shown previously with history graph). You may
reset this average at any time. Refer toMessage centerin this chapter
for more information on the average fuel economy display mode.
If you calculate your average fuel economy by dividing distance traveled
by amount of fuel used, your figure may be different than displayed for
the following reasons:
•Your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up
•Differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at
service stations
•Variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another
•Rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 gallon (liter)

To determine your average highway fuel economy, do the following:
1. Drive the vehicle at least 5 miles (8 km) with the speed control
system engaged to display a stabilized average.
2. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference.
It is important to press the RESET button to reset the function after
setting the speed control to get accurate highway fuel economy readings.
For more information refer toEssentials of good fuel economyin the
Maintenance and Specificationschapter.
Distance to empty (DTE):Distance to Empty is displayed in the lower
right for miles or on the top right for kilometers of your vehicle’s
instrument cluster along with the efficiency, history graph or no display
(shown previously with history graph). This function will give you an
estimate of how far you can drive with the fuel remaining in your tank
under normal driving conditions. Distance to empty will vary according
to your driving habits.
DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is based
on your recent driving history of 500 miles (800 km). This value is not
the same as the average fuel economy display. The running average fuel
economy is re-initialized to a factory default value if the battery is
disconnected.
Turn your vehicle off when refuelling to correctly detect the amount fuel
being added and allow this feature to work correctly.
Refer toMessage centerin this chapter for more information on the
distance to empty display mode.
Tachometer and EV mode gauge
(enlighten instrument cluster
level only):When the gasoline
engine is running, this gauge
displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM).
When the hybrid system is operating
in electric vehicle mode (without
the gasoline engine), EV is
displayed. SeeEV mode onlynext.

Vehicle power gauge (empower
instrument cluster only):When
the transmission is in a drive gear
only, this gauge shows you vehicle
power demand and gasoline engine
on/off threshold. It is designed to
show you how close you are to the
gasoline engine on/off threshold and
how much power you are requesting
by how much you press on the
accelerator pedal.
The red level indicator shows vehicle power demand. The more you
press on the accelerator pedal, the more power you demand of the
vehicle. The green box shows the gasoline engine on/off threshold. If
vehicle power demand is reduced, the gasoline engine will turn off when
the red level indicator moves below the green box. In this case, the
hybrid system is operating in electric vehicle mode andEVis displayed
at the bottom of the gauge. When the red level indicator exceeds the
threshold, the system commands the gasoline engine on (and theEV
disappears).
When the gasoline engine is on for reasons outside of your control (such
as warming up the system or charging a low battery), the gasoline engine
on/off threshold (green box) disappears. When the on/off threshold box
is not displayed, the gasoline engine will not turn off regardless of how
little power you demand (even lifting your foot off of the accelerator).
Odometer:Registers the total miles
(kilometers) of the vehicle.
Refer toMessage centerin this
chapter on how to switch the
display from Metric to English.
Trip odometer:Registers the miles
(kilometers) of individual journeys.
Press and release the message
center INFO button until TRIP A
mode appears in the display. Press
the button again to select the TRIP
B feature. Press the RESET button
to reset.

Trip summary:When the ignition key is turned to the off position, the
instrument cluster will transition to a trip summary screen which
displays the following information for your most recent drive:
•Distance
•Fuel economy
•Fuel used
•Trip efficiency (this is displayed via the efficiency leaves graphic).
Long term fuel economy is also displayed, showing the vehicle’s fuel
economy since the last customer reset. To reset long term fuel economy,
seeResetsin theMessage centersection in this chapter.
MESSAGE CENTER
With the ignition in the on position, the message center, located on your
instrument cluster, displays important vehicle informationthrough a
constant monitor of vehicle systems.You may select display features
on the message center for a display of status. The system will also notify
you of potential vehicle problems with a display of system warnings
followed by a long indicator chime.
