Automatic Climate
Control System
The climate control buttons and the
touch screen are used to adjust the
heating, cooling, and ventilation.
The vehicle may require the
use of an auxiliary heat source
under certain cold conditions. This provides additional heating
and defrost capability obtained
by running the engine, even if the
high voltage battery is adequately
charged. Under these conditions,
the engine will start and use fuel.
Make sure there is fuel in the tank.
Do not allow the vehicle to remain
in extreme temperatures for long
periods without being driven or
being plugged in.

level based on the temperature
setting selected. In this mode,
vehicle electric range or fuel
economy will decrease depending
on the amount of energy required
to reach the best comfort levels.

the Climate Power gauge displays
the impact that user setting changes
have on energy consumption.
