HYBRID OPERATION
This hybrid vehicle combines electric and gasoline propulsion without
compromise, to provide breakthrough performance and efficiency. It
requires no special fuels and never has to be plugged in. Familiarizing
yourself with these unique characteristics will help ensure optimal
performance from your new vehicle.
Normal vehicle operation
Starting:Turn the ignition key to
the start position while your vehicle
is in P (Park). The green “Ready
Indicator” light will appear in the
instrument cluster, letting you know
that the vehicle is ready for driving. The engine may not start because
this Hybrid vehicle is equipped with Silent Key Start (SKS). This fuel
saving feature allows your vehicle to be “ready to drive” without
requiring the gas engine to be running. This indicator will remain on
while the vehicle is on, whether the engine is running or not to indicate
the vehicle is capable of movement (using its electric motor, engine, or
both). The vehicle’s computer will determine if an engine start is
required. Typically, the engine will not start unless the vehicle is cold, a
climate control change is requested, or the accelerator is depressed.
Note:You may notice higher engine speeds upon start-up. This
temporary condition is normal and necessary to heat up the cabin and
minimize emissions.
Driving:The gas engine automatically starts and stops to provide power
when it’s needed and to save fuel when it’s not. While coasting at low
speeds, coming to a stop, or standing, the gas engine normally shuts
down and the vehicle operates in electric-only mode. Conditions that
may cause the engine to start up or remain running include:
•Considerable vehicle acceleration
•Vehicle speed above 47 mph (75 km/h)
•Ascending a hill
•Charge level of high voltage battery is low
•Very high or low outside temperature (to provide system
cooling/heating)
•Engine not warm enough to provide passenger requested cabin
temperature
Stopping:The gas engine may shut off to conserve fuel as you come to
a stop. Restarting the vehicle is not required. Simply step on the
accelerator when you are ready to drive.

Question Answer
Why does it take a long time
before the engine shuts down?There are several reasons the
engine stays on for an extended
amount of time when it is first
started. One common reason is to
ensure that the emissions
components are warm enough to
minimize tailpipe emissions. As the
climate gets cooler, this
“engine-ON” time is extended.
Why does my engine never shut
down above 47 mph (75 km/h)?The engine is required to turn on
above this speed to protect the
transmission hardware.
Why does my engine stay ON
when it’s extremely cold outside?In order to ensure that the climate
control system can begin heating
the cabin and/or defrosting the
windshield as soon as a driver
requests it, the engine coolant
temperature has to be kept
sufficiently hot. Keeping the
engine on is required to maintain
the correct minimum temperature.
Why does my engine rev up so
high sometimes when I accelerate?Your vehicle’s engine and
transmission are designed to
deliver the power you need at the
most efficient engine speed. This
may be higher than expected
during heavy accelerations, and
may fluctuate during steady state
driving. These are characteristics
of the Atkinson engine cycle and
the eCVT transmission technology
that help maximize your hybrid’s
fuel economy.

DUAL AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
1.AUTO/Driver temperature:Press to engage full automatic
operation. Select the desired temperature using the temperature control.
The system will automatically determine fan speed, airflow distribution,
A/C on or off, and outside or recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle
to reach the desired temperature. Turn to increase/decrease the
temperature on the driver side of the vehicle. The control also adjusts
the passenger side temperature when PASS TEMP is disengaged or
anytime the passenger seat is not occupied. The recommended initial
setting is between 72°F (22°C) and 75°F (24°C), then adjust for comfort.
The driver side temperature setting will appear in the upper left corner
of the display.
2.
RRear defroster:Press to activate/deactivate the rear window
defroster. This button will also activate/deactivate the heated mirrors (if
equipped). Refer toRear window defrosterlater in this chapter for
more information.
3.
Defrost:Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster
vents and demister vents. Can be used to clear the windshield of fog and
thin ice. The system will automatically provide outside air to reduce
window fogging. Press this button again to return to the previous air flow
selection. To return to full automatic control, press AUTO.
4.
:Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents, demister
vents, floor vents and rear seat floor vents. The system will automatically
provide outside air to reduce window fogging. To return to full automatic
control, press AUTO.

5.Power/:Press to activate/deactivate the climate control
system. When the system is off, outside air is prevented from entering
the vehicle through the vents. Press +
or –to select the desired
fan speed manually. To return to full automatic control, press AUTO.
6.
:Distributes air through the instrument panel vents. To return to
full automatic control, press AUTO.
7.
:Distributes air through the instrument panel vents, demister
vents, floor vents and rear seat floor vents. To return to full automatic
control, press AUTO.
8.
:Distributes air through the demister vents, floor vents and rear
seat floor vents. To return to full automatic control, press AUTO.
9.PASS TEMP (passenger temperature):Press to engage/disengage
separate passenger side temperature control. Turn to increase/decrease
the temperature on the passenger side of the vehicle. The recommended
initial setting is between 72°F (22°C) and 75°F (24°C), then adjust for
comfort. The passenger side temperature setting will appear in the upper
right corner of the display.
Each time the vehicle is started and driven without an occupant in the
front passenger seat, the climate control system may default to single
zone operation to improve fuel economy. This smart-zone feature will
turn off the passenger temperature display and the temperature control
will be based on the driver’s temperature setting. If dual zone operation
is desired without a front passenger present, press PASS TEMP or adjust
the passenger temperature normally. The system will remain in dual zone
mode.
To disable the smart-zone feature:Press and hold PASS TEMP for
more than four seconds. Both temperature displays will begin flashing to
signify that the feature has been disabled. The system will return to the
previous mode after PASS TEMP is release.
To re-enable the smart-zone feature:Press and hold PASS TEMP for
more than four seconds. The driver’s temperature display will begin
flashing to signify that the feature has been re-enabled. The system will
return to the previous mode after PASS TEMP is released.

11.Recirculated air:Press to activate/deactivate air recirculation
in the vehicle. Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time needed to
cool down the interior of the vehicle and, when used with A/C, may also
help reduce undesired odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle.
Recirculated air engages automatically when MAX A/C is selected or can
be engaged manually in any airflow mode except
(defrost).
Recirculated air may turn off automatically in all airflow modes except
MAX A/C. When the ignition switch is turned off and back on, the
climate system will return to the recirculated air mode only if the A/C
button LED is illuminated and the air distribution selection is
either
(panel) or(panel/floor).
12.MAX A/C:Activates air conditioning and distributes recirculated,
conditioned air through the instrument panel vents to provide maximum
cooling performance. Maximum cooling performance, however, may
decrease fuel efficiency in order to fully maintain interior cabin comfort.
13.A/C:Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with
recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Engages
automatically in MAX A/C,
(defrost) and(floor/defrost).
14.
Driver heated seat control (if equipped):Press to
activate/deactivate the driver heated seat. SeeHeated seatsin the
Seating and Safety Restraintschapter.
Outside temperature:The outside temperature will appear in the
