WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may
become serious enough to cause extensive repairs. A warning light may
illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions.
Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the
bulbs work. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, refer to the
respective system light explanation later in this section for additional
information.
Note:Some warning lights are reconfigurable telltale (RTT) indicators;
they will display in the message center and function the same as the
warning light, but they will not display on startup as regular warning
lights do.
Service engine soon:The service
engine soon light illuminates when
the ignition is turned to the on
position to check the bulb.
•Illuminates with key on, vehicle off:If the light illuminates, the
service engine soon light is working properly.
•Illuminates with key on, vehicle off, then starts to blink:The
light illuminates when the ignition is turned to the on position to
check the bulb and to indicate whether the vehicle is ready for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing. If after 15 seconds the service
engine soon light blinks eight times, it means that the vehicle is not
ready for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing. This can occur if the
vehicle’s engine or transmission has just been serviced, or the battery

Enlighten, Engage and Empower instrument cluster levels only:The
up and down arrows provide information about the energy (both stored
and used) associated with the high voltage battery. The up arrow
indicates battery charging, such as when extra energy is stored in the
battery when coasting or braking. The down arrow indicates battery
discharging such as when the battery provides extra power to boost the
vehicle’s acceleration.
Engage and Empower instrument cluster levels only:A circular
symbol appears in the center of the gauge when energy is being
recaptured through the regenerative braking system. This indicates that
your hybrid vehicle is capturing and using energy that would have been
lost in a conventional vehicle. The regenerative braking system can be
activated by braking or coasting (i.e. even when you’re not pressing the
brake pedal).
Note:The up/down arrows include energy being used by accessories
(i.e. air conditioning, headlights, radio, etc.).
Fuel gauge:With the ignition on,
this gauge indicates approximately
how much fuel is left in the fuel
tank. The fuel gauge may vary
slightly when the vehicle is in
motion or on a grade. When fuel
level becomes low (50 miles [80 km]
to empty), the level indicator will
change to bright yellow. When fuel
level becomes critically low (0 miles
[0 km] to empty), the level indicator
will change to red.
The fuel icon with the arrow points to the side of the vehicle that the
fuel filler door is on.
Refer toFilling the tankin theMaintenance and Specifications
chapter for more information.

EV mode only (enlighten
instrument cluster level only):
When the hybrid system is operating
in electric vehicle mode only, EV is
displayed.
Split power gauge (engage
instrument cluster level only):
This gauge indicates the power
being supplied by the vehicle’s two
power sources: the high voltage
battery and the gasoline engine.
When the hybrid system is operating
in electric vehicle mode (without
the gasoline engine), “EV” is
displayed.
Maximum displayed gasoline engine
power is greater than the maximum displayed battery power.
Accessory power gauge
(empower instrument cluster
level only):This gauge indicates
electrical power demands from your
vehicle’s accessory systems.
Accessories such as air conditioning,
headlights, and radio use power but
do not contribute to propelling the
vehicle. The higher the level
indication on this gauge, the more
accessory power is being used. You
can see the level of this gauge change by turning accessories on and off.

GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATION
Radio frequencies:
AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:
AM: 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz
FM: 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz
Radio reception factors:
There are three factors that can affect radio reception:
•Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the
weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
•Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
•Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal
may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency
is displayed.
