ENERGY FLOW SCREEN
The energy flow screen is a graphical representation of how power is
transferred within the hybrid system to accelerate the vehicle or
recharge the battery. These screens are informational and do not require
any input from you.
Note:Due to the screen updates and simplification of the graphics, the
display may not show the actual vehicle status.
1.Engine Power:This line represents how much power is being
transferred from the engine to the wheels.
2.Engine:This icon represents the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE).
It will be highlighted only when the ICE is running.

3.Generator Power:This line represents how much power is being
generated by the engine for use by the High Voltage (HV) electric
system, or how much power is being used by the High Voltage (HV)
electric system to control/start the engine.
4.High Voltage (HV) Battery:This icon represents your High Voltage
Battery. It will be highlighted when power is transferred to and from the
battery. The fill level represents the state of charge of your HV Battery.
The fill level will increase and decrease as the battery charges and
discharges during normal operation, but the hybrid system will attempt
to control the level to approximately the middle of the gauge under most
driving conditions.
5.Battery Power:This line represents how much power the HV battery
is providing to accelerate the vehicle (discharging), or how much power
is being delivered from the motor to the battery (charging).
Note:The battery power line includes battery power being used to
propel the vehicle. It does not include energy being used by accessories
(i.e., air conditioning, headlights, radio, etc.)
6.Electric motor:This icon represents the hybrid electric motor. This
symbol will be highlighted to indicate that the vehicle is ready to be
driven.
7.Motor power:This line represents how much power is being
transferred between the wheels and the hybrid electric motor.
The energy flow screens contain a title to indicate which mode is active
within the hybrid system.
InHybrid Drivemode, the vehicle
is being powered by both the
electric motor and the engine.

911 ASSIST™ PRIVACY NOTICE: Once 911 Assist™ is enabled
(set to ON) by you, 911 Assist™ may, through any paired and
connected cell phone, disclose to emergency services that the
vehicle has been in a crash involving the deployment of an airbag
or, in certain vehicles, the activation of the fuel pump shut-off.
Certain versions or updates to 911 Assist™ may also be capable
of electronically or verbally disclosing to 911 operators the
vehicle location, and/or other details about the vehicle or crash to
assist 911 operators to provide the most appropriate emergency
services. If you do not want to disclose this information, do not
enable (set to ON) the feature.
Note:If 911 Assist™ is enabled/disabled by any user, the current setting
will apply for all paired phones. If the 911 Assist™ setting is disabled
(set to OFF), a voice message and/or display item will inform the vehicle
occupants when a previously paired phone connects to SYNCat vehicle
start up.
In the event of a crash involving the deployment of an airbag or the
activation of the fuel pump shut-off, SYNCis designed to assist
occupants in attempting to contact emergency services by dialing 911
through the occupant’s paired and connectedBluetoothenabled cellular
phone. In the event that a connected cellular phone is damaged or loses
connection to SYNC, SYNCwill search for and connect to any
available, previously paired cell phone and attempt to place the call to
911. Before initiating the call, SYNC provides a short window of time
(approximately 10 seconds) that allows the driver or passenger to decide
whether to cancel the call by pressing and holding
on the steering
wheel controls. Before initiating the 911 call for the occupants, SYNC
will say the following or a similar message:
“SYNCwill attempt to call 911. If you wish to cancel the call, press and
hold the phone button.”
If the call is not cancelled and a successful call is made, a pre-recorded
message will be played for the 911 operator and then the occupant(s) in
the vehicle will be able to communicate with the 911 operator.
Note:Failure to cancel the call by pressing
will result in SYNC
dialing 911.
Note:When you are connected to the 911 operator, be prepared to
provide your name, phone number and location immediately, because not
all 911 systems are capable of receiving this information electronically.
