HD Radio™ Information (If Available)
Note:HD Radio broadcasts are not available in all markets.
HD Radio technology is the digital evolution of analog AM/FM radio.
Your system has a special receiver that allows it to receive digital
broadcasts (where available) in addition to the analog broadcasts,
it already receives. Digital broadcasts provide a better sound quality
than analog broadcasts with free, crystal-clear audio and no static or
distortion. For more information, and a guide to available stations and
programming, please visit www.hdradio.com.
When HD Radio is on and you tune to a station broadcasting HD Radio
technology, you may notice the following indicators on your screen:
HD) logoblinks when acquiring a digital station and stays solid
when digital audio is playing. When this logo is available, you
may also see Title and Artist fields on-screen.
Multicast indicatorappears in FM mode (only) if the current station is
broadcasting multiple digital broadcasts. The highlighted numbers signify
available digital channels where new or different content is available.
HD1 signifies the main programming status and is available in analog and
digital broadcasts. Other multicast stations (HD2 through HD7) are only
available digitally.
TA Gallows you to save a song to download later when you are on an
acquired HD Radio station and the feature is on. To turn the feature on
and use it:
1. PressAMorFM>Options>TA Gbutton >On.
2. When you hear a song you like, touchTAG.
3. The system automatically saves the song’s information and transfers
it to your portable music player (if supported) when you connect it
to the system. The system automatically transfers the tag to your
player (if already connected) and a pop-up confirms the transfer.
4. When you access iTunes® with your portable music player, the tags
appear to you as a reminder. The system allows you to tag up to
approximately 100 songs. For a list of devices that support tagging,
see www.SYNCMyRide.com, www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.

When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you can access the following
functions:
•Scanallows you to hear a brief sampling of all available stations. This
feature still works when HD Radio reception is on, although it does
not scan for HD2-HD7 channels. You may see the HD logo appear if
the station has a digital broadcast.
•Memory presetsallow you to save an active channel as a memory
preset. Touch and hold a memory preset slot until the sound returns.
There is a brief mute while the radio saves the station. Sound returns
when finished. When switching to an HD2 or HD3 memory preset, the
sound mutes before the digital audio plays, because the system has to
reacquire the digital signal.
•Note:As with any saved radio station, you cannot access the
saved station if your vehicle is outside the station’s reception area.
HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
Potential Reception Issues
Reception areaIf you are listening to a multicast station and
you are on the fringe of the reception area,
the station may mute due to weak signal
strength.
If you are listening to HD1, the system
switches back to the analog broadcast until
the digital broadcast is available again.
However, if you are listening to any of the
possible HD2 through HD7 multicast
channels, the station mutes and stays muted
unless it is able to connect to the digital
signal again.
Station blendingWhen the system first receives a station
(aside from HD2-HD7 multicast stations), it
first plays the station in the analog version.
Once the receiver verifies the station is an HD
Radio station, it shifts to the digital version.
Depending on the station quality, you may
hear a slight sound change when the station
changes from analog to digital. Blending is the
shift from analog to digital sound or digital
back to analog sound.

The system also alerts you to any conflicts by highlighting areas of the
screen in yellow. If your battery cannot have a full charge by the
scheduled drive time, the system highlights the current My GO Time and
Actual Charge End Time and a messageCharge at GO Time: under
100%appears. This is normal; the vehicle is informing you of the
conflicting situation. This notification only displays when the gearshift
selector lever is in positionP.
Note:Charging occurs as soon as you plug the vehicle in. The system
limits cabin conditioning to 15 minutes before the My GO Time.
To eliminate the conflict notification immediately or to prevent a conflict
in the future, try the following:
•Change the present My GO Time to occur later.
•Plug the vehicle into a 240V charging station instead of 120V
convenience cord. Higher power charging yields shorter charge times.
•Plug the vehicle in sooner.
Estimated Charge Time Limits
Batteryshows you the battery’s current charge displayed as a
percentage. A reading of 100% means the battery has a full charge.
A reading of 0% means the battery has no charge.
To fully charge
•240Vis the estimated minimum charging time from the current
high-voltage battery level to full charge (100%). This represents the
shortest amount of time you should expect the high-voltage battery
to recharge under ideal conditions. Ideal conditions include a 240V
charging station and a minimum 30A service and high-voltage battery
at a moderate temperature.
Note:This charging time is only an estimate. It is normal for your actual
charge duration to be longer.
Note:Some charging stations use lower voltage (208V), which result in
longer charge times.
•120Vis the estimated maximum charging time from the current
high-voltage battery level to full charge (100%). This represents the
longest amount of time you should expect the high-voltage battery to
recharge under normal conditions. Normal conditions include a 120V
convenience cord and 12A service.
Note:This charging time is only an estimate. It is possible for your
actual charge duration to be longer. This occurs when the AC line
voltage is low and may indicate your electrical source is not meeting
certain requirements (seeCharging the high-voltage batteryin the
High Voltage Batterychapter).

Power
This screen displays how the electric vehicle system transfers power in
order to accelerate or recharge the battery. The power flow screens show
power going to or through a component. These screens are for your
information only, and do not require any input from you.
Depending on your vehicle type, the power flow screen may vary in
order to show the appropriate components.
Note:Vehicle configuration and status displayed may not always match
actual vehicle state due to display constraints and simplified graphics.
A.Motor-to-wheel flowshows the direction of power flow between the
wheels and the electric motor.
B.Electric Motorrepresents the hybrid electric motor. The higher the
motor power is, the larger the circle around this node. Any time the
vehicle is ready to be driven, the motor node illuminates.
C.Battery-to-motor flowshows the direction of power flow between
the high-voltage battery and the electric motor. Flow toward the motor
indicates the battery is providing power to accelerate the vehicle
(discharging the battery). Flow toward the battery indicates the electric
motor is providing power to the battery (charging the battery).
Note:The battery-to-motor flow includes battery power the vehicle is
using for acceleration. It does not include energy the vehicle is using for
accessories (such as air conditioning, headlights and radio). This screen
displays accessories and climate usage separately.

D.Plug (Energi only)appears when you plug your vehicle into the
wall. When charging the high voltage battery from the wall, you can see
flow from the plug to the battery on the screen.
•Accessoriesindicates electrical power demands from your vehicle’s
accessory systems. Accessories use power but do not contribute to
making the vehicle move. The power flow displays power usage from
the climate control system and other accessories separately.
E.Otherincludes all power usage from the low voltage accessories such
as the climate control fan, headlights and heated seats. The higher the
power usage is from these accessories, the larger the circle around the
node. This node illuminates anytime the vehicle is on since there is
always some low level power in use.
F.Climateincludes the power usage from the high-voltage climate
control components such as the electric A/C compressor and the electric
heater (Energi only). The higher the power usage is from these
components, the larger the circle around this node.
Note:The climate control system may determine A/C is necessary even
when you turn it off. In this case, you may see some climate power when
the A/C is off.
G.High voltage battery powerrepresents your high-voltage battery.
A circle illuminates around the node when the high-voltage battery is
receiving power from regenerative braking, engine charging or external
charging (when you plug it in). The higher the power usage is from the
high-voltage battery, the larger the circle around this node.
H.Fuelrepresents the fuel tank in the vehicle.
I.Fuel-to-engine flowshows flow from the fuel tank to the engine
when the engine is on and using fuel (there are some cases where the
engine is on, but not using any fuel). When the engine is on, but not
using fuel, the engine node is active, but the fuel flow path is off. An
example of this is when your foot is off the accelerator pedal and the
vehicle is traveling at a high speed.
J.Engine On due toprovides you with the reason(s) the gasoline
engine is on. When the gasoline engine is off, this display does not
appear.Engine On due toreasons displayed by the system are in a
chart following this list.
K.Motor-to-engine flowshows the direction of power flow between the
engine and the electric motor. The direction indicates if the engine is
providing power to the high-voltage electrical system, or if the high-voltage
electrical system is providing power to control or start the engine.
