•Fuel History: This view from left to right starts with the instantaneous
fuel economy gauge and adds historical fuel economy data. The data
is represented as an average for time intervals of either 1, 2 or
6 minutes, with the left most interval being the most recent. Total
time for the 5 intervals is shown at the bottom of the view. Interval
time can be selected in the options sub menu. For Energi vehicles a
blue outline indicates Plug-in Power was used at least half of that
interval. Intervals shown in grey color are from the previous drive.
•Coach: This view provides a comparison of your recent Acceleration,
Braking and Cruising behavior to what is recommended for most
efficient use of energy under present conditions. The horizontal bars
fill from left to right with best behavior (and Blue color) shown as at
least half full. When the bars are less than half full, the color is Amber,
suggesting that a change in behavior is needed to achieve better
energy efficiency.
Note that fuel economy is not always a measure of appropriate driving
behavior. For example, when driving uphill and maintaining an
appropriate speed, your instant fuel economy may not be good (losing
leaves) but the Coach may show a blue bar for Acceleration or Cruising.

HEATED SEATS (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord
injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other physical conditions,
must exercise care when using the seat heater. The seat heater may
cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long
periods of time. Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion, because this may cause the seat
heater to overheat. Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles, or
other pointed objects because this may damage the heating element
which may cause the seat heater to overheat. An overheated seat may
cause serious personal injury.
Note:Do not do the following:
•Place heavy objects on the seat.
•Operate the seat heater if water or any other liquid is spilled on the
seat. Allow the seat to dry thoroughly.
•Operate the heated seats unless the engine is running. Doing so could
drain your vehicle’s battery.
Adjust the control to the desired
heat setting.

Programming
Note:Put a new battery in the hand-held transmitter. This will ensure
quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
1. With your vehicle parked outside of the garage and your key in the
ignition, turn the key so that the ignition is in the on position.
2. Hold your hand-held, garage door
transmitter 1–3 inches (2–8 centimeters)
away from the HomeLink button you want
to program.
3.
Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold the desired HomeLink
button and the hand-held transmitter button. DO NOT release either one
until the HomeLink indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly. When
the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. The rapid
flashing indicates successful training.
4.Press and hold the HomeLink button you programmed for five seconds,
then release. You may need to do this twice to activate the door. If your
garage door does not operate, watch the HomeLink indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on, the programming is complete. Press and
release the programmed HomeLink button, and then begin programming
your garage door opener. See below for Steps5–7.
If the indicator light flashes rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a
constant light, the HomeLink button is not programmed yet. Do the
following:
Press and hold the HomeLink button while you press and release the
hand-held transmitter button every two seconds. The HomeLink indicator
light will flash slowly and then rapidly once the HomeLink function button
recognizes and accepts the hand-held transmitter’s radio frequency signal.

AUXILIARY POWER POINTS
WARNING:Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the
cigarette lighter socket (if equipped). Improper use of the lighter
can cause damage not covered by your warranty, and can result in fire
or serious injury.
Note:If used when the engine is not running, the battery will discharge.
There may be insufficient power to restart your engine.
Note:Do not insert objects other than an accessory plug into the power
point. This will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Note:Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the
plug.
Note:Do not use the power point over the vehicle capacity of 12 volts
DC 180 watts or a fuse may blow.
Note:Do not use the power point for operating a cigarette lighter
element.
Note:Improper use of the power point can cause damage not covered
by your warranty.
Note:Always keep the power point caps closed when not in use.
Run the engine for full capacity use of the power point. To prevent the
battery from being discharged:
•Do not use the power point longer than necessary when the engine is
not running.
•Do not leave devices plugged in overnight or when the vehicle is
parked for extended periods.
Locations
Power points may be found:
•on the front of the center console
•inside the center console
•in the luggage compartment.

110 Volt AC Power Point (If Equipped)
WARNING:Do not keep electrical devices plugged in the power
point whenever the device is not in use. Do not use any
extension cord with the 110 volt AC power point, since it will defeat
the safety protection design. Doing so my cause the power point to
overload due to powering multiple devices that can reach beyond the
150 watt load limit and could result in fire or serious injury.
Note:The power point will turn off when the ignition is switched off or
the battery voltage drops below 11 volts.
The power point is used for powering
electrical devices that require up to
150 watts. It is located on the rear of
the center console.
When the indicator light, located on the power point, is:
•on — power point is working, ignition is on and a device is plugged in.
•off — power point is off, ignition is off or no device is plugged in.
•blinking — power point is in fault mode
The power point temporarily turns off power if the 150 watt limit is
exceeded. It can also switch to a fault mode when it is overloaded,
overheated, or shorted. Unplug your device and turn the ignition off then
on for overloading and shorting conditions. Let the system cool off, then
turn the ignition off then on for an overheating condition.
The power point is not designed for electric devices such as:
•Cathode ray tube type televisions
•Motor loads, such as vacuum cleaners, electric saws and other electric
power tools, compressor-driven refrigerators, etc.
•Measuring devices, which process precise data, such as medical
equipment, measuring equipment, etc.
•Other appliances requiring an extremely stable power supply:
microcomputer-controlled electric blankets, touch sensor lamps, etc.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING:Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce
very high temperatures in the engine and exhaust system,
creating the risk of fire or other damage.
WARNING:Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle on dry grass
or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
WARNING:Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or in
other enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open
the garage door before you start the engine.
WARNING:If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer immediately.
Do not drive if you smell exhaust fumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers) after
you connect it. This is because the engine management system must
realign itself with the engine. You may disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
The powertrain control system meets all Canadian interference-causing
equipment standard requirements regulating the impulse electrical field
or radio noise.
Do not press the accelerator pedal while starting the engine. If you have
difficulty starting the engine, seeFailure to startlater in this section.
