FRONT PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM
WARNING:Even with Advanced Restraints Systems, children 12
and under should be properly restrained in a rear seating position.
WARNING:Sitting improperly out of position or with the seat
back reclined too far can take off weight from the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the front passenger sensing system, resulting
in serious injury or death in a crash.
Always sit upright against your seatback, with your feet on the floor.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of possible serious injury:
Do not stow objects in seat back map pocket or hang objects off
seat back if a child is in the front passenger seat.
Do not place objects underneath the front passenger seat or between
the seat and the center console.
Check the passenger airbag off or pass airbag off indicator lamp for
proper airbag status.
Failure to follow these instructions may interfere with the passenger
seat sensing system.
WARNING:Any alteration or modification to the front passenger
seat may affect the performance of the front passenger sensing
system.
This system works with sensors that are part of the front passenger’s
seat and safety belt to detect the presence of a properly-seated occupant
and determine if the front passenger’s frontal airbag should be enabled
(may inflate) or not.
The front passenger sensing system
uses a pass airbag off indicator
which will illuminate and stay lit to
remind you that the front passenger
frontal airbag is disabled.
The indicator lamp is located under the climate controls. The indicator
lamp will illuminate for a short period of time when the ignition is turned
to the on position to confirm it is functional.

Common Displays
Note:Battery gauge information can be individually selected on or off
through Battery Display in the Options sub-menu. From any main display
a right arrow press on the steering wheel controls will take you to the
Options sub-menu.
Note:
For Energi vehicles there are two versions of the battery gauge.
When the vehicle is in Hybrid Mode the information is shown with a simple
battery graphic. When in Plug-in Power Mode an enhanced battery graphic
is provided and available electric range is added to the display. .
Battery Gauge:The high voltage battery gauge appears on the right
side of the information display screen. This provides Charge Fill (State of
Charge), Charge Assist and Regen Display.
•Charge Fill - The fill level, or State of Charge indicates the amount of
energy stored in the high voltage battery as a percent of total energy
capacity. The level will increase or 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.
•Charge Fill (Energi Plug-in Power Mode) - The fill level indicates the
amount of energy stored in the high voltage battery which is available
for Plug-in Power Mode. A full fill represents the total amount of
energy you can get from an external charge (plugging your vehicle in).
When the fill reaches empty your vehicle will automatically enter
Hybrid Mode
•Electric Range (Energi Plug-in Power Mode) - The electric range
estimate is based on the amount of battery energy currently available
in the high voltage battery and your typical energy usage while
driving. This includes your drive habits as well as your use of
accessories such as Climate Control. The battery energy refers
to the energy gained from charging the battery while plugged in.
•
Charge Assist - The up and down arrows provide information about the
energy going into and out of the high voltage battery. The up arrow
above the battery indicates battery charging such as from regenerative
braking. The down arrow below the battery indicates battery discharging
to provide power for propulsion or vehicle accessories
Note:The Charge Fill is always shown for Plug-in Power Mode, even if
Charge Fill is not selected under Battery Display in the Options sub-menu.
•Regen Display-Acircular arrow symbol appears in the center of
the Battery Gauge when energy is being recaptured through the
regenerative braking system.

•Split Power— 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.
•Power + Threshold — When the transmission is in a drive gear only,
this gauge shows you vehicle power demand and gasoline engine
on/off threshold. It is designed to show you how close you are to
the gasoline engine on/off threshold and how much power you are
requesting by how much you press on the accelerator pedal.
•Tach rpm x 1000— When the gasoline engine is running, the
tachometer gauge displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute
(RPM). When the vehicle is operating on battery power only, EV is
displayed and the tachometer is greyed out.
•Accessory Power— Indicates electrical power demands from your
vehicle’s accessory systems. Accessories use power but do not
contribute to propelling the vehicle. The gauge separately displays
power demand in kilowatts (kW) for climate and other accessories.
Climate includes the power being used by high voltage climate control
components such as the electric A/C compressor and the electric
heater (Energi vehicles only). Other includes all power being used by
the low voltage accessories (cabin fans, headlights, heated seats, etc.)
•Battery Display — The high voltage battery display options include
Regen Active, Charge Assist and Charge Level.
•Regen Active — A circular arrow symbol appears over the center of
the battery when energy is being recaptured through the regenerative
braking system.
•Charge Assist — An arrow above the battery indicates the battery is
being charged; an arrow below the battery indicates that battery
power is being used for propulsion or to power the vehicle
accessories.
