Control System
The climate control buttons and the
touch screen are used to adjust the
heating, cooling, and ventilation.
The vehicle may require the use of
an auxiliary heat source under
certain cold conditions. This
provides additional heating and
defrost capability obtained by
running the engine, even if the high voltage battery is adequately
charged. Under these conditions,
the engine will start and use fuel.
Make sure there is fuel in the tank.
Do not allow the vehicle to remain in
extreme temperatures for long
periods without being driven or
being plugged in.

Fan Only Mode:The air
conditioning and electric heat are
turned off. As long as

selected, the climate control settings
may not have a noticeable effect on
the vehicle electric range and fuel
economy.
When in Fan Only mode, the AUTO
indicator light will be off. When

more information on the Auto Defog

moderate comfort.
Comfort Mode: The air
conditioning and electric heat are
controlled to reach the best comfort
level based on the temperature
setting selected. In this mode,
vehicle electric range or fuel
economy will decrease depending
on the amount of energy required to
reach the best comfort levels.

the Climate Power gauge displays
the impact that user setting changes
have on energy consumption. The
higher the reading, the more energy
is being used.
