Vehicle Range
Indicates the estimated distance the
vehicle will travel with the energy currently
available. For Hybrid, the vehicle range
estimate is based on the fuel remaining in
the gasoline tank. For Energi, the total
estimated range equals the range
available in Hybrid Mode fueled by
gasoline, plus the electric range available
in Plug-in Power Mode. Changes in driving
pattern may cause the values to vary.
Inform
Inform shows the fuel level, battery display
and average fuel economy, with options
available for the Battery Display and an
Instantaneous Fuel Economy gauge. When
the vehicle is operating on battery power
only with the engine off, EV is displayed. Enlighten
Enlighten displays power demand in
addition to the typical information and
options from Inform. The Instantaneous
Fuel Economy gauge will be displayed by
default. When the vehicle is operating on
battery power only with the engine off, EV
is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in
blue. When both the engine and high
voltage battery are providing power the
gauge fill is white.
Engage
Engage replaces the power demand
gauge from Enlighten with separate
gauges for engine power and high voltage
battery power. The engine power gauge
fill is white and the high voltage battery
power gauge fill is blue. When the vehicle
is operating on battery power only with
the engine off, EV is displayed.

The thermometer indicator next to the
gauge will illuminate in blue or white to
indicate the following:
•
Blue thermometer - This indicates that
the hybrid system is not warm enough
to allow EV operation. The gasoline
engine will typically run continuously
when the indicator is blue.
Note: During silent key start mode, the
thermometer indicator will be blue, but the
gasoline engine will not run. This is the
result of the vehicle computer allowing the
engine to be cooler during the silent key
start period. This is normal operation and
does not indicate a problem with your
vehicle. After the first engine start the
indicator will turn white when the gasoline
engine is warm enough to turn off. •
White thermometer - This indicates that
the hybrid system is warm enough to
allow EV operation. If the vehicle
operates on battery power long
enough, it is possible that the gasoline
engine may need to run to keep the
system warm. In this case, the
thermometer indicator will revert back
to blue.
• 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 with the engine off, EV is
displayed and the tachometer is
greyed out.
Note: The trip data, and average fuel
economy cannot be reset in MyView.

• 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 inter\
val being the most
recent. Total time for the 5 intervals is shown at the bottom of the view. Intervals
shown in grey color are from the previous drive.
Note: You can reset your average fuel economy by pressing and holding the OK button
on the left hand steering wheel controls.
• Coach:
This view provides a comparison of your recent Acceleration, Braking an\
d
Cruising behavior to what is recommended for most efficient use of energ\
y under
present conditions. The horizontal bars fill from left to right with bes\
t behavior (and
Blue color) shown as at least half full. When the bars are less than ha\
lf full, the color
is Amber, suggesting that a change in behavior is needed to achieve better energ\
y
efficiency.
Note: 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.
Info In this mode, you can view
different vehicle system
information and perform a
system check.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air
may cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless of
the air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area at the base of the
windshield. Automatic Climate Control
Note:
Do not adjust the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold.
The system automatically adjusts to the
previously stored settings. For the system
to function efficiently, the instrument panel
and side air vents should be fully open.
Note: At low ambient temperatures with
AUTO selected, the system directs air
toward the windshield and side windows
for as long as the engine remains cold.
Note: When you switch the system off,
outside air cannot enter your vehicle.
Note: When the system is in AUTO mode,
and the interior and exterior temperatures
are high, the system automatically selects
recirculated air to maximize cooling of the
interior. When the system reaches the
selected air temperature, it automatically
switches to outside air.
