Efficiency Leaves
Efficiency leaves indicate short term driving
efficiency measured over the last few
minutes. The more leaves and vines that
appear on the display, the better your fuel
economy. Leaves and vines will occasionally
appear and disappear to indicate a change
in your driving efficiency.
Flowers appear on the efficiency leaves
screen in addition to the leaves and vines.
The flowers indicate long term driving
efficiency. The more flowers that appear on
the display, the more efficiently you have
driven. Once earned, the flowers will remain
unless reset, unlike the leaves, which come
and go as your short term fuel economy
changes. This feature can be reset in the information
displays settings menu under Driving History.
See General Information (page 109).
Fuel History
From left to right this view includes an
instantaneous fuel economy gauge, historical
fuel economy data and average fuel
economy. The historical data represents an
average over time intervals of either 1, 2 or
6 minutes, with the leftmost interval being
the most recent. Shown at the bottom of the
view is the total time duration for the 5
intervals. You can select total duration in the
options menu. Intervals shown in grey color
are from the previous drive. The blue
horizontal line represents the average fuel
economy value shown to the right. Note:
Hold
OK to reset average fuel
economy.
Coach
This view provides a comparison of your
recent acceleration, braking and cruising
behavior, then recommends the most
efficient use of energy under present
conditions. The horizontal bars fill from left
to right with best behavior and appear blue
when at least half full. When the bars are less
than half full, the color is amber, suggesting
that you need a change in your driving
behavior to achieve better energy efficiency.
Note: Fuel Economy will be impacted by your
use of brakes, accelerator and accessories,
as well as environmental conditions such as
hills and weather.

HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
This hybrid vehicle combines electric and
gasoline propulsion to provide performance
and efficiency. It requires no special fuels
and you never have to plug it in.
Note:
You may notice higher engine speeds
upon start-up. This temporary condition is
normal and necessary to heat up the cabin
and minimize emissions. Starting: Switch the ignition on
while your transmission is in park
(P). The green ready indicator light
will appear in the instrument cluster, letting
you know that the vehicle is ready for driving.
The engine may not start because this
vehicle is equipped with silent key start. This
fuel saving feature allows your vehicle to be
ready to drive without requiring the gas
engine to be running. This indicator will
remain on while the vehicle is on, whether the engine is running or not to indicate the
vehicle is capable of movement (using its
electric motor, engine, or both). Typically, the
engine will not start unless the vehicle is
cold, you make a climate control change, or
you press the accelerator.
Driving:
The gas engine automatically starts
and stops to provide power when needed
and to save fuel when not needed. While
coasting at low speeds, coming to a stop, or
standing, the gas engine normally shuts
down and the vehicle operates in
electric-only mode. Conditions that may
cause the engine to start up or remain
running include:
• Considerable vehicle acceleration.
• Vehicle speed above 85 mph (137 km/h)
However, the maximum speed for
electric–only operation may be lower
while driving in hot temperatures or on
hilly terrain.
• Ascending a hill.
• Charge level of high voltage battery is
low. •
Very high or low outside temperature (to
provide system cooling or heating).
• Engine not warm enough to provide
passenger requested cabin temperature.
Stopping:
The gas engine may shut off to
conserve fuel as you come to a stop.
Restarting the vehicle is not required. Simply
step on the accelerator when you are ready
to drive.
Transmission Operation:
Due to the
technologically advanced,
electronically-controlled continuously
variable transaxle, you will not feel shift
changes like those of a non-hybrid vehicle.
Note: Since engine speed is controlled by
the transmission, it may seem elevated at
times. This is normal hybrid operation and
helps deliver fuel efficiency and
performance.
Neutral:
It is not recommended to idle the
vehicle in neutral (N) for an extended period
of time because this will discharge your high
voltage battery and decrease fuel economy.
The engine will not start, and cannot provide
power to the hybrid system in neutral (N).

Answer
Question
Your vehicle's engine and transmission are designed to deliver thepower you need at the most efficient engine speed. This may be
higher than expected during heavy accelerations, and may fluctuate
during steady state driving. These are characteristics of the Atkinson engine cycle and the transmission technology that help maximize your hybrid's fuel economy.
Why does my engine rev up so high sometimes when I accelerate?
The fan noise comes from a fan located outside the high voltage
battery. This fan turns on when the battery requires cooling air. The
fan speed, and associated noise level, will change according to the
amount of cooling required to maintain good performance. Maintaining
the battery temperature at optimal conditions also prolongs the useful life of the battery and helps to achieve better fuel economy. Do not
place objects on the package tray which could block air flow through the hybrid vehicle battery cooling vents.
What is the fan noise I hear from the rear of my hybrid?
Running out of gas is not recommended. However, you may be ableto go about one mile, driving at 30 mph (48 km/h), if the battery has a normal state of charge.
How far can I go in Electric Drive if I run out of gas?
Change the engine oil every 10000 miles (16000 km) under normaloperating conditions. See Scheduled Maintenance (page 468).
What is the engine oil change service interval?
Your hybrid vehicle can use E15 (15% ethanol, 85% gasoline) fuel, butyou may notice slightly reduced fuel economy because ethanol
contains less energy per gallon than gasoline. Your hybrid vehicle is not designed to use E85 (85% ethanol).
Can I put E15 or E85 in my vehicle, and how will it affect my fuel
economy?

The system does not position the vehicle where I want in the space
A parked vehicle has a high attachment (for example, a salt sprayer, snowplow, or a moving truck bed).
The parking space length or position of parked objects changed after your vehicle passed.
The temperature around your vehicle changes quickly (for instance, driving from a heated garage into the cold, or after leaving a car was\
h).
REAR VIEW CAMERA (If Equipped) WARNINGS
The rear view camera system is a
reverse aid supplement device that still
requires the driver to use it in conjunction
with the interior and exterior mirrors for
maximum coverage. Objects that are close to either corner
of the bumper or under the bumper,
might not be seen on the screen due to the
limited coverage of the camera system. Back up as slow as possible since
higher speeds might limit your reaction
time to stop your vehicle. WARNINGS
Use caution when using the rear video
camera and the trunk is ajar. If the trunk
is ajar, the camera will be out of position and
the video image may be incorrect. All
guidelines (if enabled) have been removed
when the trunk is ajar. Use caution when turning camera
features on or off while in reverse (R).
Make sure your vehicle is not moving. The rear view camera system provides a
video image of the area behind your vehicle.
The image will display in either the rear view
mirror or the display in the center of the
instrument panel.During operation, lines will appear in the
display that represent your vehicle
’s path
and proximity to objects behind your vehicle. The camera is located on the trunk near the
high-mount brake lamp.

alarm will sound and the automatic braking
releases if the vehicle drops below this
speed.
Hilly Condition Usage
Note:
An audible alarm will sound and the
system will shut down if it is applying brakes
for an extended period of time. This allows
the brakes to cool down. The system will
function normally again when the brakes
have cooled down.
You should select a lower gear position
when the system is active in situations such
as prolonged downhill driving on steep
grades, for example in mountainous areas.
