a preceding vehicle.
• vehicle speed falls below 16 mph
(25 km/h)
• the ambient light level is high enough
that high beams are not required
• the system detects severe rain, snow or
fog
• the camera is blocked
Activating the System
Switch on the system using the information

POWER WINDOWS
WARNINGS
Do not leave children unattended in
your vehicle and do not let them play
with the power windows. They may seriously
injure themselves. When closing the power windows, you
should verify they are free of
obstructions and make sure that children and
pets are not in the proximity of the window
openings. Note:
Window operation may stop or delay
during low battery conditions and engine
re-cranking. It will resume after the engine
starts. Note:
You may hear a pulsing noise when
just one of the windows are open. Lower the
opposite window slightly to reduce this
noise.
Press the switch to open the window.
Lift the switch to close the window.
One-Touch Down
Press the switch fully and release it. Press

The window will stop automatically while
closing. It will reverse some distance if there
is an obstacle in the way.
Overriding the Bounce-Back Feature
WARNING
When you override the bounce-back
feature, the window will not reverse if
it detects an obstacle. Take care when
closing the windows to avoid personal injury
or damage to your vehicle. Pull up the window switch and hold within

You can adjust the interior mirror to your
preference. Some mirrors also have a second
pivot point. This lets you move the mirror
head up or down and from side to side.

and back of the mirror. Mirror performance
may be affected. A rear center passenger
or raised rear center head restraint may also
block light from reaching the sensor.
The mirror will dim automatically to reduce
glare when bright lights are detected from
behind your vehicle. It will automatically
return to normal reflection when you select
reverse gear to make sure you have a clear
view when backing up. SUN VISORS Rotate the sun visor toward the side window

Odometer
Located in the bottom of the display. It
registers the accumulated distance your
vehicle has traveled.
Battery Gauge
The high voltage battery gauge provides
Charge Fill (State of Charge), Charge Assist,
and Regen Active information.
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. 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.
This feature can be switched on or off in the
information displays settings menu. See
General Information (page 109).
Regen Active
A circular arrow symbol appears in the center
of the battery gauge when energy is being
recaptured through the regenerative braking
system. This feature can be switched on or off in the
information displays settings menu.
See
General Information (page 109).
Fuel Gauge
Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly when
your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much fuel is left
in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the
fuel pump symbol indicates on which side of
your vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
The needle should move toward F when you
refuel your vehicle. If the needle points to E
after adding fuel, this indicates your vehicle
needs service soon.
After refueling some variability in needle
position is normal:
