to the Safety Connect® and Entune® products. It provides charge support, comfort
support and drive support via the vehicle’s navigation system and the owner’s
smartphone. The Plug-in Hybrid Apps include Charge Management, Remote
Climate, Charging Station Map, Vehicle Finder and ECO Dashboard.
Both an active Safety Connect
® account and an active Entune® account are
required for the services.
The following functions of the Plug-in Hybrid Applications can be used with the
navigation system:
Type A Download of nearby charging stations to the map screen.

FEATURES/OPERATIONS
Starting your vehicle
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power for the
vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking force
generates electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In addition,
the engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel
economy, reduced vehicle emissions and improved performance.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Multi-Information Display.
Tips for improved fuel economy
-Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
-When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
-Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
-When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
-Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.

Auto lock/unlock
Automatic door locks can be programmed to operate in two different modes, or
turned OFF.
-Doors lock when shifting from Park.
-Doors lock when the vehicle speed is approximately 12 mph or higher.
-Doors unlock when shifting into Park.
-Doors unlock when the driver’s door is opened within 10 seconds after turning the
“POWER” switch OFF.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details. (1) Depress the brake pedal, and
press the “POWER” switch
briefly and firmly.
(2) The “READY” light will blink. After a few seconds, when the
light remains steady and a beep
sounds, you may begin driving.
