vehicle. This can help avoid or
lessen the severity of crashes when
driving in a forward gear.
SeeFront Automatic Braking (FAB)
System 0217.
Lane Departure
Warning (LDW)
LDW may help avoid unintentional
lane departures at speeds of
56 km/h (35 mph) or greater. LDW
uses a camera sensor to detect the
lane markings. The LDW light,
@, is
green if a lane marking is detected.
If the vehicle departs the lane, the
light will change to amber and flash.
In addition, the driver seat will pulse
or beeps will sound.
See Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) 0220.
Lane Change Alert (LCA)
If equipped, the LCA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists
drivers with avoiding lane change
crashes that occur with moving
vehicles in the side blind zone (or
spot) areas or with vehicles rapidly approaching these areas from
behind. The LCA warning display
will light up in the corresponding
outside side mirror and will flash if
the turn signal is on. The Side Blind
Zone Alert (SBZA) system is
included as part of the LCA system.
See
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
0 218 andLane Change Alert
(LCA) 0218.
Rear Vision
Camera (RVC)
RVC displays a view of the area
behind the vehicle on the center
stack display when the vehicle is
shifted into R (Reverse).
See Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0212.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) System
If equipped, the RCTA system uses
a triangle with an arrow displayed
on the RVC screen to warn of traffic
behind your vehicle that may cross your vehicle's path while in
R (Reverse). In addition, beeps will
sound, or the driver seat will pulse.
See
Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0212.
Parking Assist
Front and Rear Parking Assist
(FRPA) uses sensors on the front
and rear bumper to assist with
parking and avoiding objects.
It operates at speeds less than
8 km/h (5 mph). FRPA may display a
warning triangle on the Rear Vision
Camera screen and a graphic on
the instrument cluster to provide the
distance to an object behind the
vehicle. In addition, multiple beeps
or seat pulses may occur if very
close to an object.
See Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0212.
Power Outlets
The accessory power outlets can be
used to plug in electrical equipment,
such as a cell phone or MP3 player.

28 In Brief
Driving Style
Efficiency Gauge (Instrument
Cluster)
The leaf indicator or green ring
indicator should be kept green and
in the center of the gauge.
Inefficient acceleration is indicated
when the ring turns yellow or the
leaf turns yellow and travels above
the center of the gauge.
Aggressive braking is indicated
when the ring turns yellow or the
leaf turns yellow and travels below
the center of the gauge.
Acceleration/Braking/Coasting
Avoid unnecessary rapid
accelerations and decelerations.
Electric range is maximized at
80 km/h (50 mph) and below. Higher
speeds use more energy and can
significantly reduce electric range.
Use cruise control when
appropriate.Plan ahead for decelerations and
coast whenever possible. For
example, do not rush to traffic
signals.
Do not shift to N (Neutral) to coast.
The vehicle recovers energy while
coasting and braking in D (Drive)
or L (Low).
Drive Mode and PRNDL Selection
Use Tour Mode when possible.
Sport Mode provides more
responsive acceleration than Tour
Mode, but can reduce efficiency.
The engine will start with Sport
Mode to provide additional
acceleration, even if the battery is
charged.
Use Mountain Mode prior to
climbing long, steep grades in
mountainous areas. Be sure to
engage Mountain Mode 20 minutes
before starting to climb. Mountain
Mode reduces electric range and
power, but may be needed to
maintain speeds above 100 km/h
(60 mph) when climbing grades of
5% or greater.Use Hold Mode on a trip where all
or most of the electric charge will be
depleted. Use Hold Mode mainly
during highway or high-speed
driving to maximize both electric
vehicle miles and fuel efficiency.
Use L (Low) in heavy stop-and-go
traffic or when traveling downhill.
L (Low) requires less brake pedal
application and provides a
controlled, efficient way to slow the
vehicle down.
Climate Setting
Using the heat and air conditioning
systems decreases the energy
available for electric driving.
Optimal energy efficiency is
achieved with the heat, air
conditioning, and fan turned off.
Less energy is used at low fan
speeds. When using the fan:
.
MIN is the most energy efficient
climate setting as long as
0is
not selected.
