CRASH SENSORS AND
AIRBAG INDICATOR
WARNING
Modifying or adding equipment tothe front end of your vehicle(including frame, bumper, front endbody structure and tow hooks) may affectthe performance of the airbag system,increasing the risk of injury. Do not modifythe front end of your vehicle.
Your vehicle has a collection of crash andoccupant sensors which provideinformation to the restraints controlmodule which deploys (activates) thefront safety belt pretensioners, driverairbag, passenger airbag, knee airbag(s),seat mounted side airbags, and the SafetyCanopy. Based on the type of accident(frontal impact, side impact or rollover)the restraints control module will deploythe appropriate safety devices.
The restraints control module alsomonitors the readiness of the above safetydevices plus the crash and occupantsensors. A warning indicator light in theinstrument cluster indicates the readinessof the safety system. If this warningindicator light is not functioning and thereis another fault within the system, themessage cluster may display an airbagfailure warning. See InformationDisplays (page 93). You will hear fivetones that repeat periodically until yourepair the problem, the warning indicatorlight or both. Routine maintenance of theairbag is not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated byone or more of the following:
•The readiness light will not illuminateimmediately after the ignition is turnedon.
•The readiness light will either flash orstay lit.
•A series of five beeps will be heard. Thetone pattern will repeat periodicallyuntil the problem, the light or both arerepaired.
If any of these things happen, evenintermittently, have the supplementalrestraint system serviced at an authorizeddealer immediately. Unless serviced, thesystem may not function properly in theevent of a crash.
The safety belt pretensioners and theairbag supplemental restraint system isdesigned to activate when your vehiclesustains frontal or sideways decelerationsufficient to cause the restraints controlmodule to deploy a safety device or whena certain likelihood of a rollover event isdetected by the rollover sensor.
The fact that the safety belt pretensionersor airbags did not activate for both frontseat occupants in a crash does not meanthat something is wrong with the system.Rather, it means the restraints controlmodule determined the accidentconditions (for example, crash severity,belt usage) were not appropriate toactivate these safety devices.
•The design of the front airbags is toactivate only in frontal and near-frontalcrashes (not rollovers, side impacts orrear impacts) unless the crash causessufficient frontal deceleration.
•The safety belt pretensioners aredesigned to activate in frontal,near-frontal, side and rollover crashes.

Supplementary Restraints System

Setting the Liftgate Open Height
1. Open the liftgate.
2.Stop the liftgate movement by pressingthe control button on the liftgate whenit reaches the desired height.
Note:Once the liftgate has stoppedmoving, you can also manually move it tothe desired height.
3. Press and hold the liftgate controlbutton on the liftgate until you hear atone, indicating programming iscomplete.
Note: You can only use the liftgate controlbutton to program the height.
Note: You cannot program the height if theliftgate position is too low.
The new open liftgate height is recalledwhen the power liftgate is opened. Tochange the programmed height, repeat theabove procedure. Once you open thepower liftgate, you can manually move itto a different height.
Note:The system recalls the newprogrammed height until you reprogram it,even if you disconnect the battery.
When operating the power liftgate afteryou have programmed a lower height thanfully open, you can fully open the liftgateby manually pushing it upward to themaximum open position.
Obstacle Detection
When Closing
The system stops when it detects anobstacle. A tone sounds and the systemreverses to open. Once you remove theobstacle, you can power close the liftgate.
Note:Entering your vehicle while theliftgate is closing can cause your vehicle tobounce and activate obstacle detection. Toprevent this, let the power liftgate closecompletely before you enter your vehicle.Before driving off, check the instrumentcluster for a liftgate or door ajar message orwarning indicator. Failure to do this couldresult in unintentionally leaving the liftgateopen while driving.
When Opening
The system stops when it detects anobstacle and a tone sounds. Once youremove the obstacle, you can continue tooperate the liftgate.
Hands-Free Feature (If Equipped)
Make sure you have an intelligent accesstransmitter within 3 ft (1 m) of the liftgate.

Left Information Display
Odometer
Located in the bottom of the informationdisplay. Registers the accumulateddistance your vehicle has traveled.
Battery Gauge:
Note:For Energi vehicles there are twoversions of the battery gauge. When yourvehicle is in hybrid mode, a simple batterygraphic displays your battery information.When your vehicle is in plug-in power mode,an enhanced battery graphic displays yourbattery information.
The high voltage battery gauge providesCharge Fill (State of Charge), ChargeAssist and Regen Active information.
Charge Fill (Hybrid Mode)
The fill level, or State of Charge indicatesthe amount of energy stored in the highvoltage battery as a percent of total energycapacity. The level will increase ordecrease as the battery charges anddischarges during normal operation.
Charge Fill (Energi Plug-in Power Mode)
The fill level indicates the amount ofenergy stored in the high voltage batterywhich is available for Plug-in Power Mode.A full fill represents the total amount ofenergy you can get from an external charge(plugging your vehicle in). When the fillreaches empty your vehicle willautomatically enter Hybrid Mode.

Charge Assist
The up and down arrows provideinformation about the energy going intoand out of the high voltage battery. The uparrow above the battery indicates batterycharging such as from regenerative braking.The down arrow below the batteryindicates battery discharging to providepower for propulsion or vehicleaccessories.
Regen Active
A circular arrow symbol appears in thecenter of the battery gauge when energyis being recaptured through theregenerative braking system.
This feature can be switched on or off inthe information displays settings menu.See General Information (page 93).
Fuel Gauge:
Note:The fuel gauge may vary slightlywhen your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge willindicate approximately how much fuel isleft in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent tothe fuel pump symbol indicates on whichside of your vehicle the fuel filler door islocated.
The needle should move toward F whenyou refuel your vehicle. If the needle pointsto E after adding fuel, this indicates yourvehicle needs service soon.
After refueling some variability in needleposition is normal:
•It may take a short time for the needleto reach F after leaving the gas station.This is normal and depends upon theslope of pavement at the gas station.
•The fuel amount dispensed into thetank is a little less or more than thegauge indicated. This is normal anddepends upon the slope of pavementat the gas station.
•If the gas station nozzle shuts offbefore the tank is full, try a differentgas pump nozzle.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers when the fuelgauge needle is at 1/16th.
Variations:

The amount of energy being used whiledriving is affected by:
•Mild or aggressive acceleration orbraking.
•Your vehicle speed.
•Your use of accessories such as climatecontrol.
•The ambient temperature and otherweather conditions.
•City or highway driving.
•Road grades.
Note:It is normal for vehicle rangeestimates to vary due to changes in averageenergy usage. This is why you will typicallysee different range estimates each time youfill up your fuel tank or fully charge yourbattery.
Trip Efficiency Leaves
Trip Efficiency Leaves display uponshutting off your Hybrid vehicle. For Energivehicles the trip efficiency leaves aredisplayed only when the vehicle operatesin Hybrid for the entire trip. The number ofleaves represent the average for the lasttrip. A new trip begins each time you startyour vehicle (when the Ready to Drivemessage comes on). Corresponding TripSummary data displays on the leftinformation display.
Next Full Charge
The Next Full Charge display is shownupon shutting off your Energi vehiclewhenever your vehicle operates in Plug-inPower Mode for a portion of your trip.
Miles or kilometers per full charge
This is an estimate of the EV Range youwould see if you plugged in and fullycharged your vehicle right now. Theestimate is based on your energy usagewhile driving. Energy usage is affected byyour driving style and route, climate controluse, outside temperature and other factors.
Energy usage effects (+/-)
A green bar indicates a positive effect onyour EV range per full charge estimate. Anamber bar indicates a negative effect. Thebigger the bar the bigger the effect on yourestimate.
•Driving style/route – This includesenergy used to propel your vehiclebased on your driving style and route.Your driving style includes how fast youdrive and whether your accelerationand braking is mild or aggressive.
