You can choose what to display in this
view. Selecting Change MyView in the
options menu allows you to scroll through
two columns of content choices.
• Press the up or down arrow to view
content.
• Press
OK to save your selected

• You must select content in both
columns before you can save your new
MyView.
Unique content available in MyView:
• Vehicle Range (Energi vehicles only) –
Indicates the estimated distance your
vehicle will travel with the energy
currently onboard. Separately displays
range available in Hybrid Mode fueled
by gasoline, electric range available in
Plug-in Power Mode, and total range.
Gasoline range and electric range are
also shown on the bottom of the right
information display. Changes in driving
pattern and climate control use will
cause the values to vary.
• Accessory Power — Indicates electrical
power demands from your vehicle ’s
accessory systems. Accessories use
power but do not contribute to
propelling your vehicle. The gauge
separately displays power demand in
kilowatts (kW) for climate and other
accessories. Climate includes the
power being used by high voltage
climate control components such as
the electric A/C compressor and the
electric heater (Energi vehicles only).
Other includes all power being used by
the low voltage accessories (cabin
fans, headlights, heated seats, etc.). •
Coolant Temp – Indicates engine
coolant temperature. At normal
operating temperature, the level
indicator will be white and will be in the
normal range (between H and C). If the
engine coolant temperature exceeds
the normal range, the level indicator
will change to red to indicate that the
engine is overheating. Stop your vehicle
as soon as safely possible, turn your
vehicle off and let the engine cool.
• Tach rpm x 1000 — When the gasoline
engine is running, the tachometer
gauge displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM). When
your vehicle is operating on battery
power only with the engine off, EV
displays and the tachometer is greyed
out.
Note: The trip data, and average fuel
economy cannot be reset in MyView.
Miles (or km)/Full Charge (Energi only)
In Hybrid Mode the display changes to Fuel
Economy. Miles or Kilometers per Full
Charge is an estimate of your EV Range
with a fully charged battery.
This display is only available in Plug-in
Power Mode.
Average Miles or Kilometers per Full
Charge is provided along with an
Instantaneous gauge. This information is
based on your energy usage while driving.
Energy usage is affected by your driving
style and route, climate control use,
outside temperature and other factors. For
more information refer to Next Full Charge.
See
Gauges (page 85).
When you select EV Now operation this
screen will automatically be shown. You
can press OK to enable the engine when
viewing this screen during EV Now
operation. See
Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle
Operation (page 137).

with the engine off is shown in blue next
to total trip distance.
For Energi vehicles total plug-in electricity
used in kilowatt hours (kWh) is shown in
blue next to trip average fuel economy.

Note:
To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
Note: To improve the time to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows open until you feel
cold air through the air vents.
In mild weather, you can improve your fuel
economy when using the climate control
system by using outside air instead of air
conditioning:
• Turn the temperature control knob(s)
so the interior temperature is set to
59°F (15°C).
• Set the air distribution to panel or floor
(or both).
• Press
A/C to turn the air conditioning
off.
• Press the recirculated air button so
fresh air enters the vehicle.
• Press the fan button until the fan is at
its lowest setting.
Automatic Climate Control
Note: Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is
not necessary. The system automatically
adjusts to heat or cool the interior to your
selected temperature as quickly as possible.
For the system to function efficiently, the
instrument panel and side air vents should
be fully open.
Note: If you select
AUTO during cold
outside temperatures, the system directs
airflow to the windshield and side window
vents. In addition, the fan may run at a
slower speed until the engine warms up. Note:
If you select AUTO during hot outside
temperatures, or when the inside of the
vehicle is hot, the system automatically uses
recirculated air to maximize interior cooling.
When the interior reaches the selected
temperature, the system automatically
switches to using outside air.
Heating the Interior Quickly
1. Press the
AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature control to the desired setting.
Recommended Settings for
Heating
1. Press the
AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature control to the desired setting. Use
