To avoid exhaust fumes, do not use
remote start if your vehicle is parked
indoors or areas that are not well
ventilated. Note:
Do not use remote start if your vehicle
is low on fuel. The remote start button is on the
transmitter.
This feature allows you to start your
vehicle from outside the vehicle. The
transmitter has an extended operating
range.
Vehicles with automatic climate control
can be configured to operate when the
vehicle is remote started. See Automatic
Climate Control
(page 108).

The amount of energy being used while
driving is affected by:
•
Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking.
• Your vehicle speed.
• Your use of accessories such as climate
control.
• The ambient temperature and other
weather conditions.
• City or highway driving.
• Road grades.
Note: It is normal for vehicle range
estimates to vary due to changes in average
energy usage. This is why you will typically
see different range estimates each time you
fill up your fuel tank or fully charge your
battery.
Trip Efficiency Leaves
Trip Efficiency Leaves display upon
shutting off your Hybrid vehicle. For Energi
vehicles the trip efficiency leaves are
displayed only when the vehicle operates
in Hybrid for the entire trip. The number of
leaves represent the average for the last
trip. A new trip begins each time you start
your vehicle (when the Ready to Drive
message comes on). Corresponding Trip
Summary data displays on the left
information display.
Next Full Charge
The Next Full Charge display is shown
upon shutting off your Energi vehicle
whenever your vehicle operates in Plug-in
Power Mode for a portion of your trip. Miles or kilometers per full charge
This is an estimate of the EV Range you
would see if you plugged in and fully
charged your vehicle right now. The
estimate 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.
Energy usage effects (+/-)
A green bar indicates a positive effect on
your EV range per full charge estimate. An
amber bar indicates a negative effect. The
bigger the bar the bigger the effect on your
estimate.
•
Driving style/route – This includes
energy used to propel your vehicle
based on your driving style and route.
Your driving style includes how fast you
drive and whether your acceleration
and braking is mild or aggressive. Your
route includes factors such as the
amount of city or highway driving and
road grades.
• Climate control use – This includes
energy used by your vehicle ’s high
voltage climate control components
such as the electric A/C compressor
and the electric heater.
• Outside temp./other – This includes
energy losses due to outside
temperature and other conditions
which reduce vehicle system efficiency.
Energy used for low voltage
accessories such as cabin fans, heated
seats, headlights, etc. is also included.

MyView
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
content.
• You must select content in both
columns before you can save your new

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
