by high voltage climate control
components such as the electric A/C
compressor. Other includes all power
being used by the low voltage
accessories (cabin fans, headlights and
heated seats).
• 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.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note:
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.
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. 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 cabin 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. Select the
AUTO function. 2. Adjust the temperature function to the
desired setting.
Recommended Settings for Heating
1. Select the
AUTO function.
2. Adjust the temperature function to the desired setting. Use 72°F (22°C) as a
starting point, then adjust the setting as
necessary.
