MANUAL LIFTGATE
WARNINGS
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a
vehicle. In a crash, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride
in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and safety belts. Be
sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a safety belt properly. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death. Make sure to close and latch the
liftgate to prevent drawing exhaust
fumes into your vehicle. This will also
prevent passengers and cargo from falling
out. If you must drive with the liftgate open,
keep the vents or windows open so outside
air comes into your vehicle. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury. Note:
Be careful when opening or closing
the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed
area to avoid damaging the liftgate.
Note: Do not hang anything, for example a
bike rack, from the glass or liftgate. This
could damage the liftgate and its
components.
Note: Do not leave the liftgate open while
driving. This could damage the liftgate and
its components. Opening the Liftgate

Trip Summary:
The Trip Summary displays upon shutting
off your vehicle. The information is
cumulative over the last trip. A new trip
begins each time you start your vehicle
(when the Ready to Drive message comes
on).
•
Distance - Displays the total distance
traveled, distance traveled on battery
power only (EV distance) and Regen
distance. Regen distance is the
estimated range gained from energy
recaptured through regenerative
braking.
• Energy Use - Displays the average fuel
economy. In addition for Energi,
displays the total electrical energy used
while in Plug-in Power Mode in kilowatt
hours (kWh).
• Brake Score - The percent displayed is
an indication of the regenerative
braking efficiency for the trip.
Note: Corresponding trip efficiency leaves
appear on the right information display upon
shutting off your Hybrid vehicle. On Energi
vehicles the trip efficiency leaves are shown
on the right information display when the
vehicle operates in Hybrid Mode for the

Vehicle Range
Vehicle range indicates the estimated
distance your vehicle will travel with the
energy currently onboard. The range is
displayed at the bottom of the screen with
gasoline range shown in white and electric
range (Energi only) shown in blue.
• Gasoline Range: Is the estimated
distance to empty based on the fuel
remaining in the tank.
• Electric Range: Is the estimated
distance you can travel in Plug-In
Power Mode with the engine off. This
range is based on a calculation
determined by the amount of energy
stored in the high voltage battery as a
result of charging while plugged in and
the energy being used while driving.
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.

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.
WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators will alert you to a vehicle
condition that may become serious. Some
lamps will light when you start your vehicle
to make sure they work. If any lamps
remain on after starting your vehicle, refer

Parking Lamps
Lights when you switch the
parking lamps on.
Powertrain Fault Lights when the system detects
a powertrain or high-voltage
charge system fault. If the
indicator stays on or continues to come on,
contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Note: If your vehicle detects certain faults,
it will not allow you to operate the
accelerator pedal. If this happens, press the
brake pedal and release it. This will activate
limp home vehicle operation. In limp home
vehicle operation, your vehicle will
accelerate in a controlled manner up to a
maximum speed of 35 mph (56 km/h) on
a flat surface. If you apply the brake pedal
or move the transmission to neutral (N) you
can override your vehicle ’s acceleration.
Ready to Drive Lights after your switch your
vehicle on and it is ready to drive.
A corresponding message may
display stating ready to drive.
Service Engine Soon If the service engine soon
indicator light stays on after you
switch on the engine, this
indicates that the On-Board Diagnostics
system (OBD) has detected a malfunction
of the vehicle emissions control system.
Refer to On-Board diagnostics (OBD) in
the Fuel and Refueling chapter for more
information about having your vehicle
serviced. See Emission Control System
(page 149). If the light is blinking, engine misfire is
occurring which could damage your
catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate
fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and
deceleration) and have your vehicle
serviced immediately. WARNING
Under engine misfire conditions,
excessive exhaust temperatures
could damage the catalytic
converter, the fuel system, interior floor
coverings or other vehicle components,
possibly causing a fire. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. The service engine soon indicator lights
when you first switch on the ignition prior
to engine start to check the bulb and to
indicate whether the vehicle is ready for
Inspection and Maintenance testing.
Normally, the service engine soon light will
stay on until you switch on the engine, then
turn itself off if no malfunctions are
present. However, if after 15 seconds the
service engine soon light blinks eight times,
it means that the vehicle is not ready for
Inspection and Maintenance testing. See
Emission Control System
(page 149).
Stability Control Lights when the system is active.
If it remains on or does not light
when you switch the ignition on,
this indicates a malfunction. During a
malfunction, the system will turn off. Have
the system checked by an authorized
dealer immediately.
See Using Stability
Control (page 167).
