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 when you switch on your
vehicle 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 illuminated after the
engine is started, it 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 servicing
your vehicle. See Emission Control System
(page 184).
If the light is blinking, the engine is misfiring.
This could damage your catalytic converter.
Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy
acceleration and deceleration) and have your
vehicle serviced immediately.
Note: If your engine is misfiring, excessive
exhaust temperatures could damage the
catalytic converter or other vehicle
components.
The service engine soon indicator lights
when the you first switch on your vehicle,
prior to engine start, to check the bulb and
to indicate whether the vehicle is ready for
inspection maintenance testing. Normally, the service engine soon light will
stay on until the engine cranks, 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
maintenance testing. See Emission Control
System
(page 184).
Stability Control Flashes when the system is active.
If it stays lit or does not light when
you switch on the ignition, this
indicates a malfunction. During a malfunction
the system will switch off. Have an authorized
dealer check the system immediately.
See
Using Stability Control (page 204).
Stability Control Off Lights when you switch the system
off. It will go out when you switch
the system back on or when you

Engage
Engage provides separate gauges for engine
power and high voltage battery power in
kilowatts (kW). The engine power gauge fill
is white and the high voltage battery power
gauge fill is blue. You can also see an
instantaneous fuel economy gauge. When
your vehicle is operating on battery power
only, you will see EV displayed and the
gauges will appear in blue.
Note:
Hold OK to reset average fuel
economy.
Empower
Empower provides a power demand gauge
in kilowatts (kW) which includes an engine
on or off threshold.
• When your vehicle is operating with
battery power only (below the threshold),
you will see EV displayed and the gauge
fill is blue.
• When your vehicle is operating with both
the engine and the high voltage battery
providing power the gauge fill is white. •
When power demand surpasses the
amber indicator, this level of demand and
associated fuel economy displays in
amber.
• When the engine is on, reducing power
demand to less than the threshold will
allow the engine to turn off.
You can also see an instantaneous fuel
economy gauge.
Note: Hold OK to reset average fuel
economy.

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. 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.
