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.

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. 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.

HEATED SEATS
Front Seats
WARNING
People who are unable to feel pain to
their skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other
physical conditions, must exercise care when
using the heated seat. The heated seat may
cause burns even at low temperatures,
especially if used for long periods of time.
Do not place anything on the seat that
insulates against heat, such as a blanket or
cushion. This may cause the heated seat to
overheat. Do not puncture the seat with pins,
needles or other pointed objects. This may
damage the heating element which may
cause the heated seat to overheat. An
overheated seat may cause serious personal
injury. Do not do the following:
•
Place heavy objects on the seat.
• Operate the heated seat if water or any
other liquid spills on the seat. Allow the
seat to dry thoroughly.
• Operate the heated seats unless the
engine is running. Doing so can cause
the battery to lose charge. Press the heated seat symbol to cycle
through the various heat settings and off.
More indicator lights indicate warmer
settings.

•
Press and hold RES+ or SET-. Release
the control when you reach the desired
speed. The set speed changes in
approximately 5 mph/10 km/h increments.
• Press the RES+ or SET- button to change
the set speed in increments of
approximately 1 mph or 2 km/h.
• Hold the RES+ or SET- button to change
the set speed in increments of
approximately 5 mph or 10 km/h.
The system may apply the brakes to slow
the vehicle to the new set speed. The set
speed displays continuously in the
information display when the system is
active.
Canceling the Set Speed
Press and release
CNCL or tap the brake
pedal. The set speed does not erase.
Resuming the Set Speed
Press and release RES+. Your vehicle speed
returns to the previously set speed and gap
setting. The set speed displays continuously
in the information display when the system
is active. Note:
Only use resume if you are aware of
the set speed and intend to return to it.
Automatic Cancellation
Automatic cancellation occurs if:
• The tires lose traction.
• The engine speed is too low.
• You apply the parking brake.
Note: If the engine speed drops too low, the
information display indicates low engine
speed. Shift to a lower gear (manual
transmission only) to avoid automatic
cancellation.
Hilly Condition Usage
Note: An audible alarm will sound and the
system will shut down if it is applying brakes
for an extended period of time. This allows
the brakes to cool down. The system will
function normally again when the brakes
have cooled down. You should select a lower gear position
when the system is active in situations such
as prolonged downhill driving on steep
grades, for example in mountainous areas.
The system needs additional engine braking
in these situations to reduce the load on the
vehicle
’s regular brake system to prevent
them from overheating.
Switching Adaptive Cruise Control Off
Press and release
OFF when the system is
in stand by mode or switch the ignition off.
Note: You erase the set speed when you
switch the system off.
Detection Issues WARNING
On rare occasions, detection issues
can occur due to the road
infrastructures, for example bridges, tunnels
and safety barriers. In these cases, the
system may brake late or unexpectedly. At
all times, you are responsible for controlling
your vehicle, supervising the system and
intervening, if required. 227
