The accuracy of this figure may vary if your driv-ing style changes. An economical driving style willgenerally increase this distance.

Distance to discharged battery
This gauge shows the approximate distance thatcan be driven on the charge remaining in thehybrid battery. When the gauge displays "----"there is no guaranteed driving charge remainingin the battery.
This calculation is based on the average electricalcurrent consumption in a normally loaded vehicleduring normal driving, and whether the A/C is onor off.
An economical driving style will generallyincrease this distance.

Distance using the electric motor
To get the optimal driving distance using theelectric motor, it is essential to conserve current.Functions that use a great deal of current (e.g.,audio system, electrical heating in the steeringwheel/door mirrors/rear window/seats, very coldair from the climate system, etc.) reduce the pos-sible driving distance.

NOTE
In addition to high electrical consumption inthe passenger compartment, fast accelera-tion, sudden braking, heavy loads, low ambienttemperatures and driving up hills can reducethe possible driving distance.
Tourist (alternative speedometer)
This is an alternative digital speedometer can beused when driving in areas in which the speedlimit is listed in a different unit of measure. If thespeedometer is in mph, this gauge will show thevehicle's speed in km/h and vice versa.

Rearview mirror
The interior rearview mirror has an auto-dimfunction that helps reduce glare from followingvehicle's headlights.
Auto-dim function
The auto-dim function is controlled by two sen-sors: one pointing forward (located on the for-ward-facing side of the mirror, which monitors theamount of ambient light) and one pointing rear-ward (located on the side of the mirror facing thedriver at the upper edge, which senses thestrength of following vehicles' headlights), andwork together to help eliminate glare.

NOTE
Obstructing the forward sensor with e.g.,parking stickers, transponders, etc., or the rearsensor by loading the cargo area or the rearseat in such a way that light is prevented fromreaching the sensor will reduce the auto-dimfunction in the interior rearview mirror andoptional auto-dim function in the door mirrors.
The auto-dim function is always active while thevehicle is being driven except when the reversegear has been selected. The level of sensitivityfor this function can be set to three levels, whichaffect the rearview mirror and door mirrors.

Power utilized by the driver
The indicator shows the amount of power utilized(requested) by the driver through pressure on theaccelerator pedal. The higher the reading on thescale, the greater the amount of power utilized inthe current gear. The mark between the "light-ning" and "drop" symbols is the point at whichthe electric motor switches off and the gasolineengine starts.

Examples
The vehicle has started but is stationary and nopower is being utilized.
The electric motor alone cannot provide thepower requested and the gasoline engine willstart.
The vehicle is generating current to recharge thebattery, e.g., during moderate braking or duringengine braking on a downslope.
The "Hold" and "Charge" functions
The "Hold" or "Charge" function is activated,
which is shown by the symbol near the bat-tery indicator. See also the article "Maintaining/increasing hybrid battery charge while driving" foradditional information.

CLIMATE
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.190

Preconditioning
Preconditioning the vehicle before driving canhelp reduce wear and reduce energy consump-tion during a trip.

NOTE
Full preconditioning is only possible when thevehicle's charging cable is connected.
In other cases, the passenger compartmentcan be cooled for 3 minutes in warm weather.This function is started from the Parkingclimate tab in the center display's Climateview.
With the charging cable connected, precondition-ing can be started immediately or a timer functioncan start this procedure at a later time.
This feature utilizes several of the vehicle's sys-tems:
•The High Voltage Coolant Heater (HVCH)warms the hybrid battery and passengercompartment in cold weather.
•In warm weather, the ventilation system willattempt to cool the passenger compartmentto the current ambient temperature.
•In warm weather, the air conditioning systemwill cool the passenger compartment to acomfortable temperature.
•The electrically heated steering wheel andseats can be activated.
•Heating for the windshield, tailgate windowand door mirrors can be activated.
If preconditioning is used in warm weather, a cer-tain amount of water may condense under thevehicle, which is normal.
When preconditioning is used, this system willattempt to establish a comfortable temperature inthe passenger compartment but not necessarilythe temperature currently set in the climatesystem.

Maintaining a comfortable passenger
compartment climate
The climate in the passenger compartment canbe maintained even when the vehicle is parkedand the engine is turned off (e.g., if anyoneintends to remain in the vehicle).
This function can only be direct-started.
This function utilizes several of the vehicle's sys-tems:
•Residual heat from the engine is used helpkeep the passenger compartment warm incool temperatures.
•In warm weather, the ventilation system willattempt to cool the passenger compartmentto the current ambient temperature.
This function will not be activated if the vehicle islocked from the outside in order to avoid using
residual engine heat unnecessarily. This functionis primarily intended for use when the engine isnot running but someone remains in the vehicle.
