operate for a certain number of miles
or degrees of turn before needing a
signal from the GPS satellites. When
the compass display shows CAL, drive
the vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive a GPS
signal. The compass system will
automatically determine when a GPS
signal is restored and provide a
heading again.

On the base cluster, if the vehicle has
the Stop/Start system, when the
ignition is on, the tachometer
indicates the vehicle status. When
pointing to AUTO STOP, the engine is off but the vehicle is on and can
move. The engine could auto start at
any time. When the indicator points
to OFF, the vehicle is off.
When the engine is on, the
tachometer will indicate the engine’s
revolutions per minute (rpm). The
tachometer may vary by several
hundred rpm’s, during Auto Stop
mode, when the engine is shutting off
and restarting.
A slight bump may be felt when the
transmission is determining the most
fuel efficient operating range.
Caution
If the engine is operated with the
rpm’s in the warning area at the
high end of the tachometer, the
vehicle could be damaged, and the
damage would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Do not operate
the engine with the rpm’s in the
warning area.

Programmable Charging
(PLUG-IN Only)
Important Information About
Portable Electric Vehicle Charging
. Charging an electric vehicle can
stress a building’s electrical
system more than a typical
household appliance.
. Before you plug in to any electrical
outlet, have a qualified electrician
inspect and verify the electrical
system (electrical outlet, wiring,
junctions, and protection devices)
for heavy-duty service at a 12 amp
continuous load.
. Electrical outlets may wear out
with normal usage or be damaged
over time, making them unsuitable
for electric vehicle charging.
. Check the electrical outlet/plug
while charging and discontinue
use if the electrical outlet/plug is
hot, then have the electrical outlet
serviced by a qualified electrician.
. When outdoors, plug into an
electrical outlet that is
weatherproof while in use.
