High Voltage Safety
Information
{Warning
Exposure to high voltage can cause
shock, burns, and even death. The
high voltage components in the
vehicle can only be serviced by
technicians with special training.
High voltage components are
identified by labels. Do not remove,
open, take apart, or modify these
components. High voltage cable or
wiring has orange covering or
labels. Do not probe, tamper with,
cut, or modify high voltage cable or
wiring.
This vehicle has a high voltage battery
and a standard 12-volt battery.
If the vehicle is in a crash, the sensing
system may shut down the high
voltage system. When this occurs, the
high voltage battery is disconnected and the vehicle will not start. The
SERVICE VEHICLE SOON message in
the Driver Information Center (DIC)
will be displayed. Before the vehicle
can be operated again, it must be
serviced at your dealer.{Warning
Damage to the high voltage battery
or high voltage system can create a
risk of electric shock, overheating,
or fire.
If the vehicle is damaged from a
moderate to severe crash, flood,
fire, or other event, the vehicle
should be inspected as soon as
possible. Until the vehicle has been
inspected, store it outside at least
15 m (50 ft) from any structure or
anything that can burn. Ventilate
the vehicle by opening a window or
a door.
Contact your dealer as soon as
possible to determine whether an
inspection is needed.

IN BRIEF 33
Climate Setting
Using the heat and air conditioning
systems decreases the energy available
for electric driving.
Optimal energy efficiency is achieved
with the heat, air conditioning, and
fan turned off.
Less energy is used at low fan speeds.
Use the heated seat feature and the
heated steering wheel instead of
climate settings. Heating the seat and
steering wheel uses less energy than
heating the vehicle interior.
Use remote start to heat or cool the
interior when the vehicle is plugged in
to maximize the electric range by
utilizing electricity from the electrical
outlet.
In hot weather, avoid parking in direct
sunlight or use sunshades inside the
vehicle.
Turn off the front and rear window
defog/defrost when they are no longer
needed.
Avoid driving with the windows open
at highway speeds.
Vehicle Charging/Maintenance
Charging
Keep the vehicle plugged in, even
when fully charged, to keep the
battery temperature ready for the next
drive. This is important when outside
temperatures are extremely hot
or cold.
Maintenance
Always keep the tires properly inflated
and the vehicle properly aligned.
The weight of excess cargo in the
vehicle affects efficiency and range.
Avoid carrying more than is needed.
If fuel is not regularly used, consider
keeping the fuel tank only one-third
full. Excess fuel weight impacts
efficiency and range.
For fuel recommendations, seeFuel
0 286.
Avoid unnecessary use of electrical
accessories. Power used for functions
other than propelling the vehicle will
reduce EV range. Using a rooftop carrier will reduce
efficiency due to additional weight
and drag.

object, and the object gets wedged
between the phone and charger,
remove the phone and allow the
object to cool before removing it
from the charging pad, to prevent
burns.
To charge a mobile device:1. Remove all objects from the charging pad. The system may
not charge if there are any
objects between the mobile
device and charging pad.
2. Place the mobile device face up on the

Engine Coolant
Temperature Warning Light
On some vehicles this light comes on
briefly while starting the vehicle. If it
does not, have the vehicle serviced by
the dealer. If the system is working
normally the indicator light goes off.
For vehicles with the reconfigurable
cluster, this light may not come on
when starting the vehicle.
Caution
The engine coolant temperature
warning light indicates that the
vehicle has overheated. Driving with
this light on can damage the engine
and it may not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. SeeEngine
Overheating 0321. The engine coolant temperature
warning light comes on when the
engine has overheated.
If this happens pull over and turn off
the engine as soon as possible. See
Engine Overheating
0321.
Tire Pressure Light
For vehicles with the Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS), this light
comes on briefly when the engine is
started. It provides information about
tire pressures and the TPMS.
When the Light Is On Steady
This indicates that one or more of the
tires are significantly underinflated.
A Driver Information Center (DIC) tire
pressure message may also display.
Stop as soon as possible, and inflate the tires to the pressure value shown
on the Tire and Loading Information
label. See
Tire Pressure 0347.
When the Light Flashes First and
Then Is On Steady
If the light flashes for about a minute
and then stays on, there may be a
problem with the TPMS. If the
problem is not corrected, the light will
come on at every ignition cycle. See
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation 0350.
Engine Oil Pressure Light
Caution
Lack of proper engine oil
maintenance can damage the
engine. Driving with the engine oil
low can also damage the engine.
The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Check the
oil level as soon as possible. Add oil
if required, but if the oil level is
within the operating range and the
oil pressure is still low, have the
