After all occupants have adjusted their
seats and put on seatbelts, it is very
important that they continue to sit
properly. A properly seated occupant sits
upright, leaning against the seatback, and
centered on the seat cushion, with their
feet comfortably extended on the floor.
Sitting improperly can increase the chance
of injury in a crash event. For example, if
an occupant slouches, lies down, turns
sideways, sits forward, leans forward or
sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the
chance of injury during a crash is greatly
increased.
Children and Airbags
WARNING
Airbags can kill or injure a child in a
child restraint. Never place a
rear-facing child restraint in front of
an active airbag. If you must use a
forward-facing child restraint in the front
seat, move the seat upon which the child
restraint is installed all the way back. Children must always be properly
restrained. Accident statistics suggest that
children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seating positions than in the
front seating position. Failure to follow
these instructions may increase the risk of
injury in a crash. FRONT PASSENGER SENSING
SYSTEM WARNINGS
Even with advanced restraints
systems, properly restrain children
12 and under in a rear seating
position. Failure to follow this could
seriously increase the risk of injury or death. Sitting improperly, out of position or
with the seatback reclined too far
can take weight off the seat cushion
and affect the decision of the passenger
sensing system, resulting in serious injury
or death in the event of a crash. Always sit
upright against your seat back, with your
feet on the floor. Do not stow objects in the seatback
map pocket or hang objects off a
seatback if a child is in the front
passenger seat. Do not place objects under
the front passenger seat or between the
seat and the center console. Check the
passenger airbag indicator lamp for proper
airbag status. Failure to follow these
instructions may interfere with the front
passenger seat sensing system and
increase the risk of serious injury. Any alteration or modification to the
front passenger seat may affect the
performance of the front passenger
sensing system. This could seriously
increase the risk of injury or death. This system works with sensors that are
part of the front passenger seat and
seatbelt to detect the presence of a
properly-seated occupant and determine
if the front passenger frontal airbag should
be enabled (may inflate) or not.

12 Volt DC Power Point
WARNING
Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket. Incorrect use of the cigar
lighter can cause damage not covered by
the vehicle warranty, and can result in fire
or serious injury. Note:
When you switch the ignition on, you
can use the socket to power 12 volt
appliances with a maximum current rating
of 15 amps.
If the power supply does not work after you
switch the ignition off, switch the ignition
on.
Note: Do not hang any accessory from the
accessory plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.
Note: Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.
Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
damages the power point and may blow
the fuse.
Run the vehicle for full capacity use of the
power point.
To prevent the battery from running out of
charge:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the vehicle is not
running.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when you park your vehicle
for extended periods. Locations
Power points may be in the following
locations:
•
On the instrument panel.
• Inside the center console.
• On the rear of the center console.
110 Volt AC Power Point (If Equipped) WARNING
Do not keep electrical devices
plugged in the power point whenever
the device is not in use. Do not use
any extension cord with the 110 volt AC
power point, since it will defeat the safety
protection design. Doing so may cause the
power point to overload due to powering
multiple devices that can reach beyond
the 150 watt load limit and could result in
fire or serious injury. Note:
The power point turns off when you
switch the ignition off, or when the battery
voltage drops below 11 volts.
You can use the power point for electric
devices that require up to 150 watts. It is
on the rear of the center console. Note:
Depending on your vehicle, the power
point may open to the right or upward.

PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLE
OPERATION
Plug-in Power Mode and Hybrid
Mode
You must plug in your Energi vehicle
regularly for optimal use of the high
voltage battery's extended range
capability. Charging your vehicle adds
electrical energy. This energy is used to
propel the vehicle in plug-in power mode.
Estimated electric range is shown in blue
next to gasoline range at the bottom of the
right information display. You can also
configure MyView to include detailed
vehicle range information. See Gauges
(page 89).
The system maximizes the use of
electric-only operation in plug-in power
mode. System conditions may require
engine operation; however, the system
uses plug-in power whenever possible.
When your plug-in power is depleted, the
powertrain system will automatically
switch to hybrid mode. Hybrid mode uses
both the gasoline engine and electric
motor to power your vehicle and maximize
fuel economy.
EV Modes Your vehicle contains selectable
EV modes through the EV button
on the center console. These modes are available when your
vehicle can run under high voltage battery
power. With your vehicle in driving mode,
you can change EV modes with each press
of the EV button. The current mode will be
displayed in the left-hand instrument
cluster screen.
Auto EV This mode provides an
automatic use of high voltage
battery power during the drive,
staying in electric mode when possible and
running the engine when needed. This
mode will be the only one available if the
plug-in power has been depleted.
EV Now This mode provides an electric
only driving experience. The
left-hand information display
changes to a screen displaying your
average miles or kilometers per charge
along with EV specific tools and functions.
Your vehicle may accelerate more slowly
and the top speed may be lower in EV Now
mode than in Auto EV mode.
You can enable your engine at any time by
using one of the following methods:
1. Press the OK button on the left 5– way
steering wheel control while viewing
the miles or kilometers per charge
screen. Your vehicle will enable the
engine as needed, and will
automatically return to EV Now after
eight seconds or when the engine is no
longer needed.
2. Press the accelerator pedal fully. A pop
up message will appear. Press OK on
the left-hand steering wheel button to
activate as needed. The message will
disappear if you release the accelerator
pedal.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNINGS
Always fully apply the parking brake
and make sure you shift into park (P).
Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death. Do not apply the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal simultaneously.
Applying both pedals simultaneously
for more than a few seconds will limit
engine performance, which may result in
difficulty maintaining speed in traffic and
could lead to serious injury. When your vehicle is stationary, keep
the brake pedal fully pressed when
shifting gears. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury,
death or property damage. Note:
The ready to drive indicator may be
off and you may not be able to shift out of
park (P) unless the intelligent access key is
inside your vehicle.
Understanding the Positions of
Your Rotary Shift Transmission Your vehicle has an electronic transmission
shifter. The transmission selector is on the
center console, below the climate control
system.
To place your vehicle in gear from park (P): 1.
Fully press down and hold on the brake
pedal through shifts out of park (P).
2. Rotate the outer ring of the transmission selector clockwise from
park (P), until the desired gear
illuminates on the transmission
selector. The instrument cluster also
displays the current gear selected.
3. Release the brake pedal and the transmission remains in the selected
gear.
Park (P)
With the transmission selector in park (P),
your vehicle locks the transmission and
prevents the wheels from turning. Always
come to a complete stop before putting
your vehicle into and out of park (P). An
audible chime sounds once you select park
(P).
When the ignition is turned off, your vehicle
automatically shifts into park (P). If the
ignition is turned off when the vehicle is
moving, it first shifts into neutral (N) until
a slow enough speed is reached. Your
vehicle then shifts into park (P)
automatically.
Automatic Return to Park
Note: This feature does not operate when
your vehicle is in Stay in Neutral mode or
neutral tow.
Your vehicle has a feature that
automatically shifts your vehicle into park
(P) when any of the following conditions
occur:
• You turn the vehicle off.
• You open the driver's door with your
seatbelt unlatched.
• Your seatbelt is unlatched when the
driver's door is open.

Grade assist:
•
Provides additional grade braking with
a combination of engine motoring and
high-voltage battery charging to help
maintain vehicle speed when
descending a grade.
• As your vehicle determines the amount
of engine motoring and high-voltage
battery charging, you may notice the
engine speed increasing and
decreasing to help maintain your
vehicle speed when descending a
grade.
• The grade assist lamp in the instrument
cluster is illuminated.
Low (L)
• Provides maximum engine braking.
• The transmission may be shifted into
low (L) at any vehicle speed.
• Is not intended for use under extended
or normal driving conditions and results
in lower fuel economy.
Brake-Shift Interlock Override WARNINGS
When doing this procedure, you need
to take the transmission out of park
(P) which means your vehicle can
roll freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle
movement, always fully apply the parking
brake prior to doing this procedure. Use
wheels chocks if appropriate. If the parking brake is fully released,
but the brake warning lamp remains
illuminated, the brakes may not be
working properly. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. Note:
Do not drive your vehicle until you
verify that the brake lamps are working.
Note: See your authorized dealer as soon
as possible if this procedure is used. Note:
For some markets this feature is
disabled.
Note: This feature only functions if your
12-volt battery has power. If vehicle battery
voltage is not sufficient, an external 12-volt
power source (for example, jumper cables,
battery charger or jump pack) may be
required to function the interlock override
switch.
Use the brake-shift interlock override to
move your transmission from the park
position in the event of an electrical
malfunction. If your vehicle has a dead
battery, an external power source is
required.
1. Apply the parking brake and turn your ignition off before performing this
procedure. 2. Locate your brake-shift interlock
access slot. The slot is located in your
center console storage bin. The access
slot does not have a label.
Note: Make sure that you correctly identify
the access hole as not to damage the media
hub.
3. Using a tool, press and hold the brake shift interlock switch. The transmission
selector indicator flashes for three
seconds when your vehicle is in
override mode.

•
You take corners too fast.
• The road surface is poor.
Note: If the system activates, the brake
pedal may pulse and may travel further.
Maintain pressure on the brake pedal. You
may also hear a noise from the system. This
is normal.
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
The electric parking brake replaces the
conventional handbrake. The operating
switch is in the center console. WARNINGS
Always set the parking brake and
leave your vehicle with the
transmission in park (P).
If your vehicle has a manual
transmission, shift into first or reverse
gear. If your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, shift into park (P). Note:
When you apply the electric parking
brake in certain conditions, for example on
a steep hill, the electric parking brake may
reapply the brakes within three to ten
minutes.
Note: You may notice various noises when
you apply and release the electric parking
brake. This is normal and no cause for
concern.
Parking On a Hill (Vehicles With a
Manual Transmission)
If you park your vehicle facing uphill, move
the transmission to first gear (1) and turn
the steering wheel away from the curb. If
you park your vehicle facing downhill, move
the transmission to reverse (R) and turn
the steering wheel toward the curb. Applying the Electric Parking
brake WARNINGS
The brake system warning lamp will
flash when applying the electric
parking brake. If the brake system
warning lamp continues to flash there
could be a problem with your electric
parking brake. Have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible. Applying the electric parking brake
while moving will result in the
engagement of the anti-lock braking
system. Do not use the electric parking
brake system when the vehicle is moving
unless the normal brake system is unable
to stop the vehicle. With the exception of emergency
conditions (for example, the brake
pedal is broken or is blocked), do not
apply the electric parking brake while the
vehicle is moving. On bends, or poor road
surfaces or weather conditions, emergency
braking can cause the vehicle to skid out
of control or off the road. Note:
The brake system warning lamp
illuminates for ten seconds if you switch the
ignition off after you apply the electric
parking brake, or you apply the electric
parking brake after you switch the ignition
off.
Note: The electric parking brake will not
automatically apply. You must apply the
electric parking brake using the electric
parking brake switch.
