Odometer
Located in the bottom of the display. Itregisters the accumulated distance yourvehicle has traveled.
Battery Gauge:
An optional small battery gauge is providedfor Hybrid vehicles. This can be enabled inthe Settings menu under Battery Display.See General Information (page 112). The filllevel, or State of Charge, indicates theamount of energy stored in the high voltagebattery as a percent of total energy capacity.The level increases or decreases as thebattery charges and discharges duringnormal operation.
Regen Display
A circular arrow symbol displays whenenergy is being recaptured through theregenerative braking system. Regen Displaycan be disabled in the Settings menu. SeeGeneral Information (page 112).
Fuel Gauge
Note:The fuel gauge may vary slightly whenyour vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge willindicate approximately how much fuel is leftin the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to thefuel pump symbol indicates on which side ofyour vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
The needle should move toward F when yourefuel your vehicle. If the needle points to Eafter adding fuel, this indicates your vehicleneeds service soon.
After refueling some variability in needleposition is normal:
•It may take a short time for the needle toreach full after leaving the gas station.This is normal and depends upon theslope of pavement at the gas station.
•The fuel amount dispensed into the tankis a little less or more than the gaugeindicated. This is normal and dependsupon the slope of pavement at the gasstation.
•If the gas station nozzle shuts off beforethe tank is full, try a different gas pumpnozzle.
•There is a small reserve left in the tankwhen the fuel gauge reaches empty.

HYBRID VEHICLE OPERATION
This hybrid vehicle combines electric andgasoline propulsion to provide breakthroughperformance and improved efficiency.
Familiarizing yourself with these uniquecharacteristics will provide an optimal drivingexperience from your new vehicle.
Note:You may notice higher engine speedsupon start-up. This temporary condition isnormal and necessary to heat up the cabinand minimize emissions.
Starting:
When you start your vehicle, agreen ready indicator light willappear in the lower right portionof the instrument cluster and a ready to drivemessage will appear in the middle of the leftcluster screen, letting you know that yourvehicle is ready for driving.
The engine may not start because thisvehicle is equipped with silent key start. Thisfuel saving feature allows your vehicle to beready–to–drive without requiring the gasengine to be running. This indicator willremain on while your vehicle is on, whetherthe engine is running or not to indicate yourvehicle is capable of movement (using itselectric motor, engine, or both). Typically, theengine will not start unless the vehicle iscold, a climate control change is requested,or the accelerator is pressed.
Driving:
The gas engine automatically starts andstops to provide power when needed andto save fuel when not needed. Whilecoasting at low speeds, coming to a stop, orstanding, the gas engine normally shutsdown and your vehicle operates inelectric-only mode.
Conditions that may cause the engine to startup or remain running include:
•Considerable vehicle acceleration.
•Vehicle speed above 85 mph (137 km/h).However, the maximum speed forelectric-only operation may be lowerwhile driving in hot temperatures or onhilly terrain.
•Ascending a hill.
•Charge level of high voltage battery islow.
•Very high or low outside temperature (toprovide system cooling or heating).
•Engine not warm enough to providepassenger requested cabin temperature.
Stopping:
The gas engine may shut off to conserve fuelas you come to a stop. Restarting yourvehicle is not required. Simply step on theaccelerator when you are ready to drive.

During certain events (such as vehicleservicing) your low voltage 12-volt batterymay become disconnected or disabled. Oncethe battery is reconnected and after drivingthe vehicle, the engine may continue tooperate for three to five seconds after thekey is turned to off. This is a normalcondition.
Braking:
Your hybrid is equipped with standardhydraulic braking and regenerative braking.Regenerative braking is performed by yourtransmission and it captures brake energyand stores it in your high voltage battery.
Driving to Optimize Fuel Economy
Note:Having your engine running is notalways an indication of inefficiency. In somecases, it is actually more efficient thandriving in electric mode.
Your fuel economy should improvethroughout your hybrid's break-in period. Aswith any vehicle, your driving habits andaccessory usage can significantly impactyour fuel economy. For best results, keep inmind these tips:
•Keep the tires properly inflated and onlyuse the recommended size.
•Aggressive driving increases the amountof energy required to move your vehicle.In general, you can achieve better fueleconomy with mild to moderateacceleration and deceleration. Moderatebraking is particularly important since itallows you to maximize the energycaptured by the regenerative brakingsystem.
Additional Tips:
•Do not carry extra loads.
•Be mindful of adding externalaccessories that may increaseaerodynamic drag.
•Observe posted speed limits.
•Perform all scheduled maintenance.
•There is no need to wait for your engineto warm up. The vehicle is ready to driveimmediately after starting.
ECOSELECT
EcoSelect is a drive mode for non plug-invehicles designed to offer the best possiblefuel economy with tradeoffs in vehicleperformance and comfort.
To switch EcoSelect on, press theECO button.
A graphic displays on your informationdisplay when EcoSelect is on.
Your vehicle will remember the last selectedmode whenever you start your vehicle.
EcoSelect allows your vehicle to operatemore efficiently. You will notice:
•Less aggressive cooling.
•Softer acceleration.
•Increased deceleration when coasting.

Note:When the fuel level is less thanone-quarter full, refueling your vehicle willend fuel freshness mode.
Note:We recommend you use a fuelstabilizer if you use less than a full tank offuel during an 18-month period.
FUEL FILLER FUNNEL LOCATION
The fuel filler funnel is under the luggagecompartment floor covering.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel because thissituation may have an adverse effect onvehicle components.
If you have run out of fuel:
•To start the vehicle with a keylessignition, just start the engine. Crank timewill be longer than usual.
•Normally, adding 1 gal (3.8 L) of fuel isenough to restart the vehicle. If thevehicle is out of fuel and on a steepgrade, more than 1 gal (3.8 L) may berequired.
•The service engine soon indicator maycome on.
Refilling With a Portable Fuel Container
WARNINGS
Flow of fuel through a fuel pump nozzlecan produce static electricity. This cancause a fire if you are filling an ungroundedfuel container.
Do not insert the nozzle of a fuelcontainer or an aftermarket funnel intothe fuel filler neck. This may damage the fuelsystem filler neck or its seal and cause fuelto run onto the ground.
WARNINGS
Do not try to pry open or push openthe capless fuel system with foreignobjects. This could damage the fuel systemand its seal and cause injury to you or others.
Note:Do not use aftermarket funnels; theywill not work with the capless fuel systemand can damage it. The included speciallydesigned funnel works safely with yourvehicle.
When filling the vehicle’s fuel tank from aportable fuel container, use the funnelincluded with the vehicle.

The funnel is located in the rear of thevehicle, inside the load compartment,underneath the load floor carpet and isaccessible from the trunk.
1. Locate the portable funnel that comeswith your vehicle.
2. Slowly insert the funnel into the caplessfuel system.
3.Fill the vehicle with fuel from the portablefuel container.
4.When done, clean the funnel or properlydispose of it. You can purchase extrafunnels from your authorized dealer ifyou choose to dispose of the funnel.
REFUELING
WARNINGS
When refueling always shut the engineoff and never allow sparks or openflames near the fuel tank filler valve. Neversmoke or use a cell phone while refueling.Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous undercertain conditions. Avoid inhaling excessfumes.
The fuel system may be underpressure. If you hear a hissing soundnear the fuel filler inlet, do not refuel until thesound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out,which could cause serious personal injury.
Do not remove the fuel pump nozzlefrom its fully inserted position whenrefueling.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Thepressure in an overfilled tank maycause leakage and lead to fuel spray andfire.
