This includes:
.
Distance traveled in
Electric Mode
. Distance traveled in Extended
Range Mode
. Total distance traveled
. Electric energy used from the
battery
. Total fuel used .
Average fuel economy
The electric equivalent to fuel
economy is MPGe. Touch MPG on
the screen to view. When dashes
are displayed, the maximum limits to
some values have been reached.
The circle graph displays
the percentage of distance traveled
using Electric Mode versus
Extended Range Mode. The
Lifetime fuel economy is a total over
the life of the vehicle and can only
be reset by the dealer. The Energy

132 Instruments and Controls
Impacts
The Impacts screen provides an
estimate of the factors that influence
energy usage since the last full
charge of the high voltage battery.
A positive number is desired to
reach the vehicle’s electric and fuel
economy rating.
.Technique includes speed,
acceleration, & braking. Lower
speeds increase the EV
technique miles, while higher
speeds reduce it.
. Terrain includes road conditions,
such as hills, rain and snow.
External factors like wind will
also positively or negatively impact Terrain. Low tire pressure
will worsen the Terrain
performance.
. Climate Settings includes how
the heating and air condition are
used. Using ECO or Fan Only
settings will help reduce your
climate setting losses. See
Climate Controls 017.
. Outside Temperature includes
the effect that hot or cold air has
on vehicle aerodynamics.
. Miles or Kilometers is the sum
of the individual values.
The individual vehicle range impacts
provide an understanding of how
electric and fuel economy are
different from day-to-day, even when
traveling the same route.
All values are reset after a complete
charge and may not be stable until
approximately 16 km (10 mi) have
been driven. DetailsThe Details screen displays how
energy is being used since the last
time the high voltage battery was
fully charged. It includes Driving and
Accessories, Climate Settings, and
Battery Conditioning. The circle
graph displays these percentages.
The total energy used displays at
the bottom of the screen.

V
while this display is active.
The Average Fuel Economy display
shows the approximate average
liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km)
or miles per gallon (mpg). This
number is calculated based on the
number of L/100 km (mpg) recorded
since the last time this menu item
was reset. This number reflects only
the approximate average fuel
economy that the vehicle has right
now, and will change as driving
conditions change. The Average
Fuel Economy can be reset along
with the trip odometer by pressing
and holding
Vwhile this display is
active.
Total Range : Shows the remaining
distance the vehicle can be driven
combining the electric range and
fuel range.
Oil Life : The Oil Life display shows
an estimate of the oil's remaining
useful life. If REMAINING OIL LIFE
99% is displayed, that means 99%
of the current oil life remains. When the remaining oil life is low,
the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message will appear on the display.
The oil should be changed as soon
as possible. See
Engine Oil0241.
In addition to the engine oil life
system monitoring the oil life,
additional maintenance is
recommended. See Maintenance
Schedule 0321.
Remember, the Oil Life display must
be reset after each oil change. It will
not reset itself. Also, be careful not
to reset the Oil Life display
accidentally at any time other than
when the oil has just been changed.
It cannot be reset accurately until
the next oil change. To reset the
engine oil life system, press and
hold
Vfor several seconds while
the Oil Life display is active. See
Engine Oil Life System 0243.
Engine Air Filter Life : Shows an
estimate of the engine air filter
remaining useful life and the state of
the system. Engine Air Filter Life
95% means 95% of the current air filter life remains. Messages will
display based on engine air filter life
and the state of the system. When
the REPLACE AT NEXT OIL
CHANGE message displays, the
engine air filter should be replaced
at the time of the next engine oil
change. When the REPLACE
ENGINE AIR FILTER NOW
message displays, the engine air
filter should be replaced as soon as
possible. The Engine Air Filter Life
display must be reset after the
engine air filter replacement. To

Parking over Things
That Burn
{Warning
Things that can burn could touch
hot exhaust parts under the
vehicle and ignite. Do not park
over papers, leaves, dry grass,
or other things that can burn.
Extended Parking
It is best not to park with the vehicle
running. If the vehicle is left running,
be sure it will not move and there is
adequate ventilation.
See Shifting Into Park 0171 and
Engine Exhaust 0180.
If the vehicle is left parked and
running with the RKE transmitter
outside the vehicle, it will continue
to run for up to half an hour.
If the vehicle is left parked and
running with the RKE transmitter
inside the vehicle, it will continue to
run for up to an hour.
The vehicle could turn off sooner if it
is parked on a hill, due to lack of
available fuel.
The timer will reset if the vehicle is
taken out of P (Park) while it is
running.
Electric Vehicle
Operating Modes
System Operation
This vehicle is an Extended Range
Electric Vehicle (EREV). It uses an
electric propulsion system to drive
the vehicle at all times. Electricity is
the vehicle's primary source of
energy, while gasoline is the
secondary source.
The vehicle has two modes of
operation: Electric and Extended
Range. In Electric Mode, the vehicle
is propelled by its electric drive unit
only. It converts electrical energy
into mechanical energy to drive the
wheels. In Extended Range Mode,
both the battery and the engine
power the vehicle. The vehicle's
performance remains nearly the
same in either mode. See Driving
for Better Energy Efficiency 027.

Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded.
If this product should malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This product is equipped with
a cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet
