Common Displays
Both Average fuel economy and aninstantaneous fuel economy gauge areincluded in Engage, Empower and MyView(if selected) on the left information display.They are also included in Fuel History on theright information display.
Average Fuel Economy
Average Fuel Economy is continuouslyaveraged since the last reset. You can resetyour average fuel economy by pressing andholding the OK button on the correspondingsteering wheel controls.
Note:Average fuel economy cannot be resetin MyView.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy
If your instantaneous fuel economy is greaterthan the maximum value displayed, a + signwill be shown next to the maximum scalenumber. When your vehicle is operating onbattery power only, EV will display and thegauge fill will show in blue.

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.
