•Place heavy objects on the seat.
•Operate the seat heater if water or anyother liquid is spilled on the seat. Allowthe seat to dry thoroughly.
•Operate the heated seats unless theengine is running. Doing so can causethe battery to lose charge.
The rear seat heat controls are located onthe rear of the center console.
Press the heated seat symbol to cyclethrough the various heat settings and off.More indicator lights indicate warmersettings.
The heated seat module resets at everyignition run cycle. While the ignition is on,press the high or low heated seat switch toenable heating mode. When activated, theywill turn off automatically when you turn theengine off.

HomeLink Wireless Control System
WARNING: Do not use the system withany garage door opener that does not havethe safety stop and reverse feature asrequired by U.S. Federal Safety Standards(this includes any garage door openermanufactured before April 1, 1982). A garagedoor opener which cannot detect an object,signaling the door to stop and reverse, doesnot meet current federal safety standards.Using a garage door opener without thesefeatures increases the risk of serious injuryor death.
Note:Make sure that the garage door andsecurity device are free from obstructionwhen you are programming. Do not programthe system with the vehicle in the garage.
Note:Make sure you keep the originalremote control transmitter for use in othervehicles as well as for future systemprogramming.
Note:We recommend that upon the sale orlease termination of your vehicle, you erasethe programmed function buttons for securityreasons. See Erasing the Function ButtonCodes.
Note:You can program a maximum of threedevices. To change or replace any of thethree devices after it has been initiallyprogrammed, you must first erase the currentsettings. See Erasing the Function ButtonCodes.
The universal garage door opener replacesthe common hand-held garage door openerwith a three-button transmitter that isintegrated into the driver’s sun visor.
The system includes two primary features, agarage door opener and a platform forremote activation of devices within the home.As well as being programmed for garagedoors, the system transmitter can beprogrammed to operate entry gate operators,security systems, entry door locks and homeor office lighting.
Additional system information can be foundonline at www.homelink.com,www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex or bycalling the toll-free help line on1-800-355-3515.
In-Vehicle Programming
This process is to program your hand-heldtransmitter and your in-vehicle HomeLinkbutton.
Note:The programming steps below assumeyou will be programming HomeLink that wasnot previously programmed.
Note:Put a new battery in the hand-heldtransmitter. This will ensure quicker trainingand accurate transmission of theradio-frequency signal.

12 Volt DC Power Point
WARNING: Do not plug optionalelectrical accessories into the cigar lightersocket. Incorrect use of the cigar lighter cancause damage not covered by the vehiclewarranty, and can result in fire or seriousinjury.
Note:When you switch the ignition on, youcan use the socket to power 12 voltappliances with a maximum current ratingof 15 amps.
If the power supply does not work after youswitch the ignition off, switch the ignition on.Note:Do not hang any accessory from theaccessory plug.
Note:Do not use the power point over thevehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts ora fuse may blow.
Note:Always keep the power point capsclosed when not in use.
Do not insert objects other than an accessoryplug into the power point. This damages thepower point and may blow the fuse.
Run the vehicle for full capacity use of thepower point.
To prevent the battery from running out ofcharge:
•Do not use the power point longer thannecessary when the vehicle is notrunning.
•Do not leave devices plugged inovernight or when you park your vehiclefor extended periods.
Locations
Power points may be in the followinglocations:
•On the front of the center console.
•Inside the center console.
•On the rear of the center console.
110 Volt AC Power Point
WARNING: Do not keep electricaldevices plugged in the power pointwhenever the device is not in use. Do notuse any extension cord with the 110 volt ACpower point, since it will defeat the safetyprotection design. Doing so may cause thepower point to overload due to poweringmultiple devices that can reach beyond the150 watt load limit and could result in fire orserious injury.
Note:The power point turns off when youswitch the ignition off, or when the batteryvoltage drops below 11 volts.
You can use the power point for electricdevices that require up to 150 watts. It is onthe rear of the center console.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Extended idling at highengine speeds can produce very hightemperatures in the engine and exhaustsystem, creating the risk of fire or otherdamage.
WARNING: Do not park, idle or driveyour vehicle on dry grass or other dry groundcover. The emission system heats up theengine compartment and exhaust system,creating the risk of fire.
WARNING: Do not start the vehicle ina closed garage or in other enclosed areas.Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always openthe garage door before you start the vehicle.
WARNING: If you smell exhaust fumesinside your vehicle, have your vehiclechecked by an authorized dealerimmediately. Do not drive your vehicle if yousmell exhaust fumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your vehiclemay exhibit some unusual drivingcharacteristics for approximately 5 mi (8 km)after you reconnect it. This is because theengine management system must realignitself with the engine. You can disregard anyunusual driving characteristics during thisperiod.
The powertrain control system meets allCanadian interference-causing equipmentstandard requirements regulating theimpulse electrical field or radio noise.
When you start your vehicle, avoid pressingthe accelerator pedal until the ready to driveindicator illuminates. Only use theaccelerator pedal when you have difficultystarting your vehicle.
KEYLESS STARTING
Note:The keyless starting system may notfunction if the key is close to metal objectsor electronic devices such as cellularphones.
Note:A valid key must be located insideyour vehicle to switch the ignition on andstart the vehicle.

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.
