SETTING CRUISE CONTROL
1. Press the On/Off button. The Cruise Control symbol will illuminate in white on the instrument cluster.
2. When traveling at the desired speed, press the SET– button to set the speed. The symbol will illuminate in green on the instrument cluster.
ADJUSTING CRUISE CONTROL
RES+ Resume/Accelerate
Press the RES+ button to resume a set speed. When the system is active, press the
button to increase speed.
SET– Set/Coast
When the system is active, press the SET– button to decrease speed.
Cancel
Press to cancel the Cruise Control without erasing the set speed from me\
mory. Pressing the brake pedal also will cancel the Cruise Control.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL-ADVANCEDF
The system enhances regular cruise control to maintain a following gap —\
the time between your vehicle and a vehicle detected directly ahead — by accel\
erating or braking automatically while you continue to steer.
Press the Following Gap button to select a gap setting of Far, Medium or Near. This is also the Forward Collision AlertF setting.
Press and hold the Cancel button to switch between regular Cruise Control and Adaptive Cruise Control-Advanced.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver’\
s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Read your Owner’s Manual for important feature limitations and information.
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERTF — When the vehicle is in Reverse, the system warns of cross-traffic approaching in either direction by displaying a red tria\
ngle with directional arrow alert on the infotainment screen and beeps sound.
REAR PARK ASSISTF — During low-speed parking maneuvers, the system provides
“distance to object” information on the Driver Information Center.\
A beep sounds when an object is detected and 5 beeps sound when an object is very close.
To turn Rear Park Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert on or off, press\
the Rear Park Assist button on the center console.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS
REAR VISION CAMERA — When the vehicle is in Reverse, a view of the area behind the vehicle displays on the infotainment screen. Vehicle speed must be below\
8 mph.
TRACTION CONTROL — The full-time traction control system limits wheelspin in diffic\
ult driving conditions. The system turns on automatically every time the veh\
icle is started. Turn off traction control if the vehicle is stuck and rocking the vehicl\
e is required.
To turn traction control on or off, press the Traction Control button on the center console.
LANE CHANGE ALERT WITH SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERTF — While driving, the system
displays a warning symbol on the left or right side mirror when a vehicle is detect\
ed in that side blind zone area or rapidly approaching that area. The warni\
ng symbol flashes if a turn signal is activated when a vehicle has been detected on the sa\
me side.
To turn on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection System\
s > Lane Change Alert.
LANE KEEP ASSIST WITH LANE DEPARTURE WARNINGF — The system may help you avoid collisions due to unintentional lane departures. The Lane Keep Assist Indicator is green on the instrument cluster if the system is available to assist.\
If the vehicle approaches a detected lane marking without using a turn signal in that d\
irection, the system may assist by gently turning the steering wheel and displaying an\
amber .
If active driver steering is not detected, the amber may flash and 3 beeps may sound on the side of the departure direction as the lane marking is crossed. T\
he Lane Keep Assist system does not continuously steer the vehicle; the driver needs \
to steer and be in complete control of the vehicle.
To turn on or off, press the Lane Keep Assist button on the steering wheel.
FORWARD COLLISION ALERTF — The Vehicle Ahead Indicator is green on the instru-ment cluster when a vehicle is detected and is amber when following a ve\
hicle ahead much too closely. When approaching a detected vehicle directly ahead too\
rapidly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and rapid beeps sound.
Press the Collision Alert button on the steering wheel to set the alert timing to Far, Medium, or Near. The setting is displayed on the Driver Information\
Center.
ENHANCED AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKINGF — In detected potential imminent
collision situations with vehicles directly ahead, the system can provid\
e alerts and enhance driver braking or apply the brakes, if you have not already done\
so, to help reduce the severity or help avoid collisions at very low speeds.
To set Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Alert \
to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection\
Systems > Forward Collision System.
FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKINGF — During daytime driving, the system can detect
pedestrians directly ahead up to a distance of approximately 131 feet an\
d displays an amber indicator. When approaching a detected pedestrian too quickly, a red ale\
rt flashes on the windshield and rapid beeps sound. The system may enhanc\
e driver
braking or automatically brake the vehicle, if you have not already done\
so.
To set the system to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Ve\
hicle > Collision/ Detection Systems > Front Pedestrian Detection.

HYBRID LOW GEAR
Operating in Low Gear provides the ability to slow without using the bra\
kes. Vehicle operation during acceleration and cruising is not changed.
L2 (Low 2) – increased regenerative braking as the accelerator pedal is released\
.
L1 (Low 1) – maximum regenerative braking to slow the vehicle.
L (Low) – should be used when descending steep grades or in stop-and-go traffi\
c.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
HYBRID DISPLAYS
Power Gauge – When accelerating or driving, the Power gauge on the instrument
cluster shows the amount of power provided by the propulsion system to propel the vehicle. When coasting or braking, it shows the amount of power provided\
by the
regenerative braking system or the conventional brakes to slow the vehic\
le. Operating the vehicle close to the zero power position during acceleration and braking will result in higher efficiency.
Efficiency Gauge – The Efficiency gauge on the instrument cluster is a guide to driving in an efficient manner. Keeping the indicator in the center of the gau\
ge indicates higher efficiency.
Drive Cycle Info – This screen on the Driver Information Center (DIC) displays the d\
is-tance traveled and average fuel economy for the current trip. The screen\
also is shown when the vehicle is turned off, displaying the information for the compl\
eted trip.
Total Power – This DIC screen provides a numeric representation of the total power being used to propel or stop the vehicle. It shows the power being provi\
ded by the high-voltage battery or charging the high-voltage battery as well as the power provided by the engine.
EV Operation – This DIC screen displays a bar that moves from left to right as th\
e driver requests more power from the propulsion system. While in electric vehicle (EV) mode, maintaining the bar in the green zone maximizes electric operation.
Power Flow – This display on the infotainment screen indicates the current hybri\
d
operating mode, the energy flow direction and the high-voltage battery\
charge level. The operating modes include Engine Power, Battery Power, Hybrid Power, and R\
egen Power Recovery.
Consumption History – This display on the infotainment screen shows the average fuel economy in 5-mile increments over the last 50 miles.
See Instruments and Controls in your Owner’s Manual.
CLIMATE CONTROL SETTINGS
The climate control settings affect the efficiency of the vehicle. To \
maximize efficiency in warm weather, operate the climate controls in the Automatic mode at t\
he highest
comfortable temperature setting or turn off the air conditioning system \
when climate conditions allow.See Climate Controls in your Owner’s Manual.
