Auto-Folding Mirrors (If Equipped)
The exterior mirrors fold in toward the
glass after you place the transmission into
park (P), turn off the vehicle, open and
close the driver side door and lock the
vehicle. The exterior mirrors unfold and
return to their driving position after you
unlock the vehicle and open and close the
driver side door.
You can switch this feature on and off
through the information display. See
General Information
(page 110).
You can fold the mirrors on demand by
pressing the power-folding mirror control
on the door. The control lights and the
mirrors fold in toward the glass. Press the
control again to unfold the mirrors. The
control light turns off.
Note: If you use the power-folding control
to fold the mirrors on demand with the auto
fold feature on, you must use the control
again to unfold them.
Loose Mirror
If you manually fold your power-folding
mirrors, they may not work properly even
after you re-position them. You need to
reset them if:
• The mirrors vibrate when you drive.
• The mirrors feel loose.
• The mirrors do not stay in the folded or
unfolded position.
• One of the mirrors is not in its normal
driving position.
To reset the power-fold feature, use the
power-folding mirror control to fold and
unfold the mirrors. You may hear a loud
noise as you reset the power-folding
mirrors. This sound is normal. Repeat this
process as needed each time you manually
fold the mirrors. Heated Exterior Mirrors

See
Heated Exterior Mirrors (page 146).
Memory Mirrors
(If Equipped)
You can save and recall the mirror
positions through the memory function.

Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the distance to empty
reaches 75 mi (120 km) to empty for
MyKey, and at 50 mi (80 km), 25 mi
(40 km), 10 mi (20 km) and 0 mi (0 km)
for all vehicle keys.
Note: The low fuel reminder can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal.
Battery Gauge
The high voltage battery gauge displays
the total amount of charge associated with
your available electric only driving range.
A full fill represents the total amount of
energy you can get from an external charge
(plugging your vehicle in). When the fill
reaches empty the powertrain system
automatically switches to hybrid operation.
See
Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle Operation
(page 178).
Vehicle Driving Range Vehicle range indicates the estimated
distance your vehicle can travel with the
energy currently onboard. Estimates vary
based on the energy used while driving.
Changes in driving pattern can cause the
values to not only decrease but also
increase or stay constant for periods of
time.
The amount of energy being used while
driving is affected by: •
Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking.
• Your vehicle speed.
• Use of accessories such as climate
control.
• Ambient temperature and other
weather conditions.
• Driving in a city or on a highway.
• Driving on hilly road conditions.
Note: It is normal for vehicle range
estimates to vary due to changes in average
energy usage. This is why you typically see
different range estimates each time you fill
up your fuel tank or fully charge your battery.
Gasoline Distance to Empty
Indicates the approximate distance your
vehicle can travel on the fuel remaining in
the tank.
Electric Range
Indicates the approximate distance your
vehicle can travel on electric power only
with the engine off.
Information Display
Information that appears depends on your
vehicle settings. See
General
Information (page 110).
Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge WARNING:
Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10
minutes for the cooling system to cool
down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap
with a thick cloth to prevent the
possibility of scalding and slowly remove
the cap. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury.
