HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
INFORMATION –
TROUBLESHOOTING
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
INFORMATION – FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
How long is the high voltage battery
system designed to last?
The high voltage battery system is
designed to last the life of your vehicle.
Does the high voltage battery require
maintenance? The high voltage battery does not
require maintenance.
What should I do if the vehicle runs out
of fuel and the high voltage battery is
out of charge? Refuel and start your vehicle normally.
The engine will recharge the high
voltage battery.
Why does the engine sometimes start
at key-on? The vehicle's computer will determine
if an engine start is required at key-on.
It starts the engine when necessary for
cabin heating, windshield defrost, or if
the outside temperature is low.
Can I put E15 or E85 in my vehicle, and
how will it affect my fuel economy? Your hybrid vehicle can use E15 (15%
ethanol, 85% gasoline) fuel, but you
may notice slightly reduced fuel
economy because ethanol contains
less energy per gallon than gasoline.
Your hybrid vehicle is not designed to
use E85 (85% ethanol). Why does it take a long time before the
engine shuts down?
There are several reasons the engine
stays on for an extended amount of
time when you first start it. One
common reason is to make sure that
the emissions components are warm
enough to minimize tailpipe emission.
As the climate gets cooler, the
engine-on time is extended.
Why does my engine stay on when it is
extremely cold outside? In order to make sure that the climate
control system can begin heating the
cabin or defrosting the windshield as
soon as a driver requests it, the engine
coolant temperature has to be kept
sufficiently hot. Keeping the engine on
is required to maintain the correct
coolant temperature.
ECO IDLE
WHAT IS ECO IDLE
Eco idle reduces fuel consumption when
your vehicle is in park (P) and idling for long
periods of time. Eco idle more efficiently
extends the use of features that are
powered by the high voltage battery when
your vehicle is stationary.
HOW DOES ECO IDLE WORK
Eco idle increases the engine idle speed
above normal for a short period of time to
efficiently charge the high voltage battery.
Note: Engine sound and vibration could be
more noticeable.
SWITCHING ECO IDLE ON AND OFF
To switch eco idle on and off use the
touchscreen:

(If Equipped)
Note:
If your vehicle sustains damage to
the bumper or fascia leaving it misaligned
or bent, it could alter the sensing zone
causing inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alerts.
Note: Vehicle loading and suspension
changes can impact the angle of the sensors
and may change the normal detection zone
of the system resulting in inaccurate
measurement of obstacles or false alerts.
Note: When you connect a trailer, the
system may detect the trailer and provide
an alert, or the system turns off. If the
system does not turn off, switch the system
off manually after you connect the trailer.
