Hybrid Information (If Equipped)
This Trip
Provides trip timer, trip average fueleconomy, total trip distance traveled, anddistance traveled on electric power onlywith the engine off. If the gasoline enginehas not turned on during the trip then tripaverage fuel economy is not shown. ThisTrip automatically resets each time youstart your vehicle.
EV Coach
EV Coach can help you to get the most outof your vehicle’s electric driving andregenerative braking capabilities.
When you are accelerating or maintainingspeed you will see a blue or white solid barindicating vehicle power. You may also seea blue rectangular box which shows thepower level at which the engine will turnon.
•When your power level is within the boxthe color of the bar will be blue. Thismeans you are in Electric operation andthe engine is off.
•When your power level is outside of thebox the color of the bar will be white.This means you are in Hybrid operationwith a combination of the electricmotor and the engine providing vehiclepower.
When you are decelerating with either yourfoot off the accelerator pedal or on thebrake pedal you will see a green or whitesolid bar indicating the power being usedto slow down the vehicle. You may alsosee a green rectangular box which showsthe amount of power that can berecaptured by the regenerative brakingsystem and returned to the high voltagebattery.
•When your power level is completelywithin the box the color of the bar willbe all green. This means that theregenerative braking system is beingused to efficiently slow the vehicledown and return the maximumpercentage of energy to the highvoltage battery.
•When your power level is outside of thegreen box then the bar will be white.This means that both the regenerativebraking system and conventionalbraking system are being used.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The recommended tire inflation pressuresare found on the Tire Label which islocated on the B-pillar or the edge of thedriver door. This information can also befound on the Safety ComplianceCertification Label, affixed to either thedoor hinge pillar, door-latch post, or thedoor edge that meets the door-latch post,next to the driver’s seating position.
We strongly recommend maintaining thesetire pressures at all times. Failure to followthe tire pressure recommendations cancause uneven treadwear patterns, reducedfuel economy, and adversely affect theway your vehicle handles.
Note:Check and set the tire pressure at theambient temperature in which you areintending to drive your vehicle and when thetires are cold.
Note:Check your tire pressures at leastonce per month.
If your vehicle has a spare tire, set thepressure to the highest value given for yourvehicle and tire size combination.
Use only approved wheels and tire sizes;using other sizes could damage yourvehicle.
If you change the diameter of the factoryinstalled tires, the speedometer coulddisplay the incorrect speed. This couldeffect the functionality of the 4WD system(if equipped). Take your vehicle to anauthorized dealer and have the enginemanagement system reprogrammed.
If you intend to change the size of thefactory installed tires, check the suitabilitywith an authorized dealer.
Additional information related to thefunctionality and maintenance of your tirescan be found in the Wheels and Tiresection. See Tire Care (page 349).
Self-Sealing Tires (If Equipped)
Self-Sealing tires are a special type of tirethat have a material on the inside of thetire that can seal punctures up to 0.2 in(6 mm) in diameter in the tread area. Thismaterial does not protect from damage orpunctures in the sidewall of the tire.Self-sealing tires can be identified by thetire manufacturer with a special mark.
If your TPMS warning light comes on,inspect your tires for damage and re-inflateyour tires to the pressure indicated on thetire placard. See Tire PressureMonitoring System (page 364). If yourtires are damaged or continue to lose air,take your vehicle to the nearest authorizeddealer to have your tires inspected andrepaired/replaced as necessary.
Note:Replace self-sealing tires withself-sealing tires to maintain thefunctionality provided.
Note:Do not drive on a deflatedself-sealing tire. This damages the tirebeyond repair.
Notice to utility vehicle and truckowners
WARNING: Vehicles with a highercenter of gravity (utility and four-wheeldrive vehicles) handle differently thanvehicles with a lower center of gravity(passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns,excessive speed and abrupt steering inthese vehicles. Failure to drive cautiouslyincreases the risk of losing control of yourvehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injuryand death.
WARNING: In a rollover crash, anunbelted person is significantly morelikely to die than a person wearing aseatbelt.
