2.Press the push button ignition switch.
Note:The engine may continue crankingfor up to 15 seconds or until it starts.
Note:The engine takes longer to start atlower temperatures. It may crank for severalseconds when very cold.
STARTING A HYBRID ELECTRICVEHICLE SYSTEM - VEHICLESWITHOUT: PUSH BUTTON START
Before starting your vehicle, check thefollowing:
•Make sure that the headlamps andelectrical accessories are off.
•Make sure that the parking brake is on.
•Make sure that the transmission is inpark (P).
1.Fully press the brake pedal.
Note:Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
2.Turn the key to position III.
Note:The green ready indicator illuminatesletting you know that your vehicle is readyfor driving. Since your vehicle is equippedwith a silent key start, the engine may notstart when your vehicle starts.
When the engine starts for the first timeon your drive, the idle speed increases, thishelps to warm up the engine. If the engineidle speed does not slow down, have yourvehicle checked by an authorized dealer.

The system does not function if:
•The passive key frequencies arejammed.
•The key battery has no charge.
RESTARTING THE ENGINE AFTERSTOPPING IT
The system allows you to start the enginewithin 10 seconds of switching it off, evenif it does not detect a valid passive key.

WHAT IS A HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE
A hybrid vehicle has an electric motor anda high voltage battery combined with agasoline engine.
HOW DOES A HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE WORK
The hybrid vehicle combines electric andgasoline propulsion to provide optimalperformance and improved efficiency.
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS
The gasoline engine starts and stops toprovide power when required and to savefuel when not needed. When coasting atlow speeds, coming to a stop or standing,the gas engine normally shuts down andyour vehicle operates in electric-onlymode.
Conditions that may cause the gasolineengine to start or remain running include:
•Considerable vehicle acceleration.
•Driving uphill.
•The high voltage battery charge levelis low.
•Heating or cooling the vehicle interiorin high or low outside temperatures.
•The gasoline engine is below normaloperating temperature.
•Towing a trailer.
•Certain selectable drive modes couldcause the engine to run. See Selectinga Drive Mode (page 230).
Your hybrid vehicle also comes withstandard hydraulic braking andregenerative braking. Regenerative brakingis performed by your transmission andcaptures brake energy and stores it in thehigh voltage battery.
You could also notice that your enginecontinues to run instead of shutting offduring extended downhill driving. Theengine stays on during this engine brakingbut is not using any fuel.
You could also hear a slight whine orwhistle when operating your vehicle. Thisis the normal operation of the electricmotor in the hybrid system.
Note:Having your engine running is notalways an indication of inefficiency. In somecases, it is actually more efficient thandriving in electric mode.
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
INDICATORS
When you start your vehicle, agreen READY indicator lightappears in the instrument clusterletting you know that your vehicle is readyfor driving.
The engine may not start because yourvehicle has a silent key start feature. Thisfuel saving feature allows your vehicle tobe ready to drive without requiring the gasengine to be running.
The indicator remains on when your vehicleis on, whether the engine is running or not,to indicate your vehicle is capable ofmovement using the electric motor, gasengine or both.
Typically, the engine does not start unlessthe vehicle is cold, a climate controlchange is requested or you press theaccelerator pedal.

HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLEINFORMATION – FREQUENTLYASKED QUESTIONS
What should I do if the vehicle runs outof fuel and the high voltage battery isout of charge?
Refuel and start your vehicle normally.The engine will recharge the highvoltage battery.
Why does the engine sometimes startat key-on?
The vehicle's computer determines ifan engine start is required at key-on.It starts the engine when necessary forcabin heating, windshield defrost, or ifthe outside temperature is low.
Can I put E15 or E85 in my vehicle, andhow will it affect my fuel economy?
Your hybrid vehicle can use E15 (15%ethanol, 85% gasoline) fuel, but youmay notice slightly reduced fueleconomy because ethanol containsless energy per gallon than gasoline.Your hybrid vehicle is not designed touse E85 (85% ethanol).
Why does it take a long time before theengine shuts down?
There are several reasons the enginestays on for an extended amount oftime when you first start it. Onecommon reason is to make sure thatthe emissions components are warmenough to minimize tailpipe emission.As the climate gets cooler, theengine-on time is extended.
Why does my engine stay on when it isextremely cold outside?
In order to make sure that the climatecontrol system can begin heating thecabin or defrosting the windshield assoon as a driver requests it, the enginecoolant temperature has to be keptsufficiently hot. Keeping the engine onis required to maintain the correctcoolant temperature.

FUEL QUALITY
SELECTING THE CORRECT FUEL
Your vehicle operates on regular unleadedgasoline with a minimum pump (R+M)/2octane rating of 87.
Some fuel stations, particularly those inhigh altitude areas, offer fuels posted asregular unleaded gasoline with an octanerating below 87. The use of these fuelscould result in engine damage that will notbe covered by the vehicle Warranty.
For best overall vehicle and engineperformance, premium fuel with an octanerating of 91 or higher is recommended. Theperformance gained by using premium fuelis most noticeable in hot weather as wellas other conditions, for example whentowing a trailer. See Towing a Trailer(page 267).
Do not be concerned if the enginesometimes knocks lightly. However, if theengine knocks heavily while using fuel withthe recommended octane rating, contactan authorized dealer to prevent any enginedamage.
We recommend Top Tier detergentgasolines, where available to help minimizeengine deposits and maintain optimalvehicle and engine performance.
For additional information, visitwww.toptiergas.com.
Note:Use of any fuel for which the vehiclewas not designed can impair the emissioncontrol system, cause loss of vehicleperformance, and cause damage to theengine which may not be covered by thevehicle Warranty.
Do not use:
•Diesel fuel.
•Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.
•Fuel containing more than 15% ethanolor E85 fuel.
•Fuels containing methanol.
•Fuels containing metallic-basedadditives, including manganese-basedcompounds.
•Fuels containing the octane boosteradditive, methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
•Leaded fuel, using leaded fuel isprohibited by law.
The use of fuels with metallic compoundssuch as methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl, which is amanganese-based fuel additive, will impairengine performance and affect theemission control system.
LOCATING THE FUEL FILLER
