HEATED STEERING WHEEL (IF
EQUIPPED)
The heated steering wheel button is on the
climate controls.
Press the button to switch the
heated steering wheel on and off.
Note:You can use the heated steering
wheel only when the engine is running.Note:The system uses a sensor and is
designed to control the temperature of the
steering wheel and to prevent it from
overheating.
Note:In warm temperatures, the steering
wheel quickly reaches its maximum
temperature and the system reduces the
current to the heating element. This could
cause you to think that the system has
stopped working but it has not. This is
normal.

you again or switching the ignition on.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS -
VEHICLES WITH: CONFIGURABLE
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
WARNING: The daytime running
lamps system does not activate the rear
lamps and may not provide adequate
lighting during low visibility driving
conditions. Make sure you switch the
headlamps on, as appropriate, during all
low visibility conditions. Failure to do so
may result in a crash.Switch the daytime running lamps on or off
using the touchscreen:
1. Select Settings. See Settings (page 555).
2. Select Vehicle.
3. Select Lighting.
The daytime running lamps turn on when:
1. The lamps are on in the information
display.
2. You switch the ignition on.
3. The transmission is not in park (P) for
vehicles with automatic transmissions or
you release the parking brake for
vehicles with manual transmissions.
4. The lighting control is in the autolamps
position.
5. The headlamps are off.
The other lighting control switch positions

information display, the lamps stay off in all
switch positions.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS -
VEHICLES WITH: DAYTIME
RUNNING LAMPS (DRL)
WARNING: The daytime running
lamps system does not activate the rear
lamps and may not provide adequate
lighting during low visibility driving
conditions. Make sure you switch the
headlamps on, as appropriate, during all
low visibility conditions. Failure to do so
may result in a crash.

Lighting
WHAT IS AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL
The system turns on high beams if it is dark
enough and no other traffic is present. If it
detects an approaching vehicle’s headlamps
or tail lamps, or street lighting ahead, the
system turns the high beams off. Low beams
remain on.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted behind
the windshield of your vehicle, continuously
monitors conditions to turn the high beams
on and off.
SWITCHING AUTOMATIC HIGH
BEAM CONTROL ON AND OFF
WARNING: Do not use the system in
poor visibility, for example fog, heavy rain,
spray or snow.
Use the touchscreen to select the following:
1. Select Settings.
2. Select Vehicle.3. Select Lighting.
Activating the Automatic High Beam
Control
E281240
Switch the lighting control to the
autolamps position. See
Autolamps (page 112).
Note:The lighting control defaults to
autolamps each time you switch your vehicle
on.
When active, the high beams turn on if all
the following conditions occur:
• The ambient light level is low enough.
• There is no traffic in front of your vehicle.
• The vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
When active, the high beams turn off if at
least one of the following conditions occur:
• The ambient light level is high enough
that you do not require high beams.
• The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps or tail lamps.
• The system detects severe rain, snow or
fog.• A blocked vehicle camera.
• The vehicle speed falls below
approximately 19 mph (30 km/h).
Note:The deactivation speed is lower on
curves.
Note:Certain curvy road situations may
delay high beam reactivation.
Note:If you have a blocked sensor, the
system may not operate properly. Keep the
windshield free from obstruction or damage.
Note:The system may not operate properly
in cold or inclement conditions. You can
switch on the high beams by overriding the
system.
Note:If the system detects a blockage, for
example bird droppings, bug splatter, snow
or ice, the system goes into low beam mode
until you clear the blockage. If you have a
blocked camera, a message may appear in
the information display.
Note:Using much larger tires or equipping
vehicle accessories such as snowplows can
modify your vehicle's ride height and
degrade automatic high beam control
performance.

Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates approximately how
much fuel is in the fuel tank.
The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol
indicates on which side of your vehicle the
fuel filler door is located.
Note:The fuel gauge may vary slightly when
your vehicle is moving or on a slope.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel 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 by plugging
your vehicle in. When the fill reaches empty
the powertrain system switches to hybrid
operation. See Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle
Operation (page 219).
129
Instrument Cluster
Vehicle Range Display
Displays the approximate range your vehicle
can travel with the energy currently onboard.
Estimates vary based on the energy used
when 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 when
driving is affected by:
• Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking.
• 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 flat or hilly roads.
• Towing.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 the fuel
tank or fully charge the battery.
Note:Electric range is lower in cold
temperatures due to reduced energy
capacity in the high voltage battery. Set a
departure time and cabin temperature to
maintain battery temperature for best range
and performance. See Electric Vehicle
Information (page 546).
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.
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.
Indicates the engine coolant temperature.
At normal operating temperature, the level
indicator is in the normal range. If the engine
coolant temperature exceeds the normal
range, stop your vehicle as soon as safely
possible, switch off the engine and let the
engine cool.
