This Trip
Provides trip timer, trip average fuel
economy, total trip distance traveled, and
distance traveled on electric power only with
the engine off. If the gasoline engine has not
turned on during the trip, then trip average
fuel economy does not display. This Trip
automatically resets each time you start your
vehicle.Fuel Economy
An Instant Fuel Economy gauge is provided
along with Average Fuel Economy. Average
fuel economy is continuously averaged since
the last reset.
Both electric only and hybrid operation are
included in the calculation. More electric only
driving will result in greater average fuel
economy.
While viewing this screen you can reset your
average fuel economy by pressing and
holding the folder button.
When the gasoline engine is off the instant
fuel economy gauge is replaced with an
electric driving message.EV Coach
EV Coach can help you to get the most out
of your vehicle’s electric driving and
regenerative braking capabilities.
When you are accelerating or maintaining
speed you will see a blue or white solid bar
indicating vehicle power. You may also see
a blue rectangular box which shows the
power level at which the engine will turn on.
• When the power level is within the box,
the color of the bar will be blue. This
means you are in Electric operation and
the engine is off.
• When the power level is outside of the
box, the color of the bar will be white.
This means you are in Hybrid operation
with a combination of the electric motor
and the engine providing vehicle power.

PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE (PHEV)
The system helps reduce fuel consumption
by automatically stopping and restarting the
engine when your vehicle has stopped. The
engine restarts automatically when you
release the brake pedal.
In some situations, your vehicle may restart
automatically, for example:
• To maintain interior comfort.
• To recharge the battery.
Note:Power assist steering turns off when
the engine is off.
Note:If your vehicle is flex fuel capable,
Auto-Start-Stop will be inhibited for a short
time after a refuel event while the system is
verifying the fuel type being used.
WARNING: Apply the parking brake,
shift into park (P), switch the ignition off
and remove the key before you leave your
vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction

HYBRID VEHICLE OPERATION
This hybrid vehicle combines electric and
gasoline propulsion to provide breakthrough
performance and improved efficiency.
Familiarizing yourself with these unique
characteristics provides an optimal driving
experience from your vehicle.
Starting
E293827
When you start your vehicle, a
green READY indicator light
appears in the instrument cluster
letting you know that your vehicle is ready
for driving.
The engine may not start because your
vehicle has a silent key start feature. This
fuel saving feature allows your vehicle to be
ready to drive without requiring the gas
engine to be running. The indicator remains
on when your vehicle is on, whether the
engine is running or not, to indicate your
vehicle is capable of movement using the
electric motor, gas engine or both. Typically,
the engine does not start unless the vehicle
is cold, a climate control change is requested
or you press the accelerator pedal.
Driving
The gas engine automatically starts and
stops to provide power when needed and
to save fuel when not needed. When
coasting at low speeds, coming to a stop, or
standing, the gas engine normally shuts
down and your vehicle operates in
electric-only mode.
Conditions that may cause the engine to start
up or remain running include:
• Considerable vehicle acceleration.
• Climbing a hill.
• Charge level of high voltage battery is
low.
• High or low outside temperatures in
order to provide system heating or
cooling.
• Engine not warm enough to provide
passenger requested cabin temperature.
• Towing a trailer.
