Trip 1 or Trip 2 and Average Efficiency :The
Trip display shows the current distance
traveled, in either kilometers (km) or
miles (mi), since the trip odometer was last
reset. To reset the current trip, touch and
hold the touchscreen display when trip
odometer is displayed on the vehicle status
screen.
The Average Efficiency shows the
approximate average kWh per
100 kilometers (kWh/100 km), kilometers
per kilowatt hour kWh (km/kWh), or miles
per kilowatt hour kWh(mi/kWh). This
number is calculated based on the number
of kWh/100 km, km/kWh, or mi/kWh
recorded since the last time this menu item
was reset. This number only reflects the
approximate average electrical energy
economy that the vehicle has at that
moment, and changes as driving conditions
change. Current Trip :
Displays distance driven,
average efficiency, and time elapsed since
vehicle startup. It resets when you turn your
vehicle off.
Time/Date : Displays current date and time
information.
Tire Pressure : Shows the approximate
pressures of all four tires. Tire pressure is
displayed in either kilopascal (kPa) or in
pounds per square inch (psi). If the pressure
is low, the value for that tire is shown in
amber. See Tire Pressure Monitor System
0 351 and
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation 0351.
If equipped, Tire Temperature is located
below the tire pressure graphic. Tire
Temperature shows overall temperature as
either Cold, Cool, Normal, Warm, or Hot.
Normal is typical for normal driving while
Warm is typical for spirited driving.
Unknown displays when tire temperature
information is unavailable.
Trailer Brake : On vehicles with the
Integrated Trailer Brake Control (ITBC)
system, the trailer brake display appears in
the DIC. TRAILER GAIN shows the trailer gain setting.
This setting can be adjusted from 0.0 to 10.0
with either a trailer connected or
disconnected.

the trailer any time a trailer with electric
brakes is connected. Output is displayed as a
bar graph. Dotted lines may appear in the
OUTPUT display if a trailer is not connected.
Trailer Tire Pressure :
If equipped, shows the
approximate pressures of all trailer tires. Tire
pressure is displayed in either
kilopascal (kPa) or in pounds per square
inch (psi). If the pressure is low, the value
for that tire is shown in amber. See
Trailering App 0310.
Trailer Tire Temperature is located below the
tire pressure. Trailer Tire Temperature shows
each trailer tire temperature in either
degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit
(°F).

The messages that do not require
immediate action can be acknowledged and
cleared by pressing
V. The messages that
require immediate action cannot be cleared
until that action is performed.
All messages should be taken seriously;
clearing the message does not correct the
problem.
If a SERVICE message appears, see your
dealer.
Follow the instructions given in the
messages. The system displays messages
regarding the following topics:
.Service Messages

Propulsion Power Messages
REDUCED ACCELERATION DRIVE
WITH CARE
This message displays when the vehicle's
propulsion power is reduced. A reduction in
propulsion power can affect the vehicle's
ability to accelerate. If this message is on,
but there is no observed reduction in
performance, proceed to your destination.
Under certain conditions, the performance
may be reduced the next time the vehicle is
driven. The vehicle may be driven while this
message is on, but maximum acceleration
and speed may be reduced. Anytime this
message stays on, or displays repeatedly,
the vehicle should be taken to your dealer
for service as soon as possible.
This message can be displayed when the
high voltage battery charge level is low. This
is normal behavior as the vehicle is limiting
power due to reduced battery capability. Under certain operating conditions
propulsion will be disabled. Try restarting
after the vehicle has been off for
two minutes.
PROPULSION POWER REDUCED DUE TO
TEMPERATURE
This message displays when the vehicle is
on, the battery temperature is low, and
when the vehicle’s performance is limited.
The duration of the limited vehicle
performance depends, in part, on the high
voltage battery charge level. If the high
voltage battery charge level is relatively
high, as the vehicle is driven, the battery
temperature will increase, and the vehicle
will return to normal operation. If the high
voltage battery charge level is relatively low
the vehicle will not return to normal
operation until charged.
Keep the vehicle plugged in, even when fully
charged, to keep the high voltage battery
temperature ready for the next drive. This is
important when outside temperatures are
extremely hot or cold.

Universal Remote System
Programming
If equipped, the Universal Garage Door
(Universal Remote) controls are located on
the infotainment screen.
This system can replace up to eight remote
control transmitters used to activate devices
such as garage door openers, security
systems, and home automation devices.
These instructions refer to a garage door
opener, but can be used for other devices. Do not use the Universal Remote system
with any garage door opener that does not
have the stop and reverse feature. This
includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Keep the original hand-held transmitter for
use in other vehicles as well as for future
programming. Erase the programming when
vehicle ownership is terminated. See
“Erasing Universal Remotes.”
To program a garage door opener, park
outside directly in line with and facing the
garage door opener receiver. Clear all people
and objects away from the garage door.
Make sure the hand-held transmitter has a
new battery for quick and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
Programming the Universal Remote
System
Programming involves time-sensitive actions
and may time out, requiring the procedure
to be repeated. Read these instructions
completely before programming the

.Keep pets in an appropriate carrier or
restraint.
.Avoid stressful conversations while
driving, whether with a passenger or on a
mobile phone.
{Warning
Taking your eyes off the road too long or
too often could cause a crash resulting in
injury or death. Focus your attention on
driving.
Your vehicle may be equipped with features
that can help with hands-free use of the
infotainment system, navigation system,
and your mobile phone. For more
information, see Introduction0147 in the
Infotainment section, Voice Recognition
0 159, Bluetooth (Pairing and Using a Phone)
0 161 or
Bluetooth (Overview) 0160, and Steering
Wheel Controls 0149.
Defensive Driving
Defensive driving means to always expect
the unexpected. The first step in driving
defensively is to wear a seat belt. See Seat
Belts 052.
.Assume that other road users
(pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers)
are going to be careless and make
mistakes. Anticipate what they may do
and be ready.
.Allow enough following distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle in front
of you.
.Focus on the task of driving.
Impaired Driving
Death and injury associated with impaired
driving is a global tragedy.
{Warning
Drinking alcohol or taking drugs and then
driving is very dangerous. Your reflexes,
perceptions, attentiveness, and judgment
can be affected by even a small amount
of alcohol or drugs. You can have a
serious —or even fatal —collision if you
drive after drinking or taking drugs.
Do not drive while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs, or ride with a driver
who has been drinking or is impaired by (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
drugs. Find alternate transportation
home; or if you are with a group,
designate a driver who will remain sober.
Control of a Vehicle
Braking, steering, and accelerating are
important factors in helping to control a
vehicle while driving.
Braking
Braking action involves perception time and
reaction time. Deciding to push the brake
pedal is perception time. Actually doing it is
reaction time.
Average driver reaction time is about
three-quarters of a second. In that time, a
vehicle moving at 100 km/h (60 mph) travels
20 m (66 ft), which could be a lot of
distance in an emergency.
Helpful braking tips to keep in mind include:
.Keep enough distance between you and
the vehicle in front of you.
.Avoid needless heavy braking.
.Keep pace with traffic.

184 Driving and Operating
Steering
Caution
To avoid damage to the steering system,
do not drive over curbs, parking barriers,
or similar objects at speeds greater than
3 km/h (1 mph). Use care when driving
over other objects such as lane dividers
and speed bumps. Damage caused by
misuse of the vehicle is not covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Electric Power Steering
The vehicle is equipped with an electric
power steering system, which reduces the
amount of effort needed to steer the
vehicle. It does not have power steering
fluid. Regular maintenance is not required.
If the power steering system overheats,
there will be a temporary reduced level of
steering assist until the system cools down.
For example, the system can overheat if the
steering wheel is held firmly for an
extended amount of time at the end of its
range of travel. The energy from the
additional power assist becomes heat.
Normal operation of the power steering
system will resume when the system
cools down.
If the power steering system malfunctions,
the power steering system will have no
steering assist and greater steering effort
may be required. See your dealer to resolve
the problem.
Curve Tips
.Reduce speed before entering a curve.
.Maintain a reasonable steady speed
through the curve.
.Wait until the vehicle is out of the curve
before accelerating gently into the
straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
.There are some situations when steering
around a hazard may be more effective
than braking.
.Holding both sides of the steering wheel
allows you to turn 180 degrees without
removing a hand.
.The Antilock Brake System (ABS) allows
steering while braking.
