object, and the object gets wedged
between the phone and charger,
remove the phone and allow the
object to cool before removing it
from the charging pad, to prevent
burns.
To charge a mobile device:1. Remove all objects from the charging pad. The system may
not charge if there are any
objects between the mobile
device and charging pad.
2. Place the mobile device face up on the
@symbol on the

220 DRIVING AND OPERATING
the vehicle is ready to be driven. This
could take up to 15 seconds at
extremely cold temperatures. See
Vehicle Ready Light (PLUG-IN Only)
0151.
PLUG-IN Operation
This vehicle combines gasoline and
electric propulsion. The gasoline
engine will automatically start to
provide power and then shut off to
save fuel.
The engine may remain
running when:
.
Accelerating aggressively or
climbing hills.
. Vehicle speed is greater than
125 km/h (75 mph).
. Charging the high voltage battery.
. The heater is being used.
The engine and transmission work
together to provide propulsion power
at the highest efficiency. This may
result in higher engine speeds.
Stop/Start System
{Warning
Exiting the vehicle without first
shifting into P (Park) may cause the
vehicle to move. You or others may
be injured. Because the vehicle may
have an auto engine stop/start
feature, the vehicle's engine might
seem to be shut off; however, once
the brake pedal is released, the
engine will start up again.

ignition off before exiting the
vehicle.

start system to shut off the engine
and help conserve fuel.

engine may turn off. When stopped,
the tachometer may display Auto

on in the instrument cluster.
See Tachometer 0134 and Auto Stop Mode (Uplevel Cluster)
0150. When the
brake pedal is released or the
accelerator pedal is pressed, the
engine may restart.
Auto Stop may be deactivated if:
. A minimum vehicle speed is not
reached.
. The engine or transmission is not
at the required operating
temperature.
. The outside temperature is not in
the required operating range,
typically between -10 °C (14 °F)
and 50 °C (122 °F).
. The shift lever is in any gear other
than D (Drive).
. The battery has been recently
disconnected.
. The battery charge is low.
