Your vehicle contains selectable electric
vehicle (EV) modes. Press the button on
the center console to change the mode.
Depending on your drive mode selection
some EV modes may not be available. EV
Now and EV Later modes are only
available when you have electric-only
driving range available.
AUTO EV
E287836
This mode provides an
automatic use of high voltage
battery power during the drive,
staying in electric mode when possible and
running the engine when needed.
EV CHARGE
E287822
This mode uses your vehicle's
engine to charge the high voltage
battery versus plugging the
vehicle into a utility grid. The electric range gained through the EV
Charge allows you to switch to Auto EV or
EV Now for full electric operation later in
your drive. The battery cannot completely
charge to 100% when in EV Charge mode.
This is to allow for full operation of the
regenerative braking system. When the
battery reaches its EV Charge limit, the
vehicle remains in EV Charge mode and
maintains that charge level, until you select
another EV Mode, or until you switch your
vehicle off.
When you enable EV Charge, a white EV
Charge icon appears in the information
display.
EV Charge resets to Auto EV when you
switch off your vehicle. You may select EV
Charge again using the EV button during
your next drive.
EV LATER
E287824
In EV Later, your vehicle runs on
the engine as needed and saves
most of the available electric
range for later use in Auto EV or EV Now
mode.
For example, your initial drive is at high
speeds on open roads, but later your drive
is at low speeds in an urban area where
electric only driving is most efficient. In this
case, you can select EV Later for the higher
speed portion of your trip and then select
Auto EV or EV Now for the urban portion.
When you enable EV Later, a white EV
Later icon appears in the information
display. EV Later resets to Auto EV when
you switch off your vehicle. You may select
EV Later again using the EV button during
your next drive.

HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
VEHICLE PRECAUTIONS -
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
(HEV)
In the event of damage or fire involving an
electric vehicle or hybrid-electric vehicle:
• Assume the high-voltage battery and
associated components are energized
and fully charged.
• Exposed electrical components, wires and high-voltage batteries present
potential high-voltage shock hazards.
• Venting high-voltage battery vapors are potentially toxic and flammable.
• Physical damage to the vehicle or high-voltage battery could result in
immediate or delayed release of toxic,
flammable gases and fire. Vehicle information and general safety
practices include reviewing the owner's
manual and becoming familiar with your
vehicle's safety information and
recommended safety practices.
Crashes
A crash or impact significant enough to
require an emergency response for
conventional vehicles would also require
the same response for an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle.
If Possible:
1. Move your vehicle to a safe, nearby
location and remain on the scene.
2. Roll down the windows before you switch your vehicle off.
3. Place your vehicle in park (P), set the parking brake, switch off the vehicle,
activate the hazard flashers and move
your key(s) at least 16 ft (5 m) away
from the vehicle.
Always:
• Call emergency assistance if needed and advise that an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle is involved.
• Avoid contact with leaking fluids and gases, and remain out of the way of
oncoming traffic until emergency
responders arrive.
• When emergency responders arrive, tell them that the vehicle involved is an
electric vehicle or hybrid-electric
vehicle.
Fires
As with any vehicle, call emergency
assistance immediately if you see sparks,
smoke or flames coming from the vehicle.
Remain a safe distance from the vehicle
and try to stay clear of the smoke.
309
Crash and Breakdown Information

1. Exit the vehicle immediately.
2. Advise emergency assistance that anelectric or hybrid-electric vehicle is
involved.
3. As with any vehicle fire, do not inhale smoke, vapors or gas from the vehicle,
as they may be hazardous.
Post-Incident
1. Do not store a severely damagedvehicle with a lithium-ion battery inside
a structure or within 49 ft (15 m) of any
structure or vehicle.
2. Make sure that passenger and luggage compartments remain ventilated.
3. Call emergency assistance if you observe leaking fluids, sparks, smoke
or flames, or hear gurgling or bubbling
from the high-voltage battery.
SWITCHING THE HAZARD
FLASHERS ON AND OFF
