#(Normal Air Conditioning):
Press to turn the air conditioning
system on or off. An indicator
light comes on to show that the air
conditioning is on. Normal Air
Conditioning (A/C) can be selected
in any mode as long as the fan
is on and the outside air temperature
is above freezing. Normal A/C
cannot be selected at the same time
as Hybrid Air Conditioning (A/C).
A ashing indicator light indicates
that the air conditioning compressor
is currently not available.
When Normal A/C is selected, the
climate control system prevents
all automatic engine start/stop
operations. This will ensure the
cabin comfort is maintained.
See “Air Conditioning and Automatic
Engine Start/Stop” later in this
section.
N(Hybrid Air Conditioning):
Press to turn the Hybrid A/C system
on or off. An indicator light comes
on to show that Hybrid A/C is
on. Hybrid A/C can be selected inany mode, except defrost as long as
the fan is on and the outside air
temperature is above freezing.
Hybrid A/C cannot be selected at
the same time as the normal
air conditioning. A ashing indicator
light shows the air conditioning
compressor is not available.
The Hybrid A/C works to balance
fuel economy and air conditioning
comfort. When Hybrid A/C is used in
warm weather, the vehicle gets
better fuel economy by allowing
more frequent start/stops. For
additional cooling, select Normal
A/C. See “Air Conditioning and
Automatic Engine Start/Stop” later in
this section.
@(Recirculation):Press to
toggle between the recirculation and
outside air modes. The indicator
light turns on when the recirculation
mode is selected. This mode can
be used to prevent outside air
and odors from entering the vehicle
or to help cool the air inside the
vehicle more quickly. Avoid usingthe recirculation mode during high
periods of humidity and cool outside
temperatures since this may
result in increased window fogging.
If window fogging is experienced,
select the defrost mode.
Recirculation mode is not available
in oor, defog or defrost modes.
If the button is selected in
these modes, the indicator will ash.
This helps prevent window fogging
and moisture building up inside
the vehicle.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a
warming grid to remove fog from the
rear window.
The rear window defogger will only
work when the ignition is in
ON/RUN.
<(Rear Window Defogger):
Press to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. An indicator light
on the button comes on to show
that it is activated.

Odometer
The speedometer shows the
vehicle’s speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers
per hour (km/h).
The odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven, in
either miles or kilometers.
If the vehicle needs a new odometer
installed, the new one is set to
the mileage total of the old
odometer. If it cannot, it will be set
at zero and a label must be put
on the driver’s door to show the old
mileage reading when the new
odometer was installed. If the
mileage is unknown, the label
should then indicate that the
previous mileage is unknown.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer is located on the

the hybrid battery.
When the gage indicates ASSIST,
the electric motor is performing
an automatic restart of the engine,
or the electric motor is assisting
for maximum acceleration.
When the gage indicates CHARGE,
the electric motor operates as a
generator to perform regenerative
braking, while decelerating. See
Regenerative Braking on page 2-23
for more information.
The gage also indicates CHARGE
when the system is recharging
the hybrid battery.If the hybrid battery or other hybrid
components are very hot or cold, the
CHARGE and ASSIST functions can
be suspended until the component
temperatures are normal.

retailer will set the correct zone for
your location.
Under certain circumstances, such
as during a long distance
cross-country trip or moving to a
new state or province, it will
be necessary to compensate for
compass variance by resetting the
zone through the DIC if the zone
is not set correctly.Compass variance is the difference
between the earth’s magnetic
north and true geographic north. If
the compass is not set to the
zone where you live, the compass
may give false readings. The
compass must be set to the variance
zone in which the vehicle is
traveling.
To adjust for compass variance, use
the following procedure:

signal also comes on to indicate
that corner’s sensor is ready
to be learned.5. Remove the valve cap from the
tire’s valve stem. Activate the
TPMS sensor by increasing
or decreasing the tire’s air
pressure for about eight seconds.
The horn chirp, can take up to
