Automatic Transmission
Detected objects are indicated by audible beeps when the vehicle is in Reverse. The
interval between beeps becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to an object. When the
distance is less than 12 in. (30 cm), the beeps are continuous. The system operates only
at speeds less than 5 mph.
• To turn the system on/off, press the Parking Assistbutton on the center of the
instrument panel.
Note: THE SYSTEM MAY BE DISABLED IF DIRT, SNOW OR ICE BUILDS UP ON THE
SENSORS. KEEP THE VEHICLE CLEAN FOR PROPER OPERATION.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Electric Parking Brake
• To apply the parking brake, pull up theParking Brakeswitch by the shift lever.
• To release the parking brake, turn on the ignition, press the brake pedal and press the
Parking Brakeswitch.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist✦
The full-time, full-function traction control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak
electronic stability control system assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult
driving conditions. Both systems turn on automatically every time the vehicle is started.

StabiliTrak®/Traction Control Systems
Driver Shift Control
Driver Shift Control (DSC) allows the driver to shift gears manually. This feature can be
used to drive the vehicle in a sportier manner or to downshift when driving on a downhill
grade to provide engine braking.
• Move the shift lever to the left of the Drive (D) position. Tap the shift lever forward (+) to
upshift or rearward to downshift (–). The currently selected gear will be displayed in the
Driver Information Center.
If vehicle speed is too high or too low for the requested gear, the shift will not occur. When
coming to a stop, the transmission will automatically downshift.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

Power Flow Display
The Power Flow display, located
on the instrument panel’s Driver
Information Center or on the audio
system color display (if equipped),
indicates the energy flow direction,
the high-voltage battery charge
level, and the current eAssist oper-
ating mode. These modes include:
• Engine Idle – The vehicle is
stopped and the engine is
running.
• Auto Stop – The vehicle is stopped, the engine has been automatically turned off and is
ready to automatically restart when needed.
• Engine Power – The engine is providing the primary drive power for the vehicle.
• Hybrid Power – The eAssist electric motor is providing significant electrical assist to
the engine.
• Battery Charging – The eAssist electric motor is charging the high-voltage battery while
the vehicle is slowing down.
See Instruments and Controls in your Owner Manual.
Driver Efficiency Gauge
The efficiency gauge assists you in driving efficiently. To maximize efficiency, attempt to
keep the pointer in the solid green zone in the middle of the gauge. The gauge moves to
the left when braking and to the right when accelerating. When either is done aggressively,
it is less efficient and the gauge will move further away from the center. The eAssist
system’s ability to capture energy while the vehicle is slowing down makes decelerating
very important for efficiency.
See Instruments and Controls in your Owner Manual.
Climate Control Settings
• Press the Air Conditioningbutton until the button indicator is green to select the
eco air conditioning setting for maximum efficiency. This setting will maximize the
frequency and duration of Auto Stops while still providing cabin comfort when the
vehicle is in an Auto Stop.
• Press the Air Conditioningbutton until the button indicator is blue to select the
comfort air conditioning setting for maximum cabin comfort. Auto Stops will be reduced
in both frequency and duration.
See Climate Controls in your Owner Manual.
