The ELR features an electronic pushbutton start. The POWER button is located to the right of the steering wheel, near the top of the instrument panel.
The Remote Keyless Entry transmitter must be in the vehicle to start the ELR.
Starting the Vehicle/ON
With the vehicle in Park or Neutral, press the brake pedal and then press the POWER button. A power ON audio cue will sound.
The vehicle will not shift out of Park and will display a Charge Cord Connected message if the vehicle is still plugged in.
When ON, the instrument cluster will display an active battery and fuel gauge. The engine will start only if needed.
The READY READY light will display on the instrument cluster when the vehicle is ready to be driven.
Stopping the Vehicle/OFF
Shift to Park and then press the POWER button. A power OFF audio cue will sound.
Note: The air conditioning compressor, pumps and fan may run at any time, even when the vehicle is OFF, to cool or warm the high voltage propulsion battery.
Pressing and holding the POWER button for more than five seconds without pressing the brake pedal will place the vehicle in Service Only \
Mode. The instruments and audio systems will operate as they do with the vehicle ON, but the vehicle will not be able to be driven. Press the
POWER button again to turn off the vehicle.
Conditions for the Engine Starting
When vehicle power is ON, the engine may start indepen-dent of the vehicle being plugged in or completely charged. Conditions that may cause the engine to start include:
• High voltage propulsion battery charge is low
• High voltage propulsion battery temperature is hot or cold
• Cold ambient temperatures
• Hood is open
• Engine and Fuel Maintenance Modes (occur only if the engine has had very limited operation over a long period)

Electric Mode and Extended-Range Mode
The ELR is an electric vehicle with extended range capability. Plug it in, let it charge overnight, and it’s ready to run on a pure \
electric charge — gas- and tailpipe emissions-free. After that, the ELR uses a range-extending gas engine that produces enough energy to power it for hundreds of miles on a single tank of gas.
Electric Mode
In Electric Mode, the ELR will not use gasoline or produce tailpipe emissions. During this primary mode, the ELR is powered by
electrical energy stored in its high voltage propulsion battery. It can operate in this mode until the battery is depleted to a prede-termined level.
Electric range is affected by colder outside temperatures. During colder months, the energy needed to warm the vehicle’s cabin and high voltage propulsion battery can cause the vehicle’s elec-tric range to decline. See Driving for Better Energy Efficiency in the Driving and Operating section of your Owner Manual.
Extended-Range Mode
Once the electric charge is depleted, the range-extending gas engine will start to generate enough power to continue driving the vehicle. Engine operation ensures that you will not be stranded by a depleted battery. The vehicle determines when the engine
needs to run. Engine speed will vary, depending on driving
conditions, to optimize efficiency. The engine will not fully charge the high voltage propulsion battery. The vehicle must be plugged in to recharge.
Total Vehicle Range
Total vehicle range is based on the available combined electric and extended range. The displayed electric and fuel ranges are
projections based on past vehicle performance and charge/fuel level. The displayed ranges will change based on driving style, outside temperature and climate settings.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

Efficiency
Driving Style
Your driving style plays a large role in the efficiency of the vehicle. Avoid rapid acceleration or deceleration to help maximize energy efficiency and range. Electric range is maximized at 50 mph and below; higher speeds use more energy and significantly reduce electric range.
Driver-Selected Operating Modes
Press the MODE button on the center console to scroll through a menu of operating modes when more performance is needed. After three seconds, the highlighted mode will become active.
Tour (Default) – Use in normal driving conditions for efficient operation; is active each time the vehicle is started.
Sport – Increases throttle response and adjusts
steering and suspension settings for a sportier driving experience.
Mountain – Use when planning to drive in mountainous terrain (long grades of 5% or higher); reserves battery power to maintain higher speeds on steep grades.
Hold – Use to preserve electric range for later use. Range-extending operation will engage.

Efficiency Gauge
Use the 5-way control to select an instrument
cluster theme that
displays the green ring or leaf indicator.
While driving, try to keep the ring green or the leaf in the center of the gauge. The ring will turn yellow or the leaf will move up or down during inefficient acceleration or aggressive braking, depending on the cluster theme.
Regen on Demand™
Regen on Demand temporarily regenerates energy from the vehicle’s momentum and stores it in the high voltage propulsion battery for later use.
To activate Regen on Demand, pull and hold either paddle on the back of the steering wheel without pressing the brake pedal or accelerator pedal.
While pulling either paddle, the vehicle will begin to decelerate using regenerative braking. Regen on Demand is deactivated once the paddles are released, or the brake pedal or accelerator pedal is pressed.
