AUTOMATIC OPERATIONF
Press AUTO.
Set the temperature.
The system automatically controls the fan speed, air delivery, air condi\
tioning and
recirculation to reach the set temperature. Allow time for the system to\
reach the desired temperature. If a function is manually adjusted, the Auto indica\
tor turns off and automatic operation for that function is disabled.

HYBRID LOW GEAR
Operating in Low Gear provides the ability to slow without using the bra\
kes. Vehicle operation during acceleration and cruising is not changed.
L2 (Low 2) – increased regenerative braking as the accelerator pedal is released\
.
L1 (Low 1) – maximum regenerative braking to slow the vehicle.
L (Low) – should be used when descending steep grades or in stop-and-go traffi\
c.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
HYBRID DISPLAYS
Power Gauge – When accelerating or driving, the Power gauge on the instrument
cluster shows the amount of power provided by the propulsion system to propel the vehicle. When coasting or braking, it shows the amount of power provided\
by the
regenerative braking system or the conventional brakes to slow the vehic\
le. Operating the vehicle close to the zero power position during acceleration and braking will result in higher efficiency.
Efficiency Gauge – The Efficiency gauge on the instrument cluster is a guide to driving in an efficient manner. Keeping the indicator in the center of the gau\
ge indicates higher efficiency.
Drive Cycle Info – This screen on the Driver Information Center (DIC) displays the d\
is-tance traveled and average fuel economy for the current trip. The screen\
also is shown when the vehicle is turned off, displaying the information for the compl\
eted trip.
Total Power – This DIC screen provides a numeric representation of the total power being used to propel or stop the vehicle. It shows the power being provi\
ded by the high-voltage battery or charging the high-voltage battery as well as the power provided by the engine.
EV Operation – This DIC screen displays a bar that moves from left to right as th\
e driver requests more power from the propulsion system. While in electric vehicle (EV) mode, maintaining the bar in the green zone maximizes electric operation.
Power Flow – This display on the infotainment screen indicates the current hybri\
d
operating mode, the energy flow direction and the high-voltage battery\
charge level. The operating modes include Engine Power, Battery Power, Hybrid Power, and R\
egen Power Recovery.
Consumption History – This display on the infotainment screen shows the average fuel economy in 5-mile increments over the last 50 miles.
See Instruments and Controls in your Owner’s Manual.
CLIMATE CONTROL SETTINGS
The climate control settings affect the efficiency of the vehicle. To \
maximize efficiency in warm weather, operate the climate controls in the Automatic mode at t\
he highest
comfortable temperature setting or turn off the air conditioning system \
when climate conditions allow.See Climate Controls in your Owner’s Manual.
