Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system does not have to be
manually armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically
immobilized when the transmitter
leaves the vehicle.
The immobilization system is
disarmed when POWER
Ois
pressed and a valid transmitter is
found in the vehicle.
The security light on the instrument
cluster comes on when there is a
problem with arming or disarming
the theft-deterrent system. The system has one or more
transmitters matched to an
immobilizer control unit in the
vehicle. Only a correctly matched
transmitter will start the vehicle.
If the transmitter is damaged, you
may not be able to start the vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light comes on briefly when
the vehicle is turned on.
If the vehicle does not start and the
security light stays on, there is a
problem with the system. Turn the
vehicle off and try again.
If the RKE transmitter appears to be
undamaged, try another transmitter,
or place the transmitter in the
transmitter pocket.
See
“Starting the Vehicle with a Low
Transmitter Battery” underRemote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation 08.
If the vehicle does not start with the
other transmitter or with the
transmitter placed in the transmitter
pocket, the vehicle needs service.
See your dealer who can service
the theft-deterrent system and have
a new transmitter programmed to
the vehicle.
Do not leave the transmitter or
device that disarms or deactivates
the theft-deterrent system in the
vehicle.

48 Seats and Restraints
{Warning
Because airbags inflate with great
force and faster than the blink of
an eye, anyone who is up
against, or very close to, any
airbag when it inflates can be
seriously injured or killed. Do not
sit unnecessarily close to any
airbag, as you would be if sitting
on the edge of the seat or leaning
forward. Seat belts help keep you
in position before and during a
crash. Always wear a seat belt,
even with airbags. The driver
should sit as far back as possible
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle. The seat belts and
the front outboard passenger
airbags are most effective when
you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat with both feet
on the floor.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Occupants should not lean on or
sleep against the door or side
windows in seating positions with
seat-mounted side impact airbags
and/or roof-rail airbags.
{Warning
Children who are up against,
or very close to, any airbag when
it inflates can be seriously injured
or killed. Always secure children
properly in the vehicle. To read
how, seeOlder Children 059 or
Infants and Young Children 061.
There is an airbag readiness light
on the instrument cluster, which
shows the airbag symbol. The
system checks the airbag electrical
system for malfunctions. The light
tells you if there is an electrical
problem. See Airbag Readiness
Light 0100 for more information.
Where Are the Airbags?
The driver frontal airbag is in the
center of the steering wheel.
The front outboard passenger
frontal airbag is in the passenger
side instrument panel.

{Warning
In freezing weather, do not use
the washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.
Auto Wipe in Reverse Gear
If the rear wiper control is off, the
rear wiper will automatically operate
continuously when the vehicle is in
R (Reverse), and the front
windshield wiper is performing low
or high speed wipes. If the rear
wiper control is off, the vehicle is in
R (Reverse), and the front
windshield wiper is performing
intermittent wipes, then the rear
wiper automatically performs
intermittent wipes. This feature can be turned on or off.
See
Vehicle Personalization 0121.
The windshield washer reservoir is
used for the windshield and the rear
window. Check the fluid level in the
reservoir if either washer is not
working.
Rear Wiper Arm Assembly
Protection
Wiper operation returns to normal
when the shift lever is no longer in
N (Neutral) or the vehicle speed
increases. The rear wiper will also
stop when the liftgate is open.
When using an automatic car wash,
move the rear wiper control to OFF
to disable the rear wiper. If the shift
lever is in N (Neutral) and the
vehicle speed is very slow, the rear
wiper will automatically stop at the
base of the rear window.
Compass
The vehicle has a compass display
in the instrument cluster above the
speedometer. The compass
receives its heading and other
information from the Global
Positioning System (GPS) antenna
and vehicle speed information.
The compass system has automatic
calibration and zone adjustment
features.
Avoid covering the GPS antenna for
long periods of time with objects
that may interfere with the antenna's
ability to receive a satellite signal.
The compass system is designed to
operate for a certain number of
miles or degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. The compass system will
automatically determine when a
GPS signal is restored and provide
a heading.

Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly
when the propulsion system is
started to indicate they are working.
When one of the warning lights
comes on and stays on while
driving, or when one of the gauges
shows there may be a problem,
check the section that explains what
to do. Waiting to do repairs can be
costly and even dangerous.
Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster displays a
preview of information that includes
electric range, charging, odometer,
and battery status. This happens
upon entry when the driver door is
opened, before starting the vehicle.
This preview will dismiss after
starting the vehicle or soon after
closing the driver door.

Inefficient Driving/Aggressive
Braking
.Classic layout: The gauge and
leaf turn yellow.
. Modern layout: When driving
inefficiently, the ball turns yellow
and moves above the center of
the gauge. When braking
aggressively, the ball turns
yellow and moves below the
center of the gauge.
. Enhanced layout: The outer ring
of the speedometer turns yellow.
Power Indicator Gauge
The power indicator gauge is on the
right side of the display in the
Enhanced layout.
This gauge displays the
instantaneous charge and discharge
power flowing either into or out of
the high voltage battery. Maximum
discharge power is available when
the high voltage battery is fully
charged. During normal operation, a
slight reduction in discharge power
may occur as the high voltage
battery state of charge decreases.
The power indicator gauge value
shows the instantaneous power
used by the battery.
Regenerative Braking
When regenerative braking is active,
the regen battery icon with arrows
appears green. The power indicator
gauge value shows the amount of
instantaneous power being
regenerated.
Regenerative Power Limited
Regenerative power may be limited
when the high voltage battery is
near full charge or cold. The regen
battery icon will appear gray when limited, and a horizontal bar may
display on the gauge, at the level of
the vehicle’
s maximum regenerative
braking power.
Seat Belt Reminders
Driver Seat Belt Reminder
Light
There is a driver seat belt reminder
light on the instrument cluster.
When the vehicle is started, this
light flashes and a chime may come
on to remind the driver to fasten
their seat belt. Then the light stays
on solid until the belt is buckled.
This cycle may continue several
times if the driver remains or
becomes unbuckled while the
vehicle is moving.
