Vehicle Charge Indicators
Instrument Cluster High Voltage Battery Gauge
There is a battery gauge indicator located on the instru-
ment cluster. The battery gauge will display, with pro-
gressive color indication, the current state of charge for
the high voltage battery; with the percentage value
located at the bottom of the gauge. Charge Low And Limited Power Messages
The state of charge is monitored during normal opera-
tion. If the state of charge reaches certain thresholds the
following messages will also be displayed on the cluster:

•charge low — displayed at 17% (warning displayed for
six seconds).
• charge low — displayed at 11% (Displayed for six
seconds).
• charge low limited power mode — turtle displayed at
5% and remains on. •
charge low limited power mode — turtle flashes at 0%
until condition changes.
NOTE: The limited power mode can also be activated if
the high voltage battery temperature is too high or too
low.

•Cut off battery power to the motor.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or
until the hazard light button is pressed. The hazard
lights can be deactivated by pressing the hazard light
button.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as
the battery has power.
• Unlock the power door locks.
Enhanced Accident Response System Reset
Procedure
After an event occurs requiring activation of the En-
hanced Accident Response System, when the system is
active, a “Service EV System” message” will be displayed
on the instrument cluster. The vehicle is not drivable in
this state and must be towed to an authorized dealer
immediately to be inspected and have the Enhanced
Accident Response System reset.
Air Bag Warning Light
The air bags must be ready to inflate for your protection
in a collision. The Occupant Restraint Control-
ler (ORC) monitors the internal circuits and
interconnecting wiring associated with air bag
system electrical components.
The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of
the air bag system whenever the ignition switch is in the
AVV/START or MAR position. If the ignition switch is in
the STOP position the air bag system is not on and the air
bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power supply system that
may deploy the air bags even if the battery loses power or
it becomes disconnected prior to deployment.
The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the
instrument panel for approximately four to eight seconds
for a self-check when the ignition switch is first turned to

High Beams
With the low beams activated, push the multi-
function lever towards the instrument panel to
turn on the high beams. Pull the multifunction lever
toward the steering wheel to turn off the high beams.
Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
partially pulling the multifunction lever toward the steer-
ing wheel. This will cause the high beam headlights to
turn on until the lever is released.
Parking Lights
To turn on the parking lights, remove the key
or turn the ignition to OFF/LOCK position and
turn on the headlights.
Daytime Running Lights
To activate the Daytime Running Lights (DRL), rotate the
end of the multifunction lever to the Osymbol.
NOTE: The low beams and side/taillights will not be on
with DRL.
If allowed by law in the country in which the vehicle was
purchased the DRL function can be turned on or off using
the display menus. Refer to “UConnect settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further in-
formation.
Turn Signals
Push the multifunction lever upward to signal a right
turn or downward to signal a left turn. The correspond-
ing indicator in the instrument cluster will blink to
indicate the operation of the turn signal.

Audible And Visual Signals Supplied By The Rear Park Assist System
SIGNALMEANING INDICATION
Obstacle Distance An obstacle is present within the sensors’
field of view Audible signal
(dashboard loudspeaker)
• Sound pulses emitted at a rate that in-
creases as the distance decreases.
• Emits continuous tone at 12 in (30 cm).
• Adjustable volume level. (Refer to “Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)”
in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel”
for further information).
Failure Sensor or System failures Visual Signal(instrument panel)
• Icon appears on display.
• Message is displayed on the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) (where
provided).
While audible signals are emitted, the audio system is not
muted.
126 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
Page 129 of 362

The audible signal is turned off immediately if the
distance increases. The tone cycle remains constant if the
distance measured by the inner sensors is constant. If this
condition occurs for the external sensors, the signal is
turned off after 3 seconds (stopping warnings during
maneuvers parallel to walls).
Failure Indications
A malfunction of the Rear Park Assist sensors or system
is indicated, during REVERSE gear engagement, by the
instrument panel warning icon and message displayed
on the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
display.The warning icon is illuminated and a message
is displayed on the EVIC display (if equipped).
Refer toElectronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information. The sensors and wiring are tested continuously when the
ignition is in the ON/RUN position. Failures are indi-
cated immediately if they occur when the system is ON.
Even if the system is able to identify that a specific sensor
is in failure condition, the EVIC shall indicate that the
Rear Park Assist system is unavailable, without reference
to the sensor in failure condition. If even a single sensor
fails, the entire system must be disabled. The system is
turned off automatically.
Cleaning The Rear Park Assist System
Clean the Rear Park Assist sensors with water, car wash
soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. In
washing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the va-
por jet/high pressure washing nozzles at least 4 in (10
cm) from the sensors. Do not scratch or poke the sensors.
Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.

Park Assist System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
•Ensure that the outer surface and the underside of the
rear bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt
or other obstruction to keep the Rear Park Assist
system operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could
affect the performance of Rear Park Assist.
• Clean the Rear Park Assist sensors regularly, taking
care not to scratch or damage them. The sensors must
not be covered with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or
debris. Failure to do so can result in the system not
working properly. The Rear Park Assist system might
not detect an obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an obstacle is
behind the fascia/bumper. •
Objects such as bicycle carriers, etc., must not be
placed within 12 in (30 cm) from the rear fascia/
bumper while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can
result in the system misinterpreting a close object as a
sensor problem, causing a failure indication to be
displayed in the instrument cluster.
CAUTION!
• Rear Park Assist is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle, including small
obstacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily de-
tected or not detected at all. Obstacles located
above or below the sensors will not be detected
when they are in close proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when using
Rear Park Assist in order to be able to stop in time
when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended
that the driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using Rear Park Assist.

WARNING!
•Drivers must be careful when backing up even
when using the Rear Park Assist system. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, look behind
you, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. You are responsible for safety and
must continue to pay attention to your surround-
ings. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or
death.
• Before using the Rear Park Assist System, it is
strongly recommended that the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly is disconnected from the ve-
hicle when the vehicle is not used for towing.
Failure to do so can result in injury or damage to
vehicles or obstacles because the hitch ball will be
much closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
when the warning display turns on the single
flashing arc and sounds the continuous tone. Also,
the sensors could detect the ball mount and hitch
ball assembly, depending on its size and shape,
giving a false indication that an obstacle is behind
the vehicle.
POWER SUNROOF — IF EQUIPPED
The power sunroof roof switch is located in the overhead
console.
