Closing the Liftgate
A handle is located inside the liftgate tohelp with closing.
POWER LIFTGATE (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
It is extremely dangerous to ride in acargo area, inside or outside of avehicle. In a crash, people riding inthese areas are more likely to be seriouslyinjured or killed. Do not allow people to ridein any area of your vehicle that is notequipped with seats and seatbelts. Makesure everyone in your vehicle is in a seatand properly using a seatbelt. Failure tofollow this warning could result in seriouspersonal injury or death.
Make sure to close and latch theliftgate to prevent drawing exhaustfumes into your vehicle. This will alsoprevent passengers and cargo from fallingout. If you must drive with the liftgate open,keep the vents or windows open so outsideair comes into your vehicle. Failure tofollow this warning could result in seriouspersonal injury.
Keep keys out of reach of children.Do not allow children to operate orplay near an open or moving powerliftgate. You should supervise theoperation of the power liftgate at all times.
Note:Make sure that you close the liftgatebefore operating or moving your vehicle,especially in an enclosure, like a garage ora parking structure. This could damage theliftgate and its components.
Note: Do not hang anything, for examplea bike rack, from the glass or liftgate. Thiscould damage the liftgate and itscomponents.
The liftgate only operates with thetransmission in park (P).
If there is a problem with the open or closerequest, a tone will sound for one of thefollowing reasons:
•The ignition is on and the transmissionis not in park (P).
•The battery voltage is below theminimum operating voltage.
•The liftgate is not fully closed and yourvehicle speed is at or above 3 mph(5 km/h).
If the liftgate starts to close after it hasfully opened, this indicates there may beexcessive weight on the liftgate or apossible gas strut failure. A repetitive tonesounds and the liftgate closes undercontrol. Remove any excessive weight fromthe liftgate. If the liftgate continues toclose after opening, have the systemchecked by an authorized dealer.
Opening and Closing the Liftgate
WARNING
Make sure all persons are clear of thepower liftgate area before using thepower liftgate control.
Note: Be careful when opening or closingthe liftgate in a garage or other enclosedarea to avoid damaging the liftgate.
Note: Do not leave the liftgate open whiledriving. This could damage the liftgate andits components.

Brake Coach Display:
The Brake Coach appears after the vehiclehas come to a stop. It coaches you to brakein a manner which maximizes the amountof energy returned through theregenerative braking system. The percentdisplayed is an indication of theregenerative braking efficiency with 100%representing the maximum amount ofenergy recovery.
This feature can be switched on or off inthe information displays settings menu.See General Information (page 93).
Trip Summary:
The Trip Summary displays upon shuttingoff your vehicle. The information iscumulative over the last trip. A new tripbegins each time you start your vehicle(when the Ready to Drive message comeson).
•Distance - Displays the total distancetraveled, distance traveled on batterypower only (EV distance) and Regendistance. Regen distance is theestimated range gained from energyrecaptured through regenerativebraking.
•Energy Use - Displays the average fueleconomy. In addition for Energi,displays the total electrical energy usedwhile in Plug-in Power Mode in kilowatthours (kWh).
•Brake Score - The percent displayed isan indication of the regenerativebraking efficiency for the trip.
Note:Corresponding trip efficiency leavesappear on the right information display uponshutting off your Hybrid vehicle. On Energivehicles the trip efficiency leaves are shownon the right information display when thevehicle operates in Hybrid Mode for theentire trip. For trips with Plug-in Power Modeoperation an estimate of your EV Range/FullCharge is provided along with a listing offactors and their contributions to thisestimate. See Next Full Charge under RightInformation Display in this chapter.

Vehicle Range
Vehicle range indicates the estimateddistance your vehicle will travel with theenergy currently onboard. The range isdisplayed at the bottom of the screen withgasoline range shown in white and electricrange (Energi only) shown in blue.
•Gasoline Range: Is the estimateddistance to empty based on the fuelremaining in the tank.
•Electric Range: Is the estimateddistance you can travel in Plug-InPower Mode with the engine off. Thisrange is based on a calculationdetermined by the amount of energystored in the high voltage battery as aresult of charging while plugged in andthe energy being used while driving.

The amount of energy being used whiledriving is affected by:
•Mild or aggressive acceleration orbraking.
•Your vehicle speed.
•Your use of accessories such as climatecontrol.
•The ambient temperature and otherweather conditions.
•City or highway driving.
•Road grades.
Note:It is normal for vehicle rangeestimates to vary due to changes in averageenergy usage. This is why you will typicallysee different range estimates each time youfill up your fuel tank or fully charge yourbattery.
Trip Efficiency Leaves
Trip Efficiency Leaves display uponshutting off your Hybrid vehicle. For Energivehicles the trip efficiency leaves aredisplayed only when the vehicle operatesin Hybrid for the entire trip. The number ofleaves represent the average for the lasttrip. A new trip begins each time you startyour vehicle (when the Ready to Drivemessage comes on). Corresponding TripSummary data displays on the leftinformation display.
Next Full Charge
The Next Full Charge display is shownupon shutting off your Energi vehiclewhenever your vehicle operates in Plug-inPower Mode for a portion of your trip.
Miles or kilometers per full charge
This is an estimate of the EV Range youwould see if you plugged in and fullycharged your vehicle right now. Theestimate is based on your energy usagewhile driving. Energy usage is affected byyour driving style and route, climate controluse, outside temperature and other factors.
Energy usage effects (+/-)
A green bar indicates a positive effect onyour EV range per full charge estimate. Anamber bar indicates a negative effect. Thebigger the bar the bigger the effect on yourestimate.
•Driving style/route – This includesenergy used to propel your vehiclebased on your driving style and route.Your driving style includes how fast youdrive and whether your accelerationand braking is mild or aggressive. Yourroute includes factors such as theamount of city or highway driving androad grades.
•Climate control use – This includesenergy used by your vehicle’s highvoltage climate control componentssuch as the electric A/C compressorand the electric heater.
•Outside temp./other – This includesenergy losses due to outsidetemperature and other conditionswhich reduce vehicle system efficiency.Energy used for low voltageaccessories such as cabin fans, heatedseats, headlights, etc. is also included.
