Unique content available in MyView:
•Vehicle Range (Energi vehicles only) –Indicates the estimated distance yourvehicle will travel with the energycurrently onboard. Separately displaysrange available in Hybrid Mode fueledby gasoline, electric range available inPlug-in Power Mode, and total range.Gasoline range and electric range arealso shown on the bottom of the rightinformation display. Changes in drivingpattern and climate control use willcause the values to vary.
•Accessory Power— Indicates electricalpower demands from your vehicle’saccessory systems. Accessories usepower but do not contribute topropelling your vehicle. The gaugeseparately displays power demand inkilowatts (kW) for climate and otheraccessories. Climate includes thepower being used by high voltageclimate control components such asthe electric A/C compressor and theelectric heater (Energi vehicles only).Other includes all power being used bythe low voltage accessories (cabinfans, headlights, heated seats, etc.).
•Coolant Temp – Indicates enginecoolant temperature. At normaloperating temperature, the levelindicator will be white and will be in thenormal range (between H and C). If theengine coolant temperature exceedsthe normal range, the level indicatorwill change to red to indicate that theengine is overheating. Stop your vehicleas soon as safely possible, turn yourvehicle off and let the engine cool.
•Tach rpm x 1000 — When the gasolineengine is running, the tachometergauge displays the engine speed inrevolutions per minute (RPM). Whenyour vehicle is operating on batterypower only with the engine off, EVdisplays and the tachometer is greyedout.
Note:The trip data, and average fueleconomy cannot be reset in MyView.
Miles (or km)/Full Charge (Energi only)
In Hybrid Mode the display changes to FuelEconomy. Miles or Kilometers per FullCharge is an estimate of your EV Rangewith a fully charged battery.
This display is only available in Plug-inPower Mode.
Average Miles or Kilometers per FullCharge is provided along with anInstantaneous gauge. This information isbased on your energy usage while driving.Energy usage is affected by your drivingstyle and route, climate control use,outside temperature and other factors. Formore information refer to Next Full Charge.See Gauges (page 84).
When you select EV Now operation thisscreen will automatically be shown. Youcan press OK to enable the engine whenviewing this screen during EV Nowoperation. See Plug-In Hybrid VehicleOperation (page 137).

Efficiency Leaves
Efficiency leaves indicate short term drivingefficiency measured over the last fewminutes. The more leaves and vines thatappear on the display, the better your fueleconomy. Leaves and vines willoccasionally appear and disappear toindicate a change in your driving efficiency.
Fuel History
From left to right this view includes aninstantaneous fuel economy gauge,historical fuel economy data and averagefuel economy. The historical datarepresents an average over time intervalsof either 1, 2 or 6 minutes, with the leftmostinterval being the most recent. Shown atthe bottom of the view is the total timeduration for the 5 intervals. You can selecttotal duration in the options menu.Intervals shown in grey color are from theprevious drive. The blue horizontal linerepresents the average fuel economy valueshown to the right.
Note:Hold OK to reset fuel history andaverage fuel economy.
Coach
This view provides a comparison of yourrecent acceleration, braking and cruisingbehavior, then recommends the mostefficient use of energy under presentconditions. The horizontal bars fill from leftto right with best behavior and appear bluewhen at least half full. When the bars areless than half full, the color is amber,suggesting that you need a change in yourdriving behavior to achieve better energyefficiency.
Note:Fuel Economy will be impacted byyour use of brakes, accelerator andaccessories, as well as environmentalconditions such as hills and weather.
Note:Fuel economy is not always ameasure of appropriate driving behavior. Forexample, when driving uphill andmaintaining an appropriate speed, yourinstant fuel economy may not be good(losing leaves) but the Coach may show ablue bar for Acceleration and Cruising.
Common Displays
Both Average fuel economy and aninstantaneous fuel economy gauge areincluded in Engage, Empower, MyView (ifselected) and Fuel Economy (shown inHybrid Mode) on the left informationdisplay. They are also included in FuelHistory on the right information display.
Average Fuel Economy
Average Fuel Economy is continuouslyaveraged since the last reset. You can resetyour average fuel economy by pressing andholding the OK button on thecorresponding steering wheel controls. ForEnergi vehicles both Hybrid and Plug-inPower mode operation will be included inthe calculation.
Note:Average fuel economy cannot bereset in MyView.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy
If your instantaneous fuel economy isgreater than the maximum valuedisplayed, a + sign will be shown next tothe maximum scale number. When yourvehicle is operating on battery power only,EV will display and the gauge fill will showin blue.

HomeLink Wireless ControlSystem
WARNINGS
Make sure that the garage door andsecurity device are free fromobstruction when you areprogramming. Do not program the systemwith the vehicle in the garage.
Do not use the system with anygarage door opener that does nothave the safety stop and reversefeature as required by U.S. Federal SafetyStandards (this includes any garage dooropener manufactured before April 1, 1982).A garage door opener which cannot detectan object, signaling the door to stop andreverse, does not meet current federalsafety standards. Using a garage dooropener without these features increasesthe risk of serious injury or death.
Note:Make sure you keep the originalremote control transmitter for use in othervehicles as well as for future systemprogramming.
Note:We recommend that upon the saleor lease termination of your vehicle, youerase the programmed function buttons forsecurity reasons. See Erasing the FunctionButton Codes.
Note:You can program a maximum ofthree devices. To change or replace any ofthe three devices after it has been initiallyprogrammed, you must first erase thecurrent settings. See Erasing the FunctionButton Codes.
The universal garage door opener replacesthe common hand-held garage dooropener with a three-button transmitterthat is integrated into the driver’s sun visor.
The system includes two primary features,a garage door opener and a platform forremote activation of devices within thehome. As well as being programmed forgarage doors, the system transmitter canbe programmed to operate entry gateoperators, security systems, entry doorlocks and home or office lighting.
Additional system information can befound online at www.homelink.com,www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex orby calling the toll-free help line on1-800-355-3515.
In-Vehicle Programming
This process is to program your hand-heldtransmitter and your in-vehicle HomeLinkbutton.
Note:The programming steps belowassume you will be programming HomeLinkthat was not previously programmed.
Note:Put a new battery in the hand-heldtransmitter. This will ensure quicker trainingand accurate transmission of theradio-frequency signal.

Locations
Power points may be in the followinglocations:
•On the front of the center console.
•Inside the center console.
•Inside the luggage compartment.
110 Volt AC Power Point (If Equipped)
WARNING
Do not keep electrical devicesplugged in the power point wheneverthe device is not in use. Do not useany extension cord with the 110 volt ACpower point, since it will defeat the safetyprotection design. Doing so may cause thepower point to overload due to poweringmultiple devices that can reach beyondthe 150 watt load limit and could result infire or serious injury.
Note:The power point will turn off whenthe ignition is switched off or the batteryvoltage drops below 11 volts.
Use the power point for powering electricdevices that require up to 150 watts. It ison the rear of the center console.
