CRASH SENSORS AND AIRBAG INDICATOR
WARNING:Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of
your vehicle (including frame, bumper, front end body structure
and tow hooks) may affect the performance of the airbag system,
increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify the front end of your
vehicle.
Your vehicle has a collection of crash and occupant sensors which
provide information to the restraints control module which deploys
(activates) the front safety belt pretensioners, driver airbag, passenger
airbag, seat mounted side airbags, and the Safety Canopy. Based on the
type of accident (frontal impact, side impact or rollover) the restraints
control module will deploy the appropriate safety devices.
The restraints control module also monitors the readiness of the above
safety devices plus the crash and occupant sensors. The readiness of the
safety system is indicated by a warning indicator light in the instrument
cluster or by a backup tone if the warning light is not working. See the
Instrument Clusterchapter. Routine maintenance of the airbag is not
required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following:
•The readiness light will either flash or stay lit.
•The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after the
ignition is turned on.
•A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat
periodically until the problem or light are repaired.
If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system serviced at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless
serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a crash.

Obstacle Detection
When closing:The system will stop when it detects an obstacle and two
short chimes will sound. Once the obstacle is removed the liftgate can be
closed under power.
Note:Entering the vehicle while the liftgate is closing can cause the
vehicle to bounce and activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, allow
the power liftgate to fully close before entering the vehicle. Before
driving off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate or door ajar
message or warning indicator. Driving off without first checking for the
liftgate or door ajar message or warning indicator could result in the
liftgate being left open, unintentionally, while you are driving.
When opening:The system will stop and two short chimes will sound
when it detects an obstacle. Remove the obstacle to operate the liftgate.

Common Displays
Note:Battery gauge information can be individually selected on or off
through Battery Display in the Options sub-menu. From any main display
a right arrow press on the steering wheel controls will take you to the
Options sub-menu.
Note:
For Energi vehicles there are two versions of the battery gauge.
When the vehicle is in Hybrid Mode the information is shown with a simple
battery graphic. When in Plug-in Power Mode an enhanced battery graphic
is provided and available electric range is added to the display. .
Battery Gauge:The high voltage battery gauge appears on the right
side of the information display screen. This provides Charge Fill (State of
Charge), Charge Assist and Regen Display.
•Charge Fill - The fill level, or State of Charge indicates the amount of
energy stored in the high voltage battery as a percent of total energy
capacity. The level will increase or decrease as the battery charges
and discharges during normal operation, but the hybrid system will
attempt to control the level to approximately the middle of the gauge
under most driving conditions.
•Charge Fill (Energi Plug-in Power Mode) - The fill level indicates the
amount of energy stored in the high voltage battery which is available
for Plug-in Power Mode. A full fill represents the total amount of
energy you can get from an external charge (plugging your vehicle in).
When the fill reaches empty your vehicle will automatically enter
Hybrid Mode
•Electric Range (Energi Plug-in Power Mode) - The electric range
estimate is based on the amount of battery energy currently available
in the high voltage battery and your typical energy usage while
driving. This includes your drive habits as well as your use of
accessories such as Climate Control. The battery energy refers
to the energy gained from charging the battery while plugged in.
•
Charge Assist - The up and down arrows provide information about the
energy going into and out of the high voltage battery. The up arrow
above the battery indicates battery charging such as from regenerative
braking. The down arrow below the battery indicates battery discharging
to provide power for propulsion or vehicle accessories
Note:The Charge Fill is always shown for Plug-in Power Mode, even if
Charge Fill is not selected under Battery Display in the Options sub-menu.
•Regen Display-Acircular arrow symbol appears in the center of
the Battery Gauge when energy is being recaptured through the
regenerative braking system.

Fuel Gauge:The fuel gauge will indicate approximately how much fuel
is left in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge may vary slightly when your
vehicle is moving or on a gradient. The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump
symbol indicates on which side of the vehicle the fuel filler door is
located.
Brake Coach Display:The Brake Coach appears after the vehicle has
come to a stop. It coaches you to brake in a manner which maximizes
the amount of energy returned through the regenerative braking system.
The percent displayed is an indication of the regenerative braking
efficiency with 100% representing the maximum amount of energy
recovery.
Trip Summary and Lifetime Summary:These will be displayed upon
shutting off the vehicle. Trip Summary will appear first, then Lifetime
Summary will be displayed. You can toggle between these displays using
the up and down arrow keys on the left hand steering wheel controls.
Trip Summary data is from the last power cycle, while Lifetime Summary
data is cumulative from the last Lifetime Summary reset done through
the Settings menu in the message center.
Trip Summary:
•Distance - The total distance travelled, distance travelled on battery
power only (EV distance) and regen distance are displayed. Regen
distance is the estimated range gained from energy recaptured
through regenerative braking.
•Energy Use - The average fuel economy and total fuel used are
displayed. In addition for Energi, the total electrical energy used
while in Plug-in Power Mode is displayed in kilowatt hours (kWh).
Trip Summary average fuel economy will be shown in blue if better
than your lifetime average fuel economy.
•Brake Score - The average percentage of braking energy recaptured
and returned to the high voltage battery through regenerative braking.
The brake score will be shown in blue if greater than (better than) the
lifetime brake score.
Lifetime Summary:
•Distance - The distance travelled on battery power only (EV distance)
and regen distance are displayed. Regen distance is the estimated
range gained from energy recaptured through regenerative braking.
•Energy Use - Average fuel economy.
•Brake Score - The average percentage of braking energy recaptured
and returned to the high voltage battery through regenerative braking.

WARNING LAMPS AND INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and indicators will alert you to a vehicle
condition that may become serious. Some lamps will illuminate when you
start your vehicle to make sure they work. If any lamps remain on after
starting your vehicle, refer to the respective system warning lamp for
further information.
Note:Some warning indicators appear in the information display and
function the same as a warning lamp but do not display when you start
your vehicle.
Anti-Lock Braking System
If it illuminates when you are driving, this indicates a
malfunction. You will continue to have the normal braking
system (without ABS) unless the brake warning lamp is also
illuminated. Have the system checked by your authorized dealer.
Battery
If it illuminates while driving, it indicates a malfunction. Switch
off all unnecessary electrical equipment and have the system
checked by your authorized dealer
Brake System
It will illuminate when the parking brake is engaged and the
ignition is on.
If it illuminates when you are driving, check that the parking brake is not
engaged. If the parking brake is not engaged, this indicates low brake
fluid level or a brake system malfunction. Have the system checked
immediately by your authorized dealer.
WARNING:Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning
light on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking
performance may occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle.
Have the vehicle checked by your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Driving extended distances with the parking brake engaged can cause
brake failure and the risk of personal injury.
