Intelligent Access (If Equipped)
The system uses a radio frequency signal to communicate with your
vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock when one of the following
conditions is met:
•You touch the inside of the front exterior door handle.
•You press the luggage compartment button.
•You press a button on the transmitter.
If excessive radio frequency interference is present in the area or if the
transmitter battery is low, it may be necessary to mechanically unlock
your door. You can use the mechanical key blade in your intelligent
access key to open the driver door in this situation. Refer toRemote
Controlin this chapter for more information on the location and use of
the mechanical key blade.
REMOTE CONTROL

vehicle and unlock or lock the
driver door from outside the vehicle.
The transmitter portion functions as
the remote control.
Note:Your vehicle’s keys came
with a security label that provides
important key cut information.

Power Liftgate (If Equipped)
WARNING:Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate
area before using the power liftgate control.
WARNING:Keep keys out of reach of children. Do not allow
children to play near an open or moving power liftgate.
Note:Cycling the ignition while the liftgate is power closing and is near
the latch may cause the liftgate to stop operation. Make sure that the
liftgate is closed before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in
an enclosure, like a garage or a parking structure. The liftgate or its
components could be damaged.
Opening and Closing the Power Liftgate
Note:The doors must be unlocked to operate the power liftgate.
Note:The liftgate movement direction can be stopped with a second
press of the instrument panel, or the control button on the liftgate, a
second double press of the transmitter button, or by using a kicking
motion with your foot for hands-free liftgates.
If the engine is running, the liftgate will only operate with the vehicle inP.
A chime sequence will sound as the liftgate begins to power close.
Another chime sequence indicates a problem with the close request,
caused by:
•the ignition is on and the transmission is not inP,or
•the battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage, or
•the vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h).
If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after an open request, four
short warning chimes indicate excessive load on the gate or a possible
strut failure. See your authorized dealer if you still have a fast chime
after the load is removed.
To open or close from the instrument panel:Press the
instrument panel button.
Note:The doors must be unlocked.
To open or close with the remote control:Press the remote
control button twice within three seconds.

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.
