SILENT KEY START
When you switch the ignition on, your engine may
not sound like it started because your hybrid-electric
vehicle includes silent key start. This fuel-saving
feature allows your vehicle to be ready to drive
without requiring your gas engine to run. Instead of
listening for a traditional gasoline-powered engine
sound, look for the ‘ready to drive’ indicator light

in your information display. When this light comes on,
your vehicle started successfully and is ready to drive.
SMART POWER-SPLIT ARCHITECTURE
City Driving: In stop and go driving and at low speeds, the electric
motor provides the necessary power. The gas engine kicks in only
to recharge the battery or when you need more power.
Accelerating: Step on the accelerator pedal and get all the
responsiveness of a traditional gasoline engine.
Cruising or Highway Driving: Due to greater power demands
at highway speeds, your vehicle uses the gasoline engine
more frequently than when driving at city traffic speeds.
This is normal.
Braking: For added efficiency, the energy normally created by
friction during braking recycles to the battery.
Stopped: To save energy, the gasoline engine shuts off
and the electric motor stops drawing current.
ECO SELECT
This feature saves vehicle energy by slowing down acceleration
compared to standard cruise control. For example, your vehicle
may temporarily lose speed when going uphill. You can switch this
feature on and off through the Driver Assist section of the Settings
menu in the information display. To activate ECO Select , press the
button and a graphic shows on your information display.
See the Cruise Control chapter in your Owner’s Manual for
more information.

SMARTGAUGE® WITH ECOGUIDE
Delivers specific information about various systems on your vehicle using menus that build on previous data. Use your left-hand, 5-way
steering controls to scroll through your menu choices:
Vehicle Range: Estimates the distance your vehicle can travel on
the fuel remaining in the tank. Changes in your driving pattern may
cause the value to vary.
Engage: Adds gas and electric power-split information.
Empower: Adds an engine on and off threshold to the power
demand gauge from Enlighten. See how much power you request
based on how far you press the accelerator pedal. MyView: Lets you customize your menu options, allowing you
to select key information and combine it into one screen.
EcoGuide: Displays leaf graphics within the right-hand cluster,
showing you when you’re driving efficiently. More leaves equal
better driving habits!
The Brake Coach appears in the display after the vehicle has come to a stop, and coaches you to
maximize the amount of energy that can be returned through the regenerative braking system.
