Efficiency Leaves
Efficiency leaves indicate short term driving
efficiency measured over the last few
minutes. The more leaves and vines that
appear on the display, the better your fuel
economy. Leaves and vines will
occasionally appear and disappear to
indicate a change in your driving efficiency.
Fuel History
From left to right this view includes an
instantaneous fuel economy gauge,
historical fuel economy data and average
fuel economy. The historical data
represents an average over time intervals
of either 1, 2 or 6 minutes, with the leftmost
interval being the most recent. Shown at
the bottom of the view is the total time
duration for the 5 intervals. You can select
total duration in the options menu.
Intervals shown in grey color are from the
previous drive. The blue horizontal line
represents the average fuel economy value
shown to the right.
Note:
Hold OK to reset fuel history and
average fuel economy.
Coach
This view provides a comparison of your
recent acceleration, braking and cruising
behavior, then recommends the most
efficient use of energy under present
conditions. The horizontal bars fill from left
to right with best behavior and appear blue
when at least half full. When the bars are
less than half full, the color is amber,
suggesting that you need a change in your
driving behavior to achieve better energy
efficiency.
Note: Fuel Economy will be impacted by
your use of brakes, accelerator and
accessories, as well as environmental
conditions such as hills and weather. Note:
Fuel economy is not always a
measure of appropriate driving behavior. For
example, when driving uphill and
maintaining an appropriate speed, your
instant fuel economy may not be good
(losing leaves) but the Coach may show a
blue bar for Acceleration and Cruising.
Common Displays
Both Average fuel economy and an
instantaneous fuel economy gauge are
included in Engage, Empower, MyView (if
selected) and Fuel Economy (shown in
Hybrid Mode) on the left information
display. They are also included in Fuel
History on the right information display.
Average Fuel Economy
Average Fuel Economy is continuously
averaged since the last reset. You can reset
your average fuel economy by pressing and
holding the
OK button on the
corresponding steering wheel controls. For
Energi vehicles both Hybrid and Plug-in
Power mode operation will be included in
the calculation.
Note: Average fuel economy cannot be
reset in MyView.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy
If your instantaneous fuel economy is
greater than the maximum value
displayed, a + sign will be shown next to
the maximum scale number. When your
vehicle is operating on battery power only,
EV will display and the gauge fill will show
in blue.

FUSE SPECIFICATION CHART
Pre-Fuse Box
Your vehicle has a pre-fuse box attached
to the power distribution box. There is a
second pre-fuse box attached to the
12-volt battery terminal in the rear of your
vehicle. They contain high-current fuses.
If you need to replace one of these fuses,
see an authorized dealer.
Power Distribution Box
WARNINGS
Always disconnect the battery before
servicing high current fuses. WARNINGS
To reduce risk of electrical shock,
always replace the cover to the
power distribution box before
reconnecting the battery or refilling fluid
reservoirs. The power distribution box is located in
the engine compartment. It has
high-current fuses that protect your
vehicle's main electrical systems from
overloads.
If you disconnect and reconnect the
battery, you will need to reset some
features. See Changing the 12V Battery
(page 233).
Lift the release lever at the rear of the cover
to remove it. 211

Low Engine Use (If Equipped)
The low engine use mode is equipped on
Energi models only. The low engine use
mode keeps the engine oil quality in good
condition when you drive your vehicle with
limited engine use. If your vehicle is in low
engine use mode when you start the
vehicle, a message appears in the
information display. When your vehicle is
in low engine use mode, your vehicle runs
the engine as necessary.
Selecting EV Now mode when your vehicle
is in the low engine use mode suspends
the low engine use mode for as long as you
continue driving your vehicle. The low
engine use mode resumes the next time
you start your vehicle.
Changing the engine oil and resetting the
oil life monitoring system suspends the low
engine use mode.
Operating in Cold Climates and
Short Driving Cycles
Some gasoline engines may experience a
buildup of moisture in the engine oil if
repeatedly operated in cold weather and
short driving cycles that do not fully warm
the engine.
When you see a thick milky substance
under the oil cap, this indicates moisture
is present.
This condition can be more prevalent in
gas electric hybrid vehicles that run the gas
engine for very short driving cycles.
To prevent engine damage under these
conditions customers should follow these
steps:
• Drive your vehicle at full engine
temperature for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Drive your vehicle at highway speeds.
• Drive your vehicle with the defroster
(hybrid vehicles) at full. We recommend frequent oil changes.
Follow severe duty cycle in the
maintenance guide. This helps remove the
moisture contaminated oil from the engine.
Cold Weather Operation
To determine if the shortened oil change
interval or warming of the engine is
sufficient, clean and check the oil fill cap
on a regular basis. This will confirm that
the thick milky substance is not returning.
When extreme cold weather and sub-zero
conditions exist, fuel may be found in the
engine oil. This is caused by the engine not
reaching its full engine temperature.
In this situation, carry out the above steps
to prevent engine damage.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK WARNINGS
To reduce the risk of personal injury,
make sure the engine is cool before
unscrewing the coolant pressure
relief cap. The cooling system is under
pressure. Steam and hot liquid can come
out forcefully when you loosen the cap
slightly. Do not put coolant in the windshield
washer fluid reservoir. If sprayed on
the windshield, coolant could make
it difficult to see through the windshield. To reduce the risk of personal injury,
make sure the engine is cool before
unscrewing the coolant pressure
relief cap. The cooling system is under
pressure. Steam and hot liquid can come
out forcefully when you loosen the cap
slightly. Do not add coolant further than the
MAX mark.
Your vehicle has two separate cooling
systems. One for cooling the engine and a
separate system for cooling the inverter
system controller that is specific to the
hybrid operating system. The two systems
operate similarly, with the inverter system
controller cooling system generally
operating at a lower temperature and
pressure.
When the engine is cold, check the
concentration and level of the coolant at
the intervals listed in the scheduled
maintenance information. See Scheduled
Maintenance
(page 441). Note:
Make sure that the coolant level is
between the
MIN and MAX marks on the
coolant reservoir.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may extend beyond the
MAX mark.
Maintain coolant concentration within
48% to 50%, which equates to a freeze
point between -30°F (-34°C) and -34°F
(-37°C). Coolant concentration should be
checked using a refractometer. We do not
recommend the use of hydrometers or
coolant test strips for measuring coolant
concentration.
Adding Coolant WARNING
Never remove the coolant reservoir
cap when the engine is running or
hot.
Note:
Automotive fluids are not
interchangeable. Do not use coolant or
windshield washer fluid outside of its
specified function and vehicle location.
Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling
system sealants, or non-specified additives
as they can cause damage to the engine
cooling or heating systems. Resulting
component damage may not be covered by
the vehicle Warranty.
It is very important to use prediluted
coolant approved to the correct
specification in order to avoid plugging the
small passageways in the engine cooling
system. See
Capacities and
Specifications (page 286). Do not mix
different colors or types of coolant in your
vehicle. Mixing of engine coolants or using
an incorrect coolant may harm the engine
or cooling system components and may
not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
