WASHER PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: If you operate your

(5°C), use washer fluid with antifreeze
protection. Failure to use washer fluid
with antifreeze protection in cold
weather could result in impaired
windshield vision and increase the risk
of injury or accident.
Do not operate the washers when the
washer reservoir is empty. This could cause
the washer pump to overheat.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean.
The rain sensor is very sensitive and the
wipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects
hit the windshield.

HEADLAMPS –
TROUBLESHOOTING
HEADLAMPS – FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is there condensation in the
headlamps?Headlamps have vents to
accommodate normal changes in air
pressure. Condensation can be a
natural by-product of this design.
When moist air enters the lamp
assembly through the vents, there is a
possibility that condensation can
occur when the temperature is cold.
When normal condensation occurs, a
fine mist can form on the interior of the
lens. The fine mist eventually clears
and exits through the vents during
normal operation.
How much condensation is
acceptable? The presence of a fine mist, for
example no streaks, drip marks or
large droplets. A fine mist covers less
than 50% of the lens.
How long may it take for the
acceptable condensation to be
cleared? Clearing time may take as long as 48
hours under dry weather conditions.
How much condensation is
unacceptable? A water puddle inside the lamp.
Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.
What should I do if unacceptable
condensation is present? Have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. Why do my headlamps turn off when I
have them switched on when I switch
my vehicle off?
The battery saver turns the headlamps
off after a short period of time after
you switch your vehicle off.AUTOLAMPS

WHAT IS ELECTRIC
EFFICIENCY - PLUG-IN HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV)
This screen shows your average driving
distance per kilowatt-hour of electricity
used on your plug-in hybrid vehicle. The
value is calculated only when your
available electric range is being used and
the gasoline engine is off.
Distance per full charge is also shown. This
is an estimate of the electric range you
would have if you plugged in and fully
charged your vehicle right now. The higher
your electric efficiency, the higher your
distance per full charge.
Your electric efficiency is affected by your
driving style and route, climate control use,
outside temperature and other factors.
Best efficiency is achieved with mild to
moderate acceleration and braking,
moderate speeds and low climate control
usage.
Note:Electric efficiency is a selectable
screen. See Customizing the Instrument
Cluster Display (page 124).
WHAT IS BRAKE COACH -
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
(HEV)/PLUG-IN HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV)
The brake coach appears after your vehicle
has come to a stop. It coaches you to brake
in a manner that 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 re
covered. You can switch brake
coach on or off in the settings menu. See
Instrument Cluster Display Main Menu
(page 124).
WHAT IS THE TRIP SUMMARY
- HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
(HEV)/PLUG-IN HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV)
The trip summary displays upon shutting
off your vehicle. The values are cumulative
since you last started your vehicle.
The information shown is the same as the
This Trip screen. See Trip Data (page 129).
VEHICLE CHARGING STATUS
- PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE (PHEV)
The vehicle charge status displays when
you switch off your vehicle and when you
switch on your vehicle when plugged in.
Charging status includes the charge start
or charge end time as appropriate. You can
modify your charge settings though the
touchscreen. See SYNC™ 3 (page 431).
