WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and
injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend

Max A/C (If Equipped)
Press for maximum cooling. The left-hand
and right-hand settings set to LO,
recirculated air flows through the
instrument panel vents, air conditioning
turns on and the fan adjusts to the highest
speed.
Heated Windshield
(If Equipped)
Press to clear the heated windshield of thin
ice and fog.
Recirculated Air
Press to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. The air currently in the
passenger compartment recirculates. This
may reduce the time needed to cool the
interior (when used with A/C) and reduce
unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.
Note: Recirculated air may turn off (or
prevent you from switching on) in all air flow
modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk
of fogging. Recirculation may also turn on
and off in various air distribution control
combinations during hot weather in order
to improve cooling efficiency.
Power
Press to switch the system on and off.
When the system is off, it prevents outside
air from entering the vehicle.
Right-hand Temperature Control
Adjusts the temperature setting on the
right-hand side.
Climate Controlled Seats

Mirrors (page 126).
Defrost
Press to distribute air through the
windshield air vents and de-mister. Air
distribution to the instrument panel and
footwell vents turns off. You can also use
this setting to defog and clear the
windshield of a thin covering of ice.
Max Defrost
Press to switch on defrost. The left-hand
and right-hand settings set to HI, air flows
through the windshield vents, and the fan
adjusts to the highest speed. You can also
use this setting to defog and clear the
windshield of a thin covering of ice. The
heated rear window also turns on when
you select maximum defrost.
Note: To prevent window fogging, you
cannot select recirculated air when
maximum defrost is on.

INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note:
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
Note: To improve the time to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows open until you feel
cold air through the air vents.
Automatic Climate Control
Note: Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is
not necessary.
Note: The system adjusts to heat or cool
the interior to the temperature you select
as quickly as possible.
Note: For the system to function efficiently,
the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.
Note: If you select
AUTO during cold
outside temperatures, the system directs
air flow to the windshield and side window
vents. In addition, the fan may run at a
slower speed until the engine warms up.

HYBRID VEHICLE OPERATION
This hybrid vehicle combines electric and
gasoline propulsion to provide
breakthrough performance and improved
efficiency.
Familiarizing yourself with these unique
characteristics will provide an optimal
driving experience from your new vehicle.
Note:
You may notice higher engine speeds
upon start-up. This temporary condition is
normal and necessary to heat up the cabin
and minimize emissions.
Starting: When you start your vehicle, a
green ready indicator light will
appear in the lower right portion
of the instrument cluster and a ready to
drive message will appear in the middle of
the left cluster screen, letting you know
that your vehicle is ready for driving.
The engine may not start because this
vehicle is equipped with silent key start.
This fuel saving feature allows your vehicle
to be ready –to–drive without requiring the
gas engine to be running. This indicator will
remain on while your vehicle is on, whether
the engine is running or not to indicate your
vehicle is capable of movement (using its
electric motor, engine, or both). Typically,
the engine will not start unless the vehicle
is cold, a climate control change is
requested, or the accelerator is pressed.
Driving:
The gas engine automatically starts and
stops to provide power when needed and
to save fuel when not needed. While
coasting at low speeds, coming to a stop,
or standing, the gas engine normally shuts
down and your vehicle operates in
electric-only mode. Conditions that may cause the engine to
start up or remain running include:
•
Considerable vehicle acceleration.
• Vehicle speed above 85 mph
(137 km/h). However, the maximum
speed for electric-only operation may
be lower while driving in hot
temperatures or on hilly terrain.
• Ascending a hill.
• Charge level of high voltage battery is
low.
• Very high or low outside temperature
(to provide system cooling or heating).
• Engine not warm enough to provide
passenger requested cabin
temperature.
Stopping:
The gas engine may shut off to conserve
fuel as you come to a stop. Restarting your
vehicle is not required. Simply step on the
accelerator when you are ready to drive.
Transmission Operation:
Due to the technologically advanced,
electronically-controlled continuously
variable transaxle, you will not feel shift
changes like those of a non-hybrid vehicle.
Note: Since engine speed is controlled by
the transmission, it may seem elevated at
times. This is normal hybrid operation and
helps deliver fuel efficiency and
performance.
Neutral:
We recommend that you do not idle the
vehicle in neutral (N) for an extended
period of time because this will discharge
your high voltage battery, shut off your air
conditioning and heating, and decrease
fuel economy. The engine will not start or
stop, and cannot provide power to the
hybrid system in neutral (N).

BREAKING-IN
You need to break in new tires for
approximately 300 mi (480 km). During
this time, your vehicle may exhibit some
unusual driving characteristics. The engine
also needs to break in. Avoid hard
accelerations and driving too fast for the
first 1,000 mi (1,600 km). If possible, avoid
carrying heavy loads up steep grades
during the break-in period.
ECONOMICAL DRIVING
Your fuel economy depends on:
• How you drive your vehicle.
• How you maintain your vehicle.
• The conditions you drive your vehicle
in.
You may improve your fuel economy by
keeping these in mind:
• Drive your vehicle at reasonable
speeds. Traveling at
65 mph
(105 km/h) uses about 15% less fuel
than traveling at 75 mph (121 km/h).
• Drive at steady speeds without
stopping.
• Anticipate stops. Slowing down your
vehicle may eliminate the need to stop.
• Keep the tires properly inflated and use
only the recommended size.
• Switch off the heater if you do not need
it. When you have the heater on, keep
it at the lowest blower and
temperature setting necessary to be
comfortable.
• When it is cold outside, park in a sunny
location or a climate-controlled
environment. This may save fuel by
reducing the energy needed to heat the
cabin. •
Switch off the air conditioning if you do
not need it. When you have the air
conditioning on, keep it at the lowest
blower and highest temperature
setting necessary to be comfortable.
• When it is hot or sunny outside, parking
in a shaded or climate-controlled
environment will save fuel by reducing
the energy needed to cool the cabin.
• Switch off the heated seats if you are
not using them.
• Switch off the defroster when you no
longer need it for visibility.
• Shift into low gear (L) when enhanced
engine braking is needed. Otherwise,
use drive gear (D) shift position.
• Combine errands and minimize
stop-and-go driving. A warmed up
engine works more efficiently. When
running errands, go to the farthest
destination first and then work your
way back home.
• Close the windows for high-speed
driving.
• Use the recommended engine oil. See
Capacities and Specifications (page
308
).
• Perform all regularly scheduled
maintenance. See
Scheduled
Maintenance (page 473).
• Use the coach and brake coach display
to get feedback on your economical
drive style. See Information Displays
(page
97).
Avoid these actions because they reduce
your fuel economy:
• Avoid sudden or hard accelerations and
decelerations. Accelerate and slow
down in a smooth, moderate fashion.
• Avoid revving the engine before
switching off your vehicle.
• Avoid long idle periods.
