QUICK TIPS
Help Maximize Your Fuel Economy by
Utilizing These Few Tips
1. Use smooth acceleration and braking. According to the United
States Department of Energy, aggressive driving can lower your
gas mileage by up to 33 percent at highway speeds and
5 percent in the city.
2. Carry the bare essentials. The Department of Energy
estimates that an extra 100 pounds (45.4 kilograms) in your
vehicle could reduce your fuel economy by up to two percent.
3. Seasonal fuel makes a difference. Winter fuel contains
slightly less energy than summer fuel, so the fuel blend you fill
up with can impact your efficiency.
4. Idling burns fuel, too. You can burn up to half a gallon
(1.9 liters) of fuel per hour while idling. Minimize your morning
warm-up and parking lot waits to get the most out of filling
your tank.
5. Avoid extreme temperatures. Find a shady or sheltered spot
to help keep your lithium-ion battery operating efficiently,
and minimize the amount of energy required to heat or
cool your cabin.
6. Use accessories wisely. Heated seats, the rear defroster,
the air conditioner and other power features draw electrical
energy. When you operate your accessories, you may notice
that the gasoline engine needs to start. Choose “Accessory
Power” when configuring your MyView screen to see how much
electricity you are using to power your vehicle’s accessories.
7. Check your tires. Proper tire inflation can help you improve
your fuel economy by up to 3.3 percent, according to the
Department of Energy, while under-inflation could lower your
fuel economy by 0.3 percent for every 1 psi drop in pressure
of all four tires. Check your vehicle’s door sticker
for recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
Fuel History and Coach
Within the information displays, you'll be able to see how your
driving style directly impacts your fuel economy.
Fuel history provides instant fuel economy, plus your recent fuel
economy averaged over selectable intervals of 1, 2 or 6 minutes.
Coach can teach you how to improve your fuel economy by
providing feedback on your recent acceleration, braking and
cruising behavior.
Efficiency Leaves show your recent driving efficiency measured
over the last few minutes. More leaves mean better fuel economy!
Eco Cruise Control
This feature saves vehicle energy by slowing down acceleration
compared to standard cruise control. Your vehicle may relax its
acceleration temporarily when going uphill. Eco cruise control can
be switched on and off through the Driver Assist section of the
Settings menu in the information display.

Rear View Camera
Provides a video image of the area behind the vehicle. The display
automatically appears in the touchscreen when the vehicle is in
reverse (R) and uses green, yellow and red guides to alert you of
your proximity to objects.
Front and Rear Sensing System*
Sounds a warning tone if there is an obstacle near either bumper.
The warning tone increases in frequency as the object gets closer.
The front sensors are active when the gearshift is in any position
other than park (P) or neutral (N) and the vehicle speed is below
6 mph (10 km/h). The rear sensors activate when the vehicle is in
reverse (R) and is traveling less than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Lane Keeping System*
Detects unintentional drifting out of your lane through
various driver alerts and steering corrections toward
the center of the lane. Set your system settings as
desired by Mode, Sensitivity and Intensity from your
information display screen.
Driver Alert*
Automatically monitors your driving behavior using various inputs
including the front camera sensor. If the system detects that your
driving alertness is reduced below a certain threshold, the system
alerts you by using a tone and displaying a message in the cluster
display. If no correction is made, warnings continue to alert the
driver. Press OK on the steering wheel to clear the warning.
Collision Warning System*
Designed to alert the driver of certain collision risks. A radar detects
if your vehicle is rapidly approaching another vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours. If it is, a red warning light illuminates and
an audible warning tone sounds. If the risk of collision increases, the
system increases brake support to help reduce collision speed.
BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System)
with Cross Traffic Alert
*
BLIS aids you in detecting vehicles that may have entered into
your blind spot zone. Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles
approaching from the sides when the transmission is in reverse (R).
BLIS and cross traffic turn on a yellow indicator light in the exterior
mirror on the side of the vehicle the approaching vehicle is coming
from. Refer to the Driving Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
NOTE Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where
the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner's Manual for safety
information, more details and system limitations.

FUNCTION
Configurable Daytime Running Lamps*
When you switch the feature on in the information display, daytime
running lamps turn on when you are driving, the lighting control is
in the autolamps position
and the headlamps are off. You can
switch the Configurable Daytime Running Lamps feature ON or OFF
using the information display controls. See the Lighting chapter in
your Owner’s Manual for complete information.
Electric Parking Brake
This feature replaces the conventional handbrake. The operating
switch is located on the center console, to the left of the
gearshift lever. To apply the electric parking brake, pull the switch up.
The brake system warning lamp lights to confirm that you applied
the electric parking brake.
You can release the electric parking brake manually by switching
the ignition on, pressing the brake pedal and then pressing the
electric parking brake switch. Refer to the Brakes chapter of
your Owner's Manual for more details.
Active Park Assist*
Detects an available parallel parking space and automatically
steers the vehicle into the space (hands-free) while you control
the accelerator, gearshift and brakes.
» Press the
button on the center console near the gearshift
lever. The touchscreen displays a message and a corresponding
graphic to indicate it is searching for a parking space.
» Use the direction indicator to indicate which side of the vehicle
you want the system to search. If the direction indicator is off,
the system automatically searches on the passenger side of
the vehicle.
» When the system locates a suitable space, the touchscreen
displays a message and a tone sounds. Slow down and stop
approximately even with the vehicle in front of where you wish
to park, then follow the instructions on the touchscreen.
NOTE The driver is always responsible for controlling the vehicle,
supervising the system and intervening, if required.
