3.
Insert a screwdriver in the position shown
and carefully remove the battery.
4. Insert a new battery with the + facing
upward.
5. Reinstall the battery cover onto the remote control and install the key blade.
Note: Refer to local regulations before you
dispose of the remote control batteries. Note:
Do not wipe off any grease on the
battery terminals or on the back surface of
the circuit board.
Note: Replacing the remote control battery
does not erase the programmed key from
your vehicle. The remote control operates
as normal.
Car Finder Press the button twice within three
seconds. A tone sounds and the
direction indicators flash. We
recommend you use this method to locate
your vehicle, rather than using the panic
alarm.
Sounding the Panic Alarm Press the button to sound the
panic alarm. Press the button
again or switch the ignition on to
turn it off.
Note: The panic alarm only operates when
the ignition is off. Remote Start WARNING:
Do not start the engine
in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes are toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start the
engine. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death. The remote start button is on the
remote control.
This feature allows you to start your vehicle
from the outside. The remote control has an
extended operating range.
You can configure the automatic climate
control to operate when you remote start
your vehicle.
See Climate Control (page
168).
Many states and provinces restrict the use
of remote start. Check your local and state
or provincial laws for specific requirements
regarding remote start systems.

Brake System Warning Lamp
WARNING: Driving your vehicle with
the warning lamp on is dangerous. A
significant decrease in braking
performance may occur. It may take you
longer to stop your vehicle. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Driving extended distances with the
parking brake engaged can cause brake
failure and the risk of personal injury.
Note: Indicators vary depending on region.
This lamp is a dual function lamp and
illuminates when:
• You apply the parking brake with the
ignition on.
• Your vehicle has a brake fault or low
brake fluid level, regardless of parking
brake position. If the lamp illuminates when you
are moving, you may have the
parking brake applied. Make sure
the parking brake is off. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as
possible if the lamp continues to
illuminate.
Cruise Control Illuminates when you switch this
feature on.
Direction Indicator Illuminates when you switch on the
left or right direction indicator or
the hazard flasher. If the indicators
stay on or flash faster, check for a burned

Low Tire Pressure Warning
Illuminates when your tire pressure
is low. If the lamp remains on with
the engine running or when
driving, check your tire pressure as soon as
possible.
It also illuminates momentarily when you
switch the ignition on to confirm the lamp is
functional. If it does not illuminate when you
switch the ignition on, or begins to flash at
any time, have the system checked by an
authorized dealer.

ignition on prior to engine start to
check the bulb and to indicate
whether your vehicle is ready for Inspection
and Maintenance (I/M) testing.
Normally, it illuminates until the engine is
cranked and automatically turns off if no
system errors are present. However, if after
15 seconds it flashes eight times, this
indicates that your vehicle is not ready for
Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) testing.
See
Catalytic Converter (page 235).
If it illuminates when the engine is running
this indicates a system error. The On Board
Diagnostics system has detected an error in
the vehicle emission control system. If it flashes, engine misfire may be occurring.
Continuing to drive your vehicle may cause
reduced power or the engine to stop. Failure
to respond to the warning lamp may cause
component damage not covered by the
vehicle Warranty. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
Stability Control
It flashes when the system is
active. If it remains illuminated or
does not illuminate when you
switch the ignition on, this indicates a system
error. During a system error the system
switches off. Have the system checked by
an authorized dealer immediately.
See
Using Stability Control (page 269).
Stability Control Off Illuminates when you switch the
system off. It goes out when you
switch the system back on or when
you switch the ignition off.
See Using
Stability Control (page 269).

When you are decelerating with either your
foot off the accelerator pedal or on the brake
pedal you will see a green or white solid bar
indicating the power being used to slow
down the vehicle. You may also see a green
rectangular box which shows the amount of
power that can be recaptured by the
regenerative braking system and returned
to the high voltage battery.
•
When your power level is completely
within the box the color of the bar will be
all green. This means that the
regenerative braking system is being
used to efficiently slow the vehicle down
and return the maximum percentage of
energy to the high voltage battery.
• When your power level is outside of the
green box then the bar will be white. This
means that both the regenerative braking
system and conventional braking system
are being used. Electric Efficiency
This screen shows your average driving
distance per kWh of electricity used on your
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 in mild ambient
temperatures with mild to moderate
acceleration and braking, moderate speeds
and low climate control usage.
INFORMATION MESSAGES
Move the selector switch to the
right to acknowledge and remove
some messages from the
information display. Other messages will be
removed automatically after a short time.
Certain messages need to be confirmed
before you can access the menus.
