LOCKING AND UNLOCKING
Your vehicle has an intelligent electronically
controlled door system that is in constant
communication with overall vehicle systems.
When you lock your vehicle using either the
lock switch on each door interior trim panel,
the keyless entry keypad or the lock sensor
on each exterior door trim panel, the exterior
door handle switches do not release the
doors. This helps secure your vehicle and
prevent unauthorized entry. Also, when your
vehicle reaches a speed greater than 12 mph
(20 km/h), the exterior door handle switches
do not release the doors.
If the airbags deploy or the fuel pump shutoff
switch activates, all interior and exterior
unlock switches do not unlock your door for
six seconds. This helps secure the doors in
the event of a crash. After six seconds, all
switches reset and you can open the doors
using the interior and exterior unlatch
switches.
Door Lock Indicator
An LED on each door lock switch illuminates
when you lock the doors. It remains on for
2 to 5 seconds after you switch the ignition
off.
Door Lock Switch Inhibitor
When you electronically lock your vehicle,
the door lock switches and the interior
luggage compartment release switch do not
operate after 20 seconds. To restore
function to these switches, you must unlock
your vehicle with the remote control or
keyless entry keypad, or switch the ignition
on.
Activating Intelligent Access
The intelligent access key must be within 3 ft
(1 m) of the door or luggage compartment
you intend to lock or unlock.At a Door

INTERIOR MIRROR
WARNING: Do not adjust the mirrors
when your vehicle is moving. This could
result in the loss of control of your vehicle,
serious personal injury or death.
Note:Do not clean the housing or glass of
any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum or ammonia-based cleaning
products.You can adjust the interior mirror to your
preference. Some mirrors also have a second
pivot point. This lets you move the mirror
head up or down and from side to side.
Auto-Dimming Mirror
Note: Do not block the sensors on the front
and back of the mirror. A rear center
passenger or raised rear center head
restraint may also block light from reaching
the sensor.
The mirror dims to reduce the effect of bright
light from behind. It returns to normal when
the bright light from behind is no longer
present or if you shift into reverse (R).

Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates approximately how
much fuel is in the fuel tank.
The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol
indicates on which side of your vehicle the
fuel filler door is located.
Note:The fuel gauge may vary slightly when
your vehicle is moving or on a slope.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder displays and sounds
when the distance to empty reaches 75 mi
(120 km) to empty for MyKey, and at 50 mi
(80 km), 25 mi (40 km), 10 mi (20 km) and
0 mi (0 km) for all vehicle keys.Note:The low fuel reminder can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal.
Battery Gauge
The high voltage battery gauge displays the
total amount of charge associated with your
available electric only driving range. A full fill
represents the total amount of energy you
can get from an external charge by plugging
your vehicle in. When the fill reaches empty
the powertrain system switches to hybrid
operation. See Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle
Operation (page 219).

Instrument Cluster

Vehicle Range Display
Displays the approximate range your vehicle
can travel with the energy currently onboard.
Estimates vary based on the energy used
when driving.
Changes in driving pattern can cause the
values to not only decrease but also increase
or stay constant for periods of time.
The amount of energy being used when
driving is affected by:
• Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking.
• Vehicle speed.
• Use of accessories, such as climate
control.
• Ambient temperature and other weather
conditions.
• Driving in a city or on a highway.
• Driving on flat or hilly roads.
• Towing.Note:It is normal for vehicle range estimates
to vary due to changes in average energy
usage. This is why you typically see different
range estimates each time you fill up the fuel
tank or fully charge the battery.
Note:Electric range is lower in cold
temperatures due to reduced energy
capacity in the high voltage battery. Set a
departure time and cabin temperature to
maintain battery temperature for best range
and performance. See Electric Vehicle
Information (page 546).
Gasoline Distance to Empty
Indicates the approximate distance your
vehicle can travel on the fuel remaining in
the tank.
Electric Range
Indicates the approximate distance your
vehicle can travel on electric power only with
the engine off.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
WARNING: Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10
minutes for the cooling system to cool
down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap with
a thick cloth to prevent the possibility of
scalding and slowly remove the cap.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury.
Indicates the engine coolant temperature.
At normal operating temperature, the level
indicator is in the normal range. If the engine
coolant temperature exceeds the normal
range, stop your vehicle as soon as safely
possible, switch off the engine and let the
engine cool.

Provides trip timer, trip average fuel
economy, total trip distance traveled, and
distance traveled on electric power only with
the engine off. If the gasoline engine has not
turned on during the trip, then trip average
fuel economy does not display. This Trip
automatically resets each time you start your
vehicle.Fuel Economy
An Instant Fuel Economy gauge is provided
along with Average Fuel Economy. Average
fuel economy is continuously averaged since
the last reset.
Both electric only and hybrid operation are
included in the calculation. More electric only
driving will result in greater average fuel
economy.
While viewing this screen you can reset your
average fuel economy by pressing and
holding the folder button.
When the gasoline engine is off the instant
fuel economy gauge is replaced with an
electric driving message.EV Coach
EV Coach can help you to get the most out
of your vehicle’s electric driving and
regenerative braking capabilities.
When you are accelerating or maintaining
speed you will see a blue or white solid bar
indicating vehicle power. You may also see
a blue rectangular box which shows the
power level at which the engine will turn on.
• When the power level is within the box,
the color of the bar will be blue. This
means you are in Electric operation and
the engine is off.
• When the power level is outside of the
box, the color of the bar will be white.
This means you are in Hybrid operation
with a combination of the electric motor
and the engine providing vehicle power.
