Fuel Economy Displays
• Fuel History: This view from left to right starts with the instantaneous fuel
economy gauge and adds historical fuel economy data. The data is
represented as an average for time intervals of either 1, 2 or 6 minutes, with
the left most interval being the most recent. Total time for the 5 intervals is
shown at the bottom of the view. Intervals shown in grey color are from the
previous drive.
• Average Fuel Economy:
Average fuel economy is continuously averaged
since the last reset. You can reset your average fuel economy by pressing
and holding the OK button on the left hand steering wheel controls. For
Energi vehicles both Hybrid and Plug-in Power mode operation will be
included in the calculation.
• Instantaneous Fuel Economy:
If your instantaneous fuel economy is
greater than the maximum value displayed, a + sign will be shown next to
the maximum scale number. When the vehicle is operating on battery power
only, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue.
Note that fuel economy is not always a measure of appropriate driving behavior.
For example, when driving uphill and maintaining an appropriate speed, your
instant fuel economy may not be good (losing leaves) but the Coach may show
a blue bar for Acceleration or Cruising.
Info In this mode, you can view
different vehicle system
information and perform a
system check.

Both heated mirrors remove ice, mist
and fog when you switch on the
heated rear window.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin
air filter. It is located behind the glove
box.
The particulate filtration system
reduces the concentration of airborne
particles such as dust, spores and
pollen in the air supplied to the interior
of your vehicle.
Note:
To prevent foreign objects from
entering the system, make sure the
cabin air is in place at all times.
Running the system without a filter in
place could result in degradation or
damage to the system.
The particulate filtration system gives
you and your passengers the following
benefits:
• It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior
compartment cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle
deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals.
See Scheduled Maintenance (page
444).
For additional cabin air filter
information, or to replace the filter,
see an authorized dealer. REMOTE START
The climate control system adjusts
the cabin temperature during remote
start.
You cannot adjust the system during
remote start operation. Turn the
ignition on to return the system to its
previous settings. You can now make
adjustments. You need to turn certain
vehicle-dependent features back on,
such as:
•
heated seats
• cooled seats
• heated steering wheel
• heated mirrors
• heated rear window.
You can adjust the settings using the
information display controls.
See
Information Displays (page 103).
Automatic Settings
You can set the climate control to
operate in AUTO mode through the
information display setting: Remote
Start > Climate Control > Heater-A/C
> Auto. The climate control system
automatically sets the interior
temperature to 72°F (22°C).
In hot weather, the system is set to
72°F (22°C). Cooled seats are set to
high (if available, and selected to
AUTO in the information display).
In moderate weather, the system
either heats or cools (based on
previous settings). The rear defroster,
heated mirrors and heated/cooled
seats do not automatically turn on.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION
WARNINGS
Sitting improperly, out of
position or with the seat back
reclined too far can take weight off
the seat cushion and affect the
decision of the passenger sensing
system, resulting in serious injury or
death in the event of a crash. Always
sit upright against your seat back, with
your feet on the floor. Do not recline the seat back as
this can cause the occupant to
slide under the safety belt, resulting
in serious injury in the event of a crash. Do not place objects higher than
the seat back to reduce the risk
of serious injury in the event of a crash
or during heavy braking. When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, safety belt and air bags
will provide optimum protection in the
event of a crash. We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•
Sit in an upright position with the
base of your spine as far back as
possible.
• Do not recline the seat back more
than 30 degrees.
• Adjust the head restraint so that
the top of it is level with the top of
your head and as far forward as
possible. Make sure that you
remain comfortable.
• Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel.
We recommend a minimum of 10
inches (25 centimeters) between
your breastbone and the air bag
cover.
• Hold the steering wheel with your
arms slightly bent.
• Bend your legs slightly so that you
can press the pedals fully.
• Position the shoulder strap of the
safety belt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can
maintain full control of your vehicle.
HEAD RESTRAINTS WARNINGS
Fully adjust the head restraint
before you sit in or operate your
vehicle. This will help minimize the risk
of neck injury in the event of a crash.
Do not adjust the head restraint when
your vehicle is moving.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Note:
Occasional brake noise is
normal. If a metal-to-metal,
continuous grinding or continuous
squeal sound is present, the brake
linings may be worn-out. Have the
system checked by an authorized
dealer. If the vehicle has continuous
vibration or shudder in the steering
wheel while braking, have it checked
by an authorized dealer.
Note: Brake dust may accumulate on
the wheels, even under normal driving
conditions. Some dust is inevitable as
the brakes wear and does not
contribute to brake noise. See
Cleaning the Alloy Wheels (page 299). See Warning Lamps and
Indicators (page 98).
Wet brakes result in reduced braking
efficiency. Gently press the brake
pedal a few times when driving from
a car wash or standing water to dry
the brakes.
Brake Over Accelerator
In the event the accelerator pedal
becomes stuck or entrapped, apply
steady and firm pressure to the brake
pedal to slow the vehicle and reduce
engine power. If you experience this
condition, apply the brakes and bring
your vehicle to a safe stop. Move the
transmission selector lever to position P,
switch the engine off and apply the
parking brake. Inspect the accelerator
pedal for any interference. If none are
found and the condition persists, have
your vehicle towed to the nearest
authorized dealer.
Brake Assist
Brake assist detects when you brake
heavily by measuring the rate at which
you press the brake pedal. It provides
maximum braking efficiency as long
as you press the pedal. Brake assist
can reduce stopping distances in
critical situations.
Anti-lock Brake System
This system helps you maintain
steering control during emergency
stops by keeping the brakes from
locking. This lamp momentarily
illuminates when you turn
the ignition on. If the light
does not illuminate during start up,
remains on or flashes, the anti-lock
braking system may be disabled. Have
the system checked by an authorized
dealer. If the system is disabled,
normal braking is still
effective. If the brake
warning lamp illuminates when you
release the parking brake, have your
system checked by an authorized
dealer.

Regenerative Braking System
This feature is used to simulate the
engine braking of an internal
combustion engine and assist the
standard brake system while
recovering some of the energy of
motion and storing it in the battery to
improve fuel economy. The standard
brake system is designed to fully stop
the car if regenerative braking is not
available. During regenerative braking,
the motor is spun as a generator to
create electrical current. This
recharges the battery and slows the
vehicle. In effect, once the accelerator
pedal is released, the motor changes
from an energy user to an energy
producer.
When you release the accelerator
pedal or press the brake pedal, the
brake controller automatically detects
the amount of deceleration requested
and optimizes how much of the
deceleration will be produced by
regenerative braking. The remaining
portion is generated by standard
friction braking. When the battery is
almost fully charged, the amount of
regenerative braking is limited to avoid
overcharging, and the requested
deceleration is produced by standard
friction braking alone.
Regenerative braking does not take
the place of the standard friction
brakes; it only assists them.
Regenerative braking has also been
designed to interact with the anti-lock
brake system. Regenerative braking
is disabled when the anti-lock brake
system is activated or the battery is
fully charged.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
Note:
When the system is operating,
the brake pedal will pulse and may
travel further. Maintain pressure on the
brake pedal. You may also hear a noise
from the system. This is normal.
The anti-lock braking system will not
eliminate the risks when:
• you drive too closely to the vehicle
in front of you
• your vehicle is hydroplaning
• you take corners too fast
• the road surface is poor.
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
The electric parking brake replaces
the conventional handbrake. The
operating switch is located on the
instrument panel to the left of the
steering wheel. WARNING
Always set the parking brake and
leave your vehicle with the
transmission selector in position P. Note:
When you apply the electric
parking brake in certain conditions, for
example on a steep hill, the electric
parking brake may reapply the brakes
within three to ten minutes.
Note: You may notice various noises
when you apply and release the electric
parking brake. This is normal and no
cause for concern.
