Hybrid Transmission
Due to the technologically advanced, electronically
controlled, continuously variable transaxle, you may
not feel shift changes like those of a non-hybrid
vehicle. Since the transmission controls your engine
speed, the engine speed may seem elevated at
times. This is normal hybrid operation, as it helps
deliver fuel efficiency and performance.
Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel Info
Your vehicle’s fuel tank capacity is 13.5 gallons
(51.1L). Use only “Regular” unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating of 87 or higher. Do not use E85 fuels
because your vehicle was not designed to run on
fuels with more than 15% ethanol.
BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System)
with Cross Traffic Alert
This system is designed to alert the driver of certain
collision risks. Radar sensors detect if vehicles ahead
of you which are moving in the same direction,
may be a collision risk. The system alerts you with
an audible tone and red warning light that appears
above the instrument panel. If the risk of collision
increases, the system increases brake support to
help reduce collision speed.
Temporary Mobility Kit
The kit is under the load floor of the trunk. The kit
consists of an air compressor to reinflate the tire and
a sealing compound in a canister that effectively
seals most punctures caused by nails or similar
objects. The canister contains only enough sealant compound for one tire. See an authorized dealer
for a replacement sealant canister after each use.
This kit provides a temporary tire repair seal,
allowing you to drive your vehicle up to 120 miles
(200 kilometers) at a maximum speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) to reach a tire service location.
Note: After sealant use, the tire pressure monitoring
system sensor and valve stem on the wheel must be
replaced by an authorized dealer. For more details,
refer to the Wheels and Tires
chapter of your
Owner’s Manual .
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Your vehicle lights a low tire pressure warning light
in your instrument cluster when one or more
of your tires are significantly under-inflated. If this
happens, stop and check your tires as soon as
possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure. Refer
to the Inflating Your Tires section in the Wheels
and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
Essential Information
Easy Fuel® System
With this system, you simply open the
fuel door, insert the nozzle and begin
fueling. It is self-sealing and therefore
protected against dust, dirt, water,
snow and ice. Wait 10 seconds from
the time the refueling nozzle is shut-
off until you remove the nozzle from
the vehicle to allow residual fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank.\
When using
a portable fuel container, slowly insert the fuel funnel (located in th\
e spare tire
compartment) and pour the fuel into the funnel.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they do not work with the Easy Fuel
system and may cause damage. Properly clean the funnel after each use.
Rear View Camera This system provides a video image of the area
behind the vehicle. The image 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.
Automatic Engine Shutdown
Your vehicle includes a feature that automatically shuts down the engine\
if it has
been idling for an extended period of time. The ignition also turns off \
in order
to save battery power. You can override this feature temporarily by pres\
sing
the brake or accelerator pedal, or by pressing OK or the RESET button in your
information display. Refer to the Information Displays chapter of your Owner’s
Manual for more details.
Electric Parking Brake
The operating switch replaces the conventional
handbrake. The location of the switch is to the left of the
steering column. To use, 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 on the \
ignition,
pressing the brake pedal and then pressing the electric parking brake sw\
itch.
Refer to the Brakes chapter of your Owner's Manual for more details.
Towing
Towing your vehicle behind an RV or any other vehicle may be limited. Re\
fer to
the Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels section in the Towing chapter of your
Owner's Manual for more information.
Open Window Buffeting
You may hear a pulsing noise when just one of the windows is open. Lower\
the
opposite window slightly to reduce this noise.
