Note:
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 and Cruising.
Common Displays
Both Average fuel economy and an
instantaneous fuel economy gauge are
included in Engage, Empower and MyView
(if selected) on the left information display.
They are also included in Fuel History on the
right information display.
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 corresponding
steering wheel controls. Note:
Average fuel economy cannot be reset
in MyView.
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 your vehicle is operating on
battery power only, EV will display and the
gauge fill will show in blue.

You cannot restart the vehicle if the system
does not detect a valid key within 20
seconds.
Automatic Shutdown
This feature automatically shuts down the
vehicle if it has been idling for an extended
period. The ignition also turns off in order to
save battery power. Before the vehicle shuts
down, a message appears in the information
display showing a timer counting down from
30 seconds. If you do not intervene within
30 seconds, the vehicle shuts down. Another
message appears in the information display
to inform you that the vehicle has shut down
in order to save fuel. Start your vehicle as
you normally do.Automatic Shutdown Override
Note:
You cannot permanently switch off the
automatic shutdown feature. When you
switch it off temporarily, it turns on at the

•
Keep the tires properly inflated and only
use the recommended size.
• Aggressive driving increases the amount
of energy required to move your vehicle.
In general, you can achieve better fuel
economy with mild to moderate
acceleration and deceleration. Moderate
braking is particularly important since it
allows you to maximize the energy
captured by the regenerative braking
system.
Additional Tips:
• Do not carry extra loads.
• Be mindful of adding external
accessories that may increase
aerodynamic drag.
• Observe posted speed limits.
• Perform all scheduled maintenance.
• There is no need to wait for your engine
to warm up. The vehicle is ready to drive
immediately after starting. EV+ Mode
Your vehicle will recognize your frequent
destinations and allow for more EV driving
as you approach them. For example, when
nearing your home it should be easier to stay
in electric mode. The EV indicator will display
EV+ when this mode is active. You should
see this about 1/8 mile (200 meters) from a
frequent destination. See Information
Displays (page 110).
Note: Frequent destinations are learned by
your vehicle after two to four weeks of use.
To add a destination immediately, perform
the following process: cycle the ignition on
for 2 seconds, but do not start your vehicle,
then off for 2 seconds. Repeat the process
10 times. This location is now programmed
for EV+. You can clear these destinations
with a Driving History reset through the
Settings menu.
Note: The EV+ feature can be turned on or
off through the Driver Assist section of the
Settings menu. EcoSelect
EcoSelect is designed to offer the best
possible fuel economy with only a slight
impact to vehicle performance and comfort. To
activate EcoSelect, press the ECO button on
the center console.
A graphic displays on your information
display when EcoSelect is active.
Your vehicle will remember the last selected
mode between key cycles.

If this action corrects the problem, the
message may not reset immediately. It may
take several driving cycles for the message
to turn off. A driving cycle consists of an
engine start-up (after four or more hours with
the engine off ) followed by city or highway
driving. Continuing to drive with the message
on may cause the service engine soon lamp
to turn on as well.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Note:
The amount of usable fuel in the empty
reserve varies and should not be relied upon
to increase driving range. When refueling
your vehicle after the fuel gauge indicates
empty, you might not be able to refuel the
full amount of the advertised capacity of the
fuel tank due to the empty reserve still
present in the tank. Empty reserve is the amount of fuel
remaining in the tank after the fuel gauge
indicates empty. Do not rely on this fuel for
driving. The usable capacity of the fuel tank
is the amount of fuel that can be put into the
tank after the gauge indicates empty. The
advertised capacity is the total fuel tank size
– it is the combined usable capacity plus the
empty reserve.
Filling the Tank
For consistent results when filling the fuel
tank:
•
Turn the ignition off before fueling; an
inaccurate reading results if the engine
is left running.
• Use the same fill rate (low-medium-high)
each time the tank is filled.
• Allow no more than two automatic
click-offs when filling.
Results are most accurate when the filling
method is consistent. Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during the
first 1000 miles (1600 kilometers) of driving
(this is your engine
’s break-in period); a more
accurate measurement is obtained after
2000 miles - 3000 miles (3200 kilometers -
4800 kilometers). Also, fuel expense,
frequency of fill ups or fuel gauge readings
are not accurate ways to measure fuel
economy.
1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading.
2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fuel added.
3. After at least three to five tank fill ups, fill
the fuel tank and record the current
odometer reading.
4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer reading.
5. Calculate fuel economy by dividing miles
traveled by gallons used (For Metric:
Multiply liters used by 100, then divide
by kilometers traveled).

Following a Vehicle
WARNINGS
When following a vehicle, your vehicle
will not decelerate automatically to a
stop, nor will your vehicle always decelerate
quickly enough to avoid a crash without
driver intervention. Always apply the brakes
when necessary. Failing to do so may result
in a crash, serious injury or death. Adaptive cruise control only warns of
vehicles detected by the radar sensor.
In some cases there may be no warning or
a delayed warning. You should always apply
the brakes when necessary. Failure to do so
may result in a crash, serious injury or death. Note:
The brakes may emit a sound when
modulated by the adaptive cruise control
system.
When a vehicle ahead of you enters the
same lane or a slower vehicle is ahead in the
same lane, the vehicle speed adjusts to
maintain a preset gap distance. The distance
setting is adjustable. A vehicle graphic illuminates in the
instrument cluster.
To help you pass while adaptive cruise
control is active, when you switch on your
left turn signal, you may experience a small
temporary acceleration.
The vehicle will maintain a constant distance
between the vehicle ahead until:
•
The vehicle in front of you accelerates to
a speed above the set speed.
• The vehicle in front of you moves out of
your lane or out of view.
• The vehicle speed falls below 12 mph (20
km/h).
• A new gap distance is set.
The vehicle will apply the brakes to slow the
vehicle to maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front. The maximum braking which
the system can apply is limited. You can
override the system by applying the brakes. If the system predicts that its maximum
braking level will not be sufficient, an audible
warning will sound while the system
continues to brake. This is accompanied by
a heads-up display; a red warning bar
illuminating on the windshield. You should
take immediate action.
Setting the Gap Distance
Gap decrease.
A
Gap increase.
B
You can decrease or increase the distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in front
by pressing the gap control.

The current assessment of your alertness is
within a typical range.
The current assessment of your alertness
indicates that you should rest as soon as
safely possible.
The status bar will travel from left to right as
the calculated alertness level decreases. As
the rest icon is approached the color turns
from green to yellow to red. The yellow
position indicates the first warning is active
and the red position indicates the second
warning is active.
Note:
If you have recently received a
warning; you should consider resting, even
if the current assessment is with the typical
range. Note:
If the camera sensor cannot track the
road lane markings or if your vehicle speed
drops below approximately 40 mph (64
km/h), the alertness level will change to grey
for a short time and the information display
will inform you that the system is unavailable.
Resetting the System
You can reset the system by either:
• Switching the ignition off and on.
• Stopping the vehicle and then opening
and closing the driver’ s door.
LANE KEEPING SYSTEM (If Equipped) WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention. At all times you are responsible for
controlling your vehicle, supervising
the system and intervening if required. If the sensor becomes blocked the
system may not function. WARNINGS
In cold and severe weather conditions
the system may not function. Rain,
snow, spray can all limit sensor performance. Large contrasts in lighting can limit
sensor performance.
The system will not operate if the
sensor cannot track the road lane
markings. The vehicle should be taken to an
authorized dealer for inspection if
damage occurs in the immediate area
surrounding the sensor. Note:
The system works above
40 mph
(64 km/h).
Note: The system works as long as the
camera can detect one lane marking.
Note: The system may not function if the
camera is blocked or there is damage to the
windshield.
