detected a malfunction of the vehicle
emissions control system. Refer to On board
diagnostics (OBD) in the Fuel and Refueling
chapter for more information about servicing
your vehicle. See Emission Control System

If the light is blinking, the engine is misfiring.
This could damage your catalytic converter.
Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy
acceleration and deceleration) and have your
vehicle serviced immediately.
Note: If your engine is misfiring, excessive
exhaust temperatures could damage the
catalytic converter or other vehicle
components.
The service engine soon indicator lights
when the you first switch on your vehicle,
prior to engine start, to check the bulb and
to indicate whether the vehicle is ready for
inspection maintenance testing. Normally, the service engine soon light will
stay on until the engine cranks, then turn
itself off if no malfunctions are present.
However, if after 15 seconds the service
engine soon light blinks eight times, it means
that the vehicle is not ready for inspection
maintenance testing. See Emission Control
System
(page 184).

view is the total time duration for the 5
intervals. You can select total duration in the
options menu. Intervals shown in grey color
are from the previous drive. The blue
horizontal line represents the average fuel
economy value shown to the right.
Note:
Hold OK to reset fuel history and
average fuel economy.
Coach
This view provides a comparison of your
recent acceleration, braking and cruising
behavior, then recommends the most
efficient use of energy under present
conditions. The horizontal bars fill from left
to right with best behavior and appear blue
when at least half full. When the bars are less
than half full, the color is amber, suggesting
that you need a change in your driving
behavior to achieve better energy efficiency.
Note: Fuel Economy will be impacted by your
use of brakes, accelerator and accessories,
as well as environmental conditions such as
hills and weather. 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.
