3. The transmission is not in park (P) for
vehicles with automatic transmissions or
the parking brake is released for vehicles
with manual transmissions.
4. The lighting control is in the autolamps position.
5. The headlamps are off.
The other lighting control switch positions
do not activate the daytime running lamps,
and you can use them to temporarily override
autolamp control.
When switched off in the information display,
the daytime running lamps are off in all
lighting control switch positions. AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL (If Equipped)
The system will automatically turn on your
high beams if it is dark enough and no other
traffic is present. When it detects the
headlights of an approaching vehicle, the tail
lamps of the preceding vehicle or street
lighting, the system will turn off the high
beams before they distract other drivers. The
low beams remain on.
Note: If it appears that automatic control of
the high beams is not functioning properly,
check the windshield in front of the camera
for a blockage. A clear view of the road is
required for proper system operation. Have
any windshield damage in the area of the
camera ’s field-of-view repaired.
Note: If the system detects a blockage, for
example bird droppings, bug splatter, snow
or ice, the system will go into low beam
mode until you clear the blockage. A
message may also appear in the instrument
cluster display noting the front camera is
blocked. Note:
Typical road dust, dirt and water spots
will not affect the performance of the
automatic high beam system. However, in
cold or inclement weather conditions, you
will notice a decrease in the availability of
the high beam system, especially at start up.
If you want to change the beam state
independently of the system, you may switch
the high beams on or off using the
multifunction switch. Automatic control will
resume when conditions are correct.
Note: Modification of the vehicle ride height
such as using much larger tires, may
degrade feature performance.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted behind
the windshield of your vehicle, continuously
monitors conditions to decide when to switch
the high beams off and on.
Once the system is active, the high beams
will switch on if:
• the ambient light level is low enough
• there is no traffic in front of the vehicle
• the vehicle speed is greater than
approximately
32 mph (52 km/h).

Engage
Engage provides separate gauges for engine
power and high voltage battery power in
kilowatts (kW). The engine power gauge fill
is white and the high voltage battery power
gauge fill is blue. You can also see an
instantaneous fuel economy gauge. When
your vehicle is operating on battery power
only, you will see EV displayed and the
gauges will appear in blue.
Note:
Hold OK to reset average fuel
economy.
Empower
Empower provides a power demand gauge
in kilowatts (kW) which includes an engine
on or off threshold.
• When your vehicle is operating with
battery power only (below the threshold),
you will see EV displayed and the gauge
fill is blue.
• When your vehicle is operating with both
the engine and the high voltage battery
providing power the gauge fill is white. •
When power demand surpasses the
amber indicator, this level of demand and
associated fuel economy displays in
amber.
• When the engine is on, reducing power
demand to less than the threshold will
allow the engine to turn off.
You can also see an instantaneous fuel
economy gauge.
Note: Hold OK to reset average fuel
economy.

Accessory Power— Indicates electrical
power demands from your vehicle ’s
accessory systems. Accessories use
power but do not contribute to propelling
your vehicle. The gauge separately
displays power demand in kilowatts (kW)
for climate and other accessories.
Climate includes the power being used
by high voltage climate control
components such as the electric A/C
compressor. Other includes all power
being used by the low voltage
accessories (cabin fans, headlights and
heated seats).
• Coolant Temp – Indicates engine coolant
temperature. At normal operating
temperature, the level indicator will be
white and will be in the normal range
(between H and C). If the engine coolant
temperature exceeds the normal range,
the level indicator will change to red to
indicate that the engine is overheating.
Stop your vehicle as soon as safely
possible, turn your vehicle off and let the
engine cool.

as the electric A/C compressor and the electric heater (Energi only). \
The higher the

Represents your high-voltage battery. A circle illuminates around the node when the
high-voltage battery is receiving power from regenerative braking or eng\

The higher the power going into the high-voltage battery, the larger the circle around
this node.

When the
engine is on, but not using fuel, the engine node is active, but the fuel flow path is
off. An example of this is when your foot is off the accelerator pedal and \
the vehicle
is traveling at a high speed.

power the vehicle is using for acceleration.
It does not include energy the vehicle is
using for accessories (such as air
conditioning, headlights and radio). This
screen displays accessories and climate
usage separately. 2
Accessories indicates electrical power
demands from your vehicle ’s accessory
systems. Accessories use power but do not
contribute to making the vehicle move. The
