Turning front seat ventilation
* on
and off
Seat ventilation can be used e.g., to help remove dampness from the seat occupant's clothing.
The ventilation system consists of fans in the seats and backrests that draw air through theseat upholstery. The cooling effect increases asthe air in the passenger compartment becomescooler. This feature can be activated when theengine is running and it monitors the seat's tem-perature, sunlight in the passenger compartmentand the ambient temperature.
Activating/deactivating front seat ventilation
Steering wheel and seat buttons in the climate bar
1. Tap the left or right side steering wheel and seat button in the center display's climate bar to open the steering wheel and seat con-trols. If the vehicle is not equipped with the optional heated steering wheel/seats, thebutton for seat ventilation will be directlyaccessible in the climate bar.
2. Tap the seat ventilation button repeatedly to select one of four levels:
Off, High, Middleor Low.

One of the alarm sensors, which is sensitive to metallic objects, is located under the tunnelconsole cup holders. Avoid leaving coins,keys, etc., in the cup holders because theymay inadvertently trigger the alarm.

STARTING AND DRIVING
389
Using the electric motor in city driving A number of factors affect the electric motor's driving range.
The driver can affect some of these factors while others depend on outside conditions such astemperature, road surface, etc.
Factors that determine the electric motor's driving range
Factors outside of the driver's control
The following are examples of factors that the driver cannot control:
• The current traffic situation
• Driving short distances
• Topography
• Ambient temperature and headwinds
• Road conditions/road surface
The following table shows the approximate rela-
tionship between ambient temperature and driv-ing range using the electric motor (with reducedclimate system functionality). Warmer tempera-tures increase driving range.
77 °F (25 °C)105%
68 °F (20 °C)100%
50 °F (10 °C)90%
40 °F (5 °C)85%
32 °F (0 °C)80%
23 °F (-5 °C)75%
14 °F (-10 °C)70%
Factors in the driver's control
The driver should be aware of the following fac- tors in order to utilize the vehicle's electric motormost efficiently:
• Charge the hybrid battery regularly
• Preconditioning
• The
Pure drive mode
• Climate system settings
• Speed and acceleration
• The
Save drive mode
• Tires and inflation pressure
The following table shows the approximate rela-
tionship between constant speed and driving range where driving at a lower constant speedhelps increase the electric motor's driving range.
62 mph (100 km/h)70%
55 mph (90 km/h)80%
50 mph(80 km/h)90%
43 mph (70 km/h)100%
37 mph (60 km/h)110%
30 mph(50 km/h)120%
NOTE
• The figures in the preceding tables per- tain to a new vehicle.
• None of the figures are absolute and areaffected by e.g., driving style, weather,traffic conditions, etc.
Driving with the electric motorUse the Pure drive mode for the most energy-
efficient driving to help maximize driving range using the electric motor only. Use the
Save drive mode for higher speeds
when driving farther than is possible using the electric motor only.

Drive modes
Selecting a drive mode affects the vehicle's driv- ing characteristics to help make driving moreenjoyable or easier in certain types of situations.
The following systems are adapted to help pro- vide the best vehicle performance in the respec-tive drive modes: • Steering
• Engine/transmission/All Wheel Drive
• Brakes
• Suspension control
• Instrument panel
• Climate system settings
Select the drive mode best suited to the current driving conditions. Please be aware that not all modes can be selected in all driving situations. The selectedmode will be displayed in the instrument panel.
Selecting a drive mode
1. Press the DRIVE MODE control in the tun-
nel console.
> A pop-up menu will open in the center display.
2. Roll the control upward or downward to scroll to the desired drive mode. A drive mode can also be selected by tap- ping its button on the center display.
3. Press the control again to select it. When a driving mode cannot be selected, one of the following messages may be displayed:
•
Not possible to select due to gear in manual
•Not possible to select due to low battery
•Not possible to select due to low temperature
•Not possible to select due to limitations
•Not possible to select due to high speed.

ECO drive mode
The Eco drive mode is a function designed to give the driver the opportunity to drive more eco-nomically and to help reduce fuel consumption.
When this mode is activated, the following cha- racteristics are modified:
• The automatic transmission's shifting points
• The engine management system and accel- erator pedal response
• Climate system settings: certain functionswill be temporarily reduced or deactivated
• The suspension's self-leveling function
* low-
ers ground clearance to help reduce windresistance
• Information is shown in an ECO gauge in theinstrument panel to help promote more eco-nomical driving
NOTE
When Eco is activated, several climate system parameters are changed and the function ofcertain current-consuming systems will bereduced. Some of these functions can be restarted manually but full functionality will not berestored until Eco is deactivated.
Selecting ECO modeWhen the engine is switched off, ECO mode is deactivated and must be reactivated each time the engine is started.
ECO will appear in the
instrument panel when the function is activated.
Via Function view
