A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS
It is not recommended to leave the ignition switch in the
ACC position for extended periods of time. This will
discharge the 12-Volt battery and may degrade the bat-
tery life and/or prevent the vehicle from starting. For
information on using the vehicles accessories (radio,
video system or power outlets) refer to “Electrical Power
Outlets” in Section 3 of this supplement.

6 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
HYBRID SYSTEM OPERATION
Your Hybrid vehicle combines the power of a gasoline
engine and electric motors to minimize fuel consumption
and emissions. This vehicle requires no special fuels and
never has to be plugged in to recharge. Understanding
the unique characteristics of your vehicle will help ensure
maximum performance and best fuel economy from your
vehicle.
Your Hybrid vehicle is also equipped with two electrical
voltage systems. A 12-Volt system which is used to power
the conventional electrical system and a high voltage
system which is used to power the motors in the 2-Mode
Hybrid Transmission as well as other high voltage sys-
tem components.
Hybrid Operation
Shifting
You must press the brake pedal fully before shifting out
of PARK. During this first brake application, the brake
system is undergoing a self-test function. The brake pedal
travel will be longer then usual. This is normal. Press
firmly on the brake to prevent rolling. Refer to “Regen-
erative Braking System” under “Hybrid Vehicle Unique
Operating Characteristics” in this Section for further
information.
Driving
When the “READY” light is illuminated the gas engine
can shut off automatically to save on fuel, and start
automatically to provide power when it is needed. While
coasting at low speeds, coming to a stop or standing still,
the gas engine will normally shut off and the vehicle will
operate on electric power only. Conditions that may
cause the gas engine to start up or remain running
include:
•
Moderate or rapid acceleration
•
Vehicle speed
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 7

•
Climbing a hill
•
Charge level of high voltage battery
•
Engine temperature, transmission temperature or
coolant temperature
•
Hybrid System malfunction (Hybrid service lamp on)
•
Tow/Haul activated
•
Hood is ajar
•
Shift lever position 2 or 1
NOTE: The gas engine can also automatically shut off
with the shift lever in PARK, REVERSE, DRIVE or
NEUTRAL.
Stopping In Traffic With Auto Stop/Start Function
The gas engine may shut off as you decelerate to a stop,
this is normal and will conserve fuel at idle. Restarting
the vehicle is not necessary.
When you desire to move forward with traffic flow,
simply press the accelerator pedal and continue acceler-
ating from idle up to your cruising speed. The gas engine
will restart and shut down again automatically when
commanded by the Hybrid System. Shutting down and
restarting (cycling) of the gas engine during low speed
traffic conditions less than 30 mph (48 km/h) is normal.
Re-Starting A Warm Engine
Your Hybrid vehicle is equipped with Silent Start fuel⬙ ⬙
saving technology. The decision to enable the gas engine
on a restart is automatically determined by the Hybrid
System.
Under certain conditions, the gas engine will not start
(usually when restarting a warmed-up engine that has
recently been parked) when the ignition key is inserted
and turned to the START position. This is normal and is
considered a Silent Start . When the ignition key is⬙ ⬙
released to the ON/RUN position you will observe the
8 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
green READY light illuminated in the instrument clus-⬙ ⬙
ter, but, again, the gas engine is not running. When you
experience a “Silent Start” leave the key in the ON/RUN
position, then simply place your foot on the brake pedal,
move the shift lever into REVERSE or DRIVE and press
the accelerator pedal to drive the Hybrid vehicle in the
electric mode.
2-Mode Hybrid Transmission Operation
The 2-Mode Hybrid Transmission combines two electric
motors with four fixed gear ratios within a single trans-
mission housing. The electric motors can be used for
electric-only propulsion, boosting the internal combus-
tion engine or providing regenerative braking.
The 2-Mode Hybrid Transmission will select one of the
four fixed gear ratios, or operate as an electrically vari-
able transmission (variable ratio or EVT) depending on
driver input, vehicle speed and loading.
Unlike a conventional transmission, the 2-Mode Hybrid
Transmission can propel the vehicle without the engine
running during low speed, light load operation (electric
only mode).
NOTE: Your Hybrid vehicle can be run through typical
commercial car wash facilities. There are some precau-
tions that you should keep in mind.
•
When entering an automatic/conveyor style car wash
facility, it is important that the driver follow the
attendant’s or posted instructions and that your shift
lever is shifted to NEUTRAL when instructed.
•
A Hybrid vehicle that is in REVERSE or DRIVE with
the “READY” light illuminated and gas engine
stopped, is NOT a substitute for the NEUTRAL
position.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 9

CAUTION!
Car wash equipment damage, vehicle damage or a
potential accident event could result if the car wash
facility instructions for PARK, NEUTRAL, DRIVE
and REVERSE are not followed.
Hybrid Vehicle Operating Characteristics
Your Hybrid vehicle operates differently compared to a
Non-Hybrid vehicle. The following is a description of the
major differences:
Regenerative Braking
Your Hybrid vehicle has a Regenerative Braking System
(RBS). The RBS increases the fuel economy of the vehicle,
particularly in stop-and-go city traffic. The electric mo-
tors which propel the vehicle forward can operate as
generators when braking. The RBS recharges the high
voltage battery under certain braking conditions by re-
capturing energy that would otherwise be lost while
braking. The electric power that is generated goes back
into the high voltage battery for later use, for example
when acceleration is desired.
The RBS uses conventional hydraulic friction brakes,
regenerative braking, or a combination to slow the ve-
hicle. The Hybrid power gauge indicates the amount of
regenerative braking. If the system detects slippery con-
ditions while braking, mainly friction is used to slow the
vehicle. The RBS can result in extended life of the
hydraulic service brakes; however, all inspection, sched-
uled maintenance, and service intervals for the vehicle
service brakes must be followed.
NOTE: Lighter brake pedal efforts and longer brake
pedal travel are normal Hybrid brake operations during
the first brake application. After start-up, during the first
brake application, the brake system undergoes a self-test
10 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
function. The brake pedal has a lighter effort (longer
travel) than during normal driving but provides full
power assist.
Climate Control (HVAC System)
Your Hybrid vehicle uses automatic temperature control
(ATC) HVAC system with specialized components. This
HVAC system utilizes a humidity sensor, cabin infrared
(IR) sensor, sun sensor, and ambient temperature sensor
to choose operation mode and control cabin comfort.
Your Hybrid vehicle also uses a heater auxiliary pump to
provide heat to the cabin while the vehicle is in electric
mode. The electrically driven AC compressor is not
connected to the engine like a standard gas vehicle. These
components allow the control to operate the HVAC
system in a very efficient manner to save fuel.
NOTE: It is recommended the vehicle be operated with
the air conditioning (AC) on in high ambient tempera-
tures as the high voltage battery is cooled by the cabin air.
Driving To Achieve Maximum Fuel Economy
Your fuel economy should improve throughout your
Hybrid vehicle’s break-in period. As with any vehicle,
fuel economy can be significantly impacted by your
driving style and accessory usage. For best results, keep
in mind the following:
Tire Inflation
Keep tires properly inflated and only use the recom-
mended size. Refer to “Tire and Loading Information
Placard” under “Tires Safety Information” in Section 5 of
your Owner’s Manual.
Driving Style
Aggressive driving increases the amount of energy re-
quired to move your vehicle. In general, better fuel
economy is achieved with mild to moderate acceleration
and deceleration.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 11

Moderate braking is particularly important since it al-
lows you to maximize the energy converted and stored
from the vehicle’s momentum by the Regenerative Brak-
ing System (RBS).
Additional Tips:
•
Observe posted speed limits.
•
Do not carry extra loads, when it is not necessary.
•
Perform all scheduled maintenance.

High Voltage Battery
Your Hybrid vehicle is equipped with a maintenance free
Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH) battery rated at approxi-
mately 300-Volts. The high voltage battery is located
under the second row seat.
The high voltage battery has an internal electric fan and
an interior air inlet to keep the battery cool.
High Voltage Battery Location
Air Inlet
14 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
•
Be sure to keep the battery air inlet vent (located
within the interior of the vehicle along the front of the
second row seats) free from blockage to avoid over-
heating the high voltage battery.
•
Stow all cargo, parcels, and luggage securely fastened
in the rear of vehicle and not along the second row seat
floor.
If your vehicle is parked for 2–3 months, the high voltage
battery will discharge gradually. To keep the high voltage
battery in good operating condition, drive the vehicle at
least once every several months for a minimum of
30 minutes or 10 miles (16 km) or until the high voltage
battery has been completely recharged. Refer to “Hybrid
Gauge” and “Hybrid Energy Center” in Section 4 of this
supplement for further information.
If the high voltage battery becomes fully discharged and
the vehicle will not start, refer to “Jump-Starting Proce-
dures” in Section 6 of this supplement. If the engine fails
to start after following the appropriate “Jump-Starting
Procedures” see your authorized dealer.
Disposal of High Voltage Battery
Your vehicle’s high voltage battery is designed to last the
life of your vehicle. Should the battery require replace-
ment, see your authorized dealer for information on the
disposal of the high voltage battery, or on the internet at
http://www.high-voltage-battery-recycling.com
High Voltage Battery Service Disconnect
The high voltage battery service disconnect is located
behind a trim panel on the driver’s side second row seat.
If your vehicle requires service see your authorized
dealer.
NOTE: Always make sure the trim panel is securely
attached at all times.

WARNING!
Never try to remove the high voltage service discon-
nect. The high voltage service disconnect is used
when your vehicle requires service by a trained
technician at an authorized dealer. Failure to follow
this warning can cause severe burns or electrical
shock that may result in serious injury or death.
Charge Assist — High Voltage Battery
The “Charge Assist” procedure allows you to charge the
high voltage battery using the 12-Volt battery system. If
the high voltage battery’s state of charge is too low and
the engine will not crank, the MyGIG radio will display
a “Charge Insufficient” message. For additional informa-
tion, refer to the “Charge Assist Procedure — High
Voltage Battery” in Section 6 of this supplement.
In The Event Of An Accident
If your Hybrid vehicle is involved in an accident, if
possible, pull the vehicle off the road to a safe location,
put the shift lever in PARK and remove the ignition key.
NOTE:
•
If your vehicle is involved in an accident causing the
airbags to deploy, your vehicle will not start. See your
authorized dealer.
•
If your vehicle needs to be towed, always use a flatbed
truck. For additional information, refer to “Towing A
Disabled Vehicle” in Section 6 of this supplement.
16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
•
In order to avoid personal injuries or death, DO
NOT TOUCH ANY EXPOSED HIGH VOLTAGE
WIRING (ORANGE COLORED) inside or outside
of your vehicle, an electric shock may occur.
NEVER TOUCH THE ELECTRIC WIRING.
•
If fluid is leaking on the ground or leaks in some
parts of the vehicle, never touch it because it may
be Electrolyte (strong alkali) from the high voltage

ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS
Using the vehicles accessories (radio, video system or
power outlets) can discharge the 12-Volt battery, degrade
the battery life and/or prevent the vehicle from starting.
It is recommended to limit the use of the ACC mode to
approximately 15 minutes to avoid discharging the 12-
Volt battery. Refer to “Electric Power Outlets” in Section 3
of the Owner’s Manual for more information on using the
Electrical Power Outlets.
NOTE:
•
If the voltage light (located in the instrument cluster)
illuminates when using the accessories, the vehicle
should be started and driven to recharge the 12-Volt
battery. Refer to “Starting and Operating” in Section 5
of this Supplement for further information.
•
All accessories connected to these outlets should be
removed or turned off when the vehicle is not in use to
protect the 12-Volt battery against discharge.
CAUTION!
•
Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle’s 12-Volt battery, even
when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Even-
tually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s
battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade bat-
tery life and/or prevent engine starting.
•
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will discharge the
12-Volt battery even more quickly. Only use these
intermittently and with greater caution.
•
After the use of high power draw accessories or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle’s batteries.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION
1. Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows the level of fuel in the tank when
ignition switch is in the ON position.
2. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature. Any reading within the normal range indicates
that the cooling system is operating satisfactory. The
temperature gauge will likely indicate a high tempera-
ture when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, in
heavy traffic or when towing a trailer. If the temperature
gauge rises to the “H” mark, stop the vehicle, and shift
into NEUTRAL, press the TOW/HAUL button and in-
crease engine speed for two to three minutes. If the
temperature reading does not return to normal, see your
authorized dealer for service immediately.
CAUTION!

15. Shift Lever Indicator
The electronic shift lever indicator is self-contained
within the instrument cluster. It displays the position of
the transmission shift lever, and the relation of each
position to all other positions. For a good signal the
display will place a box around the selected transmission
range (PRND21). If the PRND21 displays all characters
boxed, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.
16. Trip Odometer
The trip odometer shows an individual trip mileage. To
switch from odometer to trip odometer, press and release
the trip odometer button.
To reset the trip odometer, display the trip odometer then
push and hold the TRIP button until the display resets
(approximately two seconds).
Engine Run Time
Engine run time shows the elapsed time that the gasoline
engine has run. While viewing the odometer reading
press and hold the TRIP button for approximately eight
seconds and the engine run time will be displayed.
Vehicle Warning Messages
For non-Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
equipped vehicles, when the appropriate conditions ex-
ist, messages such as “door ajar” (indicates that a door(s)
may be ajar), “gASCAP” (which indicates that your gas
cap is possibly loose or damaged), CHANgE OIL”⬙
(indicates that the engine oil should be changed), “Lo-
WASH” (low washer fluid), and “noFUSE” (indicates
that the IOD fuse is removed from the Integrated Power
Module), will display in the odometer.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with an EVIC, most
warnings will display in the EVIC. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Overhead Console With Electronic

The outside temperature will display in the odometer for
non-EVIC equipped vehicles. Pressing the trip odometer
RESET button toggles the feature back to the odometer.
Change Oil Message
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The “Change Oil” message will flash in
the instrument cluster odometer for approximately
12 seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate
the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil
change indicator system is duty cycle based, which
means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate
dependent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN
position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and
release the Trip Odometer button on the instrument

2. Fully press the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times
within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary repeat this procedure.
17. Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has
been driven.
28 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
21. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
This light informs you of a problem with the
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. If a
problem is detected, the light will come on
while the engine is running. If the light remains
on with the engine running your vehicle will usually be
drivable, however, see your authorized dealer for service
as soon as possible. If the light is flashing when the
engine is running, immediate service is required and you
may experience reduced performance, an elevated/
rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require
towing. The light will illuminate when the ignition is first
turned ON and remain on for 15 seconds as a bulb check.
If the light does not come on during starting, have the
system checked by your authorized dealer.
22. BRAKE Warning Light
The red “BRAKE” warning light will illuminate when the
ignition key is first turned ON, and stay on briefly as a
bulb check. If the bulb does not illuminate on start-up,
have the bulb repaired promptly. If the light stays on, it
may be an indication that the parking brake has not been
released, or there is a low brake fluid level. If the light
remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged,
and the fluid level is at the full mark on the master
cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic
system malfunction or a problem with the brake booster.
In this case, the light will remain on until the condition
has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake
booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake.
If the parking brake is applied, the light will flash when
the shift lever is out of PARK for automatic transmis-
sions.
If the light comes on while driving, pull over immedi-
ately. Do not drive the vehicle. Have the vehicle towed to
the nearest authorized dealer.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is neces-
sary. Operating the vehicle in this condition is dangerous!
30 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
23. READY
When the ignition key is turned to the START position,
the “READY” lamp in the cluster will illuminate to
indicate the Hybrid System has “started”. When the
“READY” lamp is illuminated, your Hybrid vehicle can
be driven under electric power even though the internal
combustion engine may not be running.
24. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator
Light/Brake Assist System (BAS) Warning Light
The malfunction lamp for the Electronic Stabil-
ity Program (ESP) is combined with Brake
Assist System (BAS). The yellow “ESP/BAS
Warning Lamp” comes on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position. They should go out
with the engine running. If the “ESP/BAS Warning
Lamp” comes on continuously with the engine running,
a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or the
BAS system. If this light remains on after several ignition
cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles/
kilometers at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see
an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
25. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is part of
an Onboard Diagnostic system (OBD II) which
monitors the emissions and engine/hybrid con-
trol system. If the vehicle is ready for emissions testing
the light will come on when the ignition is first turned
ON and remain on, as a bulb check, until the engine is
started. If the vehicle is not ready for emissions testing
the light will come on when the ignition is first turned
ON and remain on for 15 seconds, then blink for 10 sec-
onds, and remain on until the vehicle is started. If the
bulb does not come on during starting, have the condi-
tion investigated promptly.

If this light comes on and remains on while driving, it
suggests a potential engine control problem and the need
for system service. See your authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Although your vehicle will usually be drivable and not
need towing, see your authorized dealer for service as
soon as possible.
CAUTION!
•
Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause
damage to the engine control system. It also could
affect fuel economy and driveability.
•
If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter
damage and power loss will soon occur. Immedi-
ate service is required. See your authorized dealer
for service immediately.
26. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle
has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those
tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your tires are significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illumi-
nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving
on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
32 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the sys-
tem may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure
as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replace-
ment or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.

CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and
warning have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system opera-
tion or sensor damage may result when using re-
placement equipment that is not of the same size,
type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or
balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a
TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
27. Airbag Warning Light
This indicator illuminates and remains on for
six to eight seconds when the ignition is first
turned ON. If the light does not come on when
the ignition is first turned ON, or the light stays
on or comes on while driving, have the airbag system
checked by an authorized dealer.
28. SVC (Service) 4WD Indicator
The SVC 4WD lights will come on when the ignition key
is turned to the ON position and will stay on for two
seconds. If the light stays on or comes on during driving,
it means that the 4WD system is not functioning properly
and that service is required. See your authorized dealer.
29. Cruise Light (Electronic Speed Control)
This indicator lights when the Electronic Speed Control
system is turned on.
30. Hybrid Regenerative Brake System Light
This yellow light will illuminate for a few
seconds when the ignition is turned to the ON
position as a bulb check. If the light turns on
and remains on while driving, it suggests that
there is a potential problem with the Regenerative Brake
System (RBS) and the need for system service. See your
authorized dealer as soon as possible.

31. TOW/HAUL
The TOW/HAUL button is located at the end of the shift
lever. This light will illuminate when the TOW/HAUL
button has been selected. Refer to “When To Use TOW/
HAUL Mode” under “2-Mode Hybrid Transmission
Ranges” in Section 5 of this supplement for further
information.
32. Odometer/Trip Odometer Button
Press this button to toggle between the odometer and the
trip odometer display. Holding the button in resets the
trip odometer reading.
HYBRID GAUGE
The Hybrid Gauge, located on the instrument cluster, has
three different zones to indicate how the vehicle is being
operated in the sense of fuel savings.
NOTE: Driving with the gauge pointer in the 12 O’clock
(ECONOMY) position is the optimal Hybrid location.
Hybrid Gauge
1 — CHARGING — Indicates that the high voltage battery is being
charged during braking or certain driving conditions.
2 — ECONOMY — Indicates the HEV vehicle is being propelled
forward in electric mode, Hybrid mode or Fuel Saver mode (MDS)
which are the most fuel efficient modes of operation.
3 — POWER — indicates that the accelerator pedal is being applied
for additional power which is not the most fuel efficient mode of
operation.
