Starting and Operating Your Vehicle Starting the Vehicle Auto Stop The vehicle has an Auto Stop feature. After a successful engine start, the engine may turn off and operate in the Auto Stop mode. Some of the vehicle conditions that allow the engine to stop running and enter the Auto Stop mode are: { WARNING: . Ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position. . The hood is closed.
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal until you are ready for the vehicle to move. . The hybrid battery voltage, temperature or power limits are exceeded. Engine OFF and AUTO STOP modes are indicated on the tachometer display. When the tachometer needle indicates OFF, the engine is not running and will remain off until the ignition key is placed in the START position or a remote vehicle start is performed.
Automatic Transmission Operation The vehicle has an electronic shift position indicator within the instrument panel cluster. There are several different positions for the shift lever. See “Range Selection Mode” later in this section. P (Park) : This position locks the rear wheels. It is the best position to use when you start the engine because the vehicle cannot move easily.
{ WARNING: { WARNING: If you have Four-Wheel Drive, the vehicle will be free to roll — even if the shift lever is in P (Park) — if the transfer case is in Neutral. So, be sure the transfer case is in a drive gear, Two-Wheel Drive High or Four-Wheel Drive High or Four-Wheel Drive Low — not in Neutral. See “Shifting Into Park” in the Owner Manual. Shifting into a drive gear while the engine is running at high speed is dangerous.
Downshifting the transmission in slippery road conditions could result in skidding. See “Skidding” under “Loss of Control” in the owner manual for more information. Range Selection Mode When temperatures are very cold, the transmission's gear shifting may be delayed, providing more stable shifts until the engine warms up. Shifts may be more noticeable with a cold transmission. This difference in shifting is normal.
The vehicle can automatically shift to lower gears as it adjusts to driving conditions. When 3 (Third) is selected, 1 (First) through 3 (Third) gears are automatically shifted by the vehicle, but 4 (Fourth) cannot be used until it is selected. In the M1 gear range, effective engine braking occurs at speeds above 10 mph (16 km/h). The Range Selection Mode controls the vehicle and engine speed while driving down a hill or towing a trailer, by allowing you to select a desired range of gears.
To Use the Engine Coolant Heater 1. Turn off the engine. 2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord. The cord is secured to a wiring harness between the engine and the Hybrid Auxiliary Underhood Fuse Block with a clip. Carefully remove the wire tie which secures the electrical cord. Do not cut the electrical cord. 3. Plug the cord into a normal, grounded 110-volt AC outlet. { WARNING: Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet could cause an electrical shock.
Regenerative Braking Running the Vehicle While Parked Regenerative braking is a hybrid technology that enables the electric drive motor to operate as a generator when coasting or braking. Energy from the moving vehicle recharges the hybrid battery. It is better not to park with the engine running. But if you ever have to, here are some things to know. The hydraulic disc brakes work with the regenerative braking to insure effective braking, such as when a high braking demand is requested.

Tachometer Charging System Light This 12 V battery light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, but the engine is not running, as a check to show it is working. United States Version shown, Canada similar When the gas engine is off and the key is in the ON/ RUN position, the position of the tachometer indicator shows the state of the vehicle: . AUTO STOP position indicates that the vehicle is still able to move and the engine could restart, by an Auto Start, at any time. .
Fuel Economy Gage White Zones : Decreased fuel efficiency driving behavior makes the indicator display in the two white zones. The indicator in the white zone on the left side of the gage indicates decreased fuel efficiency with a large amount of decelerations. The indicator in the white zone on the right side of the gage indicates decreased fuel efficiency with a large amount of accelerations.
This light also comes on due to low brake fluid. See the owner manual for more information. { WARNING: The brake system might not be working properly if the brake system warning light is on. Driving with the brake system warning light on can lead to a crash. If the light is still on after the vehicle has been pulled off the road and carefully stopped, have the vehicle towed for service. United States Canada This light should come on briefly when the ignition key is turned to ON/RUN.
Antilock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light For vehicles with the Antilock Brake System (ABS), this light comes on briefly when the engine is in ON/RUN. That is normal. If the light does not come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn if there is a problem. If the ABS light stays on, turn the ignition off, if the light comes on while driving, stop as soon as it is safely possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the system.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gage United States Canada This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. It also provides an indicator of how hard the vehicle is working. During a majority of the operation, the gage reads 210°F (100°C) or less. If a load is being pulled or going up hills, it is normal for the temperature to fluctuate and go over the 235°F (113°C) mark. However, if the gage reaches the 260°F (125°C) mark, it indicates that the cooling system is working beyond its capacity.
{ WARNING: Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is low. The engine can become so hot that it catches fire. Someone could be burned. Check the oil as soon as possible and have the vehicle serviced. Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance can damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Always follow the maintenance schedule in this manual for changing engine oil.
If the light comes on and stays on, it means that oil is not flowing through the engine properly. The vehicle could be low on oil and might have some other system problem. During an AUTO STOP there is zero oil pressure, but this light will not come on. Listed are four situations that may occur with the fuel gage, none of these indicate a problem: . At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off before the gage reads F (full). . It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the fuel gage indicated.

How to Check Automatic Transmission Fluid Notice: Too much or too little fluid can damage your transmission. Too much can mean that some of the fluid could come out and fall on hot engine parts or exhaust system parts, starting a fire. Too little fluid could cause the transmission to overheat. Be sure to get an accurate reading if you check your transmission fluid. Before checking the fluid level, prepare the vehicle as follows: 1. Start the engine and park the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Install the dipstick by pushing it back in all the way, wait three seconds, and then pull it back out again. 4. Check both sides of the dipstick and read the lower level. Repeat the check procedure to verify the reading. Hot Check Procedure Use this procedure to check the transmission fluid level when the transmission fluid temperature is between 60°C and 75°C (140°F and 167°F). The hot check is the most accurate method to check the fluid level.
Consistency of Readings Always check the fluid level at least twice using the procedure described previously. Consistency (repeatable readings) is important to maintaining proper fluid level. If readings are still inconsistent, contact your dealer/retailer. Drive Motor/Generator Control Module (DMCM) Coolant Surge Tank Pressure Cap 5. Safe operating level is within the HOT cross hatch band on the dipstick.
The Drive Motor/Generator Control Module (DMCM) coolant surge tank pressure cap must be fully installed on the hybrid coolant surge tank. When you decide it is safe to lift the hood, here is what you will see: Notice: If the pressure cap is not tightly installed, coolant loss and possible damage to the Drive Motor/Generator Control Module (DMCM) may occur. Be sure the cap is properly and tightly secured.
If the coolant inside the DMCM coolant surge tank is boiling, do not do anything else until it cools down. The coolant level should be at or above the FULL COLD mark with the vehicle parked on a level surface. If it is not, there might be a leak at the DMCM cooler core, DMCM pressure cap, DMCM cooler hoses, DMCM cooling pump or somewhere else in the DMCM cooling system.
{ WARNING: Steam and scalding liquids from a hot cooling system can blow out and burn you badly. They are under pressure, and if you turn the coolant surge tank pressure cap — even a little — they can come out at high speed. Never turn the cap when the cooling system, including the coolant surge tank pressure cap, is hot. Wait for the cooling system and coolant surge tank pressure cap to cool if you ever have to turn the pressure cap.
Turn the DMCM coolant surge tank pressure cap slowly counterclockwise (left) about one full turn. Wait 30 seconds. 5. Add the pre‐mixed DEX‐COOL™, available at your dealer/retailer, until the coolant level is maintained at the FULL COLD mark. This should take no longer than two minutes of hybrid cooling pump operation. If the level cannot be kept at the FULL COLD level, your vehicle may need service. See your dealer/ retailer. 6. Then replace the DMCM coolant surge tank pressure cap.
Power Steering Fluid The vehicle has electric power steering and does not use power steering fluid. There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in the reservoir might go down: . The brake fluid level goes down because of normal brake lining wear. When new linings are installed, the fluid level goes back up. . A fluid leak in the brake hydraulic system can also cause a low fluid level. Have the brake hydraulic system fixed, since a leak means that sooner or later the brakes will not work well.
Do not top off the brake fluid. Adding fluid does not correct a leak. If fluid is added when the linings are worn, there will be too much fluid when new brake linings are installed. Add or remove brake fluid, as necessary, only when work is done on the brake hydraulic system. Checking Brake Fluid Check brake fluid by looking at the brake fluid reservoir. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 6‑4.
What to Add Use only new DOT 3 brake fluid from a sealed container. See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the owner manual. Notice: . Using the wrong fluid can badly damage brake hydraulic system parts. For example, just a few drops of mineral-based oil, such as engine oil, in the brake hydraulic system can damage brake hydraulic system parts so badly that they will have to be replaced. Do not let someone put in the wrong kind of fluid. .
Brake Wear This vehicle has disc brakes. Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads are needed. The sound can come and go or be heard all the time the vehicle is moving, except when applying the brake pedal firmly. { WARNING: The brake wear warning sound means that soon the brakes will not work well. That could lead to an accident. When the brake wear warning sound is heard, have the vehicle serviced.
Replacing Brake System Parts The braking system on a vehicle is complex. Its many parts have to be of top quality and work well together if the vehicle is to have really good braking. The vehicle was designed and tested with top-quality brake parts. When parts of the braking system are replaced — for example, when the brake linings wear down and new ones are installed — be sure to get new approved replacement parts. If this is not done, the brakes might not work properly.
Vehicle Storage Jump Starting { WARNING: { WARNING: Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you are not careful. See Jump Starting on page 6‑18 for tips on working around a battery without getting hurt. Personal injury, death, or damage to the vehicle can result if you try jump starting or using a battery charger on the high voltage hybrid battery. Use only the 12-volt battery for jump starting and charging.
Notice: Ignoring these steps could result in costly damage to the vehicle that would not be covered by the warranty. Trying to start the vehicle by pushing or pulling it will not work, and it could damage the vehicle. 1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12‐volt battery with a negative ground system. Notice: If the other vehicle's system is not a 12-volt system with a negative ground, both vehicles can be damaged. Only use vehicles with 12-volt systems with negative grounds to jump start your vehicle.
{ WARNING: An electric fan can start up even when the engine is not running and can injure you. Keep hands, clothing and tools away from any underhood electric fan. { WARNING: The positive (+) connection is located under a red plastic cover at the positive battery post. To uncover the remote positive (+) terminal, open the red plastic cover. 5. The remote negative (−) is a solid engine ground. Using an open flame near a battery can cause battery gas to explode.
{ WARNING: 7. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle with the dead battery. Use a remote positive (+) if the vehicle has one. Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you badly. Keep your hands away from moving parts once the engine is running. 8. Do not let the other end touch metal. Connect it to the positive (+) terminal of the good battery. Use a remote positive (+) if the vehicle has one. 6.
10. Connect the other end of the negative (−) cable to the remote negative (−) terminal, on the vehicle with the dead battery. Jumper Cable Removal 11. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run the engine for a while. 12. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery. If it will not start after a few tries, it probably needs service. Notice: If the jumper cables are connected or removed in the wrong order, electrical shorting may occur and damage the vehicle.
To disconnect the jumper cables from both vehicles: 1. Disconnect the black negative (−) cable from the vehicle that had the bad battery. 2. Disconnect the black negative (−) cable from the vehicle with the good battery. 3. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable from the vehicle with the good battery. 4. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable from the other vehicle. 5. Return the remote positive (+) terminal cover to its original position.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers and fusible thermal links. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems. information on its location.
