HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE

INFORMATION – FREQUENTLY

ASKED QUESTIONS

How long is the high voltage battery

system designed to last?

The high voltage battery system is
designed to last the life of your vehicle.

Does the high voltage battery require

maintenance?

The high voltage battery does not
require maintenance.

What should I do if the vehicle runs out

of fuel and the high voltage battery is

out of charge?

Refuel and start your vehicle normally.
The engine will recharge the high
voltage battery.

Why does the engine sometimes start

at key-on?

The vehicle's computer will determine
if an engine start is required at key-on.
It starts the engine when necessary for
cabin heating, windshield defrost, or if
the outside temperature is low.

Can I put E15 or E85 in my vehicle, and

how will it affect my fuel economy?

Your hybrid vehicle can use E15 (15%
ethanol, 85% gasoline) fuel, but you
may notice slightly reduced fuel
economy because ethanol contains
less energy per gallon than gasoline.
Your hybrid vehicle is not designed to
use E85 (85% ethanol).

Why does it take a long time before the

engine shuts down?

There are several reasons the engine
stays on for an extended amount of
time when you first start it. One
common reason is to make sure that
the emissions components are warm
enough to minimize tailpipe emission.
As the climate gets cooler, the
engine-on time is extended.

Why does my engine stay on when it is

extremely cold outside?

In order to make sure that the climate
control system can begin heating the
cabin or defrosting the windshield as
soon as a driver requests it, the engine
coolant temperature has to be kept
sufficiently hot. Keeping the engine on
is required to maintain the correct
coolant temperature.

PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC

VEHICLE INFORMATION

WHAT IS A PLUG-IN HYBRID

ELECTRIC VEHICLE

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle combines
a gasoline engine with an electric motor
and rechargeable high voltage battery
allowing you to use only electricity to
power your vehicle.

HOW DOES A PLUG-IN HYBRID

ELECTRIC VEHICLE WORK

Charging your vehicle adds electrical
energy that propels the vehicle. Regularly
plug in your vehicle to get optimal
electric-only range capability from the high
voltage battery. The system maximizes the
use of electric-only operation in normal
drive mode whenever possible. System
conditions could require the engine to
operate when necessary.

When the electric-only range reaches zero,
the powertrain system switches to hybrid
operation. This means that you have
depleted the energy you gained from
plugging in and charging your vehicle. Both
the gasoline engine and electric motor
power your vehicle and maximize fuel
economy during hybrid operation. You
receive some electric-only driving with
hybrid operation as the powertrain system
maintains the high voltage battery charge
within functional limits.

PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC

VEHICLE DRIVING

CHARACTERISTICS

The gasoline engine starts and stops to
provide power when required and to save
fuel when not needed. Restarting your
vehicle is not required. Simply step on the
accelerator when you are ready to drive.
When coasting at low speeds, coming to
a stop or standing, the gas engine normally
shuts down and your vehicle operates in
electric-only mode.

Conditions that may cause the gasoline
engine to start or remain running include:

•

Considerable vehicle acceleration.

•

Driving uphill.

•

The high voltage battery charge level
is low.

•

Heating or cooling the vehicle interior
in high or low outside temperatures.

•

The gasoline engine is below normal
operating temperature.

•

Towing a trailer.

•

Certain drive modes could cause the
engine to run. See

Drive Mode

Control

(page 257).

Note:

Having your engine running is not

always an indication of inefficiency. In some
cases, it is actually more efficient than
driving in electric mode.

Your plug-in hybrid electric vehicle has
several EV drive modes to enhance your
driving experience. See

Selecting a

Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Drive

Mode

(page 259).

Your hybrid vehicle also comes with
standard hydraulic braking and
regenerative braking. Regenerative braking
is performed by your transmission and
captures brake energy and stores it in the
high voltage battery.

181

Hybrid Electric Vehicle Information

(If Equipped)

You could also notice that your engine
continues to run instead of shutting off
during extended downhill driving. The
engine stays on during this engine braking
but is not using any fuel.

You could also hear a slight whine or
whistle when operating your vehicle. This
is the normal operation of the electric
motor in the hybrid system.

PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC

VEHICLE INDICATORS

E293827

When you start your vehicle, a
green ready indicator light
appears in the instrument cluster

letting you know that your vehicle is ready
for driving.

The engine may not start because your
vehicle has a silent key start feature. This
fuel saving feature allows your vehicle to
be ready to drive without requiring the gas
engine to be running.

The indicator remains on when your vehicle
is on, whether the engine is running or not,
to indicate your vehicle is capable of
movement using the electric motor, gas
engine or both.

Typically, the engine does not start unless
the vehicle is cold, a climate control
change is requested or you press the
accelerator pedal.

WHAT IS LOW ENGINE USE MODE

Low engine use mode maintains proper
engine lubrication at sufficient temperature
and activates when you drive your vehicle
with limited engine operation.

HOW DOES LOW ENGINE USE

MODE WORK

When in low engine use mode, your vehicle
runs the engine as necessary. When low
engine use mode begins, a message
appears in the information display. If low
engine use mode does not complete
before you switch your vehicle off, it
continues the next time you start your
vehicle and the message reappears.

Note:

EV now mode is not available when

in low engine use mode.

Note:

Cold temperatures affect the engine

warm up time and the low engine use mode
may operate more frequently.

Note:

An oil change is not required but gives

you the option of not running a low engine
use cycle. Resetting the oil life monitoring
system suspends the low engine use mode.

FUEL AND REFUELING

PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Do not overfill the fuel

tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank
may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray
and fire.

WARNING:

The fuel system may

be under pressure. If you hear a hissing
sound near the fuel filler inlet, do not
refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise,
fuel may spray out, which could cause
serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Fuels can cause serious

injury or death if misused or mishandled.

WARNING:

Fuel may contain

benzene, which is a cancer-causing
agent.

WARNING:

When refueling always

shut the engine off and never allow
sparks or open flames near the fuel tank
filler valve. Never smoke or use a cell
phone while refueling. Fuel vapor is
extremely hazardous under certain
conditions. Avoid inhaling excess fumes.

WARNING:

Read and follow all the

instructions on the pump island.

Follow these guidelines when refueling:

•

Extinguish all smoking materials and
any open flames before refueling your
vehicle.

•

Switch the engine off before refueling.

•

Automotive fuels can be harmful or
fatal if swallowed. Fuel is highly toxic
and if swallowed can cause death or
permanent injury. If fuel is swallowed
immediately call a physician, even if no
symptoms are immediately apparent.
The toxic effects of fuel may not be
apparent for hours.

•

Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling fuel
vapor can lead to eye and respiratory
tract irritation. In severe cases,
excessive or prolonged breathing of
fuel vapor can cause serious illness and
permanent injury.

•

Avoid getting fuel in your eyes. If you
splash fuel in your eyes, immediately
remove contact lenses, if worn, flush
with water for 15 minutes and seek
medical attention. Failure to seek
proper medical attention could lead to
permanent injury.

•

Fuels can be harmful if absorbed
through the skin. If you splash fuel on
your skin, clothing or both, promptly
remove contaminated clothing and
thoroughly wash your skin with soap
and water. Repeated or prolonged skin
contact causes skin irritation.

•

FUEL QUALITY

SELECTING THE CORRECT FUEL
Choosing the Right Fuel

E161513

Your vehicle operates on regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum pump (R+M)/2
octane rating of 87.

Some fuel stations, particularly those in
high altitude areas, offer fuels posted as
regular unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating below 87. The use of these fuels
could result in engine damage that will not
be covered by the vehicle warranty.

For best overall vehicle and engine
performance, premium fuel with an octane
rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The
performance gained by using premium fuel
is most noticeable in hot weather as well
as other conditions, for example when
towing a trailer.

Do not be concerned if the engine
sometimes knocks lightly. However, if the
engine knocks heavily while using fuel with
the recommended octane rating, contact
an authorized dealer to prevent any engine
damage.

We recommend Top Tier detergent
gasolines, where available to help minimize
engine deposits and maintain optimal
vehicle and engine performance. For
additional information, refer to
www.toptiergas.com.

Note:

Use of any fuel for which the vehicle

was not designed can impair the emission
control system, cause loss of vehicle
performance, and cause damage to the
engine which may not be covered by the
vehicle Warranty.

Do not use:

•

Diesel fuel.

•

Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.

•

Fuel containing more than 15% ethanol
or E85 fuel.

•

Fuels containing methanol.

•

Fuels containing metallic-based
additives, including manganese-based
compounds.

•

Fuels containing the octane booster
additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).

•

Leaded fuel, using leaded fuel is
prohibited by law.

The use of fuels with metallic compounds
such as methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (commonly known
as MMT), which is a manganese-based
fuel additive, will impair engine
performance and affect the emission
control system.
