recharging the hybrid battery.
See Charge/Assist Gage on page 4-36 for more
information.
1-22
This light comes on to

See Fuel Economy Light on page 4-37.
This light can be enabled or disabled. See DIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 4-45.
Automatic Engine Start/Stop
Feature
Automatic Engine Start/Stop
United States
The vehicle has an automatic engine start/stop feature.
After the engine is started and has reached operating
temperature, the AUTO STOP feature may cause
the engine to turn off when you apply the brakes and
come to a complete stop. When you take your foot
off the brake pedal or press the accelerator pedal, the
engine will start. The engine will continue to run until the
next AUTO STOP.
Canada
To restart the engine during the AUTO STOP, release
the brake pedal or press the accelerator pedal. The
engine starts immediately. The vehicle continues to run
until the next stop.
The AUTO STOP symbol on the tachometer signifies
that the engine is in AUTO STOP mode. See Auto StopMode on page 4-36 for more information. A chime
will sound when the driver door is opened while in AUTO
STOP mode. Remember to shift to P (Park) and turn
the ignition to LOCK/OFF before exiting the vehicle.
See Starting the Engine (Automatic Engine Start/Stop)on page 3-22.
Regenerative Braking
Regenerative braking takes some of the energy from
the moving vehicle and turns it back into electrical
energy. This energy is then stored back into the
vehicle’s hybrid battery system, contributing to increased
fuel efficiency.
The system works whenever you take your foot off the
accelerator pedal while the vehicle is moving in a
forward gear. This causes the vehicle to slow down
more quickly. It may feel like the brake pedal is being
pressed, even when it is not.
1-23
Battery
This vehicle has a standard 12-volt battery and a 36-volt
hybrid battery system.
The 36-volt battery is located behind the rear seat, in
the trunk. If the vehicle is to be stored for an extended
period of time, it should be driven at least every two
months or the 36-volt hybrid battery can be permanently
damaged. If a new 36-volt hybrid battery system is
needed, see your dealer/retailer. For important
information about the 36-volt hybrid battery, see Batteryon page 6-34.
Service
Never try to do your own service on hybrid components.
You can be injured and the vehicle can be damaged
if you try to do your own service work. Service and
repair of these hybrid components should only be
performed by a trained service technician with the
proper knowledge and tools. See Doing Your Own
Service Work on page 6-4

This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS).
The Tire Pressure Monitor
alerts you when a
significant reduction in
pressure occurs in one or
more of the vehicle’s
tires by illuminating the low
tire pressure warning
light on the instrument
cluster.
The warning light will remain on until the tire pressure is
corrected. The proper tire pressures for your vehicle
are listed on the Tire and Loading Information label
located on the driver side center pillar (B pillar). See
Loading the Vehicle on page 5-20.
You may notice during cooler conditions that the low tire
pressure warning light will appear when the vehicle is
first started and then turn off as you drive. This may be
an early indicator that your tire pressures are getting
low and the tires need to be inflated to the proper
pressure.
1-25
Note: The Tire Pressure Monitor can alert you about
low tire pressure, but it does not replace normal monthly
tire maintenance. It is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressures.
See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 6-51 and
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation on page 6-52.
Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit
This vehicle has a tire sealant and compressor kit which
can be used to seal small punctures in the tread area
of the tire.
See Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit on page 6-66 for
complete operating information.
Engine Oil Life System
The engine oil life system calculates engine oil life
based on vehicle use and displays a DIC message when
it is necessary to change the engine oil and filter. The
oil life system should be reset to 100% only following an
oil change.
Resetting the Oil Life System
1. Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN with the
engine off.
2. With the CHANGE OIL SOON message displayed,
press either of the DIC buttons to clear the
message. See DIC Warnings and Messages onpage 4-41.
3. Display OIL LIFE RESET on the DIC.
4. Press and hold the INFO button for at least one
second. An ACKNOWLEDGED message displays
for three seconds or until the next button is pressed.
This tells you the system has been reset. See
DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 4-45.
5. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF.
