HEADLAMPS – FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is there condensation in the
headlamps?

•

Headlamps have vents to
accommodate normal changes in air
pressure. Condensation can be a
natural by-product of this design.
When moist air enters the lamp
assembly through the vents, there is a
possibility that condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a fine
mist can form on the interior of the
lens. The fine mist eventually clears
and exits through the vents during
normal operation.

How much condensation is
acceptable?

•

The presence of a fine mist, for
example no streaks, drip marks or large
droplets. A fine mist covers less than
50% of the lens.

How long does it take for the
acceptable condensation to clear?

•

Clearing time can take as long as 48
hours under dry weather conditions.

How much condensation is
unacceptable?

•

A water puddle inside the lamp.
Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.

What should I do if unacceptable
condensation is present?

•

Have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.

Why do my headlamps turn off
when I have them switched on
when I switch my vehicle off?

•

The battery saver turns the headlamps
off after a short period of time after you
switch your vehicle off.

AUTOLAMPS

WHAT ARE AUTOLAMPS

WARNING:

The system does not

relieve you of your responsibility to drive
with due care and attention. You may
need to override the system if it does not
turn the headlamps on in low visibility
conditions, for example daytime fog.

Autolamps turn the headlamps on in low
light situations or when the windshield
wipers operate.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL

HOW DOES AUTOMATIC HIGH
BEAM CONTROL WORK

Automatic high beam control turns the
high beams on if it is dark enough and no
other traffic is present. If it detects an
approaching vehicle’s headlamps or tail
lamps, or street lighting ahead, the system
turns the high beams off.

A camera sensor, centrally mounted
behind the windshield of your vehicle,
continuously monitors conditions to turn
the high beams on and off.

driving is affected by such as:
•

Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking.

•

Your vehicle's speed.

•

Use of accessories, such as climate
control.

•

Ambient temperature and weather
conditions.

•

Driving in a city or on a highway.

•

It is normal for vehicle range

estimates to vary due to changes in average
energy usage. This could cause different
range estimates each time you fully charge
your battery or fill your tank.

FUEL ECONOMY DISPLAY -
FULL HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE (FHEV)/PLUG-IN
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
(PHEV)

This display comes with an instant fuel
economy gauge, along with the average
fuel economy. The gauge continuously
averages the fuel economy since your last
reset.

For plug-in hybrid vehicles, the system
includes both the electric only and the
hybrid operation in the calculation. More
electric only driving results in a greater
average fuel economy.

When the gasoline engine is off, changes
from the instant fuel economy gauge to an
electric driving message.

Note:

Press and hold the

button on the

controls on the steering wheel to reset your
average fuel economy.

Note:

Fuel economy display is a selectable

screen. See

Customizing the Instrument

Cluster Display

(page 116). See

(page 117).

FUEL ECONOMY DISPLAY -
EXCLUDING: FULL HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (FHEV)/
PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE (PHEV)

An instant fuel economy gauge is provided
along with average fuel economy. Average
fuel economy is continuously averaged
since the last reset.

Note:

Press and hold the

button on the

controls on the steering wheel to reset your
average fuel economy.

EV COACH

EV coach can help you get the most out of
your vehicle's electric driving capabilities.

Note:

EV coach is a selectable screen.

When you are accelerating or maintaining
speed you see a blue or white solid bar
indicating vehicle power. You may also see
a blue rectangular box which shows the
power level at which the engine turns on.

•

When the power level is within the box,
the color of the bar is blue. This means
you are in electric operation and the
engine is off.

•

When the power level is outside of the
box, the color of the bar is white. This
means you are in hybrid operation with
a combination of the electric motor
and the engine providing vehicle power.

118

Instrument Cluster Display

When you are decelerating with either your
foot off the accelerator pedal or on the
brake pedal, a green or white solid bar
displays indicating the power being used
to slow down your vehicle. You may also
see a green rectangular box which shows
the amount of power that can be
recaptured by the regenerative braking
system and returned to the high voltage
battery.

•

When the power level is within the box,
the color of the bar is green. This
means that the regenerative braking
system is being used to efficiently slow
your vehicle down and return the
maximum percentage of energy to the
high voltage battery.

•

When the power level is outside of the
box, the color of the bar is white. This
means both the regenerative braking
system and conventional braking
system are being used.

ELECTRIC ECONOMY

This screen shows your average driving
distance per kilowatt-hour of electricity
used on your plug-in hybrid vehicle. The
value is calculated only when your
available electric range is being used and
the gasoline engine is off.

Distance per full charge is also shown. This
is an estimate of the electric range you
would have if you plugged in and fully
charged your vehicle right now. The higher
your electric economy, the higher your
distance per full charge.

Your electric economy is affected by your
driving style and route, climate control use,
outside temperature and other factors.
Best economy is achieved with mild to
moderate acceleration and braking,
moderate speeds and low climate control
usage.

Note:

Electric economy is a selectable

screen. See

Customizing the Instrument

Cluster Display

(page 116). See

Customizing the Instrument Cluster
Display

(page 117).

BATTERY CHARGE

Displays a high voltage battery gauge and
an estimate of available electric driving
range. The high voltage battery gauge
displays the total amount of charge
associated with your available electric only
driving range. A full fill represents the total
amount of energy you can get from an
external charge (plugging your vehicle in).
When the fill reaches empty the powertrain
system will automatically switch to hybrid
operation. See

How Does a Plug-In

Hybrid Electric Vehicle Work

(page 181).

BRAKE COACH

The brake coach appears after your vehicle
has come to a stop. It coaches you to brake
in a manner that maximizes the amount
of energy returned through the
regenerative braking system.

The percent displayed indicates the
regenerative braking efficiency, with 100%
representing the maximum amount of
energy recovered.

Note:

While regenerative braking works in

all drive modes, brake coach display may
not be available in all drive modes.

You can switch brake coach on or off in the
settings menu. See

Instrument Cluster

Display Main Menu

(page 115).

TRIP SUMMARY

The trip summary displays upon shutting
off your vehicle. The values are cumulative
since you last started your vehicle.
