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-V olt battery and may degrade the bat- tery life and/or prevent the vehicle fr om starting. For information on using the vehicles accessories (radio, video system or power outlets) refer to “Electr[...]

HYBRID SYSTEM OPERA TION Y our Hybrid vehicle combines the power of a gasoline engine and electric motors to minimize fuel consumption and emissions. This vehicle requir es no special fuels and never has to be plugged in to rechar ge. Understanding the unique characteristics of your vehicle will help ensure maximum performance and best fuel economy[...]

CAUTION! Car wash equipment damage, vehicle damage or a potential accident event could result if the car wash facility instructions for P ARK, NEUTRAL, DRIVE and REVERSE are not followed. Hybrid V ehicle Operating Characteristics Y our Hybrid vehicle operates differ ently compared to a Non-Hybrid vehicle. The following is a description of the major[...]

function. The brake pedal has a lighter effort (longer travel) than during normal driving but provides full power assist. Climate Control (HV AC System) Y our Hybrid vehicle uses automatic temperature contr ol (A TC) HV AC system with specialized components. This HV AC system utilizes a humidity sensor , cabin infrared (IR) sensor , sun sensor , an[...]

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

Additional Hybrid System electrical components: • Electric Power Steering Pump (12-V olt) • Electric A/C Compressor W ARNING! Y our vehicle has both a high voltage DC and AC system as well as a 12-V olt system.

• Depending on the condition of the second running vehicles alternator and the number of accessories operating on both vehicles, it could take up to 60 min- utes to charge the high voltage battery . T o minimize the charging time ensur e that a minimum amount of accessories are being used. Always wear eye protection and r emove all metal jewelry [...]

5. Connect the negative cable clamp of the 12-V olt bat- tery charger to the r emote negative post located near the driver’s side fender underhood. W ARNING! During cold weather when temperatures are below freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged battery may freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could rupture or explode. The[...]

CAUTION! Charging the high voltage battery at a rate higher then 70 Amps could damage the 12-V olt battery . 7. If the 12-V olt battery charger has been pr operly con- nected and the system determines that the conditions are correct for char ging, the Navigation radio will display a message “CHARGING in Progr ess”. CAUTION! Do not leave the veh[...]

NOTE: • T o minimize the charging time, it is r ecommended to leave the key in the OFF position while in the “CHARGING in Progr ess” mode, however the key may be turned to the ON/RUN position to use an accessory . • Do not use the accessory mode for a long period of time, since the charging system will not maintain either the 12-V olt or hi[...]

CAUTION! Be careful of the moving belt and fan blades. 10. Remove the 12-V olt battery charger positive clamp. NOTE: Allow the vehicle to idle for a minimum of 10 minutes before attempting to drive. W ARNING! Any procedure other than above could result in: • Personal injury caused by electrolyte squirting out the battery vent. • Personal injury[...]

“Charge Assist” can be aborted by the following items: • The key is turned to the ST ART position while the system is being charged. • Incorrect installation of the 12-V olt battery charger . • Poor cable clamp contact. • The Hybrid Control Module determines conditions ar e not suitable for charging. If the “Charge Aborted” message [...]

2. Park the booster vehicle within cable reach but with- out letting the vehicles touch. Set the parking brake, place the shift lever in P ARK and turn the ignition OFF on both vehicles. 3.
