The Remote Keyless Entry transmitter (key fob) must be in the
passenger cabin to power on the vehicle.
STARTING
THE VEHICLE –
POWER ON
With the vehicle in
Park or Neutral,
press the brake
pedal and then

POWER button.
The indicator on
the button will
illuminate green.
When the vehicle is ready to be driven, the
READY icon will
appear on the cluster display.
Note: If the key fob battery is weak, place the key fob in the rear cupholder
in the center console to enable the vehicle to start. Replace the key fob
battery as soon as possible.

See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
MAXIMIZING RANGE
A number of factors influence energy use and electric range.
Here are a few factors that impact driving range:
Technique – Avoid rapid acceleration or braking. Higher speeds
use more energy and significantly reduce range.
Terrain – Varying road conditions, such as hills, rain, snow, and
wind, impact range.
Climate Settings – The energy needed to warm or cool the
vehicle’s cabin and propulsion battery can cause range to
decline. Turning off the Heat and A/C settings will increase
efficiency.
Outside Temperature – Hotter or colder air has an effect on
vehicle aerodynamics and range.
POWER INDICATOR GAUGE
The cluster display
features a power
indicator gauge to
help track energy
use and extend
battery range. When
the power indicator
gauge is green, you
are driving efficiently.
Avoid driving that
turns the gauge amber,
indicating excessive
power use.
