Overall fuel economy is represented as a bar gauge while the red pointer indicates instantaneous fuel economy.
The red bar represents the average fuel economy for this trip since the last reset.
The blue bar represents the instantaneous fuel economy that is reported by the engine.
Press and hold the OK button to reset the distance to empty value and the average miles per gallon/kilometers per liter.
Cruise Control Menu
Note: Standard cruise control is always available, however to use adaptive cruise control, the driver must select one of the three preset distance options. See Fig., items 2, 3, and 4.

Standard Cruise Control
Standard cruise control automatically maintains a desired vehicle speed. Use the cruise control set button on the steering wheel once a desired speed is reached. Pressing the brake pedal or switching the cruise control button to OFF deactivates the system.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive cruise control uses radar to detect vehicles ahead and automatically adjusts the vehicle speed to maintain a safe distance.
When another vehicle is detected, a car appears at the top of the driver display screen along with the speed, distance and estimated time to reach that vehicle. See Fig.. As the other vehicle gets within a set distance, it is highlighted yellow to signal a warning range, and then highlighted red to signal a danger range.
An alarm also activates to notify the driver of the distance between the two vehicles. The driver can select the distance—far, near, or close—when the alarm is triggered. See Fig..
To use adaptive cruise control, use the down arrow on the steering wheel to select 'Cruise Control' from the main menu. Then use the down arrow on the steering wheel to select the alarm distance. See Fig., items 2, 3, and 4. The adaptive cruise control indicator activates in the instrument panel and 'Use Standard CC' appears in the display below the alarm distance options. If the driver wants to use standard cruise control, they can select 'Use Standard CC' from the cruise control menu.
Tire Pressure Menu
The driver can select tire pressure from the main menu and quickly check tire pressure and temperature. A tire status of OK, LOW, HIGH, or LEAK appears. See Fig..
When tire pressure is selected, an overhead view of the vehicle is displayed with the tire pressure and temperature indicated for each tire; the tire pressure appears in bold above the temperature reading. Tires within a normal pressure range are white. Tires with low or high pressure or a tire with a leak detected are yellow. See Fig..
Tire Warning
Vehicles equipped with a TPMS display a warning screen when a fault is detected. An overhead view of the vehicle is shown along with the tire pressure and temperature of each tire and a message—LOW PRESSURE, HIGH PRESSURE, or LEAK DETECTED—at the bottom of the driver display screen. See Fig.. To exit the tire warning screen, press the OK button on the left side of the steering wheel.
-
The tire warning screen indicates that one tire has low pressure, indicated by the yellow tire and pressure reading on the driver display screen.
