Energy Usage
The Energy Usage screen displays information for the total of all drive cycles since the last time the high voltage battery was fully charged. This includes distance traveled in Electric Mode, distance traveled in Extended Range Mode, total distance traveled, electric energy used from the battery, total fuel used, and average fuel economy. There are maximum limits to some of the values that can be displayed.
When these values are replaced with dashes, the value limits have been reached. To reset these values, the high voltage battery will need to be fully recharged. The circle graph also represents the percentage of distance traveled using Electric Mode versus Extended Range Mode. The Lifetime Fuel Economy is a total over the life of the vehicle and can only be reset by the dealer. The Energy Usage information will also appear automatically on power off when Retained Accessory Power is active. This automatic pop-up can be disabled through vehicle personalization.

Universal Remote System Programming
If equipped, these buttons are in the overhead console. This system can replace up to three remote control transmitters used to activate devices such as garage door openers, security systems, and home automation devices. These

instructions refer to a garage door opener, but can be used for other devices. Do not use the Universal Remote system with any garage door opener that does not have the stop and reverse feature. This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982. Read these instructions completely before programming the Universal Remote system. It may help to have another person assist with the programming process. Keep the original hand-held transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future programming. Erase the programming when vehicle ownership is terminated. See “Erasing Universal Remote System Buttons” later in this section. To program a garage door opener, park outside directly in line with and facing the garage door opener receiver. Clear all people and objects near the garage door.
Make sure the hand-held transmitter has a new battery for quick and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. Programming the Universal Remote System For questions or help programming the Universal Remote system, call 1-800-355-3515 or see www.homelink.com. Programming involves time-sensitive actions, and may time out causing the procedure to be repeated. To program up to three devices: 1. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter about 3 to 8 cm (1
to 3 in) away from the Universal Remote system buttons with the indicator light in view. The hand-held transmitter was supplied by the manufacturer of the garage door opener receiver.2. At the same time, press and
hold both the hand-held transmitter button and one of the three Universal Remote
system buttons to be used to operate the garage door. Do not release either button until the indicator light changes from a slow to a rapid flash. Then release both buttons. Some garage door openers may require substitution of Step 2 with the procedure under “Radio Signals for Canada and Some Gate Operators” later in this section.
3. Press and hold the newly
programmed Universal Remote system button for five seconds while watching the indicator light and garage door activation.
If the indicator light stays on continuously or the garage door moves when the button is pressed, then programming is complete. There is no need to complete Steps 4–6. If the indicator light does not come on or the garage door does not move, a second button press may

be required. For a second time, press and hold the newly programmed button for five seconds. If the light stays on or the garage door moves, programming is complete. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds, then changes to a solid light and the garage door does not move, continue with programming Steps 4–6.
Learn or Smart Button
4. After completing Steps 1–3,
locate the Learn or Smart button inside the garage on the garage door opener receiver.
The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.
5. Press and release the Learn or
6.
Smart button. Step 6 must be completed within 30 seconds of pressing this button. Inside the vehicle, press and hold the newly programmed Universal Remote system button for two seconds and then release it. If the garage door does not move or the lamp on the garage door opener receiver does not flash, press and hold the same button a second time for two seconds, then release it. Again, if the door does not move or the garage door lamp does not flash, press and hold the same button a third time for two seconds, then release it.
The Universal Remote system should now activate the garage door. Repeat the process for programming the two remaining buttons.
Radio Signals for Canada and Some Gate Operators For questions or programming help call 1-800-355-3515 or see www.homelink.com. Canadian radio-frequency laws and some U.S. gate operators require transmitter signals to time out or quit after several seconds of transmission. This may not be long enough for the Universal Remote system to pick up the signal during programming. If the programming did not work, replace Step 2 under “Programming the Universal Remote System” with the following: Press and hold the Universal Remote system button while pressing and releasing the hand-held transmitter button every two seconds until the signal has been successfully accepted by the Universal Remote system. The Universal Remote system indicator light will flash slowly at first and then rapidly. Proceed with Step 3 under “Programming the Universal Remote System” to complete.

1. Press and hold any one of the
buttons. Do not release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without releasing the button, proceed with Step 1 under “Programming the Universal Remote System.”
Universal Remote System Operation
Using the Universal Remote System Press and hold the appropriate Universal Remote system button for at least one-half second. The indicator light will come on while the signal is being transmitted. Erasing Universal Remote System Buttons Erase all programmed buttons when vehicle ownership is terminated. To erase: 1. Press and hold the two outside buttons until the indicator light begins to flash. This should take about 10 seconds.
2. Release both buttons. Reprogramming a Single Universal Remote System Button To reprogram any of the system buttons:

Driving with IntelliBeam The system only activates the high beams when driving over 40 km/h (25 mph). There is a sensor near the top center of the windshield that automatically controls the system. Keep this area of the windshield clear of debris to allow for best system performance. The high-beam headlamps remain on, under the automatic control, until one of the following situations occurs: . The system detects an approaching vehicle's headlamps.
. The system detects a preceding
vehicle's taillamps.
. The outside light is bright
enough that high-beam headlamps are not required.
. The vehicle's speed drops below
20 km/h (12 mph).
. The IntelliBeam system can be disabled by the High/Low-Beam Changer or the Flash-to-Pass feature. If this happens, the High/Low-Beam Changer must be activated two times within five seconds to reactivate the IntelliBeam system. The instrument cluster light will come on to indicate the IntelliBeam is reactivated. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer 0 158
and Flash-to-Pass 0 158.The high beams may not turn off automatically if the system cannot detect another vehicle's lamps because of any of the following: . The other vehicle's lamps are missing, damaged, obstructed from view, or otherwise undetected.
