The following conditions help to explain
why the engine is on, and what you can do
to allow all electric operation.
Drive Power: The engine is on due to
accelerator pedal pressure or speed
control activation. Reduce pressure on
the accelerator pedal or switch off the
speed control to return to full electric
mode.
High Speed: The engine is on because
the vehicle speed exceeds the level for
full electric operation. Reduce the
speed to return to electric operation.

because of the heater setting. Reduce
or turn off the heater setting to return
to electric operation.

operation once the engine is sufficiently
warm.

once the battery is charged.

the vehicle is in low gear. Shift out of
low gear to return to electric operation.
Normal Operation: The engine is on to
optimize vehicle operation. The vehicle
returns to electric operation when
possible.
Engine Braking Active: The engine is on
to provide increased powertrain
braking. This can occur when you turn
on the grade assist feature, when
speed control is on or when driving with
your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Turning off grade assist or speed
control may allow the vehicle to return
to electric operation.
Battery Temperature: The engine is on
due to high or low high-voltage battery
temperature. This is a normal operating

appropriate drive mode for electric only
operation.

mobile apps while keeping your eyes on
the road. Voice commands, your steering
wheel buttons, or a quick tap on your
touchscreen give you advanced control of
compatible mobile apps. You can also
stream your favorite music or podcasts,
share your time of arrival with friends, and
keep connected safely.
