When operating in this mode, the gas engine will run to
provide vehicle propulsion (electric only operation is
inhibited). A message will be displayed in the instru-
ment cluster whenever Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode is
active.
The vehicle will automatically exit the Fuel and Oil
Refresh Mode when fuel and lubrication conditions
have been satisfied. If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil
Refresh Mode, due to fuel which has been in the fuel
tank for a long period of time (becoming stale fuel), the
engine will run whenever the vehicle is operational (no
electric only operation) until the low fuel level warning is
activated. It is also possible to exit the Fuel and Oil
Refresh Mode sooner by adding a minimum of four
gallons of new fuel to the vehicle’s fuel tank.
If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode to main-
tain engine lubrication properties, the engine may run
for a period of up to 2.5 hours when fully warm when-
ever the vehicle is operational (no electric only opera-
tion). If the vehicle is shut down before conditions to
exit the refresh mode have been satisfied, the engine
may run for additional time on subsequent trips. Oil
refresh may take significantly longer in freezing
temperatures.
NOTE:
•
Frequent short trips at low ambient temperature
conditions where the engine does not reach normal
operating temperatures are more likely to trigger the
Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode.
•
Electric drive mode will be temporarily unavailable
while the Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode is active. Do
not attempt to return to Electric mode until the Fuel
and Oil Refresh Mode cycle is complete.
CAUTION!
If the instrument cluster instructs you to change the
engine oil, do not reset the service indicator without
changing the oil. Engine damage may result.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR (GSI) —
IF EQUIPPED
The GSI system is enabled on vehicles with a manual
transmission, or when a vehicle with an automatic
transmission is in manual shift mode. The GSI provides
the driver with a visual indication when the recom-
mended gear shift point has been reached. This indica-
tion notifies the driver that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption. When the up shift indi-
cator is shown on the instrument cluster display, the
GSI is advising the driver to engage a higher gear. When
the down shift indicator is shown on the display, the GSI
is advising the driver to engage a lower gear.
The GSI remains illuminated until the driver changes
gears, or the driving conditions return to a situation
where changing gear is not required to improve fuel
consumption.
