1-20 In Brief In emergency situations, first responders can cut the two clearly labeled cut points in the engine compartment to disable the high voltage battery and air bag systems - do not cut the high voltage cable. To maximize efficiency, keep the gauge pointed in the solid green zone in the center of the gauge. See Driver Efficiency Gauge on page 5‑12 for more information. Driver Efficiency Gauge Automatic Engine Start/ Stop Feature Vehicles with eAssist have an automatic engine start/stop feature. After the engine is started and has reached operating temperature, the auto stop feature may cause the engine to turn off when the brake pedal is applied and the vehicle comes to a complete stop. When the brake pedal is released, or the accelerator pedal is applied, the engine will restart. The engine will continue to run until the next auto stop. To restart the engine during the auto stop, release the brake pedal or press the accelerator pedal. The engine starts immediately. The vehicle continues to run until the next stop. The cold air intake for the battery is located behind the rear seat, on the filler panel. Do not cover the intake. See Battery on page 10‑26. High Voltage Safety Information Vehicles with eAssist have a standard 12-volt battery and a high voltage battery. Only a trained service technician with the proper knowledge and tools should inspect, test, or replace the high voltage battery. See your dealer if the high voltage battery needs service. This gauge assists in driving efficiently and may vary during normal operation.
