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 gal-
lons (15 Liters) of new fuel to the vehicle's fuel tank.
NOTE:
If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil Refresh mode to main-
tain engine lubrication, adding fuel will not exit the
mode sooner.
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
lubrication based mode.
•
Electric drive mode will be temporarily unavailable
while the Fuel And Oil Refresh Mode (FORM) is
active. Do not attempt to return to Electric Mode
until the FORM 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.

pop-up messages fall into several categories:
Five Second Stored Messages
•
When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of
message takes control of the main display area for
five seconds and then returns to the previous
screen. Most of the messages of this type are then
stored (as long as the condition that activated it
remains active) and can be reviewed from the "Mes-
sages" main menu item. Examples of this message
type are "Right Front Turn Signal Lamp Out" and
"Low Tire Pressure".

This message type is displayed indefinitely or until
the condition that activated the message is cleared.
Examples of this message type are "Turn Signal On"
(if a turn signal is left on) and "Lights On" (if driver

Unstored Messages Until RUN
•
These messages deal primarily with the Remote
Start feature. This message type is displayed until
the ignition is in the RUN state. Examples of this
message type are "Remote Start Canceled - Door
Ajar" and "Press Brake Pedal and Push Button to
