SPECIAL NOTICES
New Vehicle Limited Warranty
For a detailed description of what is covered and what is not covered by
your vehicle's New Vehicle Limited Warranty, refer to the Warranty
Information Booklet that is provided to you along with your Owner's
Manual.
Answer
There are no provisions for
charging the high voltage battery
from a power supply external to
the vehicle.
ECON mode may provide
improved fuel economy by
preventing the gasoline engine
from running for the sole purpose
of providing air conditioning. When
the engine turns off, the A/C
compressor does not operate and
warm air may come out of the
vents. In ECON mode, A/C
operates as normal when the
gasoline engine is running.
Yes. Your hybrid vehicle can be
"flat-towed" without modification.
See the Recreational Towing
section in the Tires, Wheels and
Loading chapter for more
information.
