Power Flow Display
The Power Flow display, located
on the instrument panel’s Driver
Information Center or on the audio
system color display (if equipped),
indicates the energy flow direction,
the high-voltage battery charge
level, and the current eAssist oper-
ating mode. These modes include:
• Engine Idle – The vehicle is
stopped and the engine is
running.
• Auto Stop – The vehicle is stopped, the engine has been automatically turned off and is
ready to automatically restart when needed.
• Engine Power – The engine is providing the primary drive power for the vehicle.
• Hybrid Power – The eAssist electric motor is providing significant electrical assist to
the engine.
• Battery Charging – The eAssist electric motor is charging the high-voltage battery while
the vehicle is slowing down.

Driver Efficiency Gauge
The efficiency gauge assists you in driving efficiently. To maximize efficiency, attempt to
keep the pointer in the solid green zone in the middle of the gauge. The gauge moves to
the left when braking and to the right when accelerating. When either is done aggressively,
it is less efficient and the gauge will move further away from the center. The eAssist
system’s ability to capture energy while the vehicle is slowing down makes decelerating
very important for efficiency.
See Instruments and Controls in your Owner Manual.
Climate Control Settings
• Press the Air Conditioningbutton until the button indicator is green to select the
eco air conditioning setting for maximum efficiency. This setting will maximize the
frequency and duration of Auto Stops while still providing cabin comfort when the
vehicle is in an Auto Stop.
• Press the Air Conditioningbutton until the button indicator is blue to select the
comfort air conditioning setting for maximum cabin comfort. Auto Stops will be reduced
in both frequency and duration.
