3.Generator Power:This line represents how much power is being
generated by the engine for use by the High Voltage (HV) electric
system, or how much power is being used by the High Voltage (HV)
electric system to control/start the engine.
4.High Voltage (HV) Battery:This icon represents your High Voltage
Battery. It will be highlighted when power is transferred to and from the
battery. The fill level represents the state of charge of your HV Battery.
The fill level will increase and decrease as the battery charges and
discharges during normal operation, but the hybrid system will attempt
to control the level to approximately the middle of the gauge under most
driving conditions.
5.Battery Power:This line represents how much power the HV battery
is providing to accelerate the vehicle (discharging), or how much power
is being delivered from the motor to the battery (charging).
Note:The battery power line includes battery power being used to
propel the vehicle. It does not include energy being used by accessories
(i.e., air conditioning, headlights, radio, etc.)
6.Electric motor:This icon represents the hybrid electric motor. This
symbol will be highlighted to indicate that the vehicle is ready to be
driven.
7.Motor power:This line represents how much power is being
transferred between the wheels and the hybrid electric motor.
The energy flow screens contain a title to indicate which mode is active
within the hybrid system.
InHybrid Drivemode, the vehicle
is being powered by both the
electric motor and the engine.

InCharging HV Batterymode,
power is being stored in the high
voltage (HV) battery by the Hybrid
system.
InIdle with Chargingmode,
power is being generated to
recharge the high voltage battery.
InIdlemode, the vehicle is either
at rest, or is sharing very little
power between the hybrid parts.
InElectric Drivemode, the vehicle
is driving in electric mode. The
power is coming from the electric
motor and not the engine.

Vehicle (vehicle gauge):The narrow band indicates vehicle power
demand. (The more you press on the accelerator pedal, the more power
you demand of the vehicle.) When the transmission is in D (Drive), the
wide band indicates the gasoline engine on/off transition point. If the
narrow band is above the wide band, the gasoline engine is on. If the
narrow band is below the wide band, the gasoline engine is off and the
vehicle is in electric mode. If you are in electric mode and you press the
accelerator such that the narrow band exceeds the wide band, the
gasoline engine will turn on.
•Reduction in vehicle power to
below the wide band will result in
the engine turning off. In this
case, the hybrid’s system is
operating in electric mode and
“EV” is displayed under the
gauge.
•If the power demand is smaller than what is required to turn the
engine on, it will be indicated with the narrow band below the wide
band. Increase in vehicle power to above the wide band will result in
the engine turning on and the “EV” will disappear.
•When the gasoline engine is on for reasons outside of your control
(such as warming up the system or charging a low battery), the
gasoline engine on/off threshold indicator (wide band) disappears.
When the wide band is not displayed, the gasoline engine will not turn
off regardless of how little power you demand (even lifting your foot
off the accelerator).
A/C power gauge:The air conditioning power gauge indicates electrical
power demand from your vehicle’s air conditioning system. Air
conditioning uses power but does not contribute to propelling the
vehicle. The higher the level indication on this gauge, the more air
conditioning power is being used. You can see the level of this gauge
change by turning air conditioning on and off or changing the climate
control set point.
•Some air conditioning power may be used when in the AUTO
(Automatic) climate control mode. See the Climate control chapter of
your Owner’s Guide for more information.
•In colder ambient temperatures when the air conditioning is used less
frequently, the A/C power will often display at zero.

Eff (efficiency gauge):The efficiency gauge indicates short term
driving efficiency, measured over the last few minutes. Higher efficiency
is indicated by an increase in the level indication.
•This display can be impacted by your use of brakes, accelerator and
accessories as well as environmental conditions such as terrain and
weather.
•The efficiency display does not reset with the ’Reset’ economy button.
Engine on:This gauge provides you with the reason why the engine is
running. When the gasoline engine is on, the buttons will show the
reason why. When the gasoline engine is off, ’EV’ will appear in the
display. When the gasoline engine is on, one or two of the following
reasons will appear. For a more complete description of the reason,
simply press the desired button on the touchscreen.
•Engine cold: The engine is on to warm-up. The vehicle will return to
electric mode when the engine is warm. This reason may re-appear
during a drive or after shutting the vehicle down for a short period.
This is normal operation.
•Heater setting: The engine is on because of the heater setting. Reduce
or turn off the heater setting to return to electric mode.
•High speed: The engine is on because the vehicle speed exceeds the
level for electric mode operation. Reduce the speed to return to
electric mode.
•Acceleration: The engine is on because of pressure applied to the
accelerator pedal. Reduce the pressure on the accelerator pedal to
return to full electric mode.
•Neutral Gear: The engine is on because the vehicle is in neutral gear.
Shift out of neutral gear to return to electric mode.
•Low Gear: The engine is on because the vehicle is in low gear. Shift
out of low gear to return to electric mode.
•Batt charging (battery charging): The engine is on to charge the
hybrid battery. The vehicle will return to electric mode once the
battery is charged.
•Normal operation: The engine is on to optimize vehicle operation. The
vehicle will return to electric mode when possible.
