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.
See Instruments and Controls in your Owner Manual.
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 aggres-sively, it is less efficient and the gauge will move farther 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 Conditioning button 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 Conditioning button 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.
See Climate Controls in your Owner Manual.
