Common Displays
Note:Battery gauge information can be individually selected on or off
through Battery Display in the Options sub-menu. From any main display
a right arrow press on the steering wheel controls will take you to the
Options sub-menu.
Note:
For Energi vehicles there are two versions of the battery gauge.
When the vehicle is in Hybrid Mode the information is shown with a simple
battery graphic. When in Plug-in Power Mode an enhanced battery graphic
is provided and available electric range is added to the display. .
Battery Gauge:The high voltage battery gauge appears on the right
side of the information display screen. This provides Charge Fill (State of
Charge), Charge Assist and Regen Display.
•Charge Fill - The fill level, or State of Charge indicates the amount of
energy stored in the high voltage battery as a percent of total energy
capacity. The level will increase or 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.
•Charge Fill (Energi Plug-in Power Mode) - The fill level indicates the
amount of energy stored in the high voltage battery which is available
for Plug-in Power Mode. A full fill represents the total amount of
energy you can get from an external charge (plugging your vehicle in).
When the fill reaches empty your vehicle will automatically enter
Hybrid Mode
•Electric Range (Energi Plug-in Power Mode) - The electric range
estimate is based on the amount of battery energy currently available
in the high voltage battery and your typical energy usage while
driving. This includes your drive habits as well as your use of
accessories such as Climate Control. The battery energy refers
to the energy gained from charging the battery while plugged in.
•
Charge Assist - The up and down arrows provide information about the
energy going into and out of the high voltage battery. The up arrow
above the battery indicates battery charging such as from regenerative
braking. The down arrow below the battery indicates battery discharging
to provide power for propulsion or vehicle accessories
Note:The Charge Fill is always shown for Plug-in Power Mode, even if
Charge Fill is not selected under Battery Display in the Options sub-menu.
•Regen Display-Acircular arrow symbol appears in the center of
the Battery Gauge when energy is being recaptured through the
regenerative braking system.

Fuel Gauge:The fuel gauge will indicate approximately how much fuel
is left in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge may vary slightly when your
vehicle is moving or on a gradient. The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump
symbol indicates on which side of the vehicle the fuel filler door is
located.
Brake Coach Display:The Brake Coach appears after the vehicle has
come to a stop. It coaches you to brake in a manner which maximizes
the amount of energy returned through the regenerative braking system.
The percent displayed is an indication of the regenerative braking
efficiency with 100% representing the maximum amount of energy
recovery.
Trip Summary and Lifetime Summary:These will be displayed upon
shutting off the vehicle. Trip Summary will appear first, then Lifetime
Summary will be displayed. You can toggle between these displays using
the up and down arrow keys on the left hand steering wheel controls.
Trip Summary data is from the last power cycle, while Lifetime Summary
data is cumulative from the last Lifetime Summary reset done through
the Settings menu in the message center.
Trip Summary:
•Distance - The total distance travelled, distance travelled on battery
power only (EV distance) and regen distance are displayed. Regen
distance is the estimated range gained from energy recaptured
through regenerative braking.
•Energy Use - The average fuel economy and total fuel used are
displayed. In addition for Energi, the total electrical energy used
while in Plug-in Power Mode is displayed in kilowatt hours (kWh).
Trip Summary average fuel economy will be shown in blue if better
than your lifetime average fuel economy.
•Brake Score - The average percentage of braking energy recaptured
and returned to the high voltage battery through regenerative braking.
The brake score will be shown in blue if greater than (better than) the
lifetime brake score.
Lifetime Summary:
•Distance - The distance travelled on battery power only (EV distance)
and regen distance are displayed. Regen distance is the estimated
range gained from energy recaptured through regenerative braking.
•Energy Use - Average fuel economy.
•Brake Score - The average percentage of braking energy recaptured
and returned to the high voltage battery through regenerative braking.

Vehicle Range— Indicates the estimated distance the vehicle will
travel with the energy currently available. For Hybrid, the vehicle range
estimate is based on the fuel remaining in the gasoline tank. For Energi,
the total estimated distance equals the distance available in Hybrid Mode
fueled by gasoline, plus the EV distance available in Plug-in Power
Mode. Changes in driving pattern may cause the values to vary.
Instantaneous Fuel— This gauge is available on all Display mode
screens and shows the instantaneous fuel economy. It can be selected on
or off through the Options sub-menu. From any main display a right arrow
press on the steering wheel controls will take you to the Options
sub-menu.
Instantaneous fuel economy is displayed in miles per gallon, kilometers
per liter, or liters per 100 kilometers. Your vehicle must be moving to
calculate average fuel economy. If your instantaneous fuel economy is
greater than the maximum value the graph can display,a+signwillbe
shown next to maximum scale number. When the vehicle is operating on
battery power only, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue.
For Energi vehicles, in the Display section of the Settings menu you
can choose your fuel economy units as Fuel only or fuel + electric.
When fuel + electric is chosen your electrical energy use during
Plug-in Power Mode is included in your instantaneous fuel economy.
This is based on its equivalent energy in terms of gallons or liters of
gasoline. The units will be displayed as MPGe, which reads miles per
gallon equivalent, and similarly, km/Le and Le/100km.
