Common Displays
Note:Some features can be switched on and off through the message
center.
Battery Gauge:The high voltage battery gauge appears on the right
side of the message center screen. This provides State of Charge, Range
Estimate and Regen Display.
•State of Charge - The state of charge for the high voltage battery is
shown as a colored fill. The fill color is normally blue. When a low
battery condition is reached the fill turns amber. When the battery is
depleted the fill turns red. See the Information Messages section for
details on associated Low Battery and Depleted Battery warnings.

•Distance to Empty - The Range Estimate in the Battery Gauge is
personalized to the driver’s key. This is the estimated distance the
vehicle will travel before needing a recharge. The Range Estimate is
based on your typical energy usage while driving. This includes your
Drive Habits as well as your use of accessories such as Climate
Control. Your Range Estimate may change immediately when you
change your Climate Control settings.
•Regen Display-Acircular arrow symbol appears in the center of the
Battery Gauge when energy is being recaptured through the
regenerative braking system.
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.
By maximizing the use of regenerative braking, you minimize the energy
used up by the hydraulic brakes.
Note:Under certain conditions the actual amount of energy returned to
the high voltage battery will be less than the percentage shown.
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, and regen distance are
displayed. Regen distance is the estimated range gained from energy
recaptured through regenerative braking.
•Energy Used - The total kilowatt hours and average watt hours per
unit of distance are displayed. The average watt hours per mi (km)
will be shown in blue if less than (better than) the lifetime average
watt hours per mi (km).
•Brake Score - The 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 total regen distance, which is the estimated range
gained from energy recaptured through regenerative braking.

•Budget Text View: contains basic information to help you reach your
next charging destination or to achieve your vehicle range estimate.
Charge pt: is the distance remaining to the next charge point you
identified using the Navigation system.
Surplus: is the available range beyond your identified charge point
(current Range Estimate shown on Battery Gauge minus Charge pt
distance).

If you don’t enter a charge point, you will see:
Budget: is set to the Range Estimate at the point of departure. This
will count down with the odometer.
Status: is your performance against your Budget (current Range
Estimate shown on Battery Gauge minus Budget distance). A positive
Status indicates you are using less energy than typical and have
extended your Range Estimate by the distance shown.
•Budget view: helps you manage your energy use.
Your current Energy Use is the white line that moves up and down in
the Budget Gauge. A higher line means you are using more energy
(lower is better). Your energy use includes input from the accelerator
pedal as well as the accessories, such as Climate Control.
The Budget is shown by the blue cup shape around the Budget Gauge.
As long as your current Energy Use is within the cup, you are staying
within your budget. Your Budget represents the maximum energy
usage you can maintain in order to achieve your vehicle range
estimate, or reach your intended charge point. Driving for extended
periods outside of the Budget Cup reduces your budget and could put
you at risk of not reaching your intended charge point.
•Range view: shows your range relative to your charge point as well as
performance to your budget.
A blue charge point icon means you have a Surplus. If an E appears to
the left of an amber charge point icon, then you are projected to run
out of charge prior to reaching your charge point.
Current performance to your budget is represented by the glow of the
car icon: more Blue = better performance to budget, more Amber =
worse.
The optional Surplus Graphic displays available range beyond your
charge point.
If you didn’t enter your charge point through the Navigation system,
your budget will be set to the range estimate at the start of your trip.
The gauge will show your estimated distance to E (empty) along with
your current performance to budget. The optional Surplus Graphic is
not available in this case.
•MyView: You can choose what to display in this view. Selecting Change
MyView in the options menu allows you to scroll through two columns
of content choices. The content you select is saved to the current
driver’s key as MyView.
