Right Information Display
Efficiency Leaves
Efficiency leaves indicate short term
driving efficiency. The more leaves
and vines that are displayed, the
better your fuel economy. Leaves and
vines will occasionally appear and
disappear to indicate a change in
driving efficiency.
Note:
The efficiency leaves display can
be impacted by your use of brakes,
accelerator and accessories, as well as
environmental conditions such as hills
and weather.
Flowers
Flowers appear on the efficiency
leaves screen in addition to the leaves
and vines. The flowers indicate long
term driving efficiency. The more
flowers that are displayed, the more
efficiently you have driven. Once
earned, the flowers will remain unless
reset. The flowers, along with the
vehicle's lifetime fuel economy, can
be reset through the information
display. See General Information
(page 103).
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. Battery Gauge:
The high-voltage battery gauge
appears on the right side of the left
information display screen. This
provides Charge Fill (State of Charge),
Charge Assist and Regen Display.
Charge Fill (Hybrid Mode)
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 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.
Regen Display
A circular 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 information
display screen.
Trip Summary:
•
Distance- The total distance
traveled, distance traveled 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.
• 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.
