90Information Displays

• 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 range equals the range
available in Hybrid Mode fueled by gasoline, plus the electric range available in Plug-in
Power Mode. Changes in driving pattern may cause the values to vary.
• Inform — Inform shows the fuel level, battery display and average fuel economy, with
options available for the Battery Display and an Instantaneous Fuel Economy gauge.
When the vehicle is operating on battery power only with the engine off, EV is displayed.
• Enlighten — Enlighten displays power demand in addition to the typical information
and options from Inform. The Instantaneous Fuel Economy gauge will be displayed
by default. When the vehicle is operating on battery power only with the engine off,
EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue. When both the engine and high
voltage battery are providing power the gauge fill is white.
• Engage — Engage replaces the power demand gauge from Enlighten with separate
gauges for engine power and high voltage battery power. The engine power gauge
fill is white and the high voltage battery power gauge fill is blue. When the vehicle is
operating on battery power only with the engine off, EV is displayed.
• Empower — Empower adds an engine on/off threshold to the power demand gauge
from Enlighten. The threshold is shown as a blue double outline. The gauge is designed
to show you how close you are to the gasoline engine on/off threshold and how much
power you are requesting based on how far you press the accelerator pedal.
When power demand is below the threshold the vehicle is operating on battery power
only with the engine off, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue.
When power demand exceeds the threshold both the engine and the high voltage battery
provide power and the gauge fill is white.
When power demand surpasses the amber indicator, this level of demand and associated
fuel economy are shown in amber.
Note: You can reset your average fuel economy by pressing and holding the OK button on
the left hand steering wheel controls.
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.
• Accessory Power— Indicates electrical power demands from your vehicle’s accessory
systems. Accessories use power but do not contribute to propelling the vehicle. The
gauge separately displays power demand in kilowatts (kW) for climate and other
accessories.
Climate includes the power being used by high voltage climate control components such
as the electric A/C compressor and the electric heater (Energi vehicles only)
Other includes all power being used by the low voltage accessories (cabin fans, headlights,
heated seats, etc.).
91Information Displays

• Coolant Temp – Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normal operating
temperature, the level indicator will be white and will be in the normal range (between
H and C). If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the normal range, the level
indicator will change to red to indicate that the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle
as soon as safely possible, turn off the vehicle and let the engine cool.
The thermometer indicator next to the gauge will illuminate in blue or white to indicate
the following:
• Blue thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is not warm enough to allow
EV operation. The gasoline engine will typically run continuously when the indicator
is blue.
Note: During silent key start mode, the thermometer indicator will be blue, but the gasoline
engine will not run. This is the result of the vehicle computer allowing the engine to be cooler
during the silent key start period. This is normal operation and does not indicate a problem
with your vehicle. After the first engine start the indicator will turn white when the gasoline
engine is warm enough to turn off.
• White thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is warm enough to allow
EV operation. If the vehicle operates on battery power long enough, it is possible that
the gasoline engine may need to run to keep the system warm. In this case, the
thermometer indicator will revert back to blue.
• Tach rpm x 1000 — When the gasoline engine is running, the tachometer gauge
displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). When the vehicle is
operating on battery power only with the engine off, EV is displayed and the tachometer
is greyed out.
Note: The trip data, and average fuel economy cannot be reset in MyView.
Energy Use (Energi only) - Energy Use
provides an energy use gauge and a
climate power gauge in addition to fuel
level and battery display. When you select
EV Now operation this screen will
automatically be shown. You can press OK
to enable the engine when viewing this
screen during EV Now operation. See
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (page 142).
• Consumption Gauge: Your current
present energy use per distance
traveled is represented by the white
line that moves up and down in the
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. When operating in EV Now a blue cup
shape is shown around the gauge. This
represents the maximum energy usage you
can maintain in order to achieve the
estimated electric range shown on the
battery gauge. Keep your current energy
use mostly within the cup while driving and
you should achieve your electric range
estimate.
• Climate Power Gauge: Indicates high
voltage electrical power demand from
you vehicle’s high voltage climate
control components such as the
electric A/C compressor and the
electric heater. These components use
power but do not contribute to
propelling the vehicle. The gauge
displays power demand in kilowatts
(kW).

Standard - Elapsed trip time, Trip distance and EV distance
• Elapsed trip time — timer stops when the vehicle is turned off and restarts when the
vehicle is restarted.
• Trip distance — shows the accumulated trip distance.
• EV distance — shows the distance traveled while operating on battery power only
with the engine off.
Enhanced - Standard options plus, Average fuel economy, Estimated amount of fuel
consumed and Estimated amount of electricity consumed (Energi only)
• Average fuel economy - is continuously averaged since the last reset. For Energi
vehicles both hybrid and plug-in power mode operation will be included in the
calculation.
• Estimated amount of fuel consumed — shows the amount of fuel used for a given
trip.
• Estimated amount of electricity consumed — shows the amount of plug-in electricity
used for a given trip.
