Power
Motor-to-wheel flow shows the direction of power flow between the wheels and the electric m\
otor.
A
Electric Motor
represents the hybrid electric motor. The higher the motor power is, the larger the circle around this node. Any time
the vehicle is ready to be driven, the motor node illuminates.
B
Battery-to-motor flow 1
shows the direction of power flow between the high-voltage battery and \
the electric motor. Flow toward the
motor indicates the battery is providing power to accelerate the vehicle\
(discharging the battery). Flow toward the battery indicates
the electric motor is providing power to the battery (charging the batt\
ery).

includes all power usage from the low voltage accessories such as the c\
limate control fan, headlights and heated seats. The
higher the power usage is from these accessories, the larger the circle \
around the node. This node illuminates anytime the vehicle
is on since there is always some low level power in use.
D
Climate 2,3
includes the power usage from the high-voltage climate control componen\
ts such as the electric A/C compressor. The
higher the power usage is from these components, the larger the circle a\
round this node.
E
High voltage battery power represents your high-voltage battery. A circle illuminates around the node when the high-voltage
battery is receiving power from regenerative braking or engine charging.\
The higher the power going into the high-voltage battery ,
the larger the circle around this node.
F
Fuel
represents the fuel tank in the vehicle.
G
Fuel-to-engine flow shows flow from the fuel tank to the engine when the engine is on and u\
sing fuel (there are some cases where
the engine is on, but not using any fuel). When the engine is on, but n\
ot using fuel, the engine node is active, but the fuel flow path
is off. An example of this is when your foot is off the accelerator pedal and \
the vehicle is traveling at a high speed.
H
Engine On due to provides you with the reason(s) the gasoline engine is on. When the g\
asoline engine is off, this display does not
appear.
Engine On due to reasons displayed by the system are in a chart following this list.
I
Motor-to-engine flow
shows the direction of power flow between the engine and the electric m\
otor. The direction indicates if the
engine is providing power to the high-voltage electrical system, or if t\
he high-voltage electrical system is providing power to control
or start the engine.
J
Engine power
represents the gasoline engine. It illuminates only when the gasoline engine is on. The higher the eng\
ine power is,
the larger the circle around this node.
K
Engine-to-wheels flow
shows the direction of the power flow between the engine and the wheels\
.
L
Drive power
represents the power going to the wheels. The higher the wheel power is\
, the larger the circle around this node. When
the engine is off, drive power is shown in blue. When the engine is on, drive power is shown in grey.

1
The battery-to-motor flow includes battery
power the vehicle is using for acceleration.
It does not include energy the vehicle is
using for accessories (such as air
conditioning, headlights and radio). This
screen displays accessories and climate
usage separately. 2
Accessories indicates electrical power
demands from your vehicle ’s accessory
systems. Accessories use power but do not
contribute to making the vehicle move. The
power flow displays power usage from the
climate control system and other accessories
separately. 3
The climate control system may determine
A/C is necessary even when you turn it off.
In this case, you may see some climate
power when the A/C is off. Engine On due to
The engine is on because of the heater setting. Reduce or turn off
the heater setting to return to electric mode.
Heater Setting
The engine is on because the vehicle speed exceeds the level for
electric mode operation. Reduce the speed to return to electric mode.
High Speed
The engine is on when applying pressure to the accelerator pedal or
switching on the speed control. Reduce pressure on the accelerator
pedal or switch off the speed control to return to full electric mode.
Acceleration
The engine is on because the vehicle is in neutral gear. Shift out of
neutral gear to return to electric mode.

Engine On due to
The engine is on because the vehicle is in low gear. Shift out of low
gear to return to electric mode.
Low Gear
The engine is on to charge the high-voltage battery. The vehicle
returns to electric mode once the battery is charged.
Battery Charging
The engine is on to optimize vehicle operation. The vehicle returns
to electric mode when possible.
Normal Operation
Status
This indicates which mode is active within
the vehicle system.
Hybrid Drive
The electric motor and gasoline engine are
powering vehicle. Charging HV Battery
The hybrid system is storing power in the
high-voltage battery.
Idle
The vehicle is either at rest, or sharing very
little power between the electric system
parts.Electric Drive
The vehicle is driving in electric mode (the
power is coming from the electric motor).
The gasoline engine is off in this mode.
