Odometer
Located in the bottom of the display. It
registers the accumulated distance your
vehicle has traveled.
Battery Gauge
The high voltage battery gauge provides
Charge Fill (State of Charge), Charge Assist,
and Regen Active information.
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. 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.
This feature can be switched on or off in the
information displays settings menu. See
(page 110).
Regen Active
A circular arrow symbol appears in the center
of the battery gauge when energy is being
recaptured through the regenerative braking
system. This feature can be switched on or off in the
information displays settings menu.
See
(page 110).
Fuel Gauge
Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly when
your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much fuel is left
in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the
fuel pump symbol indicates on which side of
your vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
The needle should move toward F when you
refuel your vehicle. If the needle points to E
after adding fuel, this indicates your vehicle
needs service soon.
After refueling some variability in needle
position is normal:

•
It may take a short time for the needle to
reach full after leaving the gas station.
This is normal and depends upon the
slope of pavement at the gas station.
• The fuel amount dispensed into the tank
is a little less or more than the gauge
indicated. This is normal and depends
upon the slope of pavement at the gas
station.
• If the gas station nozzle shuts off before
the tank is full, try a different gas pump
nozzle.
• There is a small reserve left in the tank
when the fuel gauge reaches empty.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers when the
distance to empty reaches about 50 miles
(80 km) to empty.
Variations:
Note: The low fuel reminder can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal. Vehicle Settings and Personalization

Brake Coach Display
The Brake Coach appears after your 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.
This feature can be switched on or off in the
information displays settings menu.
See
(page 110). Trip Summary

inspection maintenance testing.
Normally, the service engine soon light will
stay on until the engine cranks, then turn
itself off if no malfunctions are present.
However, if after 15 seconds the service
engine soon light blinks eight times, it means
that the vehicle is not ready for inspection
maintenance testing. See Emission Control
System (page 184).
Stability Control Flashes when the system is active.
