EFFICIENCY
ELECTRIC RANGE
Electric range is affected by colder outside temperatures. During colder\
months, the
energy needed to warm the vehicle’s cabin and propulsion battery can \
cause the vehi-cle’s electric range to decline. See Driving for Better Energy Effi\
ciency in the Driving and Operating section in your Owner’s Manual.
DRIVING STYLE
Your driving style plays a large role in the efficiency of the vehicle\
. Avoid rapid accelera-tion or deceleration to help maximize energy efficiency and range. Ele\
ctric range is maxi-mized at 50 mph and below; higher speeds use more energy and significa\
ntly reduce electric range.
EFFICIENCY GAUGES
Use the Driver Information Center controls to select an instrument cluster layout that displays the green efficiency bar, ball or ring indicator.
While driving, try to keep the bar or ring green, or the ball in the center of the gauge, depending on the cluster theme selected. The bar or ring will turn yellow or the ball will move up or down during inefficient acceleration or aggressive braking.
SPORT MODE
Press the SPORT button on the center of the instrument panel to select the Normal or Sport driving mode.
Normal (Default)
Use in normal driving conditions for efficient operation. This mode is\
active each time the vehicle is started.
Sport
Use when more performance is needed. This mode increases throttle respon\
se. The Sport indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster.
REGEN ON DEMAND™
Regen on Demand temporarily regener-ates energy from the vehicle’s momentum and stores it in the high voltage propulsion
battery for later use.
To activate Regen on Demand, pull and hold the left paddle on the back of the steering wheel without pressing the brake pedal or accelerator pedal.
While pulling the paddle, the vehicle will begin to decelerate using reg\
enerative braking. Regen on Demand is deactivated once the paddle is released or the accele\
rator pedal is pressed.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.

CLIMATE CONTROLS
CLIMATE SETTINGS
Optimal efficiency is achieved with the climate system off (Climate O\
N indicator is off). Each mode setting impacts the vehicle’s electric range.
Use the Fan only to distribute air through the cabin without active elec\
tric heating/cooling (Heat & A/C indicator is off).
Select Heat & A/C (Heat & A/C indicator is on) for active electric hea\
ting/cooling. This setting uses more energy.
