remove the mobile phone and
allow the object to cool before
removing it from the charging
pocket, to prevent burns.

Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly
when the propulsion system is
started to indicate they are working.
When one of the warning lights
comes on and stays on while
driving, or when one of the gauges
shows there may be a problem,
check the section that explains what
to do. Waiting to do repairs can be
costly and even dangerous.
Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster displays a
preview of information that includes
electric range, charging, odometer,
and battery status. This happens
upon entry when the driver door is
opened, before starting the vehicle.
This preview will dismiss after
starting the vehicle or soon after
closing the driver door.

Battery Gauge (High
Voltage)
Enhanced Battery Gauge
This displays the high voltage
battery state of charge. The value in
the center is an estimate of how far
the vehicle can be driven on the
remaining charge as estimated from
driving habits and conditions
learned over several days.
The Max and Min values above and
below the display indicate the
longest and shortest possible range
as estimated from current vehicle
conditions and climate settings. The mileage estimate and Max and
Min numbers are affected by climate
control system usage. Estimated
range may increase or decrease
based upon changes in climate
control energy consumption.
A trend bar on the far left indicates
how recent vehicle conditions and
climate settings are affecting the
learned range prediction.
When the high voltage battery state
of charge is very low the estimated
range value in the center will
change to Low. Max and Min ranges
will no longer be displayed.
Additional alerts may display and a
sound may also be heard at low
state of charge.
Driver Efficiency Gauge

The power indicator gauge displays
the instantaneous charge and
discharge power flowing either into
or out of the high voltage battery.
Maximum discharge power is
available when the high voltage
battery is fully charged. During
normal operation, a slight reduction
in discharge power may occur as
the high voltage battery state of
charge decreases. Regenerative Braking
When regenerative braking is active,
the regen battery icon with arrows
appears green and a horizontal bar
may display on the gauge.
Regenerative Power Limited
Regenerative power may be limited
when the high voltage battery is
near full charge or cold. The regen
battery icon will appear gray when
limited.
