Battery Gauge:
An optional small battery gauge is provided
for Hybrid vehicles. You can switch this
feature on in the Settings menu under
Battery Display. See General Information
(page 92). 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 increases
or decreases as the battery charges and
discharges during normal operation. Regen Display:
A circular arrow symbol displays when
energy is being recaptured through the
regenerative braking system. You can
switch the Regen Display off in the Settings
menu. See
General Information (page
92).
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:

Vehicle Range
Vehicle range indicates the estimated
distance your vehicle will travel with the
energy currently onboard. The range is
displayed at the bottom of the screen with
gasoline range shown in white.
• Gasoline Range: Is the estimated
distance to empty based on the fuel
remaining in the tank.
The amount of energy being used while
driving is affected by:
• Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking.
• Your vehicle speed.
• Your use of accessories such as climate
control.
• The ambient temperature and other
weather conditions.
• City or highway driving.
• Road grades.
Note: It is normal for vehicle range
estimates to vary due to changes in average
energy usage. This is why you will typically
see different range estimates each time you
fill up your fuel tank or fully charge your
battery. Trip Efficiency Leaves
Trip Efficiency Leaves display upon
shutting off your Hybrid vehicle. The
number of leaves represent the average
for the last trip. A new trip begins each time
you start your vehicle (when the Ready to
Drive message comes on). Corresponding
Trip Summary data displays on the left
information display.
