This indicates which mode is active within the vehicle system.Power FlowA
Action and DescriptionMenu Item
The electric motor and gasoline engine arepowering the vehicle.Status: Hybrid Drive
The hybrid system is storing power in thehigh-voltage battery.Status: Charging HV Battery
The vehicle is either at rest, or sharing verylittle power between the electric system parts.Status: Idle
The vehicle is driving in electric mode (thepower is coming from the electric motor). Thegasoline engine is off in this mode.
Status: Electric Drive
Shows the direction of power flow between the wheels and the electric motor.Motor-to-Wheel FlowB
Represents the hybrid electric motor. The higher the motor power is, the larger thecircle around this node. Any time the vehicle is ready to be driven, the motor nodeilluminates.
Electric MotorC
Shows the direction of power flow between the high-voltage battery and the electricmotor. Flow toward the motor indicates the battery is providing power to acceleratethe vehicle (discharging the battery). Flow toward the battery indicates the electricmotor is providing power to the battery (charging the battery).

DescriptionItemCallout
Includes all power usage from the low voltage accessories such as the climate controlfan, headlights and heated seats. The higher the power usage is from theseaccessories, the larger the circle around the node. This node illuminates anytime thevehicle is on since there is always some low level power in use.
2OtherE
Includes the power usage from the high-voltage climate control components suchas the electric A/C compressor and the electric heater (Energi only). The higher thepower usage is from these components, the larger the circle around this node.
2,3ClimateF
Represents your high-voltage battery. A circle illuminates around the node when thehigh-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 aroundthis node.
BatteryG
Represents the fuel tank in the vehicle.FuelH
Shows flow from the fuel tank to the engine when the engine is on and using fuel(there are some cases where the engine is on, but not using any fuel). When theengine is on, but not using fuel, the engine node is active, but the fuel flow path isoff. An example of this is when your foot is off the accelerator pedal and the vehicleis traveling at a high speed.
Fuel-to-Engine FlowI
Provides you with the reason(s) the gasoline engine is on. When the gasoline engineis off, this display does not appear. Engine On due to reasons displayed by the systemare in a chart following this list.

DescriptionItemCallout
Shows the direction of power flow between the engine and the electric motor. Thedirection indicates if the engine is providing power to the high-voltage electricalsystem, or if the high-voltage electrical system is providing power to control or startthe engine.
Motor-to-Engine FlowK
Represents the gasoline engine. It illuminates only when the gasoline engine is on.The higher the engine power is, the larger the circle around this node.EngineL
Shows the direction of the power flow between the engine and the wheels.Engine-to-Wheels FlowM
Represents the power going to the wheels. The higher the wheel power is, the largerthe circle around this node. When the engine is off, drive power displays in blue.When the engine is on, drive power displays in grey.

1The battery-to-motor flow includes battery
power the vehicle is using for acceleration.It does not include energy the vehicle isusing for accessories (such as airconditioning, headlights and radio). Thisscreen displays accessories and climateusage separately.
2Accessories indicates electrical power
demands from your vehicle’s accessorysystems. Accessories use power but do notcontribute to making the vehicle move. Thepower flow displays power usage from theclimate control system and other accessoriesseparately.
3The climate control system may determine
A/C is necessary even when you turn it off.In this case, you may see some climatepower when the A/C is off.

The engine is on to charge the high-voltage battery. The vehicle returns to electric modeonce the battery is charged.Battery Charging
The engine is on to optimize vehicle operation. The vehicle returns to electric modewhen possible.Normal Operation
The engine is on to provide increased powertrain braking. This can occur when you turnon the grade assist feature, when speed control is on or when driving with your foot offthe accelerator pedal. Turning off grade assist or speed control may allow the vehicle toreturn to electric mode.
