EFFICIENCY
DRIVING STYLE
Your driving style plays a large role in the efficiency of the vehicle\
. Avoid rapid accel-eration or deceleration to help maximize energy efficiency and range. \
Electric range is maximized at 50 mph and below; higher speeds use more energy and signifi\
cantly reduce electric range.
EFFICIENCY GAUGE
Use the 5-way control to select the Enhanced instrument cluster that
displays the green ball indicator.
While driving, try to keep the ball in the center of the gauge. The ball will turn
yellow and will move up or down during inefficient acceleration or aggressive braking.
DRIVER-SELECTED OPERATING MODES
Press the MODE button on the center console to scroll through a menu of operating modes for when more performance is needed. After 3 seconds, the highligh\
ted mode will become active.
Normal (Default) – Use in normal driving conditions for efficient operation; is active each time the vehicle is started.
Sport – Use for a sportier driving experi-ence; increases throttle response.
Mountain – Use when planning to drive in mountainous terrain (long grades of 5% or higher); reserves battery power to maintain higher speeds on steep grades.
Hold – Use to preserve electric range for later use. Range-extending operation will engage.
REGEN ON DEMAND™
Regen on Demand temporarily regenerates energy from the vehicle’s momentum and stores it in the high voltage propulsion bat-tery for later use.
To activate Regen on Demand, pull and hold the paddle on the back left side of the steering wheel without pressing the brake pedal or accelerator pedal.
While pulling the paddle, the vehicle will begin to decelerate using regenerative braking. Regen on Demand is deactivated once the paddle is released or the accelerator pedal is pressed.
Note: You should always use your brake pedal if you need to stop immediately.
