Inefficient Driving/Aggressive
Braking
.Classic layout: The gauge and
leaf turn yellow.
. Modern layout: When driving
inefficiently, the ball turns yellow
and moves above the center of
the gauge. When braking
aggressively, the ball turns
yellow and moves below the
center of the gauge.
. Enhanced layout: The outer ring
of the speedometer turns yellow.
Power Indicator Gauge
The power indicator gauge is on the
right side of the display in the
Enhanced layout.
This 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.
The power indicator gauge value
shows the instantaneous power
used by the battery.
Regenerative Braking
When regenerative braking is active,
the regen battery icon with arrows
appears green. The power indicator
gauge value shows the amount of
instantaneous power being
regenerated.
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, and a horizontal bar may
display on the gauge, at the level of
the vehicle’
s maximum regenerative
braking power.
Seat Belt Reminders
Driver Seat Belt Reminder
Light
There is a driver seat belt reminder
light on the instrument cluster.
When the vehicle is started, this
light flashes and a chime may come
on to remind the driver to fasten
their seat belt. Then the light stays
on solid until the belt is buckled.
This cycle may continue several
times if the driver remains or
becomes unbuckled while the
vehicle is moving.

IntelliBeam System
If equipped, this system turns the
vehicle's high-beam headlamps on
and off according to surrounding
traffic conditions.
The system turns the high-beam
headlamps on when it is dark
enough and there is no other traffic
present.
This light comes on in the
instrument cluster when the
IntelliBeam system is enabled.
Turning On and Enabling
IntelliBeam
To enable the IntelliBeam system,

Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the high

(25 mph).
The blue high-beam on light
appears on the instrument cluster
when the high beams are on.
There is a sensor near the top
center of the windshield that
automatically controls the system. Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
The high-beam headlamps remain
on, under the automatic control,
until one of the following situations
occurs:
.
The system detects an
approaching vehicle’s
headlamps.
. The system detects a preceding
vehicle’s taillamps.
. The outside light is bright
enough that high-beam
headlamps are not required.

The instrument cluster light will
come on to indicate the
IntelliBeam system is
reactivated.
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot
detect another vehicle's lamps
because of any of the following:
. The other vehicle’s lamps are
missing, damaged, obstructed
from view, or otherwise
undetected.
. The other vehicle‘s lamps are
covered with dirt, snow, and/or
road spray.
. The other vehicle’s lamps cannot
be detected due to dense
exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, road
spray, mist, or other airborne
obstructions.
. The vehicle's windshield is dirty,
cracked, or obstructed by
something that blocks the view
of the light sensor. .
The vehicle is loaded such that
the front end points upward,
causing the light sensor to aim
high and not detect headlamps
and taillamps.
. Driving on winding or hilly roads.
The IntelliBeam system may need to
be disabled if any of the above
conditions exist.
