After making your selection
• Some features offer more information by pressing the OK button.
• You can also hold
OK to reset your fuel economy and trip 1 and 2.
Fuel Economy
An Instant Fuel Economy gauge is provided
along with average fuel economy. Average
fuel economy is continuously averaged
since the last reset.
Hybrid features:
• When the gasoline engine is off the
instant fuel economy gauge is replaced
with a electric driving message.
• For Plug-in vehicles, both electric only
and hybrid operation are included in
the calculation. More electric only
driving will result in greater average fuel
economy.
While viewing this screen you can reset
your average fuel economy by pressing and
holding
OK.
Trip 1 and 2
Provides trip timer, trip average fuel
economy and total trip distance traveled.
For hybrid vehicles, the trip also shows the
distance traveled on electric power only. Hybrid Information
(If Equipped)
This Trip
Provides trip timer, trip average fuel
economy, total trip distance traveled, and
distance traveled on electric power only
with the engine off. If the gasoline engine
has not turned on during the trip then trip
average fuel economy is not shown. This
Trip automatically resets each time you
start your vehicle.
EV Coach
EV Coach can help you to get the most out
of your vehicle ’s electric driving and
regenerative braking capabilities.
When you are accelerating or maintaining
speed you will see a blue or white solid bar
indicating vehicle power. You may also see
a blue rectangular box which shows the
power level at which the engine will turn
on.

•
When your power level is within the box
the color of the bar will be blue. This
means you are in Electric operation and
the engine is off.
• When your power level is outside of the
box the color of the bar will be white.
This means you are in Hybrid operation
with a combination of the electric
motor and the engine providing vehicle
power.
When you are decelerating with either your
foot off the accelerator pedal or on the
brake pedal you will see a green or white
solid bar indicating the power being used
to slow down the vehicle. You may also
see a green rectangular box which shows
the amount of power that can be
recaptured by the regenerative braking
system and returned to the high voltage
battery.
• When your power level is completely
within the box the color of the bar will
be all green. This means that the
regenerative braking system is being
used to efficiently slow the vehicle
down and return the maximum
percentage of energy to the high
voltage battery.
• When your power level is outside of the
green box then the bar will be white.
This means that both the regenerative
braking system and conventional
braking system are being used.
Electric Efficiency
Note: This feature applies to Plug-in
vehicles only.
This screen shows your average driving
distance per kWh of electricity used on
your plug-in hybrid vehicle. The value is
calculated only when your available
electric range is being used and the
gasoline engine is off. Distance per full charge is also shown. This
is an estimate of the electric range you
would have if you plugged in and fully
charged your vehicle right now. The higher
your electric efficiency, the higher your
distance per full charge.
Your electric efficiency is affected by your
driving style and route, climate control use,
outside temperature and other factors.
Best efficiency is achieved in mild ambient
temperatures with mild to moderate
acceleration and braking, moderate speeds
and low climate control usage.
INFORMATION MESSAGES
Note:
Depending on your vehicle options
and instrument cluster type, not all of the
messages could display or be available.
Certain messages may be abbreviated or
shortened depending upon which cluster
type you have. Press the OK button to acknowledge and
remove some messages from the
information display. Other message will
be removed automatically after a short
time.
Certain messages need to be confirmed
before you can access the menus.
