vehicle has traveled.
Battery Gauge:
An optional small battery gauge is provided
for Hybrid vehicles. This can be enabled in
the Settings menu under Battery Display.
See General Information (page 110). 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. Regen Display
can be disabled in the Settings menu. See
General Information (page 110).
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates about how much
fuel is 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.
Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly when
your vehicle is moving or on a slope. Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the distance to empty reaches
75 mi (120 km)
to empty for MyKey, and at
50 mi (80 km), 25 mi (40 km), 10 mi (20 km)
and 0 mi (0 km) for all vehicle keys.
Note: The low fuel reminder can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
