The hybrid system is storing power in the
high-voltage battery.
Status: Charging HV Battery
The vehicle is either at rest, or sharing very
little power between the electric system parts.
Status: Idle
The vehicle is driving in electric mode (the
power is coming from the electric motor). The
gasoline engine is off in this mode.
Status: Electric Drive
Shows the direction of power flow between the wheels and the electric mo\
tor.
Motor-to-Wheel Flow
B
Represents the hybrid electric motor. The higher the motor power is, the larger the
circle around this node. Any time the vehicle is ready to be driven, the motor node
illuminates.
Electric Motor
C
Shows the direction of power flow between the high-voltage battery and t\
he electric
motor. Flow toward the motor indicates the battery is providing power to acce\
lerate
the vehicle (discharging the battery). Flow toward the battery indicat\
es the electric
motor is providing power to the battery (charging the battery).

Includes all power usage from the low voltage accessories such as the cl\
imate control
fan, headlights and heated seats. The higher the power usage is from the\
se
accessories, the larger the circle around the node. This node illuminates anytime the
vehicle is on since there is always some low level power in use.

Other
E
Includes the power usage from the high-voltage climate control component\
s such
as the electric A/C compressor. The higher the power usage is from these compon-
ents, the larger the circle around this node.

Climate
F
Represents your high-voltage battery. A circle illuminates around the node when the
high-voltage battery is receiving power from regenerative braking or eng\
ine charging.
The higher the power going into the high-voltage battery, the larger the circle around
this node.
Battery
G
Represents the fuel tank in the vehicle.
Fuel
H
Shows flow from the fuel tank to the engine when the engine is on and us\
ing fuel
(there are some cases where the engine is on, but not using any fuel).\
When the
engine is on, but not using fuel, the engine node is active, but the fuel flow path is
off. An example of this is when your foot is off the accelerator pedal and \
the vehicle
is traveling at a high speed.
Fuel-to-Engine Flow
I
Provides you with the reason(s) the gasoline engine is on. When the ga\
soline engine
is off, this display does not appear. Engine On due to reasons displayed by the system
are in a chart following this list.

Engine On due to
The engine is on because of the heater setting. Reduce or turn off the heater setting to
return to electric mode.
Heater Setting
The engine is on because the vehicle speed exceeds the level for electric mode operation.
Reduce the speed to return to electric mode.
High Speed
The engine is on when applying pressure to the accelerator pedal or swit\
ching on the
speed control. Reduce pressure on the accelerator pedal or switch off the speed control
to return to full electric mode.
Drive Power
The engine is on because the vehicle is in neutral gear. Shift out of neutral gear to return
to electric mode.
Neutral Gear
The engine is on because the vehicle is in low gear. Shift out of low gear to return to
electric mode.
Low Gear
The engine is on to charge the high-voltage battery. The vehicle returns to electric mode
once the battery is charged.
Battery Charging
The engine is on to optimize vehicle operation. The vehicle returns to e\
lectric mode
when possible.
Normal Operation
The engine is on to provide increased powertrain braking. This can occur\
when you turn
on the grade assist feature, when speed control is on or when driving with your foot off
the accelerator pedal. Turning off grade assist or speed control may allow the vehicle to
return to electric mode.
