Information On Demand
Displays selected on-demand information
screens. See General Information (page
134).
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
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal. Battery Gauge
The high voltage battery gauge displays the
total amount of charge associated with your
available electric only driving range. A full fill
represents the total amount of energy you
can get from an external charge (plugging
your vehicle in). When the fill reaches empty
the powertrain system automatically switches
to hybrid operation.
See Plug-In Hybrid
Vehicle Operation (page 222).

Vehicle Driving Range
Vehicle range indicates the estimated
distance your vehicle will travel with the
energy currently onboard. Estimates will vary
based on the energy used while driving.
Changes in driving pattern can cause the
values to not only decrease but also increase
or stay constant for periods of time.
The amount of energy being used while
driving is affected by:
•
Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking.
• Your vehicle speed.
• Use of accessories such as climate
control. •
Ambient temperature and other weather
conditions.
• Driving in a city or on a highway.
• Driving on hilly road conditions.
Note: It is normal for vehicle range estimates
to vary due to changes in average energy
usage. This is why you typically see different
range estimates each time you fill up your
fuel tank or fully charge your battery.
Gasoline Distance to Empty
Indicates the approximate distance your
vehicle can travel on the fuel remaining in
the tank.
Electric Range
Indicates the approximate distance your
vehicle can travel on electric power only with
the engine off. Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge WARNING: Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10
minutes for the cooling system to cool
down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap with
a thick cloth to prevent the possibility of
scalding and slowly remove the cap.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury.
Indicates engine coolant temperature. At
normal operating temperature, the level
indicator is in the normal range. If the engine
coolant temperature exceeds the normal
range, stop your vehicle as soon as safely
possible, switch off the engine and let the
engine cool.
