charge during Off-Peak rates only, then the
vehicle will start charging immediately upon
plug-in.
Charge Completion
When the cost would be the same, based on
utility rates, the earliest or latest possible
time for a charge to complete can be
selected. For example, if Off-Peak charge
time is 12 am to 6 am and only three hours
of charge are needed, Earliest Possible would
start charging at 12 am and Latest Possible
would start charging at 3 am. Use the
Earliest Possible setting to charge as soon as
possible. Use the Latest Possible setting to
optimize energy usage.
To edit the Charge Completion:1. From the Utility Rate Charging screen, touch Charge Completion.
2. Select Earliest Possible or Latest Possible. Rate Schedule Type
Utility rates, or cost per unit, may vary
based on time, weekday/weekend, and
season. During the day when the demand
for electricity is high, the rates are usually
higher and are called Peak rates. At night
when the demand for electricity is low, the
rates are usually lower and are called
Off-Peak rates. In some areas, a Mid-Peak
rate is offered.
Contact the utility company to obtain the
rate schedule for your area. The summer
and winter start dates must be established
to use a summer/winter schedule.

Energy Detail
This screen displays how energy is being
used since the last time the high voltage
battery was fully charged. It includes Driving
and Accessories, Climate Settings, and
Battery Conditioning. The circle graph
displays these percentages. Energy used,
distance traveled, efficiency since last full
charge, and lifetime efficiency are also
displayed.Range ImpactsThis screen provides an estimate of the
factors that influence energy usage since the
last full charge of the high voltage battery.
Each factor is evaluated for energy gains or
losses, and the total equivalent distance is
indicated by the value on the upper right
side of the screen. All values are reset after
a complete charge.
.Technique
includes speed, acceleration,
and braking. Lower speeds will increase
electric vehicle technique miles, while
higher speeds will reduce them.
.Terrain includes road conditions, such as
hills, rain, and snow. External factors like
wind will also positively or negatively
impact Terrain. Low tire pressure will
worsen Terrain performance.
.Climate Settings includes how the heating
and air conditioning are used. Using Fan
Only settings will help reduce climate
setting losses. See “Climate Controls.”
.Outside Temperature includes the effect
that hot or cold ambient temperature has
on the battery performance and
propulsion system efficiency.
The individual factors provide an
understanding of how energy usage is
different from day to day, even when
traveling the same route.
Efficiency History
This screen displays a graph showing the
energy efficiency that has been used over
the last 50 km (50 mi). The Present point
provides the average energy efficiency for
the current 5 km (5 mi).
Touch Reset to clear the history data.

kilometers (km) or miles (mi), since the trip
odometer was last reset. The trip odometer
can be reset by pressing and holding the
thumbwheel while this display is active. The Average Electrical Energy Economy
display shows the approximate average
kilometers per kWh (km/kWh) or miles per
kWh(mi/kWh). This number is calculated
based on the number of km/kWh recorded
since the last time this menu item was
reset. This number reflects only the
approximate average electrical energy
economy that the vehicle has right now,
and will change as driving conditions
change. The Average Electrical Energy
Economy can be reset along with the trip
odometer by pressing and holding the
thumbwheel while this display is active.
Average Speed :

speeds recorded since the last reset of this
value. The average speed can be reset by
pressing and holding the thumbwheel while
this display is active.
Tire Pressure : Shows the approximate
pressures of all four tires. Tire pressure is
displayed in either kilopascal (kPa) or in
pounds per square inch (psi). If the pressure
is low, the value for that tire is shown in

Propulsion Power Messages
PROPULSION POWER IS REDUCED
This message displays when the vehicle's
propulsion power is reduced. A reduction in
propulsion power can affect the vehicle's
ability to accelerate. If this message is on,
but there is no observed reduction in
performance, proceed to your destination.
Under certain conditions the performance
may be reduced the next time the vehicle is
driven. The vehicle may be driven while this
message is on, but maximum acceleration
and speed may be reduced. Anytime this
message stays on, or displays repeatedly,
the vehicle should be taken to your dealer
for service as soon as possible.
Under certain operating conditions
propulsion will be disabled. Try restarting
after the ignition has been off for
30 seconds.
PROPULSION POWER REDUCED DUE TO
TEMPERATURE
This message is most commonly displayed
when the high voltage battery charge level
is low. The vehicle is limiting power to
maximize range. This message can display
when the vehicle is parked during extreme

While driving the vehicle with this message
displayed, the vehicle speed may be reduced
until the high voltage battery is conditioned.
