88 Instruments and Controls
Traction Control System (TCS)/
StabiliTrak Light
This light comes on briefly when the vehicle
is turned on.
If the light does not come on, have the
vehicle serviced by your dealer. If the
system is working normally, the indicator
light turns off.
If the light is on and not flashing, the TCS
and potentially the StabiliTrak/ESC system
are not fully operational and may not assist
in maintaining control. Adjust driving
accordingly. If the condition persists, see
your dealer as soon as possible. A Driver
Information Center (DIC) message may
display.
The light flashes when the TCS and/or the
StabiliTrak/ESC system is actively working.
SeeTraction Control/Electronic Stability
Control 0175.
Tire Pressure Light
For vehicles with the Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS), this light comes on briefly
when the vehicle is started. It provides
information about tire pressures and
the TPMS.
When the Light Is On Steady
This indicates that one or more of the tires
are significantly underinflated.
A Driver Information Center (DIC) tire
pressure message may also display. Stop as
soon as possible, and inflate the tires to the
pressure value shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See Tire Pressure
0 243.
When the Light Flashes First and Then Is On
Steady
If the light flashes for about a minute and
then stays on, there may be a problem with
the TPMS. If the problem is not corrected, the light will come on at every ignition
cycle. See
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation
0 245.
Security Light
The security light should come on briefly as
the vehicle is started. If it does not come
on, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer.
If the system is working normally, the
indicator light turns off.
If the light stays on and the vehicle does
not start, there could be a problem with the
theft-deterrent system.

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.

DIC Info Pages
The following is the list of all possible DIC
info page displays. Some may not be
available for your particular vehicle. Some
items may not be turned on by default but
can be turned on through the Options app.
See “DIC Info Page Options” earlier in this
section.
Trip and Average Electrical Energy
Economy : The Trip display shows the
current distance traveled, in either
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 :
Shows the average speed
of the vehicle in kilometers per hour (km/h)
or miles per hour (mph). This average is
calculated based on the various vehicle
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
amber.

another.
The messages that do not require
immediate action can be acknowledged and
cleared by pressing the thumbwheel. The messages that require immediate action
cannot be cleared until that action is
performed.
All messages should be taken seriously;
clearing the message does not correct the
problem.
If a SERVICE message appears, see your
dealer.

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

the number of occupant seating
positions (1), and the maximum vehicle
capacity weight (2) in kilograms and
pounds.
The Tire and Loading Information label
also shows the tire size of the original
equipment tires (3) and the
recommended cold tire inflation
pressures (4). For more information on
tires and inflation seeTires0238 and
Tire Pressure 0243.
There is also important loading
information on the Certification label.
It may show the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) and the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR) for the front and
rear axle. See “Certification Label” later
in this section.
“Steps for Determining Correct Load
Limit–
1.Locate the statement "The combined
weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX kg or
XXX lbs." on your vehicle’s placard.
2.Determine the combined weight of
the driver and passengers that will
be riding in your vehicle.
3.Subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from XXX kg
or XXX lbs.
4.The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For example,
if the "XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs.
and there will be five 150 lb
passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5.Determine the combined weight of
luggage and cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calculated in
Step 4.
6.If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult
this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your
vehicle.”
This vehicle is neither designed nor
intended to tow a trailer.
Example 1
1.Vehicle Capacity Weight for
Example 1 = 453 kg (1,000 lbs).
2.Subtract Occupant Weight @
68 kg (150 lbs) × 2 = 136 kg
(300 lbs).
3.Available Occupant and Cargo
Weight = 317 kg (700 lbs).
