Odometer
The odometer shows how far the vehicle has
been driven, in either kilometers or miles.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven since the trip
odometer was last reset.
The trip odometer is accessed and reset
through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
See Driver Information Center (DIC) 099.
Battery Gauge (High Voltage)
Enhanced Battery Gauge Shown This displays the high voltage battery state
of charge and the vehicle range prediction.
The value in the center is an estimate of
how far the vehicle can be driven on the
remaining charge based on driving habits
and conditions learned.
The range estimate and Max and Min
numbers may be affected by climate
settings, current vehicle conditions, and
ambient conditions. Estimated range may
increase and decrease based on climate
control energy consumption.
A trend bar on the far left estimates how
recent driving habits, conditions, and climate
settings are affecting the range prediction.
When the high voltage battery state of
charge is very low, the estimated range
value in the center will change to Low. Max
and Min ranges will no longer be displayed.
Additional alerts may display and a sound
may also be heard at low state of charge.

Level 1-120V Cord Limit
The Level 1-120V Cord Limit setting allows
the vehicle’s charge level to be selected so it
matches the capability of the charging
location. If the vehicle consistently stops
charging after plugging in, or if a circuit
breaker continues to trip, reducing the Level
1-120V Cord Limit may resolve the issue.
The Level 1-120V Cord Limit should be
configured to match the electrical current
rating for the electrical outlet that the
charge cord is connected to. The Level 1-120V
Cord Limit settings are:
.Reduced: Limits AC current to 8 amps
.Maximum: Limits AC current to 12 amps
.Quick Access: When this is on, the setting
is shown on the Charging Status screen
and Level 1-120V Cord Limit can be
accessed from the Charging Status screen.
Exact current levels may vary from the
values shown in this manual. Check the

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).

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.
