Warning Lights, Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can signal that
something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair
or replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could prevent
injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly when
the propulsion system is started to indicate
they are working. When one of the warning
lights comes on and stays on while driving,
or when one of the gauges shows there
may be a problem, check the section that
explains what to do. Waiting to do repairs
can be costly and even dangerous.

English Single Battery Gauge Shown, OthersSimilar
This displays the high voltage battery state
of charge. The value at the bottom is an
estimate of how far the vehicle can be
driven on the remaining charge based on
recent driving habits, conditions, and HVAC
usage.
The fill bars shown inside of the gauge
indicate the percentage range as estimated
from current vehicle conditions and climate
settings. The range estimate on the bottom
also may be affected by climate settings,
current vehicle conditions and ambient
conditions. Estimated range may increase
and decrease based on climate control
energy consumption. Driving aggressively through hard
acceleration and/or braking events, excessive
HVAC usage, using heated or cooled seats,
battery preconditioning, and performance
modes can affect vehicle range estimates.
When the high voltage battery state of
charge level gets low, the gauge will change
color to amber. When the charge is very low
the gauge will flash, and the estimated
range value on the bottom will change to
LOW. Additional alerts may display and a
sound may also be heard at low state of
charge.
Power Indicator Gauge
Single Power Indicator Gauge Shown, Others
Similar The power indicator gauge is in the center
of the display to the right of the
speedometer in the Single Gauge layout.
This gauge displays the instantaneous
charge and consumption power of the high
voltage battery. Maximum power
consumption is available when the high
voltage battery is fully charged. During
normal operation, a slight reduction in
consumption power may occur as the high
voltage battery state of charge decreases.
Regenerative Braking
When regenerative braking is active, the
regen battery icon displays and will fill the
lower section of the gauge. The power
indicator gauge value shows the amount of
instantaneous power being regenerated.
Regenerative Power Limited
Regenerative power may be limited when
the high voltage battery is near full charge
or cold. This will affect the vehicle’s
maximum regenerative braking power.
