Engage
Engage provides separate gauges for
engine power and high voltage battery
power in kilowatts (kW). The engine power
gauge fill is white and the high voltage
battery power gauge fill is blue. You can
also see an instantaneous fuel economy
gauge. When your vehicle is operating on
battery power only, you will see EV
displayed and the gauges will appear in
blue.
Empower
Empower provides a power demand gauge
in kilowatts (kW) which includes an engine
on or off threshold.
•
When your vehicle is operating with
battery power only (below the
threshold), you will see EV displayed
and the gauge fill is blue.
• When your vehicle is operating with
both the engine and the high voltage
battery providing power the gauge fill
is white.
• When power demand surpasses the
amber indicator, this level of demand
and associated fuel economy displays
in amber.
• When the engine is on, reducing power
demand to less than the threshold will
allow the engine to turn off.
You can also see an instantaneous fuel
economy gauge.
Note: You can reset your average fuel
economy by pressing and holding the OK
button on the left hand steering wheel
controls.
MyView
You can choose what to display in this
view. Selecting
Change MyView in the
options menu allows you to scroll through
two columns of content choices. •
Press the up or down arrow to view
content.
• Press
OK to save your selected
content.
• You must select content in both
columns before you can save your new
MyView.
Unique content available in MyView:
• Accessory Power — Indicates electrical
power demands from your vehicle ’s
accessory systems. Accessories use
power but do not contribute to
propelling your vehicle. The gauge
separately displays power demand in
kilowatts (kW) for climate and other
accessories. Climate includes the
power being used by high voltage
climate control components such as
the electric A/C compressor. Other
includes all power being used by the
low voltage accessories (cabin fans,
headlights, heated seats, etc.).
• Coolant Temp – Indicates engine
coolant temperature. At normal
operating temperature, the level
indicator will be white and will be in the
normal range (between H and C). If the
engine coolant temperature exceeds
the normal range, the level indicator
will change to red to indicate that the
engine is overheating. Stop your vehicle
as soon as safely possible, turn your
vehicle off and let the engine cool.
• Tach rpm x 1000 — When the gasoline
engine is running, the tachometer
gauge displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM). When
your vehicle is operating on battery
power only with the engine off, EV
displays and the tachometer is greyed
out.
Note: The trip data, and average fuel
economy cannot be reset in MyView.
