HYBRID DISPLAY
INFORMATION
WHAT IS EV COACH
EV coach helps you get the most of your
vehicle's electrical driving and regenerative
braking capabilities.
HOW DOES EV COACH WORK
When accelerating or maintaining speed,
a blue or white solid bar displays. This
indicates vehicle power. A blue rectangular
box could also display that shows the
power level that the engine turns on at. When the power level displays in the
rectangular box, it is blue which indicates
you are in electric only operation.
When the power level displays outside of
the rectangular box, it is white which
indicates you are in hybrid operation.
When you are decelerating, either releasing
the accelerator pedal or applying the
brake, you see a green or white solid bar
which indicates the power being used to
slow your vehicle down. A green
rectangular box could also display that
shows the amount of power that can be
recaptured by the regenerative braking
system and returned to the high voltage
battery.
When the power level displays in the
rectangular box, it is green which indicates
that the regenerative braking system is
being used to slow down your vehicle and
return the maximum amount of energy to
the high voltage battery.
When the power level displays outside of
the rectangular box, it is white which
indicates both regenerative and
conventional braking systems are in use.
WHAT IS BRAKE COACH
The brake coach appears after the vehicle
has come to a stop. It coaches you to brake
in a manner that maximizes the amount
of energy returned through the
regenerative braking system.
The percent displayed is an indication of
the regenerative braking efficiency with
100% representing the maximum amount
of energy recovery. You can switch brake
coach on or off in the settings menu on
your touchscreen.
