However, if after 15 seconds the service
engine soon light blinks eight times, it means
that the vehicle is not ready for inspection
maintenance testing. See Emission Control
System (page 184).

If it stays lit or does not light when
you switch on the ignition, this
indicates a malfunction. During a malfunction

displays power demand in kilowatts (kW)
for climate and other accessories.

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 and
heated seats).
• 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.

economy and trip timer.
Distance traveled on battery power only with
the engine off is shown in blue next to total
trip distance.
