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.

Driver Efficiency Gauge
Modern Efficiency Gauge Shown
This gauge is a guide to driving in an
efficient manner.
Efficient Driving
.Modern layout: Keep the ball green and
in the center of the gauge.
.Enhanced layout: Keep the outer ring of
the speedometer green.
Inefficient Driving/Aggressive Braking
.Modern layout: When driving inefficiently,
the ball turns yellow and moves above
the center of the gauge. When braking
aggressively, the ball turns yellow and
moves below the center of the gauge.
.Enhanced layout: The outer ring of the
speedometer turns yellow.
Power Indicator Gauge
The power indicator gauge is on the right
side of the display in the Enhanced layout.
This gauge displays the instantaneous
charge and discharge power flowing either
into or out of the high voltage battery.
Maximum discharge power is available when
the high voltage battery is fully charged.
During normal operation, a slight reduction
in discharge power may occur as the high
voltage battery state of charge decreases.
The power indicator gauge value shows the
instantaneous power used by the battery. Regenerative Braking
When regenerative braking is active, the
regen battery icon with arrows appears
green. 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. The regen battery icon will appear
gray when limited, and a horizontal bar may
display on the gauge, at the level of the
vehicle’s maximum regenerative braking
power.Seat Belt Reminders

The airbag readiness light comes on for
several seconds when the vehicle is started.
If the light does not come on then, have it
fixed immediately.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light stays on
after the vehicle is started or comes on
while driving, it means the airbag system
might not be working properly. The
airbags in the vehicle might not inflate in
a crash, or they could even inflate
without a crash. To help avoid injury,
have the vehicle serviced right away.
If there is a problem with the airbag
system, a Driver Information Center (DIC)
message may also come on.

knee airbag.
If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on
the passenger airbag status indicator, it
means that the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag are allowed
to inflate.
If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on
the passenger airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger sensing system
has turned off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag.
If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, or if there are no
lights at all, there may be a problem with
the lights or the passenger sensing system.
See your dealer for service.

crossed. If the system detects that the
vehicle has been steered intentionally across
a lane marker, the LDW may not be given.
Do not expect the LDW to occur when
intentionally crossing the lane marker.
LKA will not assist or alert if the turn signal
is active in the direction of lane departure,
or if LKA detects that you are accelerating,
braking, or actively steering.
