Charge Cord Status Indicators
SeeCharge Cord 0222.
Charge Level Selection
Charge level selection can be made
using the Charge Limit Preference
screen on the center stack. See
“Charge Limit Selection” under
Programmable Charging 0119.
{Warning
Using a charge level that exceeds
the electrical circuit or electrical
outlet capacity may start a fire or
damage the electrical circuit. Use
the lowest charge level until a
qualified electrician inspects the
electrical circuit capacity. Use the
lowest charge level if the
electrical circuit or electrical outlet
capacity is not known.
Fueling
The fuel system on this vehicle
requires a refueling process to
control evaporative emissions. To
refuel the vehicle:
1. Press the fuel door button on
the driver door for one second.
A WAIT TO REFUEL message
displays on the Driver
Information Center.
2. When the READY TO REFUELmessage displays, the fuel
door on the passenger side will
unlock. To open the fuel door,
push and release the rearward
center edge of the door.
3. Turn the fuel cap counterclockwise to remove.
While refueling, hang the fuel
cap tether from the hook on the
inside of the fuel door.
Complete refueling within
30 minutes of pressing the fuel
door button on the driver door.
If refueling after more than
30 minutes, press the fuel door
button again.
4. After refueling, reinstall the fuel cap by turning it clockwise until
it clicks. Close the fuel door.

Regenerative Braking
Regenerative braking takes some of
the energy from the moving vehicle
and turns it back into electrical
energy. This energy is then stored in

106 Instruments and Controls
Here are some things that owners
ask about. None of these show a
problem with the fuel gauge:
.At the service station, the fuel
pump shuts off before the gauge
reads full.
. It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the gauge
indicated. For example, the
gauge may have indicated the
tank was half full, but it actually
took a little more or less than
half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
. The gauge takes a few seconds
to stabilize after the ignition is
turned on, and goes back to
empty when the ignition is
turned off.Driver Efficiency Gauge
This gauge appears on the left side
of the display in the Classic
Enhanced configuration.
This gauge is a guide to driving in
an efficient manner by keeping the
ball green and in the center of the
gauge. See
Driving for Better Energy
Efficiency 026.
accel : If the ball turns yellow and
travels above the center of the
gauge, acceleration is too
aggressive to optimize efficiency.
brake : If the ball turns yellow and
travels below the center of the
gauge, braking is too aggressive to
optimize efficiency.
In the Modern display
configurations, the light ring in the
center of the display acts as an
efficiency gauge. It is green when
driving efficiently and turns yellow
when acceleration or braking is too
aggressive.
