Electric Range:
Electric range is the estimated distance
you can travel in Plug-in Power Mode with
the engine off. This is based on the amount
of energy available in the high voltage
battery and your average energy usage
while driving.
The amount of energy in the battery refers
to the energy gained from charging the
battery while plugged in.
Energy usage is affected by:
• Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking.
• Your vehicle speed.
• Your use of accessories such as climate
control.
• The ambient temperature and other
weather conditions.
• City or highway driving.
• Road grades. Note:
It is normal for your electric range
estimate to vary from charge to charge due
to changes in average energy usage.
Energy Use Gauge:
Your current energy use is the white line
that moves up and down in the gauge. A
higher line means you are using more
energy (lower is better). Your energy use
includes input from the accelerator pedal
as well as the accessories, such as climate
control.
When operating in EV Now a blue cup
shape is shown around the gauge. This
represents the maximum energy usage you
can maintain in order to achieve the
estimated electric range when EV Now
mode began. Keep your current energy use
mostly within the cup while driving and you
should achieve your electric range
estimate.
Climate Power Gauge:
Indicates high voltage electrical power
demand from you vehicle ’s high voltage
climate control components including the
electric A/C compressor and the electric
heater. These components use power but
do not contribute to propelling your vehicle.
The gauge displays power demand in
kilowatts (kW).
Trip 1 & 2
Provides trip odometer, trip average fuel
economy and trip timer.
Distance traveled on battery power only
with the engine off is shown in blue next
to total trip distance.
For Energi vehicles total plug-in electricity
