Charge Assist
The up and down arrows provideinformation about the energy going intoand out of the high voltage battery. The uparrow above the battery indicates batterycharging such as from regenerative braking.The down arrow below the batteryindicates battery discharging to providepower for propulsion or vehicleaccessories.
Regen Active
A circular arrow symbol appears in thecenter of the battery gauge when energyis being recaptured through theregenerative braking system.
This feature can be switched on or off inthe information displays settings menu.See General Information (page 93).
Fuel Gauge:
Note:The fuel gauge may vary slightlywhen your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge willindicate approximately how much fuel isleft in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent tothe fuel pump symbol indicates on whichside of your vehicle the fuel filler door islocated.
The needle should move toward F whenyou refuel your vehicle. If the needle pointsto E after adding fuel, this indicates yourvehicle needs service soon.
After refueling some variability in needleposition is normal:
•It may take a short time for the needleto reach F after leaving the gas station.This is normal and depends upon theslope of pavement at the gas station.
•The fuel amount dispensed into thetank is a little less or more than thegauge indicated. This is normal anddepends upon the slope of pavementat the gas station.
•If the gas station nozzle shuts offbefore the tank is full, try a differentgas pump nozzle.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers when the fuelgauge needle is at 1/16th.
