Vehicle Range— Indicates the estimated distance the vehicle will
travel with the energy currently available. For Hybrid, the vehicle range
estimate is based on the fuel remaining in the gasoline tank. For Energi,
the total estimated distance equals the distance available in Hybrid Mode
fueled by gasoline, plus the EV distance available in Plug-in Power
Mode. Changes in driving pattern may cause the values to vary.
Instantaneous Fuel— This gauge is available on all Display mode
screens and shows the instantaneous fuel economy. It can be selected on
or off through the Options sub-menu. From any main display a right arrow
press on the steering wheel controls will take you to the Options
sub-menu.
Instantaneous fuel economy is displayed in miles per gallon, kilometers
per liter, or liters per 100 kilometers. Your vehicle must be moving to
calculate average fuel economy. If your instantaneous fuel economy is
greater than the maximum value the graph can display,a+signwillbe
shown next to maximum scale number. When the vehicle is operating on
battery power only, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue.
For Energi vehicles, in the Display section of the Settings menu you
can choose your fuel economy units as Fuel only or fuel + electric.
When fuel + electric is chosen your electrical energy use during
Plug-in Power Mode is included in your instantaneous fuel economy.
This is based on its equivalent energy in terms of gallons or liters of
gasoline. The units will be displayed as MPGe, which reads miles per
gallon equivalent, and similarly, km/Le and Le/100km.

requesting by how much you press on the accelerator pedal.
When power demand is below the threshold the vehicle is operating on
battery power only, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue.
