POWER GAUGE - HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (HEV)/
PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE (PHEV), VEHICLES
WITH: 6.5 INCH INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER DISPLAY SCREEN
(IF
EQUIPPED)
The power gauge displays power to the
wheels when accelerating or maintaining

foot off the accelerator pedal or pressing
the brake, the gauge displays the power
captured by the regenerative braking
system and returned to the high voltage
battery.
POWER GAUGE - HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (HEV)/
PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE (PHEV), VEHICLES
WITH: 12.3 INCH INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER DISPLAY SCREEN
(IF
EQUIPPED)
The power gauge displays power to the
wheels when accelerating or maintaining
speed. The high voltage battery power and
engine power contributions are
distinguished by color and added together
to indicate total power to the wheels.
When slowing down by lifting your foot off
the accelerator pedal or pressing the brake,
the gauge displays the power captured by
the regenerative braking system and
returned to the high voltage battery.
SPEEDOMETER
Indicates the vehicle speed.
FUEL GAUGE
WHAT IS THE FUEL GAUGE
Indicates approximately how much fuel is
in the fuel tank.
FUEL GAUGE LIMITATIONS
The fuel gauge may not provide an
accurate reading when your vehicle is on
an incline.
LOCATING THE FUEL FILLER
DOOR
The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump
symbol indicates on which side of your
vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
WHAT IS THE LOW FUEL
REMINDER
A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the distance to empty
reaches 75 mi (120 km) to empty for
MyKey, and at 50 mi (80 km), 25 mi
(40 km), 12 mi (20 km) and 0 mi (0 km)
for all vehicle keys.
Note: The low fuel reminder can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal.
WHAT IS DISTANCE TO EMPTY -
GASOLINE, HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE (HEV)
Indicates the approximate distance your
vehicle can travel on the fuel remaining in
the tank. Changes in driving pattern can
cause the value to not only decrease but
also increase or stay constant for periods
of time.

VEHICLE RANGE DISPLAY -
PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE (PHEV)
E308653E308653
For plug-in hybrid vehicles, electric only
driving range is displayed in addition to the
gasoline distance to empty.
Vehicle range indicates the estimated
distance your vehicle can travel with the
energy currently onboard. Estimates vary
based on the energy used when driving.
Changes in driving pattern can cause the
values to not only decrease but also
increase or stay constant for periods of
time.
The amount of energy being used when
driving is affected by:
• Mild or aggressive acceleration orbraking.
• Your vehicle's speed.
• Use of accessories, such as climate control.
• Ambient temperature and weather conditions.
• Driving in a city or on a highway.
• Driving on hilly road conditions.
Note: It is normal for vehicle range
estimates to vary due to changes in average
energy usage. This could cause different
range estimates each time you fully charge
your battery or fill your tank.
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
GAUGE - PLUG-IN HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV)
The high voltage battery gauge displays
the total amount of charge associated with
your available electric only driving range.
A full fill represents the total amount of
energy you can get from an external
charge, plugging your vehicle in. When the
fill reaches empty the powertrain system
switches to hybrid mode. See Hybrid
Electric Vehicle Information (page 179).
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Indicates the engine coolant temperature.
WHAT IS THE INFORMATION
BAR
The information bar displays information
related to the ambient air temperature,
odometer, compass, indicators and
warning lamps.

EV COACH - HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE (HEV)/PLUG-IN
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
(PHEV)
EV coach can help you get the most out of
your vehicle's electric driving capabilities.
Note: EV coach is a selectable screen. See
Customizing the Instrument Cluster
Display (page 124). When you are accelerating or maintaining
speed you see a blue or white solid bar
indicating vehicle power. You may also see
a blue rectangular box which shows the
power level at which the engine turns on.
• When the power level is within the box,
the color of the bar is blue. This means
you are in electric operation and the
engine is off.
• When the power level is outside of the box, the color of the bar is white. This
means you are in hybrid operation with
a combination of the electric motor
and the engine providing vehicle power.
When you are decelerating with either your
foot off the accelerator pedal or on the
brake pedal, a green or white solid bar
displays indicating the power being used
to slow down your vehicle. You may also
see a green rectangular box which shows
the amount of power that can be
recaptured by the regenerative braking
system and returned to the high voltage
battery.
• When the power level is within the box, the color of the bar will be all green.
This means that the regenerative
braking system is being used to
efficiently slow your vehicle down and
return the maximum percentage of
energy to the high voltage battery.
• When the power level is outside of the box, then the bar is white. This means
both the regenerative braking system
and conventional braking system are
being used.
