WHAT IS ELECTRIC
EFFICIENCY - PLUG-IN HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV)
This screen shows your average driving
distance per kilowatt-hour of electricity
used on your plug-in hybrid vehicle. The
value is calculated only when your
available electric range is being used and
the gasoline engine is off.
Distance per full charge is also shown. This
is an estimate of the electric range you
would have if you plugged in and fully
charged your vehicle right now. The higher
your electric efficiency, the higher your
distance per full charge.
Your electric efficiency is affected by your
driving style and route, climate control use,
outside temperature and other factors.
Best efficiency is achieved with mild to
moderate acceleration and braking,
moderate speeds and low climate control
usage.
Note:Electric efficiency is a selectable
screen. See Customizing the Instrument
Cluster Display (page 124).
WHAT IS BRAKE COACH -
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE

The brake coach appears after your vehicle
has come to a stop. It coaches you to brake
in a manner that maximizes the amount
of energy returned through the
regenerative braking system. The percent displayed is an indication of
the regenerative braking efficiency with
100% representing the maximum amount
of energy re
covered. You can switch brake
coach on or off in the settings menu. See
Instrument Cluster Display Main Menu
(page 124).
WHAT IS THE TRIP SUMMARY
- HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
(HEV)/PLUG-IN HYBRID

PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE INFORMATION
WHAT IS A PLUG-IN HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE
A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle combines
a gasoline engine with an electric motor
and rechargeable high voltage battery
allowing you to use only electricity to
power your vehicle.
HOW DOES A PLUG-IN HYBRID
ELECTRIC VEHICLE WORK
Charging your vehicle adds electrical
energy that propels the vehicle. Regularly
plug in your vehicle to get optimal
electric-only range capability from the high
voltage battery. The system maximizes the
use of electric-only operation in normal
drive mode whenever possible. System
conditions could require the engine to
operate when necessary.
When the electric-only range reaches zero,
the powertrain system switches to hybrid
operation. This means that you have
depleted the energy you gained from
plugging in and charging your vehicle. Both
the gasoline engine and electric motor
power your vehicle and maximize fuel
economy during hybrid operation. You
receive some electric-only driving with
hybrid operation as the powertrain system
maintains the high voltage battery charge
within functional limits.
PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE DRIVING
CHARACTERISTICS
The gasoline engine starts and stops to
provide power when required and to save
fuel when not needed. Restarting your
vehicle is not required. Simply step on the
accelerator when you are ready to drive.
When coasting at low speeds, coming to
a stop or standing, the gas engine normally
shuts down and your vehicle operates in
electric-only mode.
Conditions that may cause the gasoline
engine to start or remain running include:
• Considerable vehicle acceleration.
• Driving uphill.
• The high voltage battery charge levelis low.
• Heating or cooling the vehicle interior in high or low outside temperatures.
• The gasoline engine is below normal operating temperature.
• Towing a trailer.
• Certain drive modes could cause the engine to run. See Drive Mode
Control (page 257).
Note: Having your engine running is not
always an indication of inefficiency. In some
cases, it is actually more efficient than
driving in electric mode.
Your plug-in hybrid electric vehicle has
several EV drive modes to enhance your
driving experience. See Selecting a
Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle Drive
Mode (page 259).
Your hybrid vehicle also comes with
standard hydraulic braking and
regenerative braking. Regenerative braking
is performed by your transmission and
captures brake energy and stores it in the
high voltage battery.
