The main purpose of an eventdata recorder is to record, in certain crashor near crash-like situations, such as anairbag deployment or hitting a roadobstacle; this data will assist inunderstanding how a vehicle’s systemsperformed. The event data recorder isdesigned to record data related to vehicledynamics and safety systems for a shortperiod of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The event data recorder in this vehicle isdesigned to record such data as:
•How various systems in your vehiclewere operating.
•Whether or not the driver andpassenger seatbelts werebuckled/fastened.
•How far (if at all) the driver wasdepressing the accelerator and/or thebrake pedal.
•How fast the vehicle was traveling.
•Where the driver was positioning thesteering wheel.
This data can help provide a betterunderstanding of the circumstances inwhich crashes and injuries occur.

POWER GAUGE - GT
The power gauge displays the amount ofpower going to the wheels whenaccelerating or maintaining speed. Whenthe system limits the available maximumpower, the right side of the gauge showsgray lines representing the proportionalreduction in available power. When slowingdown by lifting your foot off the acceleratorpedal or pressing the brake, the gaugedisplays the amount of power theregenerative system captures and returnsto the high voltage battery.
SPEEDOMETER
Indicates the vehicle speed.
VEHICLE RANGE DISPLAY
Displays the approximate range yourvehicle can travel on the battery's currentstate of charge. Estimates vary based onthe energy used when driving and theenergy available in the high voltage battery.
The amount of energy being used whendriving is affected by:
•Mild or aggressive acceleration orbraking.
•Your vehicle's speed.
•Use of accessories, such as climatecontrol.
•Ambient temperature and weatherconditions.
•Driving in a city or on a highway.
•Driving on flat or hilly roads.
•Towing.
The available energy capacity in the highvoltage battery is affected by coldtemperatures and battery degradation.See Preserving Your High VoltageBattery (page 166).
When your navigation system has an activeroute the distance to your destination ornext charging station is displayed.
Note:It is normal for the vehicle rangeestimates to vary due to changes in averageenergy usage and battery temperature. Thiscould cause different range estimates eachtime you fully charge your battery. SeeMaximizing Your Driving Range (page 302).
Note:When you leave your vehicleunplugged, it periodically uses energy fromthe high voltage battery to recharge the12-volt accessory battery, resulting in areduced driving range.
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
GAUGE
Displays the high voltage battery state ofcharge in the form of a gauge or apercentage. A full fill or 100% chargerepresents the total amount of energy youcan get from plugging your vehicle in.
The gauge is normally blue. When a lowbattery condition is reached the gauge isamber. When the battery is depleted thegauge is red.
When the full battery gauge is displayedand your navigation system has an activeroute, a symbol is added that representsthe battery charge level needed to reachyour destination or next charging station.
Charging Status
Additional charge information displayswhen you power on your vehicle withoutpressing the brake pedal and your vehicleis plugged in. Charging status includes thecharge start or charge end time asappropriate. When DC charging, the time
