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

at 80% displays followed by the time at100%. You can modify your vehicle chargesettings on the information andentertainment display. See Setting theCharging Schedule and Preferences(page 184).
Charge Required to Reach Destination
When the navigation system has an activeroute, the instrument cluster displays thecharge level required in order to reach yourdestination and the time when that chargelevel is available.

BRAKE COACH
The brake coach appears after the vehiclehas come to a stop. It coaches you to brakein a manner that maximizes the amountof energy returned through theregenerative braking system.
The percent displayed indicates theregenerative braking efficiency, with 100%representing the maximum amount ofenergy recovery.
Note:While regenerative braking works inall drive modes, brake coach display maynot be available in all drive modes.
You can switch brake coach on or off in thesettings menu on your touchscreen.
1.
Press the button on thetouchscreen.

TRIP DATA
Trip data includes distance, time andenergy economy. Better energy economy,meaning greater efficiency or lowerconsumption, results in increased drivingrange.
Where Did My Energy Go
Displays a breakdown of energyconsumption for your trip.
•Climate Use – This includes energyused by your vehicle’s high voltageclimate control components such asthe electric A/C compressor and theelectric heater.
•Driving and Route – This includesenergy used to propel your vehiclebased on your driving style and route.Your driving style includes how fast youdrive and whether your accelerationand braking is mild or aggressive. Yourroute includes factors such as theamount of city or highway driving androad grades.
•Accessories – This includes energyused for low voltage accessories suchas climate system fans, heated seatsand lighting.
•Exterior Temperature – This includesenergy losses due to outsidetemperature and other conditionswhich reduce vehicle system efficiency.
How Is My Driving
Display’s scores for trip driving behavior.Higher scores result in better energyeconomy.
•Acceleration – Light to moderateacceleration improves your score.
•Braking – We recommend slow andsteady braking.
•Speed – Maintain reasonable vehiclespeeds for best scores.

STARTING AND POWERING
OFF PRECAUTIONS
•The system may not function if theremote control is close to metalobjects or electronic devices, such askeys or a cell phone.
•A valid remote control must be insideyour vehicle to switch the power on andstart your vehicle.
•Remote controls left inside your vehiclewhen locked are disabled. A messagemay appear in the information displayindicating that there is no key detectedwhen you try to start your vehicle.Press the unlock button on the remotecontrol to enable it, and then start yourvehicle.
•Make sure all occupants fasten theirseat belt.
•Make sure the headlamps andelectrical accessories are off.
•Make sure the parking brake is on.
•Make sure the vehicle is in park (P).
STARTING THE VEHICLE
1.Fully press the brake pedal.
Note:Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
2.Press the push button start.
You can also start your vehicle using ValetMode or a Backup Start Passcode. SeePhone as a Key (page 72).
POWERING OFF
WARNING: Do not switch off yourvehicle when it is moving. This results ina significant decrease in braking andsteering assistance. If the vehicle isswitched off, some electrical circuits, forexample airbags, could also turn off.Failure to follow this instruction couldresult in the loss of control of yourvehicle, personal injury or death.
Note:If you unintentionally switch yourvehicle off, shift into neutral (N) and restartyour vehicle.
When your vehicle is not moving and isstarted, or the power is in accessory mode,press and release the push button startwithout pressing the brake pedal. Thisshuts off the vehicle and all electricalaccessories.
When your vehicle is moving, press thepush button start three times within twoseconds, or press and hold for at least onesecond. Shift into neutral (N) and use thebrakes to bring your vehicle to a safe stop.When your vehicle comes to a completestop, shift into park (P).
RESTARTING THE VEHICLE
AFTER POWERING OFF
Fast Restart
The fast restart feature allows you torestart your vehicle within 10 seconds ofswitching it off, even if it does not detecta valid remote control.

BRAKE PRECAUTIONS
Wet brakes result in reduced brakingefficiency. Gently press the brake pedal afew times when leaving a car wash ordriving from standing water to dry thebrakes.
Note:Depending on applicable laws andregulations in the country where your vehiclewas originally built, the stoplamps couldflash during heavy braking. The hazardwarning flashers could also turn on whenyour vehicle comes to a stop.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMLIMITATIONS
The anti-lock braking system does noteliminate the risk of a crash when:
•You drive too close to the vehicle infront of you.
•Your vehicle is hydroplaning.
•You take corners too fast.
•The road surface is poor.
BRAKE OVER ACCELERATOR
If your accelerator pedal becomes stuckor trapped:
•Apply steady and firm pressure to thebrake pedal to slow the vehicle andreduce power.
•Bring your vehicle to a complete stopand place it in park (P).
•Switch the power off.
•Apply the parking brake.
Inspect the accelerator pedal for anyinterference. If none are found and thecondition persists, have your vehiclechecked as soon as possible. If yourvehicle has to be towed, we recommendthat you contact a professional towingservice.
LOCATING THE BRAKE FLUID
RESERVOIR
See Under Hood Overview (page 325).
CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID
WARNING: Do not use any fluidother than the recommended brake fluidas this will reduce brake efficiency. Useof incorrect fluid could result in the lossof vehicle control, serious personal injuryor death.
WARNING: Only use brake fluidfrom a sealed container. Contaminationwith dirt, water, petroleum products orother materials may result in brakesystem damage or failure. Failure toadhere to this warning could result in theloss of vehicle control, serious personalinjury or death.
WARNING: Do not allow the fluidto touch your skin or eyes. If thishappens, rinse the affected areasimmediately with plenty of water andcontact your physician.
WARNING: The brake systemcould be affected if the brake fluid levelis below the MIN mark or above the MAXmark on the brake fluid reservoir.
