•
Accessory Power — Indicates electrical power demands from your vehicle ’s
accessory systems. Accessories use power but do not contribute to propelling
the vehicle. The gauge separately displays power demand in kilowatts (kW)
for climate and other accessories.
Climate includes the power being used by high voltage climate control
components such as the electric A/C compressor and the electric heater (Energi
vehicles only)
Other includes all power being used by the low voltage accessories (cabin fans,
headlights, heated seats, etc.).
• Coolant Temp – Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normal operating
temperature, the level indicator will be white and will be in the normal range
(between H and C). If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the normal
range, the level indicator will change to red to indicate that the engine is
overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, turn off the vehicle
and let the engine cool.
The thermometer indicator next to the gauge will illuminate in blue or white to
indicate the following:
• Blue thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is not warm enough
to allow EV operation. The gasoline engine will typically run continuously
when the indicator is blue.
Note: During silent key start mode, the thermometer indicator will be blue, but
the gasoline engine will not run. This is the result of the vehicle computer allowing
the engine to be cooler during the silent key start period. This is normal operation
and does not indicate a problem with your vehicle. After the first engine start the
indicator will turn white when the gasoline engine is warm enough to turn off.
• White thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is warm enough
to allow EV operation. If the vehicle operates on battery power long enough,
it is possible that the gasoline engine may need to run to keep the system
warm. In this case, the thermometer indicator will revert back to blue.
• Tach rpm x 1000 — When the gasoline engine is running, the tachometer
gauge displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). When the
vehicle is operating on battery power only with the engine off, EV is displayed
and the tachometer is greyed out.
Note: The trip data, and average fuel economy cannot be reset in MyView.
