Power
Motor-to-wheel flow shows the direction of power flow between the wheels
and the electric motor.
A
Electric Motor
represents the hybrid electric motor. The higher the motor
power is, the larger the circle around this node. Any time the vehicle is ready
to be driven, the motor node illuminates.
B
Battery-to-motor flow 1
shows the direction of power flow between the
high-voltage battery and the electric motor. Flow toward the motor indicates
the battery is providing power to accelerate the vehicle (discharging t\
he battery).
Flow toward the battery indicates the electric motor is providing power \
to the
battery (charging the battery).
C
Other 2
includes all power usage from the low voltage accessories such as the
climate control fan, headlights and heated seats. The higher the power u\
sage
is from these accessories, the larger the circle around the node. This node
illuminates anytime the vehicle is on since there is always some low lev\
el power
in use.
D
Climate 2,3
includes the power usage from the high-voltage climate control
components such as the electric A/C compressor. The higher the power usage
is from these components, the larger the circle around this node.

High voltage battery power represents your high-voltage battery. A circle
illuminates around the node when the high-voltage battery is receiving p\
ower
from regenerative braking or engine charging. The higher the power going\
into the high-voltage battery, the larger the circle around this node.
F
Fuel
represents the fuel tank in the vehicle.
G
Fuel-to-engine flow
shows flow from the fuel tank to the engine when the
engine is on and using fuel (there are some cases where the engine is o\
n, but
not using any fuel). When the engine is on, but not using fuel, the eng\
ine node
is active, but the fuel flow path is off. An example of this is when your foot is
off the accelerator pedal and the vehicle is traveling at a high speed.
H
Engine On due to
provides you with the reason(s) the gasoline engine is on.
When the gasoline engine is off, this display does not appear. Engine On due
to
reasons displayed by the system are in a chart following this list.
I
Motor-to-engine flow
shows the direction of power flow between the engine
and the electric motor. The direction indicates if the engine is providing power
to the high-voltage electrical system, or if the high-voltage electrical\
system is
providing power to control or start the engine.
J
Engine power
represents the gasoline engine. It illuminates only when the
gasoline engine is on. The higher the engine power is, the larger the ci\
rcle
around this node.
K
Engine-to-wheels flow
shows the direction of the power flow between the
engine and the wheels.
L
Drive power
represents the power going to the wheels. The higher the wheel
power is, the larger the circle around this node. When the engine is off, drive
power is shown in blue. When the engine is on, drive power is shown in grey.
M
1 The battery-to-motor flow includes battery
power the vehicle is using for acceleration.
It does not include energy the vehicle is
using for accessories (such as air
conditioning, headlights and radio). This
screen displays accessories and climate
usage separately. 2
Accessories
indicates electrical power
demands from your vehicle ’s accessory
systems. Accessories use power but do
not contribute to making the vehicle move.
The power flow displays power usage from
the climate control system and other
accessories separately.
3 The climate control system may determine
A/C is necessary even when you turn it off.
In this case, you may see some climate
power when the A/C is off.
