Odometer
Located in the bottom of the display. It
registers the accumulated distance your
vehicle has traveled.
Battery Gauge
The high voltage battery gauge provides
Charge Fill (State of Charge), Charge Assist,
and Regen Active information.
Charge Fill
The fill level, or State of Charge indicates the
amount of energy stored in the high-voltage
battery as a percent of total energy capacity.
The level will increase or decrease as the
battery charges and discharges during
normal operation. Charge Assist
The up and down arrows provide information
about the energy going into and out of the
high-voltage battery. The up arrow above
the battery indicates battery charging such
as from regenerative braking. The down
arrow below the battery indicates battery
discharging to provide power for propulsion
or vehicle accessories.
This feature can be switched on or off in the
information displays settings menu. See
(page 110).
Regen Active
A circular arrow symbol appears in the center
of the battery gauge when energy is being
recaptured through the regenerative braking
system. This feature can be switched on or off in the
information displays settings menu.
See
(page 110).
Fuel Gauge
Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly when
your vehicle is moving or on a gradient.
Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much fuel is left
in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the
fuel pump symbol indicates on which side of
your vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
The needle should move toward F when you
refuel your vehicle. If the needle points to E
after adding fuel, this indicates your vehicle
needs service soon.
After refueling some variability in needle
position is normal:

12 Volt DC Power Point
WARNING
Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket (if equipped). Improper use of the
lighter can cause damage not covered by
your warranty, and can result in fire or
serious injury. Note:
If you use this feature when the engine
is not running, then the battery discharges.
There may be insufficient power to restart
your engine.
Note: Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
damages the outlet and blows the fuse.
Note: Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.
Note: Do not use the power point for
operating a cigar lighter element. Note:
Improper use of the power point can
cause damage not covered by your
warranty.
Note: Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.
Run the engine for full capacity use of the
power point. To prevent the battery from
discharging:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the engine is not
running.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when the vehicle is in park
(P) for extended periods of time.
Locations
You may find power points:
• On the center console.
• Inside the center console storage bin.
• On the rear of the center console. 110 Volt AC Power Point and Twisting
Auxiliary Cover (If Equipped) WARNING
Do not keep electrical devices plugged
in the power point whenever the
device is not in use. Do not use any
extension cord with the 110 volt AC power
point, since it will defeat the safety protection
design. Doing so may cause the power point
to overload due to powering multiple devices
that can reach beyond the 150 watt load limit
and could result in fire or serious injury. Note:
The power point turns off when you
switch the ignition off or the battery voltage
drops below 11 volts.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with 110Volt
AC power point and auxiliary twisting cover,
please follow the instructions below for
plugging in devices.
