74Instruments and controlsSpeedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
Odometer
The total recorded distance is
displayed in km.
Battery gauge
This displays the high voltage battery state of charge. The value in the
centre is an estimate of how far the
vehicle can be driven on the
remaining charge based on driving
habits and conditions learned over several days.
The maximum value is shown above
the display and the minimum value
below the display. The values
indicate the longest and shortest
possible range as estimated from
current vehicle conditions and climate
settings.
The mileage estimate and maximum
and minimum numbers are affected
by climate control system usage.
Estimated range may increase or
decrease based on changes in
climate control energy consumption.
A trend bar on the far left indicates
how recent driving habits, vehicle
conditions and climate settings are
affecting the range prediction.
When the high voltage battery state of charge is very low the estimated
range value in the centre will change
to Low . Maximum and minimum
ranges will no longer be displayed.
Additional alerts may display and a
sound may also be heard at low state
of charge.
Driving efficiency gaugeThis gauge is a guide to driving in an
efficient manner.

Range Impacts Since Last Full
Charge
This screen provides an estimate of
the factors that influence energy
usage since the last full charge of the
high voltage battery. A positive
number is desired to reach the
vehicle’s electric economy rating.
● Technique includes speed,
acceleration, and braking.
● Terrain includes road conditions,
such as hills, rain, and snow and
may be affected by wind and tyre pressure.

88Instruments and controls●Climate settings includes how the
heating and air conditioning are
used. Using fan only settings will
help reduce your climate setting
losses.
● Outside temperature includes the
effect that hot or cold air has on
vehicle aerodynamics.
The individual vehicle range impacts
provide an understanding of how electric economy are different from
day-to-day, even when travelling the
same route.
All values are reset after a complete
charge and may not be stable until
approximately 16 km have been
driven.Efficiency History
The Efficiency History graph shows
the average economy over the last
50 km.
The present bar provides the average economy for the current 5 km.
