Efficiency Leaves

Efficiency leaves indicate short term driving efficiency. The more leaves and vines that are displayed, the better your fuel economy. Leaves and vines will occasionally appear and disappear to indicate a change in driving efficiency.

Note:The efficiency leaves display can be

impacted by your use of brakes, accelerator and accessories, as well as environmental conditions such as hills and weather. Common Displays

Fuel Economy Displays:

Displays your average and instantaneous fuel economy on most Display Mode screens.

Note:You can reset your average fuel

economy by pressing and holding the OK button on the left hand steering wheel controls.

• Average Fuel Economy - is

continuously averaged since the last reset. You can reset your average fuel economy by pressing and holding the OK button on the left hand steering wheel controls. For Energi vehicles both Hybrid and Plug-in Power mode operation will be included in the calculation.

• Instantaneous Fuel Economy - If your instantaneous fuel economy is greater than the maximum value displayed, a + sign will be shown next to the maximum scale number. When the vehicle is operating on battery power only, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in blue.

Battery Gauge:

Note:Battery gauge information can be

individually selected on or off through Battery Display in the Options sub-menu. From any main display a right arrow press on the steering wheel controls will take you to the Options sub-menu.

Note:For Energi vehicles there are two

versions of the battery gauge. When the vehicle is in Hybrid Mode the information is shown with a simple battery graphic. When in Plug-in Power Mode an enhanced battery graphic is provided and available electric range is added to the display.

The high voltage battery gauge appears on the right side of the information display screen. This provides Charge Fill (State of Charge), Charge Assist and Regen Display. • Charge Fill (Hybrid Mode) - 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, but the hybrid system will attempt to control the level to approximately the middle of the gauge under most driving conditions.

• Charge Fill (Energi Plug-in Power Mode) - The fill level indicates the amount of energy stored in the high voltage battery which is available for Plug-in Power Mode. A full fill represents the total amount of energy you can get from an external charge (plugging your vehicle in). When the fill reaches empty your vehicle will automatically enter Hybrid Mode.

Note:The Charge Fill is always shown for

Plug-in Power Mode, even if Charge Fill is not selected under Battery Display in the Options sub-menu.

• Electric Range (Energi Plug-in Power Mode) - The electric range estimate is personalized to the driver's key. The estimate is based on the amount of energy presently available in the high voltage battery and your typical energy usage while driving. This includes your drive habits as well as your use of accessories such as Climate Control. The battery energy refers to the energy gained from charging the battery while plugged in.

• 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.

• Regen Display - A circular arrow symbol appears in the center of the Battery Gauge when energy is being recaptured through the regenerative braking system.

Fuel Gauge:

The fuel gauge will indicate approximately how much fuel is left in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge may vary slightly when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient. The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol indicates on which side of the vehicle the fuel filler door is located.

Brake Coach Display:

The Brake Coach appears after the vehicle has come to a stop. It coaches you to brake in a manner which maximizes the amount of energy returned through the

regenerative braking system. The percent displayed is an indication of the

regenerative braking efficiency with 100% representing the maximum amount of energy recovery.

Trip Summary:

Trip Summary is displayed upon shutting off your vehicle. The data is calculated over the last on and off cycle.

• Distance - The total distance traveled, distance traveled on battery power only (EV distance) and Regen distance are displayed. Regen distance is the estimated range gained from energy recaptured through regenerative braking.

• Energy Use - The average fuel economy and total fuel used are displayed. In addition for Energi, the total electrical energy used while in Plug-in Power Mode is displayed in kilowatt hours (kWh).

• Brake Score - The average percentage of braking energy recaptured and returned to the high voltage battery through regenerative braking.
