Instruments and Controls The number in the ball next to the indicator displays a current estimate of how far the vehicle can be driven. Use this range estimation for planning your trip. MAX is the current maximum range, and MIN is the current minimum possible range based on recent driving habits. Changing your driving habits can increase or decrease the range. Use this gauge to see the effects of recent driving on your energy usage. This gauge is a guide to driving in an efficient manner by keeping the ball green and in the center of the gauge. The leaves stop spinning when the vehicle stops or when the ball travels away from the center of the gauge. See Driving for Better Energy Efficiency on page 1-22. ACCEL: If the ball turns yellow and travels above the center of the gauge, acceleration is too aggressive to optimize efficiency. Driving fast also uses more energy than driving slow. BRAKE: If the ball turns yellow and travels below the center of the gauge, braking is too aggressive to optimize efficiency. 5-11 Power Indicator Gauge Driver Efficiency Gauge The power gauge shows the vehicle's instantaneous power consumption. It also shows the regenerative power going back into the battery. Safety Belt Reminders Driver Safety Belt Reminder Light There is a driver safety belt reminder light on the instrument cluster.
