Instrument Cluster Right Information Display 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. 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. 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. • • 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. 80
