Information Displays • Coolant Temp - Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normal operating temperature, the level indicator will be white and will be in the normal range (between H and C). If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the normal range, the level indicator will change to red to indicate that the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, turn off the vehicle and let the engine cool. The thermometer indicator next to the gauge will illuminate in blue or white to indicate the following: • Blue thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is not warm enough to allow EV operation. The gasoline engine will typically run continuously when the indicator is blue. Note: During silent key start mode, the thermometer indicator will be blue, but the gasoline engine will not run. This is the result of the vehicle computer allowing the engine to be cooler during the silent key start period. This is normal operation and does not indicate a problem with your vehicle. After the first engine start the indicator will turn white when the gasoline engine is warm enough to turn off. • White thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is warm enough to allow EV operation. If the vehicle operates on battery power long enough, it is possible that the gasoline engine may need to run to keep the system warm. In this case, the thermometer indicator will revert back to blue. Tach rpm x 1000 - When the gasoline engine is running, the tachometer gauge displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). When the vehicle is operating on battery power only with the engine off, EV is displayed and the tachometer is greyed out. • Note: The trip data, and average fuel economy cannot be reset in MyView. Energy Use (Energi only) - Energy Use provides an energy use gauge and a climate power gauge in addition to fuel level and battery display. When you select EV Now operation this screen will automatically be shown. You can press OK to enable the engine when viewing this screen during EV Now operation. See Hybrid Electric Vehicle (page 142). • Consumption Gauge: Your current present energy use per distance traveled is represented by the white line that moves up and down in the gauge. A higher line means you are using more energy (lower is better). Your energy use includes input from the accelerator pedal as well as the accessories, such as Climate Control. When operating in EV Now a blue cup shape is shown around the gauge. This represents the maximum energy usage you can maintain in order to achieve the estimated electric range shown on the battery gauge. Keep your current energy use mostly within the cup while driving and you should achieve your electric range estimate. • Climate Power Gauge: Indicates high voltage electrical power demand from you vehicle's high voltage climate control components such as the electric A/C compressor and the electric heater. These components use power but do not contribute to propelling the vehicle. The gauge displays power demand in kilowatts (kW). 92
