indicating vehicle power. You may also see

a blue rectangular box which shows the

power level at which the engine will turn

on.

•

When your power level is within the box

the color of the bar will be blue. This

means you are in Electric operation and

the engine is off.

When your power level is outside of the

box the color of the bar will be white.

This means you are in Hybrid operation

with a combination of the electric

motor and the engine providing vehicle

power.

Distance per full charge is also shown. This

is an estimate of the electric range you

would have if you plugged in and fully

charged your vehicle right now. The higher

your electric efficiency, the higher your

distance per full charge.

Your electric efficiency is affected by your

driving style and route, climate control use,

outside temperature and other factors.

Best efficiency is achieved in mild ambient

temperatures with mild to moderate

acceleration and braking, moderate speeds

and low climate control usage.

When you are decelerating with either your

foot off the accelerator pedal or on the

brake pedal you will see a green or white

solid bar indicating the power being used

to slow down the vehicle. You may also

the amount of power that can be

recaptured by the regenerative braking

system and returned to the high voltage

battery.
