Energy Information

To view the Energy Usage, Energy
Efficiency, and Efficiency Tips, press
the button on the center stack
and then press the Energy Info
button at the top of the touch
screen.
Energy Usage
The Energy Usage screen displays
information for the total of all the
drive cycles since the last time the
high voltage battery was fully
charged. This includes distance
traveled in Electric Mode, distance
traveled in Extended Range Mode,
total distance traveled, total fuel
used, and average fuel economy.
There are maximum limits to some
of the values that can be displayed.
When these values are replaced
with dashes, the value limits have
been reached. To reset these
values, the high voltage battery will
need to be fully recharged. The
circle graph also represents
the percentage of distance traveled
using Electric Mode versus
Extended Range Mode. The
Lifetime Fuel Economy is a total
over the life of the vehicle and can
only be reset by the dealer.
The Energy Usage information will
also appear automatically on power
off when Retained Accessory Power
is active. This automatic pop-up can
be disabled through the vehicle
Instruments and Controls
personalization. See Energy
Summary Exit Pop-up under
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5 48.
Energy Efficiency
The Energy Efficiency screen is
accessed by pressing Energy
Efficiency on the Energy Usage
screen. This screen displays the
energy efficiency over the drive
cycle based on driving style and
climate settings. Driving in a more
efficient manner will result in a
higher percentage displayed for
driving style. Minimizing the use of
the climate control system will result
in a higher percentage displayed for
climate setting.
