Empower
Empower adds an engine on/off threshold
to the power demand gauge from
Enlighten. The threshold is shown as a
blue double outline. The gauge is
designed to show you how close you are
to the gasoline engine on/off threshold
and how much power you are requesting
based on how far you press the
accelerator pedal.
When power demand is below the
threshold the vehicle is operating on
battery power only with the engine off, EV
is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in
blue.
When power demand exceeds the
threshold both the engine and the high
voltage battery provide power and the
gauge fill is white.
When power demand surpasses the amber
indicator, this level of demand and
associated fuel economy are shown in
amber.
Note: You can reset your average fuel
economy by pressing and holding the OK
button on the left hand steering wheel
controls.

Press the up or down arrow to view
content.
Use the right and left arrows to move
between the left column content and
the middle column content.
The right column is reserved for the
Battery Gauge and the Fuel Gauge.
Accessory Power— Indicates electrical
power demands from your vehicle's
accessory systems. Accessories use
power but do not contribute to
propelling the vehicle. The gauge
separately displays power demand in
kilowatts (kW) for climate and other
accessories.
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.
