Driver Efficiency Gauge

This gauge is a guide to driving in
an efficient manner by keeping the
ball green and in the center of the
gauge. The leaves stop spinning
when the vehicle stops or when the
ball travels away from the center of
the gauge.
See Driving for Better Energy
Efficiency on page 9 2.
accel: If the ball turns yellow and
travels above the center of the
gauge, acceleration is too
aggressive to optimize efficiency.
brake: If the ball turns yellow and
travels below the center of the
gauge, braking is too aggressive to
optimize efficiency.

Total Vehicle Range

Total vehicle range is the remaining
distance the vehicle can be driven
combining the electric range and
fuel range.
See Driving for Better Energy
Efficiency on page 9 2.

Safety Belt Reminders

Driver Safety Belt Reminder
Light
There is a driver safety belt
reminder light on the instrument
panel cluster.
When the vehicle is started, this
light flashes and a chime may come
on to remind the driver to fasten
their safety belt. Then the light stays
on solid until the belt is buckled.
This cycle may continue several
times if the driver remains or
becomes unbuckled while the
vehicle is moving.
If the driver safety belt is already
buckled, neither the light nor the
chime comes on.
