FUEL ECONOMY DISPLAY -
PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE (PHEV)
An instant fuel economy gauge is provided
along with average fuel economy. Average
fuel economy is continuously averaged
since the last reset.
Both the electric only and hybrid operation
are included in the calculation. More
electric only driving results in a greater
average fuel economy.
When the gasoline engine is off, the instant
fuel economy gauges are replaced with an
electric driving message.
Note: Press and hold the OK button on the
controls on the steering wheel to reset your
average fuel economy.

indicating vehicle power. You may also see
a blue rectangular box which shows the
power level at which the engine turns on.

When the power level is within the box,
the color of the bar is blue. This means
you are in electric operation and the
engine is off.
When the power level is outside of the
box, the color of the bar is white. This
means you are in hybrid operation with
a combination of the electric motor
and the engine providing vehicle power.
When you are decelerating with either your
foot off the accelerator pedal or on the
brake pedal, a green or white solid bar
displays indicating the power being used
to slow down your vehicle. You may also
see a green rectangular box which shows
the amount of power that can be
recaptured by the regenerative braking
system and returned to the high voltage
battery.
When the power level is within the box,
the color of the bar will be all green.
This means that the regenerative
braking system is being used to
efficiently slow your vehicle down and
return the maximum percentage of
energy to the high voltage battery.
When the power level is outside of the
box, then the bar is white. This means
both the regenerative braking system
and conventional braking system are
being used.
