Common Displays

Note: Battery gauge information can be individually selected on or off
through Battery Display in the Options sub-menu. From any main display
a right arrow press on the steering wheel controls will take you to the
Options sub-menu.
Note: For Energi vehicles there are two versions of the battery gauge.
When the vehicle is in Hybrid Mode the information is shown with a simple
battery graphic. When in Plug-in Power Mode an enhanced battery graphic
is provided and available electric range is added to the display. .
Battery Gauge: The high voltage battery gauge appears on the right
side of the information display screen. This provides Charge Fill (State of
Charge), Charge Assist and Regen Display.
• Charge Fill - The fill level, or State of Charge indicates the amount of
energy stored in the high voltage battery as a percent of total energy
capacity. The level will increase or decrease as the battery charges
and discharges during normal operation, but the hybrid system will
attempt to control the level to approximately the middle of the gauge
under most driving conditions.
• Charge Fill (Energi Plug-in Power Mode) - The fill level indicates the
amount of energy stored in the high voltage battery which is available
for Plug-in Power Mode. A full fill represents the total amount of
energy you can get from an external charge (plugging your vehicle in).
When the fill reaches empty your vehicle will automatically enter
Hybrid Mode
• Electric Range (Energi Plug-in Power Mode) - The electric range
estimate is based on the amount of battery energy currently available
in the high voltage battery and your typical energy usage while
driving. This includes your drive habits as well as your use of
accessories such as Climate Control. The battery energy refers
to the energy gained from charging the battery while plugged in.
• Charge Assist - The up and down arrows provide information about the
energy going into and out of the high voltage battery. The up arrow
above the battery indicates battery charging such as from regenerative
braking. The down arrow below the battery indicates battery discharging
to provide power for propulsion or vehicle accessories
Note: The Charge Fill is always shown for Plug-in Power Mode, even if
Charge Fill is not selected under Battery Display in the Options sub-menu.
• Regen Display - A circular arrow symbol appears in the center of
the Battery Gauge when energy is being recaptured through the
regenerative braking system.
