Driver Efficiency Gauge

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

Total Vehicle Range

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

Seat Belt Reminders

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