Efficiency
Driving Style
Your driving style plays a large role in the efficiency of the vehicle. Avoid rapid acceleration
or deceleration to help maximize energy efficiency and range. Electric range is maximized
at 50 mph and below; higher speeds use more energy and significantly reduce electric
range.
Efficiency Gauge
Use the 5-way control to select an instru-
ment cluster theme that displays the
green ring or leaf indicator.
While driving, try to keep the ring green
or the leaf in the center of the gauge. The
ring will turn yellow or the leaf will move
up or down during inefficient acceleration
or aggressive braking, depending on the
cluster theme.
Driver-Selected Operating Modes
Press the MODE button on the center console to scroll through a menu of operating
modes for when more performance is needed. After 3 seconds, the highlighted mode
will become active.
Normal (Default)
Use in normal driving conditions for
efficient operation; is active each time the
vehicle is started.
Sport
Use for a sportier driving experience;
increases throttle response.
Mountain
Use when planning to drive in mountainous terrain (long grades of 5% or higher);
reserves battery power to maintain higher speeds on steep grades.
Hold
Use to preserve electric range for later use. Range-extending operation will engage.
Regen on Demand™
Regen on Demand temporarily regenerates energy from the vehicle's momentum and
stores it in the high voltage propulsion battery for later use.
To activate Regen on Demand, pull and hold the left paddle on the back of the steering
wheel without pressing the brake pedal or accelerator pedal.
While pulling the paddle, the vehicle will begin to decelerate using regenerative braking.
Regen on Demand is deactivated once the paddle is released, or the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal is pressed.
