vehicle has traveled.

Battery Gauge:

An optional small battery gauge is provided
for Hybrid vehicles. This can be enabled in
the Settings menu under Battery Display.
See General Information (page 110).  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 increases or decreases as the
battery charges and discharges during
normal operation.

Regen Display

A circular arrow symbol displays when
energy is being recaptured through the
regenerative braking system. Regen Display
can be disabled in the Settings menu.  See
General Information (page 110).

Fuel Gauge

The fuel gauge indicates about how much
fuel is in the fuel tank.

The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol
indicates on which side of your vehicle the
fuel filler door is located.

Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly when
your vehicle is moving or on a slope.

Low Fuel Reminder

A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the distance to empty reaches
75 mi (120 km) to empty for MyKey, and at
50 mi (80 km), 25 mi (40 km), 10 mi (20 km)
and 0 mi (0 km) for all vehicle keys.

Note: The low fuel reminder can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal.

Engage

Engage provides separate gauges for engine
power and high voltage battery power in
kilowatts (kW). The engine power gauge fill
is white and the high voltage battery power
gauge fill is blue. You can also see an
instantaneous fuel economy gauge. When
your vehicle is operating on battery power
only, you will see EV displayed and the
gauges will appear in blue.

Note: Hold OK to reset average fuel
economy.

Empower

Empower provides a power demand gauge
in kilowatts (kW) which includes an engine
on or off threshold.

•

When your vehicle is operating with
battery power only (below the threshold),
you will see EV displayed and the gauge
fill is blue.

•

When your vehicle is operating with both
the engine and the high voltage battery
providing power the gauge fill is white.

•

When power demand surpasses the
amber indicator, this level of demand and
associated fuel economy displays in
amber.

•

When the engine is on, reducing power
demand to less than the threshold will
allow the engine to turn off.

You can also see an instantaneous fuel
economy gauge.

Note: Hold OK to reset average fuel
economy.

Unique content available in MyView:
•

Accessory Power— Indicates electrical
power demands from your vehicle’s
accessory systems. Accessories use
power but do not contribute to propelling
your vehicle. The gauge separately
displays power demand in kilowatts (kW)
for climate and other accessories.
Climate includes the power being used
by high voltage climate control
components such as the electric A/C
compressor. Other includes all power
being used by the low voltage
accessories (cabin fans, headlights and
heated seats).

•

Coolant Temp – Indicates engine coolant
temperature. At normal operating
temperature, the level indicator will be
white and will be in the normal range
(between H and C). If the engine coolant
temperature exceeds the normal range,
the level indicator will change to red to
indicate that the engine is overheating.
Stop your vehicle as soon as safely
possible, turn your vehicle off and let the
engine cool.
