Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster displays a preview of information that includes electric range, charging, odometer, and battery status. This happens upon entry when the driver’s door is opened, and following the welcome animation, before starting the vehicle.
The CHARGING OVERRIDE/ INTERRUPTION OCCURRED message may be displayed on the lower right of the screen to indicate that a charging override or interruption has occurred due to one or more of the following events:
- Override of the charge settings by the owner using OnStar.
- Unintended interruption of AC power at the vehicle’s charge port.
- Interruption of charging by the utility company using OnStar as authorized by the vehicle owner.
Several screens will display depending on the current
charging status.

Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle’s speed in either kilometres per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph).
Odometer
The odometer shows how far the vehicle has been driven, in either kilometres or miles.
This vehicle has a tamper-resistant odometer. If the vehicle needs a new cluster installed, the new odometer is set to the mileage of the old odometer. If this is not possible, it is set at zero and a label is put on the driver’s door to show the old mileage reading.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can show how far the vehicle has been driven since the trip odometer was the last reset.
The trip odometer is accessed and reset through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
Battery Gauge (High Voltage)
This gauge shows the high voltage battery charge level.
The arrow next to the battery symbol points to the side of the vehicle the charge port is on.
Fuel Gauge
When the ignition is on, the fuel gauge indicates how much fuel is left in the tank.
There is an arrow near the fuel gauge pointing to the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on.
When the indicator is empty, the low fuel light comes on. There still is a little fuel left, but the vehicle should be refuelled soon.
Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these show a problem with the fuel gauge:
- At the service station, the fuel pump shuts off before the gauge reads full.
- It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up the gauge indicated. For example, the gauge may have indicated that the tank was half full, but it took a little more or less than half the tank’s capacity to fill the tank.
- The gauge takes a few seconds to stabilize after the ignition is turned on, and goes back to empty when the ignition is turned off.
Driver Efficiency Gauge
This gauge appears on the left side of the display in the Classic Enhanced configuration.
This gauge is a guide to driving efficiently by keeping the marker green and in the centre of the gauge.
accel: If the leaf turns yellow and travels above the centre of the gauge, acceleration is too aggressive to optimize efficiency.
brake: If the leaf turns yellow and travels below the centre of the gauge, braking is too aggressive to optimize efficiency.
In Modern display configurations, the light ring in the centre of the display acts as an efficiency gauge. It is green when driving efficiently and turns yellow when acceleration or braking is too aggressive.
Power Indicator Gauge
Battery Power
Total Power
The power gauge is on the right side of the display in the Classic Enhanced configuration on both the right and left sides in the Modern Enhanced configuration.
The power gauge shows the power coming from the engine and/or battery. When the power indicator is green, battery power is being regenerated. When the indicator is yellow, the vehicle is using power.
