Battery Gauge (High Voltage)
Enhanced Battery Gauge Shown
This displays the high voltage battery state of charge and the vehicle range prediction.
The value in the center is an estimate of how far the vehicle can be driven on the remaining charge based on driving habits and conditions learned.
The range estimate and Max and Min numbers may be affected by climate settings, current vehicle conditions, and ambient conditions. Estimated range may increase and decrease based on climate control energy consumption.
A trend bar on the far left estimates how recent driving habits, conditions, and climate settings are affecting the range prediction.
When the high voltage battery state of charge is very low, the estimated range value in the center will change to Low. Max and Min ranges will no longer be displayed.
Additional alerts may display and a sound may also be heard at low state of charge.
Driver Efficiency Gauge
The power indicator gauge is on the right side of the display in the Enhanced layout.
This gauge displays the instantaneous charge and discharge power flowing either into or out of the high voltage battery.
Maximum discharge power is available when the high voltage battery is fully charged.
During normal operation, a slight reduction in discharge power may occur as the high voltage battery state of charge decreases.
The power indicator gauge value shows the instantaneous power used by the battery.
Regenerative Braking
When regenerative braking is active, the regen battery icon with arrows appears green. The power indicator gauge value shows the amount of instantaneous power being regenerated.
Regenerative Power Limited
Regenerative power may be limited when the high voltage battery is near full charge or cold. The regen battery icon will appear
gray when limited, and a horizontal bar may display on the gauge, at the level of the vehicle’s maximum regenerative braking power.
