INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OVERVIEW
- A Power gauge.
- B Vehicle range display.
- C High voltage battery gauge.
- D High voltage battery temperature gauge.
- E Electric motor temperature gauge.
- F Speedometer.
- G Odometer.
- H Compass.
- I Information bar.

POWER GAUGE
- The power gauge displays the amount of power going to the wheels when accelerating or maintaining speed.
- The inner thin blue line represents the percentage of maximum power available.
- When the system limits the available maximum power the blue line moves down and the available power is shown as less than 100%.
- A corresponding message could be displayed when available power is reduced.
- When slowing down by lifting your foot off the accelerator pedal or pressing the brake, the power gauge displays the amount of power the regenerative braking system captures and returns to the high-voltage battery.
SPEEDOMETER
- Indicates the vehicle speed.
VEHICLE RANGE DISPLAY
Displays the approximate range your vehicle can travel on the battery’s current state of charge. Estimates vary based on the energy used when driving and the energy available in the high-voltage battery. The amount of energy being used when driving is affected by:
- Mild or aggressive acceleration or braking.
- Your vehicle’s speed.
- Use of accessories, such as climate control.
- Ambient temperature and weather conditions.
- Driving in a city or on a highway.
- Driving on flat or hilly roads.
- Towing.
The available energy capacity in the high-voltage battery is affected by cold temperatures and battery degradation. See Preserving Your High Voltage Battery. When your navigation system has an active route the distance to your destination or next charging station is displayed.
Note: It is normal for the vehicle range estimates to vary due to changes in average energy usage and battery temperature. This could cause different range estimates each time you fully charge your battery. See Maximizing Your Driving Range.
Note: When you leave your vehicle unplugged, it periodically uses energy from the high-voltage battery to recharge the 12-volt accessory battery, resulting in a reduced driving range.
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY GAUGE
- Displays the high voltage battery state of charge.
- A full, or 100%, charge represents the total amount of energy you can get from plugging your vehicle in.
- When a low battery condition is reached the gauge is amber.
- When the battery is depleted the gauge is red.
- When your navigation system has an active route, a symbol is added to indicate the battery charge level needed to reach your destination or the next charging station.
Charging Status
- When you open the door an expanded high-voltage battery gauge displays.
- When plugged in, additional charging information displays such as the charging start or end time and the state of charge limit at which charging stops.
- You can modify your vehicle charge settings on the centre display screen.
- See Setting the Charging Schedule and Preferences.
- When your navigation system has an active route, the charge level required to reach your destination or the next charging station displays.
- When plugged in, the time when that charge level will be available also displays.
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY TEMPERATURE GAUGE
- Displays the high voltage battery temperature.
- When the battery temperature is outside the normal range, vehicle performance could be reduced and a corresponding message could be displayed.
- When the temperature is too cold, continue driving to warm the system and improve performance.
- When the temperature is too hot, performance could be reduced to cool the system.
ELECTRIC MOTOR TEMPERATURE GAUGE
- Displays electric motor temperature.
- When the battery temperature is outside the normal range, vehicle performance could be reduced and a corresponding message could be displayed.
- When the temperature is too cold, continue driving to warm the system and improve performance.
- When the temperature is too hot, performance could be reduced to cool the system.
