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 in the form of a gauge or a percentage. A full fill or 100% charge represents the total amount of energy you can get from plugging your vehicle in. The gauge is normally blue. When a low battery condition is reached the gauge is amber. When the battery is depleted the gauge is red. When the full battery gauge is displayed and your navigation system has an active route, a symbol is added that represents the battery charge level needed to reach your destination or next charging station.
Charging Status
Additional charge information displays when you power on your vehicle without pressing the brake pedal and your vehicle is plugged in. Charging status includes the charge start or charge end time as appropriate. When DC charging, the time at 80% displays followed by the time at 100%. You can modify your vehicle charge settings on the information and entertainment display. See Setting the Charging Schedule and Preferences.
Charge Required to Reach Destination
When the navigation system has an active route, the instrument cluster displays the charge level required in order to reach your destination and the time when that charge level is available.
