- Tachometer.
Status Bar
Displays information related to the current audio source, compass direction, and outside air temperature.
Information On Demand
Displays selected on-demand information screens. See General Information
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates 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) 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.
Battery Gauge
The high-voltage battery gauge displays the total amount of charge associated with your available electric-only driving range. A full fill represents the total amount of energy you can get from an external charge (plugging your vehicle in). When the fill reaches empty the powertrain system automatically switches to hybrid operation.
Vehicle Driving Range
Vehicle range indicates the estimated distance your vehicle will travel with the energy currently onboard. Estimates will vary based on the energy used while driving. Changes in driving patterns can cause the values to not only decrease but also increase or stay constant for periods. The amount of energy being used while driving is affected by:
- Mild or aggressive acceleration or braking.
- Your vehicle speed.
- Use of accessories such as climate control.
- Ambient temperature and other weather conditions.
- Driving in a city or on a highway.
- Driving on hilly road conditions.
Note: It is normal for vehicle range estimates to vary due to changes in average energy usage. This is why you typically see different range estimates each time you fill up your fuel tank or fully charge your battery.
Gasoline Distance to Empty
Indicates the approximate distance your vehicle can travel on the fuel remaining in the tank.
Electric Range
Indicates the approximate distance your vehicle can travel on electric power only with the engine off.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
WARNING: Do not remove the coolant reservoir cap when the engine is on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10 minutes for the cooling system to cool down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap with a thick cloth to prevent the possibility of scalding and slowly remove the cap. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury.
