The number in the ball next to the
indicator displays a current estimate
of how far the vehicle can be driven.
Use this range estimation for
planning your trip. MAX is the
current maximum range, and MIN is
the current minimum possible range
based on recent driving habits.
Changing your driving habits can
increase or decrease the range.
Use this gauge to see the effects of
recent driving on your energy
usage.
Driver Efficiency Gauge
This gauge is a guide to driving in
an efficient manner by keeping the
ball green and in the center of the
gauge. The leaves stop spinning
when the vehicle stops or when the
ball travels away from the center of
the gauge.
See
Driving for Better Energy
Efficiency on page 1-23
.
ACCEL:
If the ball turns yellow and
travels above the center of the
gauge, acceleration is too
aggressive to optimize efficiency.
Driving fast also uses more energy
than driving slow.
BRAKE:
If the ball turns yellow and
travels below the center of the
gauge, braking is too aggressive to
optimize efficiency.
Power Indicator Gauge
The power gauge shows the
vehicle
’
s instantaneous power
consumption. It also shows the
regenerative power going back into
the battery.
