Battery Gauge (State of Charge) 

The BATTERY Gauge will be labeled 
with either “BATTERY” or  
“CHARGE LEVEL.” 

 

 

 

 

Location:  
Position 2 on Cluster 
Purpose:  
This gauge provides the propulsion 
battery pack’s state of charge. When the 
needle reaches the red region, the truck 
range is low, and it will enter limited 
performance mode soon.

 

Aux Loss Gauge 

 

Location:  
Position 3 on Cluster 
Purpose:  
This gauge shows the power consumed 
by auxiliary components. Auxiliary 

component power consumption is 
considered any power that is not 
consumed by the propulsion motor. 
When the needle is within the green 
region (11 o-clock to 12), the truck’s 
range should not be significantly 
impacted by power loss. If the gauge 
value is above the green region, the 
driver may need to consider turning off 
or reducing power consuming units such 
as the HVAC. 

 

Virtual Gauges 

All virtual gauges except the Virtual 
Tachometer have been disabled. The 
Virtual Tachometer does NOT indicate 
the propulsion motor speed. 

Trip Information Menu 

Since this is a battery electric truck, the 
Trip Information menu will not include 
fuel economy information. 

Truck Information Menu 

The Truck Information Menu has been 
disabled without an option to enable it.
