Digital E-Power Meter
To stay in electric mode, keep an eye on the digital E-Power meter in your
multifunction display.
As you accelerate under electric power, you will see the horizontal gauge move
closer to the E-Max setting.
When the gauge reaches E-Max, the electric motor is operating at full power.
The gas engine will then activate to provide more power.
To help increase fuel efficiency*, keep the gauge under E-Max to stay in
electric mode.
*See back cover for mpg information.

Analog Power Meter
The analog power meter needle on the left gauge
in the instrument cluster indicates your vehicle’s
power status.
As you drive, the needle will point to different areas
of the color-coded dial.
Numbers on the power meter show the percentage
of the vehicle’s power currently in use.
The green area
(while coasting or braking) — the
battery is charging. Note that the vehicle does not
charge at OFF or while completely stopped.
The blue area
(economic driving) — the vehicle is using
either the electric motor or the gas engine, depending on
the battery’s charge level.
The white area
(acceleration or driving at high
speeds**) — the vehicle is powered by the gas engine.
The BOOST area
(hard acceleration) — the vehicle is
using both the electric motor and gas engine.
**Always obey speed and traffic laws.
Important Safety Instructions and Warnings,
which you must read, are listed on the last panel under HYBRID INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.
