Vehicle power gauge (empower
instrument cluster only):
When
the transmission is in a drive gear
only, this gauge shows you vehicle
power demand and gasoline engine
on/off threshold. It is designed to
show you how close you are to the
gasoline engine on/off threshold and
how much power you are requesting
by how much you press on the
accelerator pedal.
The red level indicator shows vehicle power demand. The more you
press on the accelerator pedal, the more power you demand of the
vehicle. The green box shows the gasoline engine on/off threshold. If
vehicle power demand is reduced, the gasoline engine will turn off when
the red level indicator moves below the green box. In this case, the
hybrid system is operating in electric vehicle mode and
⬙
EV
⬙
is displayed
at the bottom of the gauge. When the red level indicator exceeds the
threshold, the system commands the gasoline engine on (and the
⬙
EV
⬙
disappears).
When the gasoline engine is on for reasons outside of your control (such
as warming up the system or charging a low battery), the gasoline engine
on/off threshold (green box) disappears. When the on/off threshold box
is not displayed, the gasoline engine will not turn off regardless of how
little power you demand (even lifting your foot off of the accelerator).
Odometer:
