EV Now
E287826
This mode provides an electric
only driving experience. Do not
use EV Now when towing a
trailer. The electric drive system is not
designed for towing. An EV Now
information on demand screen appears.
This screen allows you to enable your
engine while in EV Now mode.
Your vehicle could accelerate slower and
the top speed could be lower than when
in Auto EV mode.
You can enable your engine at any time by
using one of the following methods:
• Press the OK button on the steering
wheel while viewing the EV Now
information on demand screen. Your
vehicle enables the engine as needed
and returns to EV Now mode when no
longer needed.
• Fully press the accelerator pedal. A pop
up message appears. Press the OK
button on the steering wheel to enable
the engine. Your vehicle returns to EV
Now mode when no longer needed.
The message disappears if you release
the accelerator pedal.
• Press the EV button. This exits EV Now
mode and permits engine operation.
To return to EV Now mode, you must
select it again using the EV button.
Your vehicle could enter Engine Enabled
mode if system conditions require it. A
message displays if this occurs. This is a
normal function of the system and your
vehicle returns to EV Now mode when
possible.
When you enable EV Now mode, a blue EV
Now icon appears in the information
display. If your vehicle is in Engine Enabled
mode, the EV Now icon is amber. EV Now
exits when your available electric range
reaches zero.
EV Later
E287824
In EV Later, your vehicle runs on
the engine as needed and saves
most of the available electric
range for later use in Auto EV or EV Now
mode.
For example, your initial drive is at high
speeds on open roads, but later your drive
is at low speeds in an urban area where
electric only driving is most efficient. In this
case, you can select EV Later for the higher
speed portion of your trip and then select
Auto EV or EV Now for the urban portion.
When you enable EV Later, a white EV
Later icon appears in the information
display. EV Later resets to Auto EV when
you switch off your vehicle. You may select
EV Later again using the EV button during
your next drive if you prefer.
When EV Later is selected with a full or
nearly full battery, the vehicle will first drain
some electric-only power. This is to allow
for full operation of the regenerative
braking system.
EV Charge
E287822
This mode uses your vehicle's
engine to charge the high voltage
battery instead of plugging the
vehicle into a utility grid. For example, you
have run out of electric-only driving range
and you would like to have electric range
available for later use prior to plugging in.
The electric range gained through EV
Charge allows you to switch to Auto EV or
EV Now for full electric operation later in
your drive. The battery cannot completely
charge to 100% when in EV Charge mode.
This is to allow for energy recapture
