• Vehicle Range — Indicates the estimated distance the vehicle will travel
with the energy currently available. For Hybrid, the vehicle range estimate
is based on the fuel remaining in the gasoline tank. For Energi, the total
estimated range equals the range available in Hybrid Mode fueled by gasoline,
plus the electric range available in Plug-in Power Mode. Changes in driving
pattern may cause the values to vary.
• Inform — Inform shows the fuel level, battery display and average fuel
economy, with options available for the Battery Display and an Instantaneous
Fuel Economy gauge. When the vehicle is operating on battery power only
with the engine off, EV is displayed.
• Enlighten — Enlighten displays power demand in addition to the typical
information and options from Inform. The Instantaneous Fuel Economy
gauge will be displayed by default. When the vehicle is operating on battery
power only with the engine off, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown
in blue. When both the engine and high voltage battery are providing power
the gauge fill is white.
• Engage — Engage replaces the power demand gauge from Enlighten with
separate gauges for engine power and high voltage battery power. The
engine power gauge fill is white and the high voltage battery power gauge
fill is blue. When the vehicle is operating on battery power only with the
engine off, EV is displayed.
• Empower — Empower adds an engine on/off threshold to the power demand
gauge from Enlighten. The threshold is shown as a blue double outline. The
gauge is designed to show you how close you are to the gasoline engine
on/off threshold and how much power you are requesting based on how far
you press the accelerator pedal.
When power demand is below the threshold the vehicle is operating on battery
power only with the engine off, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in
blue.
When power demand exceeds the threshold both the engine and the high
voltage battery provide power and the gauge fill is white.
When power demand surpasses the amber indicator, this level of demand and
associated fuel economy are shown in amber.
Note: You can reset your average fuel economy by pressing and holding the OK
button on the left hand steering wheel controls.
