Eff (efficiency gauge):
The efficiency gauge indicates short term
driving efficiency, measured over the last few minutes. Higher efficiency
is indicated by an increase in the level indication.
•
This display can be impacted by your use of brakes, accelerator and
accessories as well as environmental conditions such as terrain and
weather.
•
The efficiency display does not reset with the ’Reset’ economy button.
Engine on:
This gauge provides you with the reason why the engine is
running. When the gasoline engine is on, the buttons will show the
reason why. When the gasoline engine is off, ’EV’ will appear in the
display. When the gasoline engine is on, one or two of the following
reasons will appear. For a more complete description of the reason,
simply press the desired button on the touchscreen.
•
Engine cold: The engine is on to warm-up. The vehicle will return to
electric mode when the engine is warm. This reason may re-appear
during a drive or after shutting the vehicle down for a short period.
This is normal operation.
•
Heater setting: The engine is on because of the heater setting. Reduce
or turn off the heater setting to return to electric mode.
•
High speed: The engine is on because the vehicle speed exceeds the
level for electric mode operation. Reduce the speed to return to
electric mode.
•
Acceleration: The engine is on because of pressure applied to the
accelerator pedal. Reduce the pressure on the accelerator pedal to
return to full electric mode.
•
Neutral Gear: The engine is on because the vehicle is in neutral gear.
Shift out of neutral gear to return to electric mode.
•
Low Gear: The engine is on because the vehicle is in low gear. Shift
out of low gear to return to electric mode.
•
Batt charging (battery charging): The engine is on to charge the
hybrid battery. The vehicle will return to electric mode once the
battery is charged.
•
Normal operation: The engine is on to optimize vehicle operation. The
vehicle will return to electric mode when possible.
