• Regen Display - A circular arrow symbol appears in the center of the

Battery Gauge when energy is being recaptured through the
regenerative braking system.

Brake Coach Display: The Brake Coach appears after the vehicle has
come to a stop. It coaches you to brake in a manner which maximizes
the amount of energy returned through the regenerative braking system.
By maximizing the use of regenerative braking, you minimize the energy
used up by the hydraulic brakes.

Note: Under certain conditions the actual amount of energy returned to
the high voltage battery will be less than the percentage shown.

Trip Summary and Lifetime Summary: These will be displayed upon
shutting off the vehicle. Trip Summary will appear first, then Lifetime
Summary will be displayed. You can toggle between these displays using
the up and down arrow keys on the left hand steering wheel controls.

Trip Summary data is from the last power cycle, while Lifetime Summary
data is cumulative from the last Lifetime Summary reset done through
the Settings menu in the message center.

Trip Summary:
• Distance - The total distance travelled, and regen distance are

displayed. Regen distance is the estimated range gained from energy
recaptured through regenerative braking.

• Energy Used - The total kilowatt hours and average watt hours per

unit of distance are displayed. The average watt hours per mi (km)
will be shown in blue if less than (better than) the lifetime average
watt hours per mi (km).

• Brake Score - The percentage of braking energy recaptured and

returned to the high voltage battery through regenerative braking. The
brake score will be shown in blue if greater than (better than) the
lifetime brake score.

Lifetime Summary:
• Distance - The total regen distance, which is the estimated range

gained from energy recaptured through regenerative braking.

• Energy Used - The total kilowatt hours.
• Brake Score - The average percentage of braking energy recaptured

and returned to the high voltage battery through regenerative braking.
