Enlighten, Engage and Empower instrument cluster levels only: The
up and down arrows provide information about the energy (both stored
and used) associated with the high voltage battery. The up arrow
indicates battery charging, such as when extra energy is stored in the
battery when coasting or braking. The down arrow indicates battery
discharging such as when the battery provides extra power to boost the
vehicle’s acceleration.
Engage and Empower instrument cluster levels only: A circular
symbol appears in the center of the gauge when energy is being
recaptured through the regenerative braking system. This indicates that
your hybrid vehicle is capturing and using energy that would have been
lost in a conventional vehicle. The regenerative braking system can be
activated by braking or coasting (i.e. even when you’re not pressing the
brake pedal).
Note: The up/down arrows include energy being used by accessories
(i.e. air conditioning, headlights, radio, etc.).
Fuel gauge: With the ignition on,
this gauge indicates approximately
how much fuel is left in the fuel
tank. The fuel gauge may vary
slightly when the vehicle is in
motion or on a grade. When fuel
level becomes low (50 miles [80 km]
to empty), the level indicator will
change to bright yellow. When fuel
level becomes critically low (0 miles
[0 km] to empty), the level indicator
will change to red.
The fuel icon with the arrow points to the side of the vehicle that the
fuel filler door is on.
Refer to Filling the tank in the Maintenance and Specifications
chapter for more information.
