Various systems on your vehicle can be controlled using the information display controls on the steering wheel. Corresponding information is displayed in the information display.

From the main menu bar on the left side of the information display, you can choose from the following categories:

Scroll up or down to highlight one of the categories, and then press the right arrow key or OK to enter into that category. Press the left arrow key as needed to exit back to the main menu.

Engage provides separate gauges for engine power and high voltage battery power in kilowatts (kW). The engine power gauge fill is white and the high voltage battery power gauge fill is blue. You can also see an instantaneous fuel economy gauge. When your vehicle is operating on battery power only, you will see EV displayed and the gauges will appear in blue.

Empower provides a power demand gauge in kilowatts (kW) which includes an engine on or off threshold.

You can also see an instantaneous fuel economy gauge.

You can choose what to display in this view. Selecting Change MyView in the options menu allows you to scroll through two columns of content choices.

In Hybrid Mode the display changes to Fuel Economy. Miles or Kilometers per Full Charge is an estimate of your EV Range with a fully charged battery.

This display is only available in Plug-in Power Mode.

Average Miles or Kilometers per Full Charge is provided along with an Instantaneous gauge. This information is based on your energy usage while driving. Energy usage is affected by your driving style and route, climate control use, outside temperature and other factors. For more information refer to Next Full Charge.   See   Gauges. 

When you select EV Now operation this screen will automatically be shown. You can press OK to enable the engine when viewing this screen during EV Now operation.   See   Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle Operation. 

This display is only available in Hybrid Mode. In Plug-in Power Mode the display changes to Miles (or km)/Full Charge.

An Instant Fuel Economy gauge is provided along with Avg Fuel Economy. While viewing this screen you can reset your average fuel economy by pressing and holding the OK button on the left hand steering wheel controls. For more information see Common Displays in this chapter.

Provides trip odometer, trip average fuel economy and trip timer.

Distance traveled on battery power only with the engine off is shown in blue next to total trip distance.

For Energi vehicles total plug-in electricity used in kilowatt hours (kWh) is shown in blue next to trip average fuel economy.

From the main menu bar on the right side of the information display, you can choose from the following categories:

See your SYNC information.

Use the up or down arrow buttons to choose between the following display options.

Efficiency leaves indicate short term driving efficiency measured over the last few minutes. The more leaves and vines that appear on the display, the better your fuel economy. Leaves and vines will occasionally appear and disappear to indicate a change in your driving efficiency.

From left to right this view includes an instantaneous fuel economy gauge, historical fuel economy data and average fuel economy. The historical data represents an average over time intervals of either 1, 2 or 6 minutes, with the leftmost interval being the most recent. Shown at the bottom of the view is the total time duration for the 5 intervals. You can select total duration in the options menu. Intervals shown in grey color are from the previous drive. The blue horizontal line represents the average fuel economy value shown to the right.

This view provides a comparison of your recent acceleration, braking and cruising behavior, then recommends the most efficient use of energy under present conditions. The horizontal bars fill from left to right with best behavior and appear blue when at least half full. When the bars are less than half full, the color is amber, suggesting that you need a change in your driving behavior to achieve better energy efficiency.

Both Average fuel economy and an instantaneous fuel economy gauge are included in Engage, Empower, MyView (if selected) and Fuel Economy (shown in Hybrid Mode) on the left information display. They are also included in Fuel History on the right information display.

Average Fuel Economy is continuously averaged since the last reset. You can reset your average fuel economy by pressing and holding the OK button on the corresponding steering wheel controls. For Energi vehicles both Hybrid and Plug-in Power mode operation will be included in the calculation.

If your instantaneous fuel economy is greater than the maximum value displayed, a + sign will be shown next to the maximum scale number. When your vehicle is operating on battery power only, EV will display and the gauge fill will show in blue.
