Power Flow Display

The Power Flow display, located 

on the instrument panel’s Driver 

Information Center or on the audio 

system color display (if equipped), 

 indicates the  energy flow direction, 

the high-voltage battery charge 

level, and the current eAssist oper-

ating mode. These modes include:

•  Engine Idle – The vehicle is 

stopped and the engine is 

 running.

•  Auto Stop – The vehicle is stopped, the engine has been automatically turned off and is 

ready to automatically restart when needed.

•  Engine Power – The engine is providing the primary drive power for the vehicle.

•  Hybrid Power – The eAssist electric motor is providing significant electrical assist to 

the engine.

•  Battery Charging – The eAssist electric motor is charging the high-voltage battery while 

the vehicle is slowing down.

See Instruments and Controls in your Owner Manual. 

Driver Efficiency Gauge

The efficiency gauge assists you in driving efficiently. To maximize efficiency, attempt to 

keep the pointer in the solid green zone in the middle of the gauge. The gauge moves 

to the left when braking and to the right when accelerating. When either is done aggres-

sively, it is less efficient and the gauge will move farther away from the center. The eAssist 

 system’s ability to capture energy while the vehicle is slowing down makes decelerating 

very important for efficiency.

See Instruments and Controls in your Owner Manual. 

Climate Control Settings

•  Press the 

Air Conditioning button until the button indicator is green to select 

the eco air conditioning setting for maximum efficiency. This setting will maximize 

the  frequency and duration of Auto Stops while still providing cabin comfort when the 

 vehicle is in an Auto Stop.

•  Press the 

Air Conditioning button until the button indicator is blue to select the 

comfort air conditioning setting for maximum cabin comfort. Auto Stops will be reduced 

in both frequency and duration.

See Climate Controls in your Owner Manual.
