•
Reduction in vehicle power to
below the wide band will result in
the engine turning off. In this
case, the hybrid’s system is
operating in electric mode and
“EV” is displayed under the
gauge.
•
If the power demand is smaller than what is required to turn the
engine on, it will be indicated with the narrow band below the wide
band. Increase in vehicle power to above the wide band will result in
the engine turning on and the “EV” will disappear.
•
When the gasoline engine is on for reasons outside of your control
(such as warming up the system or charging a low battery), the
gasoline engine on/off threshold indicator (wide band) disappears.
When the wide band is not displayed, the gasoline engine will not turn
off regardless of how little power you demand (even lifting your foot
off the accelerator).
Accessory (A/C power gauge):
The accessory gauge indicates
electrical power demand from your vehicle’s air conditioning system. Air
conditioning uses power but does not contribute to propelling the
vehicle. The higher the level indication on this gauge, the more air
conditioning power is being used. You can see the level of this gauge
change by turning air conditioning on and off or changing the climate
control set point.
•
Some air conditioning power may be used when in the AUTO
(Automatic) climate control mode. See the Climate control chapter of
your Owner’s Manual for more information.
•
In colder ambient temperatures when the air conditioning is used less
frequently, the A/C power will often display at zero.
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
