TACHOMETER - EXCLUDING: HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE (HEV)/PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV) (IF EQUIPPED)

Indicates the engine speed.

POWER GAUGE - HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE (HEV)/PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV), VEHICLES WITH: 6.5 INCH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY SCREEN (IF EQUIPPED)

The power gauge displays power to the wheels when accelerating or maintaining speed. When slowing down by lifting your foot off the accelerator pedal or pressing the brake, the gauge displays the power captured by the regenerative braking system and returned to the high voltage battery.

POWER GAUGE - HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE (HEV)/PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV), VEHICLES WITH: 12.3 INCH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY SCREEN

The power gauge displays power to the wheels when accelerating or maintaining speed. The high voltage battery power and engine power contributions are distinguished by color and added together to indicate total power to the wheels. When slowing down by lifting your foot off the accelerator pedal or pressing the brake, the gauge displays the power captured by the regenerative braking system and returned to the high voltage battery.

SPEEDOMETER

Indicates the vehicle speed.

WHAT IS THE FUEL GAUGE

Indicates approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank.

Fuel Gauge Limitations

The fuel gauge may not provide an accurate reading when your vehicle is on an incline.

Locating the Fuel Filler Door

The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol indicates on which side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is located.

What Is the Low Fuel Reminder

A low fuel level reminder displays and sounds when the distance to empty reaches 75 mi (120 km) to empty for MyKey, and at 50 mi (80 km), 25 mi (40 km), 12 mi (20 km) and 0 mi (0 km) for all vehicle keys.

Note:   The low fuel reminder can appear at different fuel gauge positions depending on fuel economy conditions. This variation is normal.

WHAT IS DISTANCE TO EMPTY - GASOLINE, HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE (HEV)

Indicates the approximate distance your vehicle can travel on the fuel remaining in the tank. Changes in driving pattern can cause the value to not only decrease but also increase or stay constant for periods of time.

VEHICLE RANGE DISPLAY - PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV)

Displays the approximate range your vehicle can travel with the energy currently onboard. Estimates vary based on the energy used when driving.

Changes in driving pattern can cause the values to not only decrease but also increase or stay constant for periods of time.

The amount of energy being used when driving is affected by such as:

• Mild or aggressive acceleration or braking.
• Your vehicle's speed.
• Use of accessories, such as climate control.
• Ambient temperature and weather conditions.
• Driving in a city or on a highway.
• Driving on hilly road conditions.
• Towing.

Note:   It is normal for vehicle range estimates to vary due to changes in average energy usage. This could cause different range estimates each time you fully charge your battery or fill your tank.

Note:   Electric range is lower in cold temperatures due to reduced energy capacity in the high voltage battery. Set a departure time and cabin temperature to maintain battery temperature for best range and performance.  See   Electric Vehicle Information. 
See  Setting the Charging Schedule and Preferences - Vehicles With: SYNC 4 . 

Gasoline Distance to Empty

Indicates the approximate distance your vehicle can travel on the fuel remaining in the tank.

Electric Range

Indicates the approximate distance your vehicle can travel on electric power only with the engine off.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge

Indicates the engine coolant temperature.

What Is the Information Bar

The information bar displays information related to the ambient air temperature, odometer, compass, indicators and warning lamps.

What Are the Instrument Cluster Warning Lamps

Warning lamps alert you to a vehicle condition that could become serious. Some lamps illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure they work.If any lamps remain on after starting your vehicle, refer to the respective system warning lamp for further information.

Instrument Cluster Warning Lamps

Anti-Lock Braking System

If it illuminates when you are driving, this indicates your vehicle requires service. Your vehicle continues to have normal braking without the anti-lock brake system function. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Battery

It illuminates when you switch the ignition on. If it illuminates when the engine is running, this indicates your vehicle requires service. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Brake System

    It illuminates when you apply the parking brake and the ignition is on.If it illuminates when your vehicle is moving, make sure the parking brake is released.If the parking brake is released, this indicates low brake fluid level or the brake system requires service. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Note:   Indicators may vary depending on region.

Door Ajar

It illuminates when you switch the ignition on and remains on if any door is open.

Electric Park Brake

It illuminates or flashes when the electric parking brake requires service. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Engine or Motor Coolant Temperature

If it illuminates, safely stop your vehicle and switch your vehicle off. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Fasten Seatbelt

It illuminates and a tone sounds until you fasten the seatbelts.

Fasten Rear Seatbelt

It illuminates and a tone sounds until you fasten the rear seatbelts.

High Voltage Electric System Failure

It illuminates if your vehicle has an electrical component fault or failure that causes your vehicle to shutdown or enter a limited operating mode. A message may appear in the instrument cluster display.

Hood Ajar

It illuminates when the ignition is on and the hood is not completely closed.

Liftgate Ajar

It illuminates when the ignition is on and the liftgate is not completely closed.

Low Beam Warning

It illuminates when the low beam headlamp requires service. Have the system checked as soon as possible.

Low Fuel Level

It illuminates when the fuel level is low.

Low Tire Pressure Warning

It illuminates when your tire pressure is low. If illuminated, check your tire pressure as soon as possible. If it begins to flash at anytime, have the system checked as soon as possible.

Low Washer Fluid

It illuminates when the washer fluid is low.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp

It illuminates when the ignition is on and the engine is off, this is normal operation. If it illuminates when the engine is on this indicates that the emission control system requires service. If it flashes, have your vehicle checked immediately.   See   Starting and Stopping the Engine – Warning Lamps.

Oil Pressure

It illuminates when the engine oil pressure is low.

Powertrain Fault

Illuminates when the powertrain requires service. Have the system checked as soon as possible.

Vehicle Plugged In (If Equipped)

It illuminates when your vehicle is plugged in.
