EV Instrument Cluster Overview

On an electric vehicle, or EV, the INSTRUMENT CLUSTER is unique compared to a conventional instrument cluster. It displays…
Distance to Empty …
It has a Power/Charge Gauge …
Battery State of Charge indicator …
Regenerative Braking Level indicator …
And an Electric Energy Economy indicator.
To adjust the INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ILLUMINATION, with the headlamps on, press and hold the PLUS to increase illumination…
Or press and hold “MINUS” to dim the display.
The POWER/CHARGE GAUGE shows the energy consumption rate as well as the charging status of the regenerative brakes.
POWER displays the current energy consumption rate when accelerating or driving up a hill - the more electric energy used, the higher the gauge level.
CHARGE shows the charging status of the battery when it’s being charged by the regenerative brakes when decelerating or going downhill. The more electric energy is charged, the lower the gauge level.
STATE OF CHARGE shows the charging status of the high voltage battery.
If it shows one hundred percent, that means it’s fully charged.
Before you start on a trip, check to see if there is enough charge to reach your destination.
When the remaining battery power is lower than ten percent, a warning light comes on and the vehicle can drive an additional 18 to 25 miles, depending on the driving speed, driving style, and the use of the heater or air conditioner. When the range goes below 25 miles, the vehicle speed is limited. If this warning light comes on, charge the vehicle as soon as possible.
The GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR is like a typical vehicle, displaying the current position of the transmission -
Park, Reverse, Neutral, and Drive.
The REGENERATIVE BRAKING LEVEL INDICATOR indicates the level of regenerative braking that has been set.
Watch the video on REGENERATIVE BRAKING that goes into detail about how to set the regenerative braking level.
There is an LCD display in the center of the Instrument Panel. The LCD display modes can be changed by using the control buttons on the steering wheel:

When you select the INFORMATION Mode, you can access Tire Pressure information.
There is also a MASTER WARNING mode that displays warning messages when one or more of the systems are not operating normally.
These can include LED headlamp malfunction… lamp malfunction… or High Beam Assist malfunction, if equipped.
When the malfunction is resolved, the Master Warning light turns off.
