EFFICIENCY

Driving Style

Your driving style plays a large role in the efficiency of the vehicle. Avoid rapid acceleration

or deceleration to help maximize energy efficiency and range. Electric range is maximized at

50 mph and below; higher speeds use more energy and significantly reduce range.

Press the CONFIG button to select

the Enhanced Configuration of the

instrument cluster to display the

efficiency gauge.

While driving, try to keep the spinning ball

in the Efficiency Gauge green and in the

center of the gauge. The ball will turn yel-

low and move up or down during inefficient

acceleration or aggressive braking. The

ball stops spinning when the vehicle stops.

Efficiency Gauge

Driver-Selected Operating Modes

Press the DRIVE MODE button on the center stack to scroll through a menu of operating

modes when more performance is needed. After three seconds, the highlighted mode will

become active. At the next start, the vehicle will default to Normal mode.

Normal (Default)

Use when possible in normal driving

conditions for efficient operation; is active

each time the vehicle is started.

Sport

Use when more responsive acceleration is

desired; may reduce efficiency.

Mountain

Engage prior to entering mountainous

terrain (long grades of 5% or higher);

reduces efficiency but provides power to

maintain higher speeds on steep grades.

Climate Settings

Optimal efficiency is achieved with the heat, air conditioning and fan turned off.

If using the climate mode settings, the most efficient operation is in the following order:

• FAN ONLY – electric cabin heating/cooling is off

• ECO – limits cabin heating/cooling to balance comfort with energy use

• COMFORT – provides the most cabin heating/cooling but uses the most energy

Use the heated seats (if equipped) to reduce the demand on the cabin heating system.

Heating the seats uses less energy than heating the vehicle interior.
