Efficiency
Electric Range
Electric range is affected by colder outside temperatures. During colder months, the
energy needed to warm the vehicle’s cabin and propulsion battery can cause the vehicle’s
electric range to decline. See Driving for Better Energy Efciency in the Driving and
Operating section in your Owner Manual.
Driving Style
Your driving style plays a large role in the efciency of the vehicle. Avoid rapid acceleration
or deceleration to help maximize energy efciency and range. Electric range is maximized
at 50 mph and below; higher speeds use more energy and signicantly reduce electric
range.
Efciency Gauges
Use the 5-way control to select an instru-
ment cluster layout that displays the
green efciency bar, ball or ring indicator.
While driving, try to keep the bar or ring
green, or the ball in the center of the gauge,
depending on the cluster theme selected.
The bar or ring will turn yellow or the ball
will move up or down during inefcient
acceleration or aggressive braking.
Sport Mode
Press the MODE button on the center of the instrument panel to select the Normal or
Sport driving mode.
Normal (Default)
Use in normal driving conditions for efcient operation. This mode is active each time the
vehicle is started.
Sport
Use when more performance is needed. This mode increases throttle response. The Sport
indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster.
Regen on Demand™
Regen on Demand temporarily regenerates
energy from the vehicle’s momentum and
stores it in the high voltage propulsion bat-
tery for later use.
To activate Regen on Demand, pull and
hold the left paddle on the back of the
steering wheel without pressing the
brake pedal or accelerator pedal.
While pulling the paddle, the vehicle will begin to decelerate using regenerative braking.
Regen on Demand is deactivated once the paddle is released or the accelerator pedal is
pressed.
