CLUSTER LAYOUTS
The recongurable zone on the left side of the cluster can display the compass, time/tempera-
ture, tire pressure, or the vehicle’s average efciency.
The center zone of the cluster will always display the battery gauge (battery state of charge)
speedometer, and the power indicator gauge (current energy being used or regenerated into
the battery).
The recongurable zone on the right side of the cluster can display audio, connected phone, or
drive information (such as a trip summary or timer).
CLUSTER DISPLAY ZONES
Press the or button of the Driver
Information Center (DIC) controls, located
on the right side of the steering wheel, to
move between the two recongurable
cluster display zones.
Rotate the thumbwheel on the DIC controls
up or down to scroll through the display
menus.
Press the thumbwheel on the DIC controls
to select a highlighted item.
SELECT VEHICLE INFO PAGES
1. Use the DIC controls to open the Options
menu.
2. Scroll to Info Page Options. Press the
thumbwheel to enter the menu.

ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT CONTROL
The electronic drive unit shift lever always
starts in a center position. The selected gear
position illuminates in red. After shifting, the
shift lever returns to the center position.
Park – Press the P button on the front of the
lever to shift into Park.
To shift out of Park, with the vehicle on and
the brake pedal applied, press and hold the
shift lock button on the side of the lever and
select the desired gear.
Reverse – Press and hold the shift lock button on the side of the lever and move the lever up
to shift into Reverse.
Neutral – Move the lever up to shift into Neutral.
Note: The vehicle will not stay in Neutral for an extended period. It will automatically shift into Park.
Drive – Move the lever down to shift into Drive.
Low – With the vehicle in Drive, move the lever down to shift into Low.
ONE-PEDAL DRIVING
With One-Pedal Driving, the vehicle can be slowed or stopped under certain conditions using
only the accelerator pedal, which can help maximize driving range while reducing the need to
switch between the accelerator and brake pedals in heavy trafc. When the accelerator pedal
is not applied, regenerative braking will be
active to help slow the vehicle. Compared to a
traditional vehicle that begins to coast when
not applying the accelerator pedal, One-Pedal
Driving offers a higher rate of decelera-
tion. One-Pedal Driving does not operate in
Reverse. Use the brake pedal for additional
braking or emergency braking.
To change the One-Pedal Driving settings,
go to Settings > Vehicle > One-Pedal
Driving on the infotainment screen.
PEDESTRIAN SAFETY SIGNAL
Due to its quiet operation, the vehicle is equipped with automatic sound generation while in
gear to indicate the vehicle’s presence to pedestrians.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
Some equipment shown may not be included in your vehicle.

DRIVING EFFICIENTLY
MAXIMIZING RANGE
There are a number of factors that inuence energy use and electric range. Here are a few tips
that help improve driving range:
Driving Technique
• Accelerate smoothly to help increase range. Rapid acceleration can drain battery energy
more quickly.
• Use regenerative braking, which can help charge the battery, instead of making rapid stops.
• Drive at posted speed limits. Higher speeds use more energy and signicantly reduce range.
Climate Settings
• Keep exterior doors closed to maintain cabin temperature.
• Use open windows or fan-only settings to cool the cabin.
• Avoid continuous use of the climate control system. Use the heated seat feature instead of
the cabin heating system when possible. The energy needed to warm or cool the cabin can
cause range to decline signicantly.
POWER INDICATOR GAUGE
The instrument cluster features a power
indicator gauge on the right side of the
speedometer, which can help track energy
use and extend battery range.
• When the power indicator gauge is
green, using regenerative braking, your
driving is helping to charge the battery.
• Avoid driving that turns the gauge
amber, which indicates excessive
power use.
The Energy App on the infotainment display also shows the vehicle’s energy usage, providing
feedback on your driving performance. See Charging on page 18.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
Some equipment shown may not be included in your vehicle.
BUCKLE TO DRIVE
Buckle to Drive prevents the vehicle from shifting out of Park if the vehicle is on, the brake
pedal is pressed, and the driver’s seat belt is not buckled. Buckle the seat belt to shift out of
Park. If the seat belt remains unbuckled, the vehicle can be shifted out of Park after 20 sec-
onds. Shifting from Park is prevented once each time the vehicle is started.
See Seats and Restraints in your Owner’s Manual.

CLIMATE SETTINGS
Optimal efciency is achieved with the climate system off (Climate ON indicator is off). Each
mode setting impacts the vehicle’s electric range.
Use only the fan to distribute air through the cabin without active electric heating/cooling
(Heat and A/C indicators are off).
Select Heat or A/C (Heat or A/C indicator is on) for active electric heating/cooling. This
setting uses more energy.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
1. Press AUTO.
2. Set the temperature.
Allow time for the system to reach the set temperature. If fan speed, air delivery, air
conditioning, electric heating or recirculation is manually adjusted, automatic operation for
that function is turned off.
MAXIMUM DEFROST
Press the Defrost button to quickly clear the windshield (uses the most energy).
HEATED SEAT
Press the Heated Seat button instead of the Heat button to reduce demand (uses less
energy).
See Climate Controls in your Owner’s Manual.
