FORD 2014 Focus Electric - Manual (Page 106)

• Budget view: helps you manage your energy use.
Your current Energy Use is the white line that moves up and down in
the Budget Gauge. A higher line means you are using more energy
(lower is better). Your energy use includes input from the accelerator
pedal as well as the accessories, such as Climate Control.
The Budget is shown by the blue cup shape around the Budget Gauge.
As long as your current Energy Use is within the cup, you are staying
within your budget. Your Budget represents the maximum energy usage
you can maintain in order to achieve your vehicle range estimate, or
reach your intended charge point. Driving for extended periods outside
of the Budget Cup reduces your budget and could put you at risk of not
reaching your intended charge point.
• Range view: shows your range relative to your charge point as well as
performance to your budget.
A blue charge point icon means you have a Surplus. If an E appears to
the left of an amber charge point icon, then you are projected to run
out of charge prior to reaching your charge point.
Current performance to your budget is represented by the glow of the car
icon: more Blue = better performance to budget, more Amber = worse.
The optional Surplus Graphic displays available range beyond your
charge point.
If you didn’t enter your charge point through the Navigation system,
your budget will be set to the range estimate at the start of your trip.
The gauge will show your estimated distance to E (empty) along with
your current performance to budget. The optional Surplus Graphic is
not available in this case.
• MyView: You can choose what to display in this view. Selecting Change
MyView in the options menu allows you to use the right and left
arrows to scroll through two columns of content choices. Once you
have your desired content showing in each column, press OK to save.
The content you select is saved to the current driver’s key as MyView.
Accessory Power: Indicates electrical power demands from your
vehicle’s accessory systems. The gauge separately displays power
demand in kilowatts (kW) for climate and other accessories.
