If you don’t enter a charge point, you will see:

Budget: is set to the Range Estimate at the point of departure. This
will count down with the odometer.

Status: is your performance against your Budget (current Range
Estimate shown on Battery Gauge minus Budget distance). A positive
Status indicates you are using less energy than typical and have
extended your Range Estimate by the distance shown.

• 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 scroll through two columns
of content choices. The content you select is saved to the current
driver’s key as MyView.
