- The lamp in the 'EV' switch illuminates when the Electric Vehicle (EV) mode is selected.
- The Instrument Cluster (IC) displays information on the state of charge of the PHEV battery and related information.
Hybrid (default mode): The PCM selects the appropriate power source to optimize the performance and efficiency of the vehicle.
- The IC displays information for both the petrol engine and the PHEV battery.
'SAVE' mode: Selected from the Interactive Control Display Module (ICDM) 'MY EV' screen.
- In this mode the vehicle is powered by the petrol engine only and the PHEV battery state of charge is maintained.
