Message Center Displays - Information On-Demand

The information on-demand displays in the message center are selected by the customer using the RH steering wheel switch.

Electric Efficiency Display (PHEV) 

The IPC provides a message center display indicating the average driving distance per kWh of electricity used. The value is calculated when the available electric range is being used, and the gasoline engine is off. A distance per full charge displays the estimated electric vehicle range if the vehicle is plugged into an external charging source and fully charged. The higher the electric efficiency, the higher the distance per full charge.

The IPC receives the range per charge display message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the range per charge display message from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Coach Display 

The Electric Vehicle (EV) coach display provides the driver with vehicle power and power level recovered during regenerative braking. When the driver accelerates or maintains vehicle speed, the display will indicate the vehicle power level and the power level when the engine will turn on. When the driver decelerates, either by releasing the accelerator pedal or pressing the brake pedal, the display will indicate the power being used to slow the vehicle. The display also indicates the amount of energy available that the regenerative braking system can recover. For additional information, refer to the Owner Literature.

The IPC receives the power level fill display, power level threshold display and power regeneration threshold display messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the power level fill display, power level threshold display and power regeneration threshold display messages from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.

Fuel Economy Display (PHEV) 

The fuel economy gauge provides the Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE) and Average Fuel Economy (AFE) data. The data is displayed as part of the fuel economy information in the on-demand gauge display in the message center. The Average Fuel Economy (AFE) is the calculated fuel economy since the last reset. It is calculated in the IPC and can be reset or cleared by the customer in the message center.

The IPC uses the engine active display, fuel flow volume display, odometer count, ignition key type and vehicle speed messages to calculate the Average Fuel Economy (AFE). The IPC receives the messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the engine active display, fuel flow volume display, odometer count and vehicle speed messages from the PCM over the HS-CAN1. The GWM receives the ignition key type message from the BCM over the HS-CAN1.

When the gas engine is off, the Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE) display is replaced with the message "electric driving".

High Voltage Battery Display (PHEV, China) 

The high voltage battery display indicates the total percentage of battery charge available associated with electric only driving range. A full fill display indicates the total amount of energy obtained from an external charging source (vehicle plugged in). When the fill display indicates empty, the powertrain system will automatically switch to operating in hybrid mode.

The IPC receives the battery state of charge data message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the battery charge data message from the BECM over the HS-CAN1.

This Trip (PHEV) 

The This Trip display provides a trip timer, trip average fuel economy, total trip distance traveled and distance traveled on electric power only (engine off). If the gas engine has not turned on during the calculated trip, the average fuel economy is not displayed. This Trip automatically resets with each vehicle start. This Trip is calculated internally in the IPC.

Trip 1 and Trip 2 

The Trip 1 and Trip 2 displays provide a trip timer, average fuel economy, total trip distance traveled and distance traveled on electric power only (engine off). The customer can reset the Trip data in the message center display. The Trip displays are calculated internally in the IPC.

TPMS 

The IPC provides a message center display showing each tire on a vehicle image to indicate specific tire pressures.

The IPC receives the tire pressure system status and tire pressure placard data messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the tire pressure system status and tire pressure placard data messages from the BCM over the HS-CAN1.
