How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    While parked, press the steering-wheel menu button, select MyView and then Configure MyView.

  2. 02

    Highlight EV Coach and press OK; if the screen limit is reached, deselect another MyView item first.

  3. 03

    Recall EV Coach in MyView and watch for a blue propulsion bar inside the box when the engine is off.

  4. 04

    During safe deceleration, use the green box as feedback for regenerative braking; white indicates the engine or conventional brakes are also involved.

Important limits

  • Treat the display as feedback, not a target that overrides traffic or safe braking.
  • Hard acceleration, battery temperature, cabin demand and other conditions can start the engine.
  • Screen names or availability can vary with equipment and software.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If EV Coach is not listed, confirm the vehicle is a Hybrid or Plug-In Hybrid with the supported cluster.
  • ✓If the selected screen does not appear, remove another screen because MyView capacity is limited.
  • ✓If the bar turns white, reduce demand only when it is safe; white operation is not a fault.
