Plug-in Power Mode and Hybrid Mode
You must plug in your Energi vehicle regularly for optimal use of the high voltage battery's extended range capability. Charging your vehicle adds electrical energy. This energy is used to propel the vehicle in plug-in power mode.
Estimated electric range is shown in blue next to gasoline range at the bottom of the right information display. You can also configure MyView to include detailed vehicle range information. See  Gauges - Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), China . 
The system maximizes the use of electric-only operation in plug-in power mode. System conditions may require engine operation; however, the system uses plug-in power whenever possible.
When your plug-in power is depleted, the powertrain system will automatically switch to hybrid mode. Hybrid mode uses both the gasoline engine and electric motor to power your vehicle and maximize fuel economy.
EV Modes
EV Mode Icon  Your vehicle contains selectable EV modes through the EV button on the center console.
These modes are available when your vehicle can run under high voltage battery power. With your vehicle in driving mode, you can change EV modes with each press of the EV button. The current mode will be displayed in the left-hand instrument cluster screen.
Auto EV
Auto Mode  This mode provides an automatic use of high voltage battery power during the drive, staying in electric mode when possible and running the engine when needed. This mode will be the only one available if the plug-in power has been depleted.
EV Now
EV Mode Icon  This mode provides an electric only driving experience. The left-hand information display changes to a screen displaying your average miles or kilometers per charge along with EV specific tools and functions.
Your vehicle may accelerate more slowly and the top speed may be lower in EV Now mode than in Auto EV mode.
You can enable your engine at any time by using one of the following methods:
  1. Press the OK button on the left 5–way steering wheel control while viewing the miles or kilometers per charge screen. Your vehicle will enable the engine as needed, and will automatically return to EV Now after eight seconds or when the engine is no longer needed.
  1. Press the accelerator pedal fully. A pop up message will appear. Press OK on the left-hand steering wheel button to activate as needed. The message will disappear if you release the accelerator pedal.
  1. Press the EV button. This will change the mode to EV Later and permit engine operation.
Your vehicle may automatically enter Engine Enabled mode if system conditions require it. A engine enabled message will display if this occurs. This is normal function, and your vehicle will return to EV Now when possible.
Your vehicle may enter Enable Engine mode if the climate control is in a defrost mode and the outside temperature is cold. A engine enabled message will display if this occurs. If defrost is not needed, select a different climate control mode to permit EV Now.
When you enable EV Now, a blue EV icon displays in the left-hand information display. If your vehicle is in the Engine Enabled mode, the EV icon will be yellow.
EV Now will automatically exit when the Plug in power has been depleted.
EV Later
Electric Vehicle Later Icon  This mode saves most of the high voltage battery plug in power for future use (for example, your initial drive is at high speeds on open roads, but later your drive will be at low speeds in an urban area where plug-in power usage is most efficient). Your vehicle will run the engine as needed and keep most of the high voltage battery plug in power for later use in Auto Mode or EV Now mode.
When you enable EV Later, a white EV Later icon appears on the left-hand information display.
The EV Later mode will automatically reset to EV Auto mode when you power your vehicle off. You may press the EV button twice during the next drive to return to EV Later mode, if desired.
ECO Cruise
Note:   ECO Cruise is available as a separate feature on Energi vehicles only. On non plug-in vehicles it is included in EcoSelect.
 This feature saves vehicle energy by relaxing acceleration compared to standard cruise control. For example, your vehicle may temporarily lose speed when going uphill.When set to on, ECO appears in the information display when cruise control is on.
You can switch it on or off in through the information display. See   - Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), China .

Low Engine Use
The low engine use mode is equipped on Energi models only. The Low Engine Use mode maintains proper engine lubrication at sufficient temperature, and will activate automatically when you drive your vehicle with limited engine operation. When your vehicle is in low engine use mode, your vehicle will automatically run the engine as necessary.
Note:   If your vehicle is in low engine use mode when you start your vehicle, a message will appear in the information display. See  Information Messages - Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), China, Vehicles Built From: 16-08-2016 . 
If you select the EV Now mode while the vehicle is in the low engine use mode, EV Now mode will be suspended for as long as you are in low engine use mode. The low engine use mode will resume the next time you start your vehicle and will automatically stop when no longer needed.
Note:   Cold temperatures will affect the engine warm up time and the low engine use mode may operate more frequently.
Note:   An oil change is not required but gives you the option of not running a low engine use cycle. Resetting the oil life monitoring system will suspend the low engine use mode.
