It also doesn't show of the engine is recharging the battery.
Thanks for that info nash, it is hard to find things out because the dealers around here don't seem to know much about the car....sadly.

I need a few definitions just to be sure I'm on the same page...

MFD = Multi Function Display?

SOC = ??

Also, what exactly does the consumption gauge on the dash do? When I test drove the TCH I didn't have enough time to figure out the purpose or how to really read it....I'm sure the manual would explain this but I don't have one as I don't have the car.

Thanks,
Mike
