Is there a way to see the charge level of the traction battery (how many estimated miles left on the current charge -- or even just the picture icon) without having to turn the car "on" AND shift into either Drive or Reverse? There are times in my garage where I forget how much charge is left, I have a short distance trip coming up, and I just want to see how much charge is left. But unless I'm missing something, one has to not only turn the car "on", but actually shift into either R or D to have the "estimated miles" number pop up on the MFD. Even turning the car on, is there a way to quickly see either the state-of-charge icon, or the estimated miles figure, without having to shift it into gear inside my garage? (I have the 7" Plus screen) Thanks!
When it's On without Ready mode, you can see the range (or % if you have it set to that) on the upper left of the MFD, but the screen is really dim if it's in Park. You can also see your range by keep hitting the Trip button on the steering wheel.
So you're saying you get to ON or ACC mode by pressing the Power button without pressing the Brake pedal, thus not going to READY mode?
Correct. Don't hold the brake and push the start button twice to get to On mode without Ready. I was wrong about Accessory mode, you cannot see the MFD or trip in that mode.
You're right, the screen does show it, just really dim if not in R or D. That's fine, it's good enough to see if I need to plug it in or not. Thanks!
