ELECTRIC & EXTENDED  
RANGE MODE  
Range Mode  
The ELR is an electric vehicle with extended range capability.  
Plug it in, let it charge overnight, and it’s ready to run on a pure  
electric charge — gas- and tailpipe emissions-free. After that, the  
ELR uses a range-extending gas engine that produces enough  
energy to power it for hundreds of miles on a single tank of gas.  
Electric Mode  
In Electric Mode, the ELR will not use gasoline or produce tailpipe  
emissions. During this primary mode, the ELR is powered by  
electrical energy stored in its high voltage propulsion battery. It  
can operate in this mode until the battery is depleted to a prede-  
termined level.  
Electric range is affected by colder outside temperatures. During  
colder months, the energy needed to warm the vehicle’s cabin  
and high voltage propulsion battery can cause the vehicle’s elec-

ELR uses a range-extending gas engine that produces enough  
energy to power it for hundreds of miles on a single tank of gas.  
Extended-Range Mode  
Once the electric charge is depleted, the range-extending gas  
engine will start to generate enough power to continue driving the  
vehicle. Engine operation ensures that you will not be stranded by  
a depleted battery. The vehicle determines when the engine  
needs to run. Engine speed will vary, depending on driving  
the high voltage propulsion battery. The vehicle must be plugged  
in to recharge.

Use the 5-way control to select an instrument  
cluster theme that displays the green ring

Regen on Demand temporarily regenerates energy from the  
vehicle’s momentum and stores it in the high voltage propulsion  
battery for later use.  
While driving, try to keep the ring green or the leaf  
in the center of the gauge.  
To activate Regen on Demand, pull and hold either paddle on  
the back of the steering wheel without pressing the brake pedal  
or accelerator pedal.  
While pulling either paddle, the vehicle will begin to decelerate  
using regenerative braking. Regen on Demand is deactivated  
once the paddles are released, or the brake pedal or accelerator  
pedal is pressed.
