Edmac49 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 What is the difference between "Engage" and "Empower" on the dash monitor? Does either one impact the performance or are they just two different ways to monitor the performance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plus 3 golfer Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Displays do not affect performance. It's personal preference. I like empower as it provides the moving threshold level for engine on / off operation primarily based on HVB state of charge. For example, one can see how much one will need to back off accelerator to get vehicle power requirements below the threshold so the ICE shuts down and EV kicks in. It can be useful in hypermiling especially on rolling terrain using pulse / glide. Engage allows one to see the power split between ICE and EV. I guess it's there to validate to owners that EV does assist ICE when needed especially during harder acceleration and higher power requirements. Otherwise, not much use for it. Download the owner's manual to look at the specifics of the displays available. Edited September 20, 2019 by Plus 3 Golfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
