Neither in the useless owner's manual:headbang:, nor in this incredibly useful forum:clap:, have I found any explanation of what the two indicators in the power meter dial telling me. I am also a little uncertain of what the green bars mean in the battery icon in the multi-info display. In case it makes a difference, I live in California and I have an 09 HiHy.
First, the power meter... There are two different indicators in the power meter - a set of four white bars going up the left side (almost to the 50), and a needle which swings across the entire range of the dial. In addition, below the zero-point of the needle there is a "charge" section into which the needle sometimes swings. What do the white bars tell me? What does the needle tell me? What does it mean when they are both active at the same time. What does it mean when the needle swings down into the charge zone.
Now for battery icon in the multi-info display... This icon has a stack of green bars within it. I have never seen mine show anything but one bar from the top - never lower, never higher. Is this a bar graph of how much charge is currently available in the hybrid battery?
Thanks all from a HiHy newbie!
