    My electronic user manual page 111 "Drive monitor". You use trip button to scroll between different trip displays and ODO.

    How many miles on the odometer? Have any or both of the trip meters been reset? And has the odometers mpg gauge been reset? If the car still has one trip meter that has only been through it's 10k miles auto reset or the odometers mpg gauge has not been reset, either mistakenly or for some other reason. There is a screen on the MID ((multi informational display ) that shows EV% for both trip meters and the odometer.

    After putting the car in ready mode hit the down arrow on the right side steering wheel ring twice and look at the screen. Than hit the trip button of the left hand side of the steering wheel to see the EV% for the trip meters.

    You can’t. That is because, unfortunately, the car does not store the information about the plug-in energy.

    You need to estimate it using the kWh you used. For example, if you average 30 mi per full charge, estimate how many full charges you had. You can then correct the mpg shown on the odometer by subtracting the plug-in miles corresponding to your full charges.

    There is another complication. The odometer estimates the mpg by 5 mpg, which you should subtract.

    Since you are in Ireland, you may be using ℓ/100 km for the fuel-economy unit.

    For example, my odometer mpg is 84.8 mpg. This corresponds to an actual mpg of 79.8 mpg. However, this also includes the plug-in miles. When I estimate and subtract the plug-in miles, I get about 70 mpg, perhaps a little below like 67 mpg, for the HEV-only (non-plug-in) mileage.
