Entune™ Plug-in Hybrid Apps [12] include:

Charging Station Map [12] - Using the "Charging Station Map" app on your vehicle multimedia screen, you can search for charging stations near you, filter results by charging capability (e.g., Level 1, Level 2, etc.), and view additional information such as charging station hours of operation, phone number, and number of chargers.

ECO Dashboard [12] - Using the "ECO Dashboard" app on your smartphone, you can remotely track your historical ECO Driving Scores and fuel efficiency, and compare your scores to those of other ECO Dashboard users.

Entune™ Plug-in Hybrid Apps [12] are designed to work simply and intuitively. You can operate many of the apps via your smartphone interface when away from your vehicle. These apps will allow you to access the status of select vehicle information such as your vehicle's charge status. You can also use these apps to activate select vehicle operations, including initiating an immediate recharge (when the vehicle is plugged-in) and turning on the air conditioning [14].

To allow for the Entune™ Plug-in Hybrid Apps [12] to send information to and from the vehicle, the apps are integrated with the Safety Connect® [13] system, which has embedded cellular and GPS technology - therefore an active Safety Connect® [13] account is required.

Using the touch screen on your vehicle's multimedia system, you can access the Charging Station Map [12] application via a Bluetooth® [3] connection to your mobile phone. Using the "Charging Station Map" app on your multimedia screen, you can search for charging stations near you, filter results by charging capability (e.g., Level 1, Level 2, etc.), and view additional information such as charging station hours of operation, phone number, and number of chargers (when available).
