Safety note
WARNING
Even at temperatures above +3 ℃/+37 ℉
there may be an increased risk of black ice, for
example on bridges or on shaded sections of
road. There is a risk of accident. At low temper‐
atures, adjust driving style to the weather con‐
ditions.
Range
Principle
The range shows what distance can still be cov‐
ered with the content of the fuel tank as well as
energy in the high-voltage battery.
General
The range can be displayed as the range for
electric driving or as the total range. The total
range takes account of the content of the fuel
tank as well as the electrical energy in the high-
voltage battery. If the preconditions for electric
driving are not met, the total range only consid‐
ers the content in the fuel tank.
Various factors, for example automatic air condi‐
tioning settings, are taken into account when cal‐
culating the electric range. The electric range
value is adapted dynamically.
The following factors are taken into account
when calculating the range:
▷ Settings of the automatic air conditioning.
▷ Driving style.
▷ Climate conditions.
A Check Control message is displayed briefly if
the remaining total range is low. If a sporty driv‐
ing style is adopted, for example fast cornering,
engine function cannot be ensured at all times.
If the range drops below approximately 50 km,
30 miles the Check Control message is dis‐
played continuously.
As soon as a low tank fill level has been reached,
ELECTRIC is activated automatically to protect
the internal combustion engine, if the require‐
ments for electric driving are met. The sport pro‐
gram of Steptronic is not available.
It is possible to continue driving with reduced
drive power and exclusively using the electric
motor.
Safety note
NOTE
If the range drops below 50 km, 30 miles, the
engine may no longer be supplied with suffi‐
cient fuel. Engine function is no longer ensured.
There is a risk of material damage. Refuel in
good time.
Electric motor range display
Full Black Panel Display:
The electric range is permanently displayed un‐
der the charge state indicator of the high-voltage
battery.
Instrument cluster without exten‐
ded functionality:
The electric range can be shown
in the fuel consumption display.
Additional information: widgets,
see page 174.
The display indicates that the
high-voltage battery is almost fully
discharged or the electric drive is
not available at the present time.
Total range display
Full Black Panel Display:
The total range is permanently
displayed next to the fuel level in‐
dicator.
