The following displays can be seen on the
Power meter: ›››Fig.5.
Green zone (Charge). The vehicle recov-
ers electrical energy.
Blue zone (Power %). Driving in Electric
Mode. Indicates the percentage of power
used and the maximum amount of power
currently available.
Revolutions per minute of the combustion
engine when in operation.
The power meter shows the usage level of the
electric drive. The power meter bar shows the
current usage level.
A ner coloured border indicates how much
the propulsion can currently be used. Depend-
ing on the selected driving program and the
current availability of electrical power, the
boundaries of the dierent colours can vary.
Availability of Boost on screen
When the engine is started, the “READY” warn-
ing light goes out and the instrument cluster
displays Boost availability indications with in-
formation about the additional power available
at that time.
Fig.6 In the digital instrument cluster: Boost
availability display
Additional power available.
Additional power not available.
Boost additional power activated.
If rapid acceleration is requested (e.g. by Kick-
Down) the Boost function will be activated and
the vehicle will drive for a short period of time
with maximum power from the electric motor
and combustion engine. This is indicated by
the area below the RPM indicator turning blue.
Note
The Boost function consumes a large
amount of energy and is therefore only avail-
able for a short period of time.
WARNING
When the electrical system has a reduced
performance capability, it can cause a
change in the vehicle’s handling, such as
a dierent acceleration response. This can
cause accidents and serious or even fatal in-
juries.
●
Always adapt your speed and driving style
to suit the visibility, weather, road and traic
conditions, as well as the charge level of the
high-voltage battery.
●
Make sure that the high-voltage battery is
suiciently charged.
