A finer coloured border indicates how much the
propulsion can currently be used. Depending
on the selected driving program and the cur-
rent availability of electrical power, the boun-
daries 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 infor-
mation 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 available 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 trac
conditions, as well as the charge level of the
high-voltage battery.
●
Make sure that the high-voltage battery is
suciently charged.
