Electric motor performance display
The power display for the electric motor is loca-
ted on the right-hand side of the instrument
cluster.
The current condition of charge of the high-volt-
age battery is shown as a percentage in condi-
tion of charge display A. 100% corresponds to
the highest possible charge level of the high-
voltage battery.
There are two further areas located to the left
and right of condition of charge display A:
R
Area : to ; (E-DRIVE):
This shows the electric output from the elec-
tric motor, e.g. during electric operation or in
boost mode.
When the motor is switched on, the display is
at lower limit ;. With increasing pressure on
the accelerator pedal the display fills up
from ; to :.
Driving with the electric motor: when the
display reaches upper limit :, the combus-
tion engine is switched on. If the display is
approaching upper limit : and you remove
your foot from the accelerator pedal, the dis-
play empties again. The combustion engine is
not switched on. At low speeds, you can
thereby control the electric operation usage
so that you only drive in electric mode.
Driving with the combustion engine: the
electric motor supports the combustion
engine by providing addit
iona
l torque (boost
mode) until the display reaches upper
limit :.
