Displays in the instrument cluster

The concept

The display depends on the system's operating
condition. The following functions of the hybrid
system are shown in the instrument cluster.


▷ High-voltage battery charge indicator.
▷ Electric driving: eDRIVE.
▷ Acceleration boost: ASSIST and eBOOST.
▷ Energy recovery: CHARGE.
▷ Auto Start/Stop function: READY.

High-voltage battery charge indicator

When driving readiness is switched on in COM‐
FORT mode, displays the available charge of the
high-voltage battery with bars in a battery sym‐
bol. If five bars are shown, the high-voltage bat‐
tery is fully charged.
During normal vehicle operation, the high-volt‐
age battery is charged up to approx. 80 %. This
ensures optimum energy recovery when decel‐
erating or driving downhill.
Even if no bars are displayed in the battery sym‐
bol, the hybrid system is still under high voltage.

Electric driving: eDRIVE

When driving with electric power, the power out‐
put of the electric motor is indicated by arrows
on the instrument cluster.
