qualiNed specialist workshop. The driver's display shows the following basic
inf

ormation:
= Speed and power meter level
= Range according to average consumption, per-
sonal driving style or high-consumption driving
style
= State of charge of the high-voltage battery
= Indicator and warning lamps
Additional functions available include the follow-
ing: = DiMerent menus, e.g. for assistance and navi-
gation
= Status displays for the driving systems
= Display messages
Some menu content and settings can be custom-
ised. Notes on the range
The r ange in general
= All ranges shown are assumptions based on
various calculation bases. The actual range
achieved may diMer from the range displayed.
= Outside temperatures, climate control set-
tings, vehicle interior temperatures, road con-
ditions, driving style etc. directly inOuence the
achievable range.
= Pay attention to the charging prompts at all
times.
Range according to personal driving style
= Your previous personal consumption will be
taken into account when the range is being
calculated.
= While the navigation system or commuter
route is active, additional information about
the route ahead can be included in the range
calculation.
Range with low consumption = The maximum range shows the potential range
when consumption is low, e.g. as a result of Driver display
319

economical driving or having the air condition-
ing sy
stem turned oM.
Range with high consumption = The minimum range shows the range when
consumption is high, e.g. as a result of a
sporty driving style or having the air condition-
ing system turned on.
= This range is determined based on past and
current consumption Ngures.
Electric energy consumption = The From start and From reset consumption
Ngures take into account all active consumer
equipment when it comes to the drive sys-
tem's operational readiness õ.
% If the range maximisation function is switched
on, t

he range on the speedometer may
increase depending on the potential range
