Important safety notes
G WARNIN G
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipmen t integrate d in th e vehi-
cle while driving , you will be distracte d from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of th e vehicle. Ther e is a ris k of an accident.
Only operate th e equipmen t when th e traffic
situation permits. If you are no t sur e that this
is possible , park th e vehicl e payin g attention
to traffic condition s and operate th e equip-
men t when th e vehicl e is stationary.
You must observ e th e legal requirements for th e
country in whic h you are currentl y driving when
operating th e on-board computer.

If th e instrumen t cluste r has faile d or mal-
functioned, you may no t recognize function
restriction s in systems relevan t to safety. The
operating safet y of your vehicl e may be
impaired . Ther e is a ris k of an accident.
Pull ove r as soo n as it is saf e to do so and
consult a qualified specialist workshop.
The on-board computer only shows message s or
warning s from certain systems in th e multifunc-
tion display. You should therefor e mak e sur e
your vehicl e is operating safely at all times .
Fo r an overview, see th e instrumen t panel illus-
tration ( Y
page 9).
You can fin d further information about operating
th e on-board computer in th e vehicl e Operator's
Manual. Displays and operation
Electric motor performance display
The power display for th e electric motor is loca-
te d on th e right-hand side of th e instrumen t
cluster. R
Area C to D (E-DRIVE):
This shows th e electric output from th e elec -
tric motor, e.g. during electric operation or in
boos t mode.
When th e motor is switched on , th e needle is
at limi t C . Wit h increasing pressur e on th e
accelerato r pedal th e needle moves from C
to D .
Driving with th e electri c motor: when th e
needle reaches limi t D th e combustion
engin e is switched on . If th e display
approaches limi t D and you remove your foo t
from th e accelerato r pedal , th e needle drops
again . The combustion engin e is no t switched
on . At low speeds, you can thereby control th e
electric operation usage so that you only driv e
in electric mode.
Driving with th e combustion engine: th e
electric motor support s th e combustion
engin e by providing additional driv e torque
(boost mode) until th e needle reaches
limi t D .
You can also select th e operating mod e of th e
hybrid driv e system ( Y
