system
Displays in the instrument cluster
The concept The following functions of the hybrid system
are displayed:
▷High-voltage battery charge indicator, refer
to page 88.▷Electric driving: eDRIVE.▷Acceleration boost: eBOOST, refer to
page 89.▷Energy recovery: CHARGE, refer to
page 89.▷Drive readiness: READY, refer to
page 88.
The display depends on the system's operat‐
ing condition.
Note High voltage
Even if no bars are displayed in the bat‐
tery symbol, the high-voltage system is still under high voltage.◀
High-voltage battery charge indicator
When drive readiness is switched on in COM‐
FORT mode, displays the available charge of
the high-voltage battery with bars in a battery
symbol. If five bars are shown, the high-voltage
battery is fully charged.
During normal vehicle operation, the high-volt‐
age battery is charged up to approx. 80 %.
This ensures optimum energy recovery when
braking or driving downhill.
Drive readiness: READY READY indicates drive readi‐
ness. For further information,
please refer to Drive readiness
in detail, refer to page 74.
Electric driving: eDRIVE
When driving in COMFORT or ECO PRO
