High-voltage battery charge indicator
High voltage
Even if no fill level bars are displayed next
to the battery symbol, the high-voltage system
is still under high voltage.◀
The fill level bars indicate the available charg‐
ing state of the high-voltage battery when op‐
erating readiness and drive readiness are
switched on.
With a low range the color of the charging sta‐
tus indicator switches from blue to yellow.
In addition, the range for electric driving is dis‐
played.
With Range Extender: maintaining charging state
The arrow on the charging state indicator
designates the Range Extender reel-on time. If
Range Extender is activated, the current
charging state of the high-voltage battery is
maintained.

page 88.
Range
The expected range for the energy stored in
the high-voltage battery is displayed on the
right side of the instrument cluster next to the
charging state indicator of the high-voltage
battery.
With Range Extender:
The range of the Range Extender is displayed
separately next to the fuel gauge. The total
range can be displayed via the on-board com‐
puter. Expanding the range with Range Ex‐
tender, refer to page 69.
Two Check Control messages indicate a lim‐
ited range.
The range display is dynamic.
The range can be abruptly reduced or in‐
creased based on the following factors:▷Driving style.▷Traffic conditions.▷Program change via Driving Dynamics
Control.▷Climate and terrain conditions.▷Automatic climate control settings.▷After determination of a route by the navi‐
gation system.▷When exiting a route or recalculating a
route.Hints

Always make sure that the range is suffi‐
cient for the planned trip. The range is dynamic
and can abruptly change.◀

The concept
Speed limit detection
Speed limit detection uses a symbol in the
shape of a traffic sign to display the currently
detected speed limit. The camera in the area of
the interior rearview mirror detects traffic signs
at the edge of the road as well as variable over‐
head sign posts. Traffic signs with extra sym‐
bols for wet road conditions, etc. are also de‐
tected and compared with the vehicle's
onboard data, such as for the rain sensor, and
will be displayed depending on the situation.
The system takes into account the information
stored in the navigation system and also dis‐
plays speed limits present on routes without
signs.
Hints Personal judgment
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver's personal judgment of the traffic
situation.
The system assists the driver and does not re‐
place the human eye.◀

Camera
The camera is found near the interior rearview
mirror.

front of you.▷When driving toward bright lights.▷When the windshield behind the interior
rearview mirror is fogged over, dirty or cov‐
ered by a sticker, etc.▷In the event of incorrect detection by the
camera.▷If the speed limits stored in the navigation
system are incorrect.▷In areas not covered by the navigation sys‐
tem.▷When roads differ from the navigation,
such as due to changes in road routing.▷When passing buses or trucks with a
speed sticker.▷If the traffic signs are non-conforming.▷During calibration of the camera immedi‐
ately after vehicle shipment.
Selection lists in the
