Hybrid gauge
In Hybrid and Pure drive modes, the instrument panel will display a hybrid gauge, which can help the driver achieve optimal driving economy.
The hybrid gauge shows the ratio between the electric motor's current power consumption andthe remaining available power. This information isshown in various ways.
Symbols in the hybrid gaugeIndicates the current available powerfrom the electric motor. A solid symbolindicates that the electric motor isbeing used.
A hollow symbol indicates that the electric motor is not being used.
Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine starts. Asolid symbol indicates that the internalcombustion engine is being used.
Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine will start. Ahollow symbol indicates that the inter-nal combustion engine is not being
used.
Indicates that the hybrid battery is being charged, e.g. by lightly pressingthe brake pedal.
Driver-requested powerThe hybrid gauge displays the amount of power requested (utilized) by the driver through pres-sure on the accelerator pedal. The higher thereading on the scale, the more power utilized inthe current gear. The mark between the lightningsymbol and the drop symbol indicates the pointat which the electric motor will switch off and theinternal combustion engine will take over.
For example:
The vehicle has been started, but is stationary and no power is being requested.
The electric motor cannot supply the requested power and the internal combustion engine will start.
