HYBRID-RELATED INFORMATION IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
Various symbols and animations will be displayed in the instrument panel, depending on the drive mode selected. Electrical current and fuel consumption are indicated in a gauge to the right. Consumption is affected by driving style. When the white indicatorline passes the white arrow at the top of the gauge, the combustionengine will start. When the indicator line is in the orange section of thegauge, the hybrid battery is being charged, e.g. during light braking. Distance to discharged battery
This indicator shows the approximate distance that can be driven before the hybrid battery is discharged. This distance is affectedby a number of factors, e.g. driving style, speed and ambient tem-perature, and may vary during the course of a drive. In normal con-ditions, you can expect a range of 16-32 km (10-20 miles). Theinitial value displayed when the hybrid battery is fully chargedshows a maximum possible distance instead of an estimate of therange on electrical power and is adjusted during your drive. When“---” is displayed in the instrument panel, there is no guaranteedelectrical current remaining in the battery.
Symbols in the instrument panel
A solid white symbol indicates which power source is being used. A "lightning" symbol indicates that the electric motor is beingused and a "drop" symbol indicates the combustion engine isbeing used.
Indicates that the battery is being charged, e.g. during engine braking.
This gauge indicates the current charge level in the hybrid battery. Electrical current is also used by the climate system.
Indicates that the Charge or Hold functions are active. These are
activated from the center display's function view. Charge means that the hybrid battery is being charged if its charge level is low.
Hold means that the battery level is being retained for later use.
Starting and stopping the combustion engine The vehicle calculates when the combustion engine, electric motor or both need to be used. When running on the electric motor, the vehiclemay sometimes need to start the engine automatically due to externalfactors, e.g. low ambient temperatures. The combustion engine willalways start when the hybrid battery has reached its lowest chargelevel.

Right-side steering wheel keypad The right-side steering wheel keypad controls the instrument panel.Open/close the app menu. From here, you can control the trip computer, media player, a connected cell phone and the naviga-
tion system.
Press the left/right arrows to scroll among the apps.
Select/deselect or confirm a choice, e.g. select the trip comput- er's menu or erase a message from the instrument panel.
Scroll among a selected app's functions by pressing the up/down arrows.
Raise/lower the media volume by pressing or . If no other
function is active these buttons serve as volume control. Voice control is activated by pressing the
button to give voice com-
mands for e.g. media, navigation * and climate systems. Say e.g. “
Radio”,
“Raise temperature” or “Cancel”.
See the chapter "Voice control" in this Quick Guide for additional voice commands. Trip computer The trip computer shows e.g. mileage, fuel consumption and average speed. You can choose the type of trip computer information that willbe displayed in the instrument panel. The trip computer calculates theremaining distance that can be driven on the amount of fuel remainingin the tank or until the hybrid battery is discharged. Use the buttons onthe right-side steering wheel keypad to display the various options.When “----” is displayed in the instrument panel, there is no guaranteedelectrical current remaining in the battery.
