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 and
the remaining available power. This information is
shown in various ways.
Symbols in the hybrid gaugeIndicates the current available power
from the electric motor. A solid symbol
indicates that the electric motor is
being used.
A hollow symbol indicates that the
electric motor is not being used. Indicates the power level when the
internal combustion engine starts. A
solid symbol indicates that the internal
combustion engine is being used.
Indicates the power level when the
internal combustion engine will start. A
hollow symbol indicates that the inter-
nal combustion engine is not being
used. Indicates that the hybrid battery is
being charged, e.g. by lightly pressing
the 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 the
reading on the scale, the more power utilized in
the current gear. The mark between the lightning
symbol and the drop symbol indicates the point
at which the electric motor will switch off and the
internal 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.

The vehicle is generating current to recharge the battery,
e.g. during light braking or engine braking on a down-
slope.

The hybrid battery gauge shows how much cur-
rent is left in the hybrid battery. The current in the hybrid battery is used to power
the electric motor, but can also be used to heat
or cool the vehicle. The trip computer calculates
an approximate driving distance with the remain-
ing current in the hybrid battery.
Symbols in the hybrid battery gauge The symbol in the hybrid battery gauge indi-
cates that the Hold function is activated. The symbol indicates that the
Charge function
is activated.

Trip computer
The vehicle's trip computer registers and calcu-
lates data while driving such as mileage, fuel
consumption and average speed.
To help promote fuel-efficient driving, data is
recorded on both current and average fuel con-
sumption. Data from the trip computer can be
displayed in the instrument panel.
Trip computer information in the instrument panel
1
.
The trip computer includes the following gauges:
• Trip odometer
• Odometer
• Current fuel consumption
• Distance to empty tank
• Distance to discharged battery
• Tourist - alternative speedometer Unit standards for distance, speed, etc. can be
changed via system settings in the center display.
Trip odometerThere are two trip odometers: TM and TA.
TM can be reset manually and TA is reset auto-
matically if the vehicle is not used for four hours.
During a drive, the trip odometer registers data
on:
• Mileage
• Driving time
• Average speed
• Average fuel consumption
The readings since the trip odometer's last reset
are displayed.
OdometerThe odometer records the vehicle's total mileage.
This reading cannot be reset.
Current fuel consumptionThis gauge shows the vehicle's fuel consumption
at that moment. The reading is updated about
once a second.
Distance to empty tankThe trip computer calculates the distance that
can be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank. This calculation is based on average fuel con-
sumption during the last 30 km (20 miles) and
the amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the gauge displays "----", there is not
enough fuel remaining to calculate the remaining
mileage. Refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE This may vary if your driving style changes.
An economical driving style will generally
increase how far you can drive on a certain
amount of fuel.
Distance to discharged batteryThe gauge shows the approximate dis-
tance that can be driven with the
remaining current in the hybrid battery.
When the gauge displays "----", there is little
charge remaining in the battery and distance
cannot be reliably calculated.
This calculation is based on average consump-
tion with a normally loaded vehicle in normal driv-
ing conditions, and takes into account whether
the air conditioning is on or off. Changing drive
modes from
Hybrid to Pure may increase the
calculated distance because Pure mode has
reduced climate control settings (ECO Climate). 1

NOTE
This may vary if your driving style changes.
An economical driving style will generally
increase how far you can drive on a certain
amount of fuel.
Starting values for fully charged hybrid
battery
Because it is difficult to predict driving style and
other factors that affect the range of electric
motors, Volvo uses a starting value when the
vehicle is fully charged. This starting value pro-
vides an "up to" amount instead of a prediction
on the range of the electric current in the motor.
The difference in starting value between
Hybrid
and Pure is because the vehicle is permitted to
use more current from the hybrid battery in
Pure
mode, and because the vehicle switches to ECO
Climate.
Mileage when using electric motor
To achieve the longest possible mileage when
using the electric motor, the driver of an electric
vehicle also needs to think about conserving
electricity. The more electricity consumers
(stereo, heated windows/mirrors/seats, very cold
air from climate control system, etc.) that are
active, the shorter the potential mileage.
NOTE In addition to high electrical consumption in
the passenger compartment, rapid accelera-
tion, sudden braking, high speeds, heavy
loads, low ambient temperatures and driving
up hills can reduce possible driving distance.
Tourist - alternative speedometerThe alternative digital speedometer makes it eas-
ier to drive in countries where speed limit signs
are shown in a different measurement unit than
the one shown in the vehicle's gauges.
When used, the digital speed is displayed in the
opposite unit to that shown in the analog speed-
ometer. If mph is used in the analog speedome-
ter, the equivalent speed in km/h will be shown
in the digital speedometer.
