WARNING
The operating condition of the high-
voltage battery (e.g. not yet at normal
operating temperature or fully charged)
influences the braking effect of the
electric motor.
In overrun or braking mode, the motor's
braking effect may therefore be reduced or
may not be present at all.
As a result of the reduced engine braking
effect, you may cause an accident and
injure yourself or others.
Compensate for the reduced engine braking
effect by pressing the brake pedal
accordingly, as required.
! Do not hang any objects on the power
gauge.
This could cause the power gauge to be
torn from its mountings and be damaged.
Power gauge 0003contains two segments:
R Section right of 0
Power gauge 0003indicates the current
power that the drive system delivers to
the rear wheels. 100 % correspond to
55 kW peak power.
R Section left of 0
When you release the accelerator pedal
or when you depress the brake pedal, the
electric motor operates as a generator.
Electric current is produced and stored
in the high-voltage battery. As long as
the high-voltage battery is being
charged, the electric motor simulates an
engine brake.
When the pointer of power gauge 0003is in
the "OFF “position, the vehicle is not ready
to drive, because:
R the drive system has not been started
R the gear selector lever has not been
moved to position Nor Pwhen starting
the drive system R
the charging cable is connected to the
vehicle
R there is not enough power from the high-
voltage battery
R a problem occured in the high-voltage
system
After the drive system has been started, the
pointer of power gauge 0003moves to
position 0.READY appears in the
multifunction display (Y page 82). The

G
WARNING
When the indicator for the maximum
available power is not at its maximal
range, the power output is reduced
noticeably. Adapt your speed and driving
accordingly. Otherwise, you could cause an
accident. Exercise particular care when
passing or accelerating. The indicator for the maximum available
power of the drive system contains three
segments
0002. The number of dark segments
indicates power that is currently
available.
R Three segments: maximum power is
available.
R Two segments: Less than 66 % amount of
power is available.
R One segment: Less than 33 % amount of
power is available.
Under normal operating conditions the
indicator for the maximum power is at the
maximum range 0002.
The available amount of power can vary
from the the maximum range due to:
R very high or low outside temperatures
R very high power demand over along time
period
R very low charge level of the high-voltage
battery 82
Control system>> Controls.

By charging the high-voltage battery, the
reduced availability of power can be
improved (Y page 112). ECO indicator
ECO indicator
0002helps you to optimize
your driving style. The energy consumption
of your vehicle can be reduced and the
cruising range can be increased.
The calculated ECO value in percent
indicates if and how your driving style
differs from an ideal driving style (100 %).
This to provide you feedback to:
R your driving style when accelerating and
coasting
R the uniformity of your driving style
After aprolonged standstill of the vehicle,
ECO indicator display 0002always starts at
a value of 50 %.
The ECO-value is displayed:
R while driving
R if the key is in starter switch position
