Displays of the hybrid
system
Displays in the instrument cluster
The concept The following functions of the hybrid system
are displayed:
▷High-voltage battery charge indicator, refer
to page 82.▷Electric driving: eDRIVE.▷Acceleration boost: eBOOST, refer to
page 83.▷Energy recovery: CHARGE, refer to
page 83.▷Drive readiness: READY, refer to
page 82.
The display depends on the system's operat‐
ing condition.
Note High voltage
Even if no bars are displayed in the bat‐
tery symbol, the high-voltage system is still under high voltage.◀
High-voltage battery charge indicator
When drive readiness is switched on in COM‐
FORT mode, displays the available charge of
the high-voltage battery with bars in a battery
symbol. If five bars are shown, the high-voltage
battery is fully charged.
During normal vehicle operation, the high-volt‐
age battery is charged up to approx. 80 %.
This ensures optimum energy recovery when
braking or driving downhill.
Drive readiness: READY READY indicates drive readi‐
ness. For further information,
please refer to Drive readiness
in detail, refer to page 69.
Electric driving: eDRIVE
When driving in COMFORT or ECO PRO
modes, the power output of the electric motor
is indicated by arrows on the instrument clus‐
ter.
Depending on the position of the accelerator
pedal, up to four arrows are displayed simulta‐
