The energy flow is indicated by arrows. The
arrows have a different color depending on
the operating state: R Green: energy recuperation
R White: normal energy consumption
R Red: increased energy consumption

X Press the 9or: button to select
approximate range and current fuel con-
sumption.
The approximate range depends on the con-
dition of charge of the high-voltage battery
and your current driving style. If the high-volt- age battery condition of charge is low, the
display shows a vehicle being charged
instead of the approximate range.
The specified values for range depend on the
driving program selected and may vary as a
result of:
R higher and lower outside temperatures
R the style of driving
R activated electrical consumers 188

G WARNING
The braking performance of the electric motor using recuperative braking may be either reduced or not effective. If you do not make
an additional effort to apply the brake yourself, the braking effect may not be sufficient. If necessary, counteract the reduced regen-erative braking effect by applying the brake yourself.
The brake system continues to function normally, but without the functions listed above. The wheels could therefore lock if you
brake hard, for example.
The steerability and braking characteristics may be severely affec-
ted. The braking distance in an emergency braking situation can
increase.
If ESP ®

There is an increased risk of skidding and an accident.
