Power utilized by the driver
The indicator shows the amount of power utilized (requested) by the driver through pressure on theaccelerator pedal. The higher the reading on thescale, the greater the amount of power utilized inthe current gear. The mark between the "light-ning" and "drop" symbols is the point at whichthe electric motor switches off and the gasolineengine starts.
Examples
The vehicle has started but is stationary and no power is being utilized.
The electric motor alone cannot provide the power requested and the gasoline engine willstart.
The vehicle is generating current to recharge the battery, e.g., during moderate braking or duringengine braking on a downslope.
The Save drive mode
The Save drive mode is activated. The battery's charge level is locked at the level it was at whenthis drive mode was activated, which is shown by the
symbol near the battery indicator. The
control system maintains this charge level by using the gasoline engine intermittently (in thesame way as in the Hybrid drive mode). If thehybrid battery's charge level was below 33%when Save was activated, the gasoline engine willbe used to charge the hybrid battery up to thislevel.

C is again displayed in the mirror
or hold the button on the underside of mirror for approx. 6 seconds until
C is displayed in
the mirror.
6. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no more than 6 mph (10 km/h) until a direction is dis- played. This indicates that calibration is com-plete. Drive around in a circle an additionaltwo times to fine-tune the calibration.
7. Vehicles with an electrically heated wind- shield: * if
C is displayed when the heating
function is activated, perform step 6 with the heating function on. 8. Repeat the calibration procedure if neces-
sary.

Active high beamsThe active high beam system uses a camera at the upper edge of the windshield to detect theheadlights of oncoming vehicles or the taillightsof a vehicle directly ahead. When this happens,the headlights will automatically switch from highbeams to low beams. When the camera no longer detects the head- lights/taillights of other vehicles, your headlightswill switch back to high beams after several sec-onds.

Operation
Activate/deactivate this function by turning the ring on the left-side steering wheel lever to
.
If the ring is not in this position, toggling between high and low beams must be done manually. If the ring is turned to another position while the high beams are on, the headlights will automati-cally switch to low beams. A white symbol (
) in the instrument panel
indicates that the function has been activated. When the high beams are on, the symbol will change to blue.
NOTE
•Keep the windshield in front of the cam- era free of ice, snow, dirt, etc.
• Do not mount or in any way attach any-thing on the windshield that couldobstruct the camera.
If a message is displayed in the instrument panel saying that active high beams are temporarilyunavailable, switching between high and lowbeams will have to be done manually. However, the light switch can remain in the
position.
The same applies if a message saying that the windshield sensors are blocked and the
symbol are displayed. The symbol will go
out if this happens. Automatic high beams may be temporarily unavailable (e.g., in heavy fog or rain). When thesystem becomes active again or if the sensors inthe windshield are no longer obscured, the mes- sages will disappear and the
symbol will
illuminate.
WARNING
• Automatic high beams are a driving aid designed to help provide the best possi-ble headlight illumination in good drivingconditions.
• The driver is always responsible for man-ually toggling between high and lowbeams when this is required by traffic orweather conditions.
CAUTION
In the following situations, it may be neces- sary to switch between high and low beamsmanually:
• In heavy fog or rain
• In blowing snow or slush
• In bright moonlight
• In freezing rain
• In areas with dim street lighting
• When oncoming vehicles have dim front lighting
• If there are pedestrians on or near theroad
• If there are reflective objects, such assigns, near the road
• When oncoming vehicles' lights areobscured by e.g., fences, bushes, etc.
• When there are vehicles on connectingroads
• At the top of hills or in dips in the road
• In sharp curves
Auxiliary lights
*If the vehicle is equipped with auxiliary lights, the driver can use the center display to activate/deactivate them or decide if they will go on/off along with the high beams 11
