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 nopower is being utilized.
The electric motor alone cannot provide thepower requested and the gasoline engine willstart.
The vehicle is generating current to recharge thebattery, e.g., during moderate braking or duringengine braking on a downslope.
The "Hold" and "Charge" functions
The "Hold" or "Charge" function is activated,
which is shown by the symbol near the bat-tery indicator. See also the article "Maintaining/increasing hybrid battery charge while driving" foradditional information.
