To charge a mobile device:1. Remove all objects from the charging slot. The system may not
charge if there are any objects in
the charging slot.
2. With the mobile device screen facing the driver, slowly insert the
device into the charging slot until
0 is shown on the Info Display.
This indicates that the mobile
device is properly positioned and
could be charged.
If a device is inserted into the slot and
0 is not displayed, remove the mobile
device from the pocket, turn it 180°,
and wait 3 seconds before inserting the device into the slot again.

Reconfigurable instrument cluster
The cluster layout can be changed.
Use the steering wheel control to
move between the different display
zones and scroll through the different displays.
There are three display
configurations to choose from:
● Basic configuration displays the
speedometer with a simplified
high voltage battery gauge and
efficiency light.
● Standard configuration displays
the speedometer with a high
voltage battery gauge and
efficiency gauge.
● Enhanced configuration displays
the speedometer with high
voltage battery gauge, efficiency
ring, and power gauge.

74Instruments and controlsSpeedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
Odometer
The total recorded distance is
displayed in km.
Battery gauge
This displays the high voltage battery state of charge. The value in the
centre is an estimate of how far the
vehicle can be driven on the
remaining charge based on driving
habits and conditions learned over several days.
The maximum value is shown above
the display and the minimum value
below the display. The values
indicate the longest and shortest
possible range as estimated from
current vehicle conditions and climate
settings.
The mileage estimate and maximum
and minimum numbers are affected
by climate control system usage.
Estimated range may increase or
decrease based on changes in
climate control energy consumption.
A trend bar on the far left indicates
how recent driving habits, vehicle
conditions and climate settings are
affecting the range prediction.
When the high voltage battery state of charge is very low the estimated
range value in the centre will change
to Low . Maximum and minimum
ranges will no longer be displayed.
Additional alerts may display and a
sound may also be heard at low state
of charge.
Driving efficiency gaugeThis gauge is a guide to driving in an
efficient manner.
Driving economically 3 147.

Instruments and controls75Efficient drivingEfficient driving is indicated by:
● Basic layout: keeping the gauge and the leaf green.
● Standard layout: keeping the ball
green and in the centre of the
gauge.
● Enhanced layout: keeping the outer ring of the speedometer
green.
Inefficient acceleration
Inefficient acceleration is indicated
by:
● Basic layout: the gauge and the leaf turn yellow.
● Standard layout: the ball turns yellow and moves to the top end.
● Enhanced layout: the outer ring of the speedometer turns yellow
and the gauge moves to the top
end.
Aggressive braking
Aggressive braking is indicated by: ● Basic layout: the gauge and the leaf turn yellow.
● Standard layout: the ball turns yellow and moves to the bottom
end.
● Enhanced layout: the outer ring of the speedometer turns yellow
and the gauge moves to the
bottom end.

76Instruments and controlsPower indicator gauge
The power indicator gauge displays
the instantaneous charge and
discharge power flowing either into or out of the high voltage battery.
Maximum discharge power is
available when the high voltage
battery is fully charged. During normal
operation, a slight reduction in
discharge power may occur as the
high voltage battery state of charge
decreases.
Regenerative braking
There is an indication when
regenerative braking is active. If
regenerative braking is active, the regenerative active icon with arrowsis shown as green.
Regenerative power limited
indication
Regenerative power icon is shown as grey when regenerative power is
limited. Additionally, a horizontal bar
is displayed on the gauge. This
usually occurs when the high voltage
battery is near full charge or cold.
Regenerative braking 3 160.

Service display If it is time for service, a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
The first warning is displayed
400 km before service is due and the
second warning 80 km before the
service is due. The message appears every time the vehicle is switched on.
The message can be dismissed or
reset. Reset after service only.

description applies to all instrument
versions. Depending on the
equipment, the position of the control indicators may vary. When the vehicle
is switched on, most control indicators
will illuminate briefly as a functionality test.

When the vehicle is switched on, the
control indicator illuminates for
several seconds. If it does not
illuminate, does not go out after
4 seconds or illuminates whilst
driving, there is a fault in the airbag
system.
Seek the assistance of a workshop. The airbags and belt pretensioners
may fail to trigger in the event of an
accident.If there is a problem with the airbag
system, a Driver Information Centre
message may also come on.
Deployment of the belt pretensioners
or airbags is indicated by continuous
illumination of v.9 Warning
