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.

80Instruments and controlsABS. The brake system remains
operational but without ABS
regulation.
Antilock brake system 3 157.
Sport mode
3 illuminates when Sport mode
is selected.
Sport mode 3 153.
Lane keep assist
a illuminates green or yellow, or
flashes yellow.
Illuminates green
The system is switched on and ready to operate.
Illuminates yellow
The system approaches a detected
lane marking without using the turn
light in that direction.
Flashes yellow The system recognises that the lane
is departed significantly.Lane keep assist 3 190.
Electronic Stability Control

n illuminates yellow.
The system is deactivated.
Electronic Stability Control 3 162.
Electronic Stability Control
and Traction Control system
b illuminates or flashes yellow.
Illuminates
A fault in the system is present.
Continued driving is possible. Driving
stability, however, may deteriorate
depending on road surface
conditions.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Flashes
The system is active and is working to assist the driver with directional
control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions.Electronic Stability Control 3 162.

Tyre pressure monitoring
system
w illuminates or flashes yellow.
Illuminates
Tyre pressure loss. Stop immediately
and check tyre pressure.
Flashes
Fault in system or tyre without
pressure sensor mounted (e.g. spare wheel). After 60 to 90 seconds the
control indicator illuminates
continuously. Consult a workshop.
Tyre pressure monitoring system 3 232.

148Driving and operatingAvoid shifting to N to coast. The
vehicle recovers energy while
coasting and braking in D or L.
Efficiency gauge in the instrument cluster
Driving efficiency gauge 3 74.
Drive mode and gear mode selection Use normal drive mode when
possible.
Sport mode provides more
responsive acceleration than normal
mode but can reduce energy
efficiency.
Use L in heavy stop‐and‐go traffic or
when travelling downhill. L requires
less brake pedal application and
provides a controlled, efficient way to slow the vehicle down.
Control of the vehicleCaution
Drive carefully whenever the road
has a steep incline or when driving over a ramp or bump, etc.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.
Use only floor mats, which fit properly and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver side.
Emergencies9 Warning
Damage to the high voltage
battery or high voltage system can create a risk of electric shock,
overheating, or fire. If the vehicle
is damaged from a moderate to
severe crash, flood, fire, or other
event, the vehicle should be
inspected as soon as possible by
a workshop. Until the vehicle has
been inspected, store it outside at
least 7.5 m from any structure or
anything that can burn.
Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in
Avoid making hard stops for the first 300 km.
Hard stops with new brake linings can
lead to premature wear. Follow this
breaking-in guideline every time you
get new brake linings. Following
break-in, vehicle speed and load can be gradually increased.
Power button
Electronic key must be inside the
vehicle.

Driving and operating153Electric vehicle
operation modes
Operation This vehicle is a purely electrically
driven vehicle. It always uses an
electric propulsion system to drive the
vehicle. Electricity is the vehicle's only source of energy.
Drive modes Sport modeSport mode provides more
responsive acceleration than normal
mode, but can reduce energy
efficiency. Use normal mode
whenever possible.
When the 3 indicator does not
illuminate, the vehicle is in normal
mode.
Press SPORT to select Sport mode.
Press SPORT again to return to
normal mode.
The 3 indicator will be
displayed in the instrument cluster
when Sport mode is selected.
Control indicator 3 80.
When Sport mode is active and the
vehicle is switched off, Sport mode
will still be active when the vehicle is switched on again.
Sport mode may be unavailable if the high voltage battery charge is too low.Electric drive unit
Operation The vehicle uses an electric drive unitwith a 1-gear transmission. The
selector lever is located on the centre
console between the seats.P:park position, wheels are locked, engage only when the vehicle is
