Safety information
Warning
Even at temperatures above +37 ℉/+3 ℃
there can be a risk of icy roads, for instance on
bridges or shady sections of the road. There is

Range
Concept
The range indicates the distance that can still be
covered with the current fuel level and the elec‐
tric energy of the high-voltage battery.
General information
The range can be displayed as the range for
electric driving or as the total range. The total
range considers the contents of the fuel tank as
well as the electric energy in the high-voltage
battery. If the requirements for electric driving are
not met, the total range considers the content of
the fuel tank only.
Various factors, such as the automatic climate
control settings, are taken into account when cal‐
culating the electric range. The electric range
value is adapted dynamically.
The following factors are taken into account
when calculating the range:
▷ Automatic climate control settings.
▷ Driving style.
▷ Climate conditions.
With a low remaining total range, a Check Con‐
trol message is briefly displayed. With a dynamic
driving style, for instance fast cornering, the en‐
gine function is not always ensured.
The Check Control message appears continu‐
ously below a range of approx. 30 miles/50 km.
