WARNING
Any distraction affecting the driver in any
way can lead to an accident and cause inju-
ries.
•
Operating the digital instrument cluster
can distract your attention from the traffic.
•
Always drive as carefully and responsibly as
possible.
Battery state of charge and range
on the digital instrument cluster
Fig. 25
On the digital instrument cluster:
range and reserve indication.
Battery state of charge indication
The current state of charge of the high-voltage
battery is indicated by the symbol on the
digital instrument cluster
1
. The
battery symbol will be more or less full depend-
ing on the state of charge of the battery.
Range indication
The vehicle range is displayed in kilometres
(km) or miles (mi) depending on the selected
setting
2
.
The displayed value is calculated and updated
based on the driving style and ambient con-
ditions. Hence, the autonomy may vary even
with the high-voltage battery fully charged.
Remaining battery charge time indicator
During an active charging process, the remain-
ing charging time to the desired state of charge
is displayed on the instrument cluster. This in-
formation is only displayed if the ignition is off
(by pressing the
button).
Reserve area
Battery state of charge, percentage charge
and range
Reserve indication (warning level 1), per-
centage charge and range
Reserve indication (warning level 2), per-
centage charge and range
Reserve area warning levels:
The battery state of charge is lower
than 20 %.
The battery state of charge is lower than
10 %.
Charge the high-voltage battery as soon as
possible to prevent the vehicle from stopping
.
WARNING
If the vehicle is driven with a very low a
charge level of the high-voltage battery, the
vehicle may stall in traffic, causing serious
damage or accidents and injuries.
•
Always ensure that the charge level of the
high-voltage battery is sufficient!
WARNING
When the high-voltage battery charge level
reaches the reserve level, it is possible that
certain driving properties may vary, i.e. the
acceleration behaviour of the vehicle.
•
Always adapt the speed and driving style
to the conditions of visibility, weather, road
and traffic, as well as the charge level of the
high-voltage battery.
NOTICE
The self-discharge of the high-voltage bat-
tery, for example due to the vehicle being
parked for several months, can cause dam-
age to the battery in the event of high ambi-
ent temperature and the battery having a low
charge level.
•
Always ensure that the charge level of the
high-voltage battery is sufficient!
