Outside temperature display
You should pay special attention to road con-
ditions when temperatures are around freez-
ing point.
Bear in mind that the outside temperature
display indicates the temperature measured
and does not record the road temperature.
The outside temperature display is in the mul-
tifunction display (
Y
page 176).
Changes in the outside temperature are dis-
played after a short delay.
E-CELL display
G WARNING
There is a risk of an accident if you accelerate
or overtake when the power output of the
drive system is reduced.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
and drive particularly carefully. Charge the
high-voltage battery at a charge station imme-
diately.

Y
page 127).
E-CELL display : shows the available
power of the drive system.
Under normal operating conditions, E-CELL
display : is in the maximum range.
The power output available may deviate from
the maximum range in the event of:
R
very high or low outside temperatures
R
very high performance requirements for a
longer period of time
R
very low condition of charge of the high-
voltage battery
R
a malfunction in the drive system
The reduced power output can be improved
by charging the high-voltage battery
(
Y
page 134).
Power display
Power display : contains two areas:
R
Area above 0
Here, the current amount of power that the
drive system is feeding to the wheels is dis-
played.
R
Area below 0
Here, the vehicle's recuperative power in
overrun mode is displayed.
If the needle for the power display is in the
OFF position, the vehicle is not ready to drive
because:
R
the drive system has not yet started
R
the charging cable is still connected to the
vehicle socket
R
there is insufficient power available from
the high-voltage battery
R
the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
is malfunctioning
When the drive system is started, the needle
in the power display moves to position 0. The
display Ready Ready appears in the lower multifunc-
tion display. The vehicle is ready to drive.
The boost area for maximum acceleration can
be reached using kickdown (
