Hybrid gauge
In drive modes Hybrid and Pure, the driver dis-
play shows a hybrid gauge that can help the
driver to drive the car in a more energy-efficient
way.
The hybrid gauge shows in different ways the
relationship between how much power is being
taken from the electric motor and how much
power is available.
Symbols in the hybrid gauge
Indicates current level for available
electric motor power. If the symbol is
filled in, it means that the electric
motor is in use.
If the symbol is not filled in, it means
that the electric motor is not in use.
Indicates the power level when the
combustion engine starts. If the symbol
is filled in, it means that the combus-
tion engine is in use.
Indicates the power level when the
internal combustion engine is due to
start. If the symbol is not filled in, it
means that the combustion engine is
not in use.
Indicator that shows that the hybrid
battery is being charged, e.g. if the
brake pedal is gently depressed.
Driver-requested power
The pointer in the hybrid gauge indicates the
amount of engine power requested by the driver
by regulating the accelerator pedal. The higher
the reading on the scale, the more power is
requested by the driver in the current gear. The
marking between the lightning bolt and the drop
indicates the transition point where the electric
motor stops working and the combustion engine
takes over.
Example:
The car is started but stationary, no power is requested.
The electric motor cannot supply the amount of engine
power requested and the internal combustion engine
starts.
