Electric motor power display
The electric motor power display is on the right-
hand side of the instrument cluster.

(E-DRIVE):
This shows the electric output from the elec-
tric motor, e.g. during electric operation or in
boost mode.
When the motor is switched on, the needle is
at limit
:
. With increasing pressure on the
accelerator pedal the needle moves from
:
to
;
.
Driving with the electric motor: when the
needle reaches limit
;
the combustion
engine is switched on. If the display
approaches limit
;
and you remove your foot
from the accelerator pedal, the needle drops
again. The combustion engine is not switched
on. At low speeds, you can thereby control the
electric operation usage so that you only drive
in electric mode.
Driving with the combustion engine: the
electric motor supports the combustion
engine by providing additional drive torque
(boost mode) until the needle reaches
limit
;
.
You can also select the operating mode of the
hybrid drive system (

(CHARGE):
This shows the recuperated energy which is
stored in the high-voltage battery as electrical
energy.
When the needle reaches limit
?
, the maxi-
mum recuperative braking power has been
reached. The mechanical brakes are activa-
ted.
