HYBRID INFORMATION IN THE DRIVER DISPLAY
A number of symbols and animations are shown in the driver display
depending on drive mode selected.
Electricity and fuel consumption are shown in the gauge on the right.
The consumption varies depending on driving style. When the thin
white pointer passes the white arrow at the top, the car is changed over
to the internal combustion engine. When the pointer is in the orange-
coloured zone, the battery is being charged, e.g. during braking.
Distance to empty battery
The indicator shows the approximate distance to empty battery.
The distance is affected by several factors, e.g. driving style,
speed and outside temperature, and may vary during the journey.
Normally you can expect a range of 20-40 km (12-25 miles). The
start value shown when the car is fully charged indicates an up-to
figure instead of a forecast for the range for electrical operation
and is adapted during the journey. No guaranteed range on elec-
tric power remains when the driver display shows "---".
Symbols in the driver display
An all-white symbol indicates whether the electric motor or the
engine is being used. A lightning bolt indicates electric motor, a
drop indicates internal combustion engine.
Indicates that the battery is being charged, e.g. during engine
braking.
The gauge shows how much energy is available in the battery for
the electric motor. The energy is also used for the climate control.

Starting and stopping the internal combustion engine
The car calculates the extent of the need to use the internal combus-
tion engine, electric motor or both simultaneously. During electrical
operation, the car may sometimes need to start the internal combustion
engine automatically due to external circumstances, e.g. in low outside
temperatures. The internal combustion engine always starts when the
hybrid battery reaches its lowest state of charge.
