X
E-CELL display : shows the available power
of the drive system.
Under normal operating conditions, E-CELL dis-
play : is in the maximum range.
The power output available may deviate from
the maximum range in the event of:
very high or low outside temperatures
R
very high performance requirements for a lon-
R
ger period of time
very low condition of charge of the high-volt-
R
age battery
a malfunction in the drive system
R
The reduced power output can be improved by
charging the high-voltage battery (

Power display

Power display : contains two areas:
Area above 0
R
Here, the current amount of power that the
drive system is feeding to the wheels is dis-
played.
Area below 0
R
Here, the vehicle's recuperative power in
overrun mode is displayed.

Displays and operation

If the needle for the power display is in the OFF
position, the vehicle is not ready to drive
because:
the drive system has not yet started
R
the charging cable is still connected to the
R
vehicle socket
there is insufficient power available from the
R
high-voltage battery
the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system is
R
malfunctioning
When the drive system is started, the needle in
the power display moves to position 0. The dis-
play Ready Ready appears in the lower multifunction
display. The vehicle is ready to drive.
The boost area for maximum acceleration can
be reached using kickdown (
The braking performance of the electric motor
using recuperative braking is, in some operating
modes, either reduced or not effective:
when the condition of charge of the high-volt-
R
age battery increases
if the high-voltage battery is not yet at a nor-
R
mal operating temperature
when driving close to the maximum speed
R
when the vehicle is almost stationary
R
in transmission position N
R
during and after ESP stability control
R
If necessary, counteract the reduced regenera-
tive braking effect by applying the brake your-
self.
Condition of charge display
Condition of charge display : shows the con-
dition of charge of the high-voltage battery.
The charge value is shown as a percentage in the
Energy Flow Energy Flow menu in the instrument cluster
( page 157).
