Important safety notes

G
WARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi-
cle when driving, you may be distracted from
the traffic situation. You could also lose con-
trol of the vehicle. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Only operate this equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the
country in which you are currently driving when
operating the on-board computer.
G
WARNING
If the instrument cluster has failed or mal-
functioned, you may not recognize function
restrictions in systems relevant to safety. The
operating safety of your vehicle may be
impaired. There is a risk of an accident.
Pull over as soon as it is safe to do so and
consult a qualified specialist workshop.
The on-board computer only shows messages or
warnings from certain systems in the multifunc-
tion display. You should therefore make sure
your vehicle is operating safely at all times.
For an overview, see the instrument panel illus-
tration ( page 9).

Displays and operation
Electric motor performance display
The power display for the electric motor is loca-
ted on the right-hand side of the instrument
cluster.
Area : to ; (E-DRIVE):
R
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 (

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
