The battery range indicator on the dashboard of a Cupra Formentor is shown on the digital instrument panel. It includes a power meter bar that displays the current usage level of the electric drive and a battery level indicator. A small arrow next to the battery symbol also shows which side of the vehicle the charging cover is on.

Do you have a question about the Formentor and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
where on the dash do I find how many miles my car will do on the battery before it needs charging
The battery range indicator on the dashboard of a Cupra Formentor is shown on the digital instrument panel. It includes a power meter bar that displays the current usage level of the electric drive and a battery level indicator. A small arrow next to the battery symbol also shows which side of the vehicle the charging cover is on.
