HYBRID INFORMATION IN THE DRIVER
DISPLAY
A number of symbols and animations are shown in the driver dis-
play 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 bat-
tery. 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 rather than a forecast for
the range and is adapted during the journey. No guaranteed
range on electrical operation 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 com-
bustion engine, electric motor or both simultaneously. During elec-
trical 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.
