Indicates the power level when the
internal combustion engine is due to
start. If the symbol is not filled in, it
means that the combustion engine is
not in use.
An indicator that denotes that the
hybrid battery is charging.
An indicator that shows the current
amount of available energy in the bat-
tery for the electric motor. The indicator
is shown by the hybrid battery gauge in
the lower right-hand corner.
eDTE (Electrical Distance To Empty)
indicator. Shows the current distance
to empty battery.
Hybrid gauge
Available electric motor power
There is a battery gauge located between the
hybrid gauge and the fuel gauge, in the lower
right-hand section of the instrument panel. The
gauge shows how much energy is left in the bat-
tery. This energy is used for the electric motor,
but also to cool or heat the car.
Driver-requested power
The pointer indicates the amount of engine
power requested by the driver by regulating the
accelerator pedal. The higher the reading on the
scale, the more power is requested by the driver
in the current gear. The marking between the
lightning bolt and the drop indicates the transi-
tion point where the electric motor stops working
and the combustion engine takes over.
Example
The car is started but stationary, no power is
requested.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
The electric motor cannot supply the amount of
engine power requested and the internal com-
bustion engine starts.
The car generates current to the battery, the bat-
tery is charged, e.g. when the brake pedal is
pressed lightly or during engine braking down a
hill.
