Charge Level and Range in the Digital Instrument Cluster
Charge level display
In the digital instrument cluster: charge level of the high- voltage battery ① and vehicle range ②
The current charge level of the high- voltage battery is displayed in the digital instrument cluster by the symbol with a percentage value ① . The fill level of the battery symbol changes with the charge level.
Range display
The vehicle range is specified in kilometers (km) or miles (mi), depending on the setting ② .
The displayed value is calculated and updated depending on the driving style and ambient conditions. The range can therefore also vary even for a fully charged high- voltage battery.
Reserve range
In the digital instrument cluster: range and reserve capacity display
① Charge level and range. ② Reserve capacity warning level 1 and range. ③ Reserve capacity warning level 2 and range.
Warning levels for the reserve range
Yellow The charge level is less than 20\% .
Red The charge level is less than 10\% .
Charge the high- voltage battery as soon as possible to prevent the vehicle from breaking down.
WARNING
Driving when the charge level of the high- voltage battery is too low can lead to the vehicle breaking down when in traffic and can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
Always make sure the high- voltage battery has sufficient charge.
WARNING
When the charge level of the high- voltage battery reaches the reserve range, this may result in changed vehicle handling, e.g. different acceleration response of the vehicle.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions as well as the charge level of the high- voltage battery.
NOTICE
Self- discharge of the high- voltage battery, e.g. due to the vehicle parking for periods of several months, can lead to the high- voltage battery being damaged if ambient temperatures are high and the high- voltage battery has a low charge level.
Always make sure the high- voltage battery has sufficient charge.
The range for electric driving may be reduced at very low outside temperatures when the high- voltage battery is consequently very cold.
