For further information: Vehicle operating condition.

Range

General

The anticipated range for the energy stored in the high-voltage battery is permanently displayed in the instrument cluster.
Always ensure that the range is sufficient for the planned trip. The range is dynamic and may change abruptly.

The range can be reduced or increased based on the following factors:

• Driving style.
• Traffic conditions.
• Driving mode change.
• Climate and terrain conditions.
• Settings of the automatic air conditioning.
• After a route has been calculated by the navigation system, depending on the route profile, the route length and the selected speed.
• When leaving a route or recalculating a route.
• By pre-tempering the high-voltage battery for a DC charging process.

Information about the current range can be displayed in the instrument cluster. Check Control messages alert you when the range is low.

For further information:

• Range prediction.
• Increasing the range.

Display

• The range is continuously displayed in the instrument cluster.

Range with active route guidance

The icon is displayed next to the range when a route guidance was started in the navigation system. Information from the navigation system is taken into account for the calculation of the current range.

Heavily discharged high-voltage battery

• A high-voltage battery is heavily discharged. The drive power is reduced. Heating and air conditioning functions are disabled.
• In this state, an exact calculation of the range is no longer possible. A low range may be available depending on the environmental conditions.
• Re-activating the drive-ready state can help to increase the range slightly, for example, to move the vehicle from a dangerous area.

Charge state with widely fluctuating temperatures

If there are significant temperature fluctuations and the charge level of the high-voltage battery is low, it might no longer be possible to start the vehicle for the next trip. Recharge the vehicle in good time if the charge state is low.

Outside temperature

General

• If the display drops to +3 ℃, 37 ℉ or lower, a signal sounds.
• A Check Control message is shown.
• There is an increased risk of black ice.

Safety information

WARNING

Even at temperatures above +3 ℃, 37 ℉ there may be an increased risk of black ice, for example on bridges or on shaded sections of road. There is a risk of an accident. At low temperatures, adjust your driving style to the weather conditions.

Charging display

Principle

The charging screen displays information about the charging process in the instrument cluster.

General

• The displays in the instrument cluster can sometimes differ from the illustrations in the Owner’s Handbook.
• When the vehicle is locked, the most important information is displayed for a short period of time.

Display charging display again:

• With the charging cable plugged in, press the button on the vehicle key.
• The function is not available for the first 10 seconds after locking.
