MAIN SCREEN
The main screen shows the following information:
A. Driving assistance and active safety system notifications B. High-voltage battery charge level and range C. Failure icons D. External temperature E. Multifunctional dial indicator and driving assistance system notifications F. Compass (where provided) G. Speedometer H. Odometer I. Amber notification or failure indication icons L. Energy management M. Gear engaged notifications, headlight alignment and SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) N. TSR and ISA system indication (where provided) O.

A – Driving assistance and active safety system notifications
This position displays the status icons of the various functions (where provided), such as ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), AEB Control
(Autonomous Emergency Brake Control) or Lane Control, active safety systems, such as ESC (Electronic Stability Control), TSR (Traffic Sign Recognition) and ISA (Intelligent Speed Assist) and thumbnails of the driving aid systems. Refer to the “Starting and Driving” section for more information about driving assistance systems. Refer to the “Safety” section for more information about active safety devices.
B – High-voltage battery charge state of charge and range
In this position the state of charge of the high-voltage battery is indicated by a percentage and a vertical bar of height proportional to the state of charge of the battery (A). Both indications are coloured according to the state of charge:
- range greater than 24 km: blue range between 24 km and 16 km: yellow
- range lower than 16 km: red When charging via a power socket, the vertical bar is coloured green and the
symbols and 
appear. The height of the vertical bar is proportional to the state of charge of the battery. The estimated remaining range is indicated by a numerical value (in km or miles, depending on the display settings) and an indicator that indicates any changes in expected range: - by means of an up
arrow and a blue bar if the current driving style increases the range; - by means of a down
arrow and a red bar if the current driving style decreases the range.
In case the driving style does not change the range, no graphic signals are displayed. C – Failure icons All failure icons are displayed in this position. In case of multiple failures, the display will be in succession. D – External temperature The external temperature is displayed in °C or °F depending on the display settings.
E – Multifunctional dial indicator and driving assistance system notifications
The shows the current speed and (B) whether one of the speed control systems (Cruise Control, Adaptive Cruise Control, Traffic Sign Recognition and Intelligent Speed Assist) is active. The round bar (A) also provides visual signals for particular states of the selected speed control system. Refer to the “Starting and Driving” section for more information about driving assistance systems.
Pressing and releasing the controls on the steering wheel 
will open an alternative display that indicates the driving mode instead of speed. The driving style is indicated in real-time by a cursor that can be positioned in the following areas :
- “CHARGE”: regeneration mode.
- “ECO”: energy-saving driving.
- “POWER”: more energy-efficient performance driving.
F – “Compass (where provided)
For versions with Uconnect™ system with integrated navigator, in position the direction the car is travelling in is shown in real-time.
G – Speedometer
The instantaneous speed of the car (in km/h or mph) is displayed in this position, which can also be displayed at the top of the display.
H – Odometer
Kilometres or miles travelled
(depending on the display settings) are displayed in position (H) fig. 90.
I – Amber notification or failure indication icons
The amber notification icons (e.g. brake pedal pressure request) or failure signal icons are displayed in succession (in case of several notifications) in position .
L – Energy management
Through the display customisation functions (see “Settings” paragraph), the energy management can be displayed on the graduated scale (L) :
- “POWER”: the left side of the indicator turns orange in proportion to the power required by the electric motor.
- “CHARGE”: the right side of the indicator turns turquoise in proportion to the amount of regeneration of the high-voltage battery.
- “ECO”: the indicator turns orange and turquoise to indicate energy-saving driving.
M – Gear engaged notifications, headlight alignment and SBR (Seat Belt Reminder)
In position (M) the following information is displayed:
- driving mode (“NORMAL”, “RANGE”, “SHERPA”);
- gear engaged (D, N, R, P);
- headlight alignment;
- electrical system readiness at start-up (“READY”) warning;
- SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system notifications. Refer to the “SBR system” chapter in the “Safety” section for more information.
N – TSR and ISA system indication (where provided)
Traffic Signal Recognition (TSR) speed limit alerts set on the Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA) system are shown in position (N).
O – Cruise Control / Adaptive Cruise Control / Speed Limiter
/ Intelligent Speed Assist target speed setting (where provided)
The desired speed signal, set on Cruise Control, Adaptive Cruise Control, Speed Limiter and Intelligent Speed Assist systems is displayed in position (O).
Notifications bar
The lower part of the display is reconfigurable via the display menu. The following information can be displayed on the left hand side: external temperature (default setting), time, date, compass (where provided) and car speed repeat (where provided).
In the centre zone: odometer (default setting), Audio information (where provided), Phone information (where provided), time, external temperature, date, compass (where provided) and car speed repetition (where provided). On the right side: time (default setting), odometer, external temperature, date, compass (where provided), car status (ON, OFF, RUN).
