Instrument Cluster
Introduction to the topic
When you activate the vehicle’s drive system after the 12-volt vehicle battery has been totally discharged or replaced, system settings (e.g. personal convenience settings and programming) may have been changed or deleted. Check and correct the settings as necessary once the 12-volt vehicle battery has been sufficiently charged.
WARNING
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.
-
- Never operate the instrument cluster while the vehicle is in motion.
- Any settings for the instrument cluster display and displays in the Infotainment system should be made only when the vehicle is stationary in order to reduce the risk of accidents and serious injuries.

- Charge level and range.
- Reserve capacity warning level 1 and range.
- Reserve capacity warning level 2 and range.
Charge level display
The current charge level of the high-voltage battery is indicated by the symbol in the digital instrument cluster → Fig. 2 1 . The fill level of the battery symbol changes with the charge level.
Range display
The vehicle range is specified in kilometers (km) → Fig. 2 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
When the reserve range of the high-voltage battery is reached, the symbol is displayed together with a colour percentage value → Fig. 2 3 → .
Warning levels for the reserve range:
Yellow
The charge level is less than 20%.
Red
The charge level is less than 10 %. The remaining range is also always displayed. 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 standing 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.
