The range is continuously dis-  
played in the instrument cluster.  
General information  
If the indicator drops to +37℉/+3℃ or lower, a  
signal sounds.  
A Check Control message is displayed.  
There is an increased risk of ice on roads.  
Range with active guidance  
When the vehicle is stationary or at low speed,  
the temperature displayed may differ slightly  
from the actual outside temperature due to ex-  
ternal environmental influences.  
The icon is displayed next to the range  
when guidance was started in the navigation  
system. Information from the navigation sys-  
tem is taken into account for the calculation of  
the current range.  
Safety information  
Heavily discharged high-voltage  
battery  
Warning  
The high-voltage battery is  
heavily discharged. The drive  
power will be reduced. Heating  
and climate control functions will  
be deactivated.  
Even at temperatures above +37 ℉/+3 ℃  
there is a risk of icy roads, for instance on  
bridges or shady sections of the road. There  
is a risk of accident, injury, and property dam-  
age. Modify your driving style to the weather  
conditions at low temperatures.  
In this state, the exact range can no longer be  
calculated. A short range may still be available  
depending on the environmental condition.  
Charging screen  
Re-establishing the drive-ready state can help  
increase the range slightly, for instance to re-  
move the vehicle from a hazardous area.  
Principle  
The charging screen displays information  
about the charging process in the instrument  
cluster.  
State of charge in strong  
temperature fluctuations  
In the case of strong temperature fluctuations  
and a low state of charge of the high-voltage  
battery, it may not be possible to start the ve-  
hicle again at the beginning of the next trip.  
Recharge vehicle with a low state of charge in  
time.  
General information  
Some of the displays in the instrument cluster  
may differ from the illustrations in the Owner's  
Manual.  
When the vehicle is locked, the most important  
information is displayed for a short period of  
time.

the system, it cannot independently react to  
all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-  
dent, injury, and property damage. Adjust  
driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the  
surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready  
to take over steering and braking at any time,  
and actively intervene where appropriate.

Warning  
General information  
The G-Meter indicates the forces that are ap-  
plied in longitudinal and transverse direction  
on the vehicle occupants while driving.  
Even when it is indicated that the high-volt-  
age battery is discharged, the high-voltage  
system is always still under high voltage.  
There is a risk of fire or a risk of injury. Do  
not touch or change live parts, e.g., orange  
high-voltage cables, even when the batteries  
are discharged.  
The display can be configured on the central  
display range of the instrument cluster.  
The values are automatically reset whenever  
you start a new drive.

Overview  
When standby and drive-ready

Principle  
Possible range with very high energy con-  
sumption, arrow 4.  
The range prediction indicates the extent to  
which the range can be influenced with the  
current driving style. This supports an efficient  
driving style.  
Range prediction with active  
guidance  
With active guidance, the distance to the des-  
tination and the expected charge state of the  
high-voltage battery when the destination is  
reached are also displayed.  
General information  
The current range is influenced by many fac-  
tors, including speed.  
The range trend shows the expected develop-  
ment of the range with the current driving style.  
The range trend is based on the average elec-  
trical consumption that is calculated for the di-  
rectly traveled route section.
