Safety information  
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.  
Re-establishing the drive-ready state can help  
increase the range slightly, for instance to re-  
move the vehicle from a hazardous area.

General information  
The G-Meter indicates the forces that are ap-

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
