General information
The following functions of the hybrid system are
displayed:
Drive-ready state: READY
READY indicates drive-ready
state. For further information,
please refer to Drive-ready state
in detail, refer to page 94.
▷ High-voltage battery charge indicator, refer to
page 112.
▷ Drive-ready state: READY, refer to page 112.
▷ Electric driving: ePOWER, refer to page 112.
▷ Energy recovery: CHARGE, refer to
page 113.
Electric driving: ePOWER
▷ Acceleration boost: eBOOST, refer to
page 113.
▷ Electric driving: MAX eDRIVE, refer to
page 97
▷ Maintaining the charge state, refer to
page 113.
The display depends on the system's operating
condition.
The inner narrow blue stripe, arrow 1, indicates
the range for electric driving.
High-voltage battery charge indicator
If a white mark is located in the range after the
stripe, arrow 2, the combustion engine is also
switched on.
In COMFORT and ECO PRO driving mode, the
power output of the electric motor and the inter‐
nal combustion engine is indicated by a white
mark, arrow 3.
In ECO PRO mode, the range for efficient driving
style is colored blue, arrow 4.
Warning
For further information, refer to Electric driving:
ePOWER.
Even when it is indicated that the high-voltage
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, for instance orange high-voltage ca‐
bles, even when the batteries are discharged.

Energy recovery: CHARGE
Maintaining the charge state
The energy recovered is indicated in the COM‐
FORT and ECO PRO modes by four bars in the
CHARGE range. The high-voltage battery is
charged. The amount of energy that can be re‐
covered varies depending on the available output
of the high-voltage battery. If the high-voltage
battery is completely charged, no energy can be
recovered. The four bars are grayed-out.
In the maintaining charge state mode, the ar‐
row indicates the high-voltage battery charge
state that is being conserved for a later stage in
the trip.
▷ Gray arrow: maintaining charge state mode
deactivated.
▷ Orange arrow: maintaining charge state mode
activated.
For further information, please refer to Energy re‐
covery CHARGE, refer to page 98.
For activating/deactivating the maintaining
charge state mode, refer to page 96.
Acceleration boost: eBOOST
Indications on the Control Display
Displaying the hybrid system utilization
Via iDrive:

2. "Technology in action"
3. "eDRIVE"

Select the symbol.
Five bars indicate the available output of the
electric motor for the eBOOST, refer to page 57,
acceleration boost. The amount of eBOOST
available varies depending on the available out‐
put of the high-voltage battery. If the high-volt‐
age battery is completely discharged, all five bars
are grayed-out.

Bars show the average consumption over a spe‐
cific period of time, arrow 1.
▷ System requirements of the hybrid system,
for instance drive system not yet warmed up
to operating temperature.
One bar indicates one minute.
▷ Driver request, for instance transmission se‐
lector lever in the Sport position.
The average consumption of the combustion en‐
gine is indicated by a line and a value above the
bar display, arrow 2. The indicated value is identi‐
cal to the average consumption in the Onboard
Computer and can be reset via the Onboard
Computer.
Adapting to the course of the road
Concept
When the navigation system destination guid‐
ance is active, hybrid operation adapts to specific
route sections.
Displaying the energy flow
Via iDrive:
The hybrid system is used to optimum effect.

tions ahead are detected, indicated on the Con‐
trol Display, and the hybrid drive is prepared for
them.
2. "Technology in action"
3. "eDRIVE"
4.
Select the symbol.
The function may be restricted if the navigation
data is invalid, outdated or not available, for ex‐
ample.
