Driver information area display modes
While driving, there are two display modes you can choose from: calm and surround.
Calm | This displays essential information, such as speed, battery level and range, as well as warning and indicator symbols. |
Surround | In this mode, you can see a depiction of the car, its positioning on the road and other vehicles. The same essential information as calm mode is also displayed. |
Important
Using surround mode
Surround mode cannot perfectly depict what is really happening on the road around you, so do not rely on it when you are driving.
