Hybrid gauge

In Hybrid and Pure drive modes, the instrument panel will display a hybrid gauge, which can help the driver achieve optimal driving economy.
P5-1717-ALL hybrid-Hybrid meter changed values

The hybrid gauge shows the ratio between the electric motor's current power consumption and the remaining available power. This information is shown in various ways.

Symbols in the hybrid gauge

P5- 15w19-XC90H - torque bolt -DIM

Indicates the current available power from the electric motor. A solid symbol indicates that the electric motor is being used.

P5-15w19 - XC90H torque bolt outline

A hollow symbol indicates that the electric motor is not being used.

P5- 15w19-XC90H - torque drop - DIM

Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine starts. A solid symbol indicates that the internal combustion engine is being used.

P5-15w19 - XC90H Torque drop outline

Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine will start. A hollow symbol indicates that the internal combustion engine is not being used.

P5- 15w19-XC90H - battery - electrick engine charging - DIM

Indicates that the hybrid battery is being charged, e.g. by lightly pressing the brake pedal.

Driver-requested power

The hybrid gauge displays the amount of power requested (utilized) by the driver through pressure on the accelerator pedal. The higher the reading on the scale, the more power utilized in the current gear. The mark between the lightning symbol and the drop symbol indicates the point at which the electric motor will switch off and the internal combustion engine will take over.

For example:

P5-1717-ALL hybrid-Hybrid meter changed values
The vehicle has been started, but is stationary and no power is being requested.
P5-1717-ALL hybrid-Hybrid meter engine running change values
The electric motor cannot supply the requested power and the internal combustion engine will start.
P5-1717-ALL hybrid-Hybrid meter charging change values
The vehicle is generating current to recharge the battery, e.g. during light braking or engine braking on a downslope.
