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
Indicates the current available power from the electric motor. A solid symbol indicates that the electric motor is being used.
A hollow symbol indicates that the electric motor is not being used.
Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine starts. A solid symbol indicates that the internal combustion engine is being used.
Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine will start. A hollow symbol indicates that the internal combustion engine is not being used.
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:
