The hybrid gauge shows in different ways the relationship between how much power is being taken from the electric motor and how much power is available.
Symbols in the hybrid gauge
Indicates current level for available electric motor power. If the symbol is filled in, it means that the electric motor is in use.
If the symbol is not filled in, it means that the electric motor is not in use.
Indicates the power level when the combustion engine starts. If the symbol is filled in, it means that the combustion engine is in use.
Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine is due to start. If the symbol is not filled in, it means that the combustion engine is not in use.
Indicator that shows that the hybrid battery is being charged e.g. if the brake pedal is gently depressed.
Driver-requested power
The pointer in the hybrid gauge indicates the amount of engine power requested by the driver by regulating the accelerator pedal. The higher the reading on the scale, the more power is requested by the driver in the current gear. The marker between the lightning flash and the drop shows the point at which the internal combustion engine starts.
