Electric driving: eDRIVE

During electric driving, the power output by the
electric motors is indicated by arrows:
Depending on the position of the accelerator
pedal, up to four arrows light up one after
another.
The tachometer pointer is in the READY posi-
tion.
If all four arrows have already lit up, when addi-
tional drive power is needed, e.g. for accelera-
tion, the combustion engine is switched on.

Assisted combustion engine: eBOOST

At the maximum output from the electric
motors, all four arrows light up simultaneously.

Energy recovery: CHARGE

The energy recovery is indicated in the tachom-
eter as an arrow with the + symbol: The high-
voltage battery is charged.

Fuel gauge

Fuel tank capacity: approx. 22.5 US gal/
85 liters. You will find information on refueling
on page

If the tilt of the vehicle varies for a longer period,
when you are driving in mountainous areas, for
example, the indicator may fluctuate slightly.

Reserve

After the reserve quantity has been reached, a
message briefly appears on the Control Display;
the remaining range is shown in the computer.
Below a range of approx. 30 miles/50 km, the
message remains on the Control Display.

Refuel as soon as possible once your
cruising range falls below 30 miles/

50 km, otherwise engine functions are not
ensured and damage can occur.
