Vehicle features and options  
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐  
cific and optional features offered with the series.  
It also describes features that are not necessarily  
available in your vehicle, for instance, due to the  
Instrument cluster  
Concept  
The instrument cluster is a variable display.  
Some of the displays in the instrument cluster  
may differ from the way they are shown in this  
Owner's Manual.  
When you change to a different program via Driv‐  
ing Dynamics Control or activate the Sport pro‐  
gram, the display rendition adapts to the respec‐  
tive program.

driving style that saves on consumption with  
more prominent representation of the efficiency  
display and various ECO PRO tips.  
In the Sport program, the instrument cluster  
switches the instrument cluster to the Sport dis‐  
plays. These displays support a sporty driving  
style with more prominent representation of the  
tachometer and a clearer representation of the  
eBOOST performance in the form of a blue illu‐  
minated ring.

In COMFORT and ECO PRO driving mode, the  
power output of the electric motor and the inter‐  
nal combustion engine is indicated by a white  
mark, arrow 3.  
In ECO PRO mode, the range for efficient driving  
style is colored blue, arrow 4.  
Warning  
For further information, refer to Electric driving:  
ePOWER.  
Even when it is indicated that the high-voltage  
battery is discharged, the high-voltage system  
is always still under high voltage. There is a risk  
of fire or a risk of injury. Do not touch or change  
live parts, for instance orange high-voltage ca‐  
bles, even when the batteries are discharged.

Energy recovery: CHARGE  
Maintaining the charge state  
The energy recovered is indicated in the COM‐  
FORT and ECO PRO modes by four bars in the  
CHARGE range. The high-voltage battery is  
charged. The amount of energy that can be re‐  
covered varies depending on the available output  
of the high-voltage battery. If the high-voltage  
battery is completely charged, no energy can be  
recovered. The four bars are grayed-out.  
In the maintaining charge state mode, the ar‐  
row indicates the high-voltage battery charge  
state that is being conserved for a later stage in  
the trip.  
▷ Gray arrow: maintaining charge state mode  
deactivated.  
▷ Orange arrow: maintaining charge state mode  
activated.  
For further information, please refer to Energy re‐  
covery CHARGE, refer to page 98.
