General information

The following functions of the hybrid system are

displayed:

Drive-ready state: READY

READY indicates drive-ready

state. For further information,

please refer to Drive-ready state

in detail, refer to page 94.

▷ High-voltage battery charge indicator, refer to

page 112.

▷ Drive-ready state: READY, refer to page 112.

▷ Electric driving: ePOWER, refer to page 112.

▷ Energy recovery: CHARGE, refer to

page 113.

Electric driving: ePOWER

▷ Acceleration boost: eBOOST, refer to

page 113.

▷ Electric driving: MAX eDRIVE, refer to

page 97

▷ Maintaining the charge state, refer to

page 113.

The display depends on the system's operating

condition.

The inner narrow blue stripe, arrow 1, indicates

the range for electric driving.

High-voltage battery charge indicator

If a white mark is located in the range after the

stripe, arrow 2, the combustion engine is also

switched on.

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.

For activating/deactivating the maintaining

charge state mode, refer to page 96.

Acceleration boost: eBOOST

Indications on the Control Display

Displaying the hybrid system utilization

Via iDrive:

1. "My Vehicle"

2. "Technology in action"

3. "eDRIVE"

Select the symbol.

Five bars indicate the available output of the

electric motor for the eBOOST, refer to page 57,

acceleration boost. The amount of eBOOST

available varies depending on the available out‐

put of the high-voltage battery. If the high-volt‐

age battery is completely discharged, all five bars

are grayed-out.

CONTROLS

Bars show the average consumption over a spe‐

cific period of time, arrow 1.

▷ System requirements of the hybrid system,

for instance drive system not yet warmed up

to operating temperature.

One bar indicates one minute.

▷ Driver request, for instance transmission se‐

lector lever in the Sport position.

The average consumption of the combustion en‐

gine is indicated by a line and a value above the

bar display, arrow 2. The indicated value is identi‐

cal to the average consumption in the Onboard

Computer and can be reset via the Onboard

Computer.

Adapting to the course of the road

Concept

When the navigation system destination guid‐

ance is active, hybrid operation adapts to specific

route sections.

Displaying the energy flow

Via iDrive:

The hybrid system is used to optimum effect.

1. "My Vehicle"

Situations which are already underway and situa‐

tions ahead are detected, indicated on the Con‐

trol Display, and the hybrid drive is prepared for

them.

2. "Technology in action"

3. "eDRIVE"

Select the symbol.

The function may be restricted if the navigation

data is invalid, outdated or not available, for ex‐

ample.
