Available power
Fig. 1 In the instrument cluster: available power.
Available power display
Key to Fig. 1 :
A
Maximum electric drive power availability. High power availability is required, for example,
to accelerate the vehicle quickly to overtake safely.
B
C
Maximum electric drive power no longer available →
.
Currently available drive power very limited. The indicator lamp lights up in the
instrument cluster.
The current power availability in the electric drive is displayed in the instrument cluster while you
are driving → Fig. 1 .
The limited power availability can be dependent on driving characteristics, e.g. rapid
acceleration. The power availability is also generally limited under the following conditions:
—Very cold or very hot high-voltage battery temperatures.
—Low high-voltage battery charge level.
When the charge level of the high-voltage battery approaches the reserve range, the maximum
possible driving speed will be reduced in addition to the available power. Charge the high-
voltage battery as soon as possible.
WARNING
Driving when the charge level of the high-voltage battery is too low can lead to the vehicle
battery discharging when in traffic, and can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
●
Always make sure that the high-voltage battery is sufficiently charged.
