Hybrid gauge

In drive mode Hybrid, the driver display shows a hybrid gauge that can help the driver to drive the car in a more energy-efficient way.
PS-1926-ALL hybrid-Hybrid meter changed values

The hybrid gauge shows in different ways the relationship between how much power is being taken from the electric motors and how much power is available.

Symbols in the hybrid gauge

PS-1926-Torque bolt symbol

Indicates current level for available electric motor power. If the symbol is filled in, it means that the electric motors are in use.

If the symbol is not filled in, it means that the electric motors are not in use.

PS-1926-Torque drop symbol

Indicates the power level when the combustion engine starts. If the symbol is filled in, it means that the combustion engine is in use.

PS-1926-Torque drop symbol outline

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.

PS-1926-Battery, electric engine charging symbol

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.

Example:

PS-1926-ALL hybrid-Hybrid meter changed values
The car is started but stationary, no power is requested.
PS-1926-ALL hybrid-Hybrid meter engine running change values
The electric motor cannot supply the amount of engine power requested and the internal combustion engine starts.
PS-1926-ALL hybrid-Hybrid meter charging change values
The car generates current to the battery, the battery is charged, e.g. when the brake pedal is pressed lightly or during engine braking down a hill.
