Hybrid gauge

In Hybrid drive mode, the instrument panel will display a hybrid gauge, which can help the driver achieve more efficient driving economy.
PS-1926-ALL hybrid-Hybrid meter changed values

The hybrid gauge shows the ratio between the electric motors' current power consumption and the remaining available power. This information is shown in various ways.

Symbols in the hybrid gauge

PS-1926-Torque bolt symbol

Indicates the current available power from the electric motor. A solid symbol indicates that the electric motors are being used.

PS-1926-Torque bolt symbol outline

An outlined symbol indicates that the electric motors are not being used.

PS-1926-Torque drop symbol

Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine starts. A solid symbol indicates that the internal combustion engine is being used.

PS-1926-Torque drop symbol outline

Indicates the power level when the internal combustion engine will start. A hollow symbol indicates that the internal combustion engine is not being used.

PS-1926-Battery, electric engine charging symbol

Indicates that the hybrid battery is being charged, e.g. by lightly pressing the brake pedal.

Driver-requested power

The hybrid gauge displays the amount of power requested (utilized) by the driver through pressure on the accelerator pedal. The higher the reading on the scale, the more power utilized in the current gear. The mark between the lightning symbol and the drop symbol indicates the point at which the combustion engine will start.

For example:

PS-1926-ALL hybrid-Hybrid meter changed values
The vehicle has been started, but is stationary and no power is being requested.
PS-1926-ALL hybrid-Hybrid meter engine running change values
The electric motor cannot supply the requested power and the internal combustion engine will start.
PS-1926-ALL hybrid-Hybrid meter charging change values
The vehicle is generating current to recharge the battery, e.g. during light braking or engine braking on a downslope.
