Range display

The vehicle range is displayed in kilometers (km) or miles (mi), depending on the setting → fig. 1 (2) .

The range may vary even with a fully charged high-voltage battery. The value displayed can be calculated and updated according to various criteria:

Driving style.
Environmental conditions.
Selected route → Setting a 360º range display and Electric Vehicle Route Planner

Reserve range

Fig. 2 In the digital instrument cluster: range and reserve display (general example).

Battery charge level and range
Reserve display warning level 1 and range.
Reserve display warning level 2 and range.

Warning levels for the reserve range :

Green

The battery has a sufficient charge level → fig. 2 .

Yellow

The charge status is equal to 20% or less than 20% → fig. 2 .

Red

The charge status is equal to 10% or less than 10% → fig. 2 .

Charge the high-voltage battery as soon as possible to prevent vehicle breakdowns→ fig. 2 !

WARNING

Driving with the high-voltage battery low on charge could lead to breakdowns in road traffic, accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

Always ensure your high-voltage battery has a sufficient battery charge level.

WARNING

If the charge level of the high-voltage battery has reached the reserve charge level, the handling characteristics, e.g.

the acceleration behavior, of the vehicle may be altered. This can cause accidents and serious injuries.

Always adapt your speed and driving style to the current visual, weather, road, and traffic conditions, as well as the charge level of the high-voltage battery.
Always ensure your high-voltage battery has a sufficient battery charge level.

NOTICE

Self-discharging of the high-voltage battery, for example due to a long stationary period of several months, may damage the high-voltage battery in high ambient temperatures and with a low battery charge level.

Always ensure your high-voltage battery has a sufficient battery charge level.

In very low outside temperatures, when the high-voltage battery is very cold, you may experience a limited range for electric driving.

Power display

Fig. 1 In the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit: Power display (general example).

During travel, the power display shows the current performance of the electric drivetrain and the current electric drive power or energy recuperation power.

Display concept

If the vehicle's drive system is activated, the indicator light lights up green in the instrument cluster.

Using a bar split down the middle, the power display always shows the availability of energy recuperation→ fig. 1 1 (green) to the left and forward motion → fig. 1 (2) (blue) to the right. If the respective bar is completely filled, there is unlimited availability. If there is any limitation, the fill level of the respective bar will reduce accordingly.

The current drive power is displayed dynamically using a lighter bar, either as recuperation power( light green) to the left or as propulsive power (light blue) to the right.

If the current drive power and the currently available performance are equal in size (bars filled to the same extent), the power limit of the electric drivetrain has been reached.

The power limit cannot be reached at all vehicle speeds.

Influencing factors

In additional to vehicle speed, the following influencing factors exist:

The availability of forward motion and energy recuperation depends on the battery charge level of the highvoltage battery. The energy recuperation can be limited if the battery charge level is high, as can the forward motion if the battery charge level is low.
The high-voltage battery being at a very low or very high temperature can lead to a decrease in the available drive power. This affects forward motion and energy recuperation.

WARNING

If the drive power of the electric drivetrain is reduced, the handling characteristics, e.g. the acceleration behavior, of the vehicle may be altered. This can cause accidents and serious injuries.

Always adjust your speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road, and traffic conditions, and to the battery charge level of the high-voltage battery.
Always ensure your high-voltage battery has a sufficient battery charge level.

Warning Levels of the Speed Warning

If the system detects that the maximum speed limit is exceeded, it will visually inform you on the instrument cluster display with a flashing speed limit recognized by the system and, depending on the settings, a warning tone. There are two warning levels for messages.

Fig. 1 In the instrument cluster display: detection of the maximum speed limit being exceeded (general example).

Speed warning - Level 1

The system has detected that the maximum speed limit has been exceeded.

The speed limit detected by the system flashes continuously in the instrument cluster and, depending on the vehicle equipment, in the head-up display → fig. 1 .

Speed warning - Level 2

The system has detected that the maximum speed limit is progressively being exceeded.

A warning tone sounds. The speed limit detected by the system flashes continuously in the instrument cluster and, depending on the vehicle equipment, in the head-up display → fig. 1 .

The second warning level is triggered if the speed limit continues to be increasingly exceeded.

The second warning level is canceled again if the driver actively reduces the speed.
