The power meter, for instance, replaces the analogue speedometer display and provides the driver with information by showing the power called off from the hybrid system and its energy regeneration performance. The vehicle's speed is shown digitally in the central round instrument panel's display.

The power meter visualises the power threshold at which the internal combustion engine is activated. In combination with the accelerator pedal characteristics and the noticeable pressure point at this threshold, the driver is better able to manage electric driving, receiving both visual feedback and a response that can be felt. The power meter also shows the driver other useful information: for example, that the system is ready when the ignition is switched on ('Ready' indicator), an efficient or particularly sporty driving range ('Efficiency' or 'Boost' range) and the internal combustion engine's activation point for boosting the power output.

In order to provide a constant view of the plug-in hybrid drive system's two power reserves, the fuel tank indicator has been supplemented by an analogue indicator of the battery charge status. In addition, the electric range is shown by a TFT display. The calculation takes into account both the electric range in E-Power mode based on the battery's charge level and the remaining hybrid range based on the amount of fuel in the tank. The two residual ranges are indicated separately.

By kick down, the full system power can be utilised at any time in order, for instance, to overtake a vehicle in front. In such situations the E-Power mode remains enabled in the background and facilitates all-electric driving whenever the acceleration is again more moderate and the vehicle is not exceeding the electric top speed.
