Always adapt your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
Never rely solely on the outside temperature display.
Open doors, hood and trunk lid
If, after unlocking the vehicle and while driving, any doors and/or the hood or trunk lid are open, this is displayed in the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit and an audible
signal may also sound.
Speed warning for winter tires
If the set maximum speed is exceeded, this will be shown in the digital instrument cluster.
Settings for the speed warning can be adjusted in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system ⇒ Vehicle settings menu.
Odometer displays
The odometer registers the total distance that the vehicle has driven.
Range display
The approximate distance in kilometers which can still be driven with the remaining battery capacity, if driven in the same manner and with the same energy
consumption. The calculation is based on the current energy consumption.
Some displays in the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit may be hidden due to events that occur suddenly, e.g. speed warnings.
Depending on the equipment, some settings and displays may also appear in the Infotainment system.

Charge status and range in the digital instrument cluster
Charge status display

and vehicle range
(general example).
The current battery charge level of the high-voltage battery is shown by the
battery level on the symbol changes with the charge status.
symbol with a percentage value in the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit fig. 10 . The
Range display
The vehicle range is displayed in kilometers (km) or miles (mi), depending on the setting fig. 10
.
The value displayed is calculated and updated according to your driving style and the environmental conditions. Therefore, the range can vary even with a fully
charged high-voltage battery.

Red The charge status is equal to 10 % or less than 10 %. fig. 11.
:
Charge the high-voltage battery as soon as possible to prevent vehicle breakdowns fig. 11!
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
21
Fig. 12 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
Using a bar split down the middle, the power display always shows the availability of energy recuperation fig. 12
(green) to the left and forward motion fig. 12
(blue) to the right. If the respective bar reaches to the end marking, there is unlimited availability. If there is any restriction, the bar is shown as correspondingly
shortened.
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 current drive power and currently available performance are equal in size (bars equal in length), 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 high-voltage 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.
ID. Light
ID. Light is an intelligent lighting
concept that shows you further
information about your vehicle status.
When the vehicle's drive system is
activated and while driving, information
about the current driving situation is
displayed via the ID. Light.
The ID. Light shows information and warnings of the following systems and functions:
Locking and unlocking.
Entry and exit lighting.
Charging processes.
Voice operation.
Telephone calls.
Navigation
Reduced driving power.
Brief interruptions to operation.
Steering wheel contact detection.
