01 C30 ELECTRIC

Combined instrument panel

The following instruments differ from those in

a fuel-driven car:

- Speedometer

Shows the speed of the car.

WARNING

The maximum permitted speed with this car

is 130 km/h. If this speed is exceeded, on a

steep downhill slope for example, then the

driver must reduce speed with the foot

brake.

- Power meter

Shows the electric motor's power output or

recharging to the batteries.

•

Left-hand scale (0-30) shows recharging to

the batteries.

•

Right-hand scale (0-40) shows the electric

motor's power output.

- Energy consumption

Shows how much current is drawn from the

batteries to consumers other than the drive

motor.

The fewer the functions used the lower the

consumption, which means good electricity

economy.

It is less desirable for the needle to point far out

to the left, as the potential driving distance from

the batteries would then be shorter.

Large power consumers in this connection are

e.g. heated seats/mirrors, heated rear window

and the climate control system during extreme

cooling/heating.

- Battery capacity

Shows the remaining power supply in the bat-

teries. It is equivalent to the "fuel gauge" in a

conventional car.
