Volkswagen ID.4: Charge status and range in the digital instrument cluster

Charge status display

Fig. 1 In the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit: The high-voltage battery charge level 1 and vehicle range 2 (general example).

The current battery charge level of the high-voltage battery is shown by the symbol with a percentage value in the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit → fig. 1 -1-. The battery level on the symbol changes with the charge status.

Range display

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

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.

Reserve range

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

Warning levels for the reserve range :

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.
