Drivers display explanation

[Pete-T]

I've just bought an xc40 mild hybrid but can't find any information to explain the driver display dials.

ie: why does the right hand dial have "ready" printed on it?
whats the significance of the way the dial keeps scrolling up, down and over to 3 oclock?
whats the teardrop icon at 12 oclock?
what is the scale below the "ready" icon for?

Would appreciate any clarity from more seasoned owners.

Thanks
Pete

As a fellow XC40 mild hybrid owner, I think a photo would really help on this occasion.

Sounds like it may be in ECO mode,have you tried changing the drive mode ?

You can switch it to a regular rev counter...

Mine's a T5 plug-in, so possibly different.

Needle pointing at "Ready" is to show that the car will actually move when you press the accelerator, despite the ICE engine not running (no revs).

The "teardrop" represents a fuel droplet - shows the point on the power gauge where the engine will start running. First part of the power gauge is running on battery, and shows power drawn from the battery, or being put back in by regeneration.

I agree that it's pretty confusing at first, but actually really useful once you get used to it.
Or, as already posted, you can switch the display to show a proper rev counter.
I've got mine set up to show the rev counter in hybrid/eco mode if I select "individual" drive mode.

That's interesting, different to the sensus mild hybrid display. One point however is the mild hybrid isn't capable of running on battery, its just used to start the engine and I believe help take the strain of rolling away.
