Blue icon

[Woppie]

Hello,

I wonder if anybody did see the blue icon that appears next to the range indicator. It pops up just after the start and stays there till the end of the trip. It looks more like a snow flake, so to say. The manual didn't help me...

I think that indicates a cold battery. It may show reduced capacity or limit some functions like regen or maximum acceleration. It should go away (and capacity return) when the battery warms up.

I've seen that once on my car when it was cold weather. Stayed for a bit, then went away. As above, I'd say it has something to do with cold battery.

Yes that is a snowflake telling you that it is cold. You will see on the battery icon that you might have 90% charge but less% available. It will be a different color. When it warms this will all go away. You might have limited regen also.

Page 52 of the owner's manual (the Car Status section where it explains all of the icons):

Note: In cold weather, some of the stored energy in the Battery may not be available until the Battery warms up. When this happens, a portion of the Battery meter is blue and the driving distance value has a snowflake image next to it.

Perhaps the Dutch version of the owners manual neglects to mention this.
