Driving Mode Selection
Overview
The VW ID.4/5/6/Buzz features multiple driving mode selections:
• ECO - The maximum speed is 130 km/h and the power output and A/C is reduced by
approximately 30%
• Convenience - On average, all systems are balanced
• Sport - All systems are tuned for sporty characteristics
• Individual - All systems can be configured individually
Low Voltage Modes
The vehicle does not switch into ECO mode when the high-voltage battery is
discharged.
Instead, a yellow turtle is displayed in the dash panel insert and the power
output is reduced.
Yellow turtle (reserve mode):
• A yellow turtle lamp appears in the ID display and an acoustic warning sounds.
• Power output is reduced significantly, and may continue to be reduced.
• The convenience functions of the A/C are reduced to extend the range
Red turtle (absolute reserve mode):
• After starting, the temperature or charge level of the high-voltage battery is
too low.
Only movement up to 7 km/h is possible.
An emergency start of the vehicle can still be performed twice to allow movement
over a short distance.
The vehicle key must be in the center console compartment for an emergency
start.
When the charge level increases again, the warning lamp goes out.
During vehicle operation:
• If the charge level of the high-voltage battery is too low during operation,
the vehicle may stop operating.
Park the vehicle safely or drive to the next charging station if possible.
When the charge level increases again, the warning lamp goes out.
