3.2.2 Start menu
As described in section 3.2.1, when starting up, the start menu illustrated in the accom-
panying image appears. Explanation:
6 = approximate value of the distance in km, which can be covered at the preselected
assistance level (remaining range)
7 = indication of the current speed travelled
8 = assistance level selection (see section 3.2.4)
9 = set assistance level (see section 3.2.4)
10 = recuperation selection (see section 3.2.5)
11 = diverse varying information and warning indicators, see section 3.2.11
(shown here: remaining battery capacity)
12 = display of various travelling information (see section 3.2.10)
The letter “M” to set the menu functions in the left-hand lower third of the display, is
only visible when at rest. For safety reasons, different functions cannot be selected when
travelling.
All parameters that you change will be permanently stored and are available
each time you switch on the sMMI. The display of your Pedelec may therefore
differ from the illustration.
3.2.3 Dynamo function and start-up routine “light” (optional)
The neodrives motor is equipped with a dynamo function and supplies the headlight on
your Pedelec with power even if the battery is empty, not attached or defective. Thanks
to this function there is no need for any other standard bicycle dynamo on the front
wheel. In normal Pedelec mode the bicycle headlight is supplied with 36 volts from the
battery pack.
When switching on the bicycle lights, there is a certain sequence to follow due to
electronic scanning routines:
1. Switch on the Pedelec before switching on the lights.
Only then turn on the lights if the Pedelec shows ready to ride for about 3 seconds in
the display.
2. At the end of the journey the lights generally need to be switched off in order to run
through the correct start-up routine when switched on again.
If the Pedelec is switched on contrary to the routine described above with the light
switched on, a warning symbol will appear in the display. If this is the case switch the
Pedelec and the light off again and proceed as described above.
3.2.4 Selecting the assistance level
An assistance level that you wish to use (there are 5 possible levels) can be permanently
stored by your specialist dealer as part of a travel profile in the sMMI. This is instantly
available to you after switching on the sMMI and is shown in the sMMI display as a bar
element [9].
You can also manually change the level of assistance at any time using the controller
buttons [1] UP and [3] DOWN, whereby the number of individual white bar elements in
the field [8] increases or decreases according to the level of assistance you select.
When switching off the Pedelec, any changes made using the controller buttons are not
accounted for. In this respect, when restarting the Pedelec, only the assistance level
stored in the travel profile is available.
According to the selected assistance level, field [6] gives an indication of the distance
that can be travelled using motorised support. The higher the selected assistance level,
the more energy is consumed by the motor. The range to be achieved reduces accordingly.
