45e RPM Display in Hybrid Mode

Is there any way to see rpms in hybrid mode? If not, any way to tell if the ICE engine is running just by looking at the digital instrument cluster? Thank you.

I haven't found a way to show RPMs while in Hybrid.

The power gauge in Hybrid mode shows if you're using eDrive (battery) by coloring a section of the gauge in blue. If you have sufficient charge, I believe it will show you can have up to 40% power from battery. At low charge, I see 5-10% power is available from battery.

If the car starts up the ICE for any reason (low battery, kick down, paddles, put the transmission in Sport mode), the blue section goes away and the entire power gauge is white.

If you move the shifter to the M/S position, it will change the epower gauge to RPM.

But anytime the epower gauge is all white, the speedometer isn’t in blue, or the edrive mileage counter isn’t blue, the ICE is on

Thanks everyone. I can now easily tell when the ICE is not running.
