Display device and method for a hybrid vehicle having such a display device
First Claim
1. A display device for a hybrid vehicle having a first drive source and at least one second drive source of a different type than the first drive source for driving the hybrid vehicle in accordance with a load requirement from a driver, the display device comprising:
- at least one first display component for displaying a value of a load requirement specified by the driver at a specific point in time, and, when the hybrid vehicle is driven exclusively by the at least one second drive source in a first operating mode at the specific point in time,at least one second display component is provided for visualizing a limit of a maximum load requirement available for drawing by the driver in the first operating mode at this point in time, where exceeding this limit causes the first drive source for driving the hybrid vehicle to be activated in addition or exclusively;
at least one third display component being activatable with which it is possible to visualize a second operating mode of the hybrid vehicle in which the maximum load requirement available for drawing by the driver when the hybrid vehicle is driven exclusively by the at least one second drive source at the specific point in time is increased as compared to the first operating mode,wherein the at least one second drive source is electric powered.

Abstract
A display device for a hybrid vehicle having a first drive source and at least one second drive source for driving the hybrid vehicle according to a load requirement by the driver. The display device has at least one display component for displaying a value of a load requirement predetermined by the driver at a specific time and, when the hybrid vehicle is driven exclusively by the at least one second drive at said time, at least one additional display component is provided for visualizing a limit of a maximum load requirement retrievable by the driver at said time, wherein if said load requirement is exceeded, the first drive source is also or exclusively activated for driving the hybrid vehicle. At least one further display component can be activated, via which the visualization of at least one such mode of operation of the hybrid vehicle is possible.

5. A method for displaying, on a display device, values of a load requirement on a drive train of a hybrid vehicle having a first drive source and at least one second drive source of a different type than the first drive source for driving the hybrid vehicle, the method comprising:
-
displaying, by a first display component, a value of a load requirement specified by a driver at a specific point in time; visualizing, when the hybrid vehicle is driven exclusively by the at least one second drive source in a first operating mode at this point in time, at least one limit of a maximum load requirement available for drawing by the driver at the specific point in time, where exceeding this limit causes the first drive source for driving the hybrid vehicle to be activated in addition or exclusively and where the limit is displayed by a second display component; and activating a visualization of a second operating mode of the hybrid vehicle in which the maximum load requirement available for drawing by the driver when the hybrid vehicle is driven exclusively by the at least one second drive source at the specific point in time is increased as compared to the first operating mode, a limit of the maximum load requirement of the second operating mode being displayed by a third display component. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17)
