What is the little symbol of the car over a triangle?

Hi All,

I've noticed when I first drive off, in the 3rd instrument dial in the instrument cluster in the corner I see the macan car symbol over a triangle, it's above the battery icon - it then disappears when I'm driving so have not been able to take photo of it yet. Does anyone know what it means - nothing comes up on search in the online manual.
I specced the air suspension so is it anything to do with this?

I'll try to take a photo if I can.

Cheers.

What is the battery icon. If I click on it status switches to off - nothing in the manual

That turns higher levels of recuperation on/off. With it on, when you are off throttle there will be a slight drag from the motor regen, similar in feel to compression braking on an ICE car.

It’s the status of the air suspension, if the triangle points down it’s lowered if it points up it’s lifted
Thanks, I double checked on the suspension PCM screen and indeed it was showing as lowered, interestingly there was then no option to put it back to normal - the normal (and off road) function had been greyed out.
Maybe some dynamic function of the air suspension - this car has a mind of its own 🤷‍♂️

What speed were you doing when trying to lift it? Above a certain speed it won't let you lift it. And if you set off in normal, above a certain speed it will automatically lower it.
