    we have a '07 Touring. in the past i have seen a post that fully explained how to understand what the different colors mean on the screen that shows where the power is coming from and understanding what the different colors mean on the battery part of the display. This post had pictures of the MFD with the explaination. i hope this makes sense. does anyone know where this post is? Thanks in advance. Dean

    The colors of the arrows on the "Consumption" display and the colors of the bars on the "Energy" display are both redundant eye candy. What matters is the source, destination and direction of the arrows, and the number (total height) of the bars. If they were all in black-and-white only they would still show the same information.
