Status Word

Alongside the mode, the system exposes a set of global application flags — the status word of the system. It is readable in the /app_flags state at the root level and broadcast in both CAN status messages. Where the mode tells the phase the system is in, the flags tell why it behaves the way it does — each bit is meaningful on its own:

BitNameMeaning
0IgnitionThe ICE shall run — mirrors the ignition relay: set through starting and running
1ReducedThe system is not capable of sinking the full torque — a controller of a pair is missing or in error, or any controller is derated (thermal or voltage limits)
2CCConstant current — the battery charging current limiter is active (/battery/ibneg)
3CVConstant voltage — the battery voltage limiter is active (/battery/ubmax)
4ICE temperatureReserved for an ICE temperature limitation / derating — the engine is too cold or too hot; never set yet
5CAN timeoutThe CAN control message timed out — the last command stays latched
6BMS timeoutThe BMS battery current report timed out — the current limiter runs on the summed fallback
7ECU timeoutReserved for a future ECU message timeout — the ECU is likely to join the CAN communication, never set yet

Reduced, CC and CV together explain a capability below the requested cmd: Reduced means the electrical machines themselves cannot take the full torque, while CC/CV mean the battery does not accept it — the generation is deliberately held back in a constant-current or constant-voltage charging regime.
