When coasting to a halt without pressing the
brake pedal.
Average energy recovery:
During a slight deceleration by gently pressing
the brake pedal.
Maximum energy recovery:
By pressing the brake pedal harder.
Brake according to the situation
Brake in accordance with the traffic con‐
ditions, or there is the risk of accident.◀
Optimum energy recovery
As soon as the display shows the maximum en‐
ergy recovery, only press the brake pedal harder
if required by the situation.
Driving situation examples for fuel
economy
In many driving situations, the hybrid system al‐
lows for a particularly efficient energy manage‐
ment.
▷ Stop-and-go traffic:
The combustion engine is switched on or
over automatically by the hybrid system.
▷ Driving with constant speed:
The electric motor relieves the combustion
engine periodically by also being switched
on.
Discharge of the high-voltage battery
In normal operation, a sufficient charging of the
high-voltage battery is ensured by energy re‐
covery. Longer idle periods can reduce the
charge state of the high-voltage battery.
Do not allow the vehicle to sit idle for ex‐
tended periods with a low charging state
Before storing the vehicle for an extended pe‐
riod, check the battery charge indicator to en‐
sure that the high-voltage battery is fully
charged. If necessary, charge the high-voltage
battery by driving the vehicle. Check the charge
level regularly, and if necessary recharge the
high-voltage battery by driving the vehicle. Al‐
lowing the high-voltage battery charge to drop
too low will damage the battery.◀
Charging by driving
In order to charge the high-voltage battery most
effectively when driving, activated the transmis‐
sion's Sport program DS, refer to page 72.
Coasting to a standstill and braking phases are
used more often to recover energy.
eDRIVE electric driving and the Auto Start Stop
function will also be deactivated.
Fast charging
In exceptional cases it can be charged in place,
such as before extended idle phases in order to
prevent damage to the high-voltage battery.
1.
Start the engine.
2. Engage transmission position P and set
parking brake.
