Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with
the series. It also describes features and
functions that are not necessarily available
in your vehicle, e.g., due to the selected op-
tions or country versions. This also applies
to safety-related functions and systems.
When using these functions and systems,
the applicable laws and regulations must be
observed.
General information
The vehicle contains comprehensive tech-
nologies for reducing energy consumption
and for maximizing the range.
The range depends on a number of different
factors, refer to page 125.
The implementation of certain measures,
driving style and regular maintenance can
increasing the range and thereby also re-
duce the environmental impact.
Remove unnecessary cargo
Additional weight reduces the range.
Remove attached parts follow-
ing use
Remove auxiliary mirrors, roof-mounted or
rear luggage racks which are no longer re-
quired following use.
Attached parts on the vehicle impair the
aerodynamics and increase the energy con-
sumption.
Close the windows and glass
sunroof
Driving with the glass sunroof and windows
open results in increased air resistance and
thereby reduces the range.
Tires
General information
Tires can affect energy consumption in vari-
ous ways, for instance energy consumption
can be influenced by tire size.
Check the tire inflation pressure
regularly
Check and, if needed, correct the tire infla-
tion pressure at least twice a month and be-
fore starting on a long trip.
Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling
resistance and thus raises energy consump-
tion and tire wear.
Stationary climate control
Run advance climate control, refer to
page 184, in the vehicle during charging be-
fore driving off.
Heating and cooling operations are very en-
ergy intensive and substantially reduce the
electric range.
