STARTING AND DRIVING
}}
453
Factors the driver can influence
The driver should be aware that the following
factors affect the range so he/she can operate
the car in an energy-efficient manner:
•
regular charging
•
preconditioning
•
drive mode
Pure
•
climate settings
•
speed and acceleration
•
Hold function
•
tyres and tyre pressure.
The table shows the approximate relationship
between constant speed and range, where a
lower constant speed has a positive effect on
range.
Constant speed
100 km/h (62 mph) 50 %
80 km/h (50 mph) 70 %
60 km/h (37 mph) 90 %
50 km/h (31 mph) 100 %
NOTE
•
The values shown in the tables relate
to a new car.
•
These values are not absolute, but are
dependent upon driving behaviour,
environment and other circumstances.

Hold and Charge function
In some situations, it can be useful to be able
to control the hybrid battery's state of charge
while driving is in progress. This is possible
with the functions
Hold and Charge.
Hold and Charge are available in all drive
modes. The functions are cancelled if
Pure
drive mode is activated.
Function buttons for Hold and Charge
The functions are activated in the centre dis-
play's function view.
Hold
Battery level sustained for
later use.
The function maintains the
charge in the hybrid battery
for electric drive and saves
available electricity for later
use e.g. for driving in an urban environment or
through a residential area.
The car works as for normal hybrid operation
with discharged battery where, in addition to
re-using brake-generated energy, for example,
the car starts the internal combustion engine
more often in order to maintain the charge in
the battery.
