– Decelerating downhill.
– Deceleration before a red light.
Avoid late or abrupt braking. Instead, decel-
erate the vehicle using energy recovery.
Set energy recovery
Concept
The energy recovery is adjustable.
– High energy recovery: the vehicle decel-
erates faster, more energy is returned to
the high-voltage battery.
– Low energy recovery: the vehicle decel-
erates more slowly, less energy is re-
turned to the high-voltage battery.
Overview
Energy recovery
Adjusting
Press the button up or down.
– LED off: high energy recovery.
– LED illuminated: low energy recovery.
The setting is briefly displayed in the in-
strument cluster.
Coasting
The electric drive makes it possible to roll
without consuming energy. This driving
condition is referred to as coasting.
Proactive driving reduces energy consump-
tion and increases the range.
With vehicle rolling, no energy is recov-
ered.
Exemplary traffic situations
If a route can be traveled without antici-
pated need for braking, it is advantageous
to roll.
The following exemplary driving situations
may be suitable:
– Rolling on a straight downhill route
without obstacles.
– Coasting on a route without obstacles.
Avoid late or abrupt braking.
Acoustic pedestrian protection
The system generates a continuous driving
noise during electric driving up to approx.
20 mph/30 km/h.
A speaker system broadcasts the noise to
the surroundings.
As a result, other road users, for instance
pedestrians or cyclists, can better perceive
the vehicle.
Heavily discharged high-voltage
battery
If the high-voltage battery is heavily dis-
charged during the trip, the performance
and some comfort features are reduced
step-by-step to extend the range.
Heated high-voltage battery
With a stationary vehicle
In isolated cases, when the vehicle is sta-
tionary, it is possible for the high-voltage
battery to overheat, for instance, as a result
of extreme hot or cold temperatures or di-
rect sunlight. Drive-ready state cannot be
