BATTERY CONTROL
General information
A certain charge state of the
high-voltage battery can be
maintained with BATTERY
CONTROL. This charge state
can be adjusted. The electric
range can be conserved in this way for a later
point in the trip, for instance.
If the current charge state is too low, the bat‐
tery is charged during the trip. This charging
process increases the average fuel consump‐
tion.
Activating BATTERY CONTROL
Press the button repeatedly until
BATTERY CONTROL is displayed in
the instrument cluster.
The BATTERY CONTROL sym‐
bol is displayed in the instru‐
ment cluster.
When pressing the button, the current eDRIVE
setting is graphically displayed on the Control
Display.
Adjusting the charge state
The charge state can be set in various ways.
Using the eDRIVE button:
1.
Press the eDRIVE button repeatedly until
BATTERY CONTROL is displayed in the
instrument cluster and on the Control Dis‐
play.
2. Select "Set target value" on the Control
Display.
3. "Target value:": set the desired value.
Using iDrive:
1.
"My Vehicle"
2. "Vehicle settings"
3. "BATTERY CONTROL"
4. "Target value:"
5. Set the desired value.
The charge state to be conserved is displayed
as a percentage value on the Control Display.
A marking is set in the instrument cluster for
the adjusted value in the charge state indicator
of the high-voltage battery, refer to page 131.
Auto Start/Stop function, coasting
Concept
The combustion engine is automatically stop‐
ped and disengaged from the drivetrain. This
driving condition of rolling is referred to as
coasting.
After coasting, the combustion engine or elec‐
tric motor provides the necessary drive power
automatically again, depending on the hybrid
mode.
Functional requirements
Coasting is possible under the following condi‐
tions:
The high-voltage battery is sufficiently
charged.
Transmission position D is engaged.
The drive system is at operating tempera‐
ture.
In ECO PRO: mode, when coasting, with‐
out operating the brake, at speeds below
100 mph, approx. 160 km/h.
Acoustic pedestrian protection
Concept
Depending on the country-specific version, the
system generates a continuous driving noise
at standstill with the drive-ready state acti‐
vated and during electric driving up to approx.
20 mph/30 km/h.
A speaker system broadcasts the noise to the
surroundings.
