Optimum energy recovery
Foresighted driving and decelerating helps
with optimizing energy recovery.
As soon as the display shows the maximum
energy recovery, only press the brake pedal
harder if required by the situation.
Exemplary traffic situations for fuel
efficiency
In many driving situations, the hybrid system
allows for a particularly efficient energy man‐
agement.
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.
Optimizing fuel consumption
Charging the vehicle regularly
Charge the vehicle regularly and completely
using a suitable charging device. This will re‐
duce fuel consumption due to the use of elec‐
trical energy.
Longer idle periods, refer to page 337, can re‐
duce the charge state of the high-voltage bat‐
tery.
Avoiding the use of the combustion
engine
Observe the following information to avoid us‐
ing the combustion engine:
Set the characteristics of the hybrid sys‐
tem to MAX eDRIVE, refer to page 112.
Observe the indicators in the instrument
cluster regarding electric driving, refer to
page 131.
Using the navigation system regularly
Use the navigation system also for familiar and
regularly traveled routes. When the navigation
system destination guidance is active, the hy‐
brid system uses the existing navigation data.
The upcoming course of the road is analyzed.
Hybrid operation adapts to the specific route
sections.
ECO PRO
Concept
ECO PRO supports a driving style that saves
on fuel consumption. For this purpose, the en‐
gine control and comfort features, for instance
the climate control output, are adjusted.
Under certain conditions the engine is auto‐
matically decoupled from the transmission in
the D selector lever position and the engine is
switched off. The D selector lever position re‐
mains engaged.
In addition, context-sensitive information, ECO
PRO tips, are displayed to assist with an opti‐
mized fuel consumption driving style.
General information
The system includes the following
EfficientDynamics functions and
EfficientDynamics displays:
ECO PRO climate control, refer to
page 271.
Driving style analysis, refer to page 271.
