Auto Start/Stop function, coasting
The Auto Start/Stop function, refer to
page 110, switches the combustion engine off
while the vehicle is moving, when braking,
when rolling to a halt, and while the vehicle is
stopped. The condition of rolling with the com‐
bustion engine switched off is referred to as
coasting. Convenience functions such as the
automatic climate control are supplied by the
high-voltage battery and can remain switched
on.
Energy recovery: CHARGE
The high-voltage battery of the hybrid system
is charged through energy recovery while driv‐
ing.
The electric motor acts as a generator and
converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into
electric current, refer to page 114.
Charging the vehicle
The high-voltage battery of the vehicle can be
charged, refer to page 276, via the charging
socket at charging stations or household sock‐
ets.
Regular and complete charging of the high-
voltage battery reduces the fuel consumption
by using electric energy.
Climate control while parking and
charging
The hybrid system makes it possible to oper‐
ate the automatic climate control prior to driv‐
ing off and with the combustion engine
switched off.
During vehicle charging or if the high-voltage
battery is sufficiently charged, the vehicle's in‐
terior can be can be cooled or heated in ad‐
vance of the trip, refer to page 240.
The stationary climate control, refer to
page 239, can also be switched on directly.
Display
The displays of the hybrid system, refer to
page 131, provide information about the cur‐
rent state of hybrid operation and show the
system activity in a chart.

ing descriptions:
