rear-wheel drive or combined for four-wheel
drive.
Follow the information about electric driv-
ing ePOWER, driving with the combustion
engine POWER, and the driving stability
control systems.
Assistance from the electric motor
Driving off and accelerating require a lot of
energy.
To optimize acceleration and to reduce fuel
consumption, the electric motor boosts the
combustion engine, refer to page 117. To
do this, the electric motor uses the energy
saved in the high-voltage battery.
Driving with the combustion engine:
POWER
The combustion engine, refer to page 116,
provides the main drive power to move the
vehicle. If required, the high-voltage battery
is charged at the same time.
The hybrid system always starts the com-
bustion engine automatically.
Auto Start/Stop function, coasting
The Auto Start/Stop function, refer to
page 113, switches the combustion engine
off while the vehicle is moving, when brak-
ing, when rolling to a halt, and while the ve-
hicle is stopped. The condition of rolling
with the combustion engine switched off is
referred to as coasting. Convenience func-
tions 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 sys-
tem is charged through energy recovery
while driving.
The electric motor acts as a generator and
converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle
into electrical energy, refer to page 117.
Charging the vehicle
The high-voltage battery of the vehicle can
be charged, refer to page 248, via the
charging socket at charging stations or
household sockets.
Regular and complete charging of the high-
voltage battery reduces the fuel consump-
tion by using electric energy.
Climate control while parking and
charging
The hybrid system makes it possible to op-
erate the automatic climate control prior to
driving off and with the combustion engine
switched off.
During vehicle charging or if the high-volt-
age battery is sufficiently charged, the car's
interior can be can be cooled or heated in
advance of the trip, refer to page 255.
The stationary climate control can also be
switched on directly.
Display
The displays of the hybrid system, refer to
page 134, provide information about the
current state of hybrid operation.
Energy-saving driving
To save energy while driving, read the fol-
lowing descriptions:
– Saving fuel, refer to page 243.
– Using the hybrid system efficiently, re-
fer to page 244.
– GREEN Mode.
– Adapting to the course of the road.
Safety of the hybrid system
Follow the information on safety, refer to
page 67.
