Safety mode
An automatically stopped combustion engine
does not start independently:
▷
With the driver's door open, if neither the
brake pedal nor the accelerator pedal is de‐
pressed, and the driver's safety belt is not
fastened.
▷
When the hood is unlocked.
The indicator lights come on. The combustion
engine can only be started via the Start/Stop but‐
ton.
Switching off the vehicle during
an automatic engine stop
During an automatic engine stop, the vehicle can
be switched off permanently, for instance when
leaving it.
1.
Press the Start/Stop button.
▷
The standby state is activated.
▷

Malfunction
The Auto Start/Stop function no longer switches
off the combustion engine automatically in the
event of a malfunction. A message is displayed. It
is possible to continue driving. Have the system
checked.
Functions while driving
General information
The combustion engine provides the main drive
power. If required, the high-voltage battery is
charged at the same time. The hybrid system
starts the combustion engine automatically.
While driving electrically with ePOWER, the vehi‐
cle is powered by the electric motor.
Depending on the charge state of the high-volt‐
age battery, maximum speed, the vehicle's ca‐
pacity to accelerate, and range can vary.
For electric driving and driving with the combus‐
tion engine, the relevant conditions must be sat‐
isfied.
Driving off and accelerating require a lot of en‐
ergy. To optimize acceleration and to reduce fuel
consumption, the electric motor boosts the com‐
bustion engine.
Safety information
Warning
When driving in electric mode, pedestrians and
other traffic might pay less attention to the ve‐
hicle due to the lack of engine noise. There is a
risk of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic
conditions. Watch traffic closely and actively in‐
tervene where appropriate.
Functional requirements
Electric driving
▷
State of charge and temperature of the high-
voltage battery is sufficient.
▷
Selector lever position D or R engaged.
▷
The accelerator pedal is not depressed too
far.
▷
The possible maximum speed for electric
driving is not exceeded.
Automatic starting of the
combustion engine while driving
Depending on the set hybrid mode, the combus‐
tion engine is automatically started under condi‐
tions such as the following while driving:
▷
