Optimum energy recovery
Foresighted driving and decelerating helps
with optimizing energy recovery.
As soon as the display shows the maximum
energy recovery, only depress the brake pedal
harder if required by the situation.
Exemplary driving situations for fuel
economy
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 can reduce the charge
state of the high-voltage battery.
Using the stationary climate control
regularly
Run advance climate control in the vehicle dur-
ing charging before driving off. This optimizes
the range.
Stationary climate control, refer to page
303 .
Avoiding the use of the combustion
engine
Follow the following information to avoid using
the combustion engine:
▷ Set the properties of the hybrid system to
ELECTRIC or ELECTRIC INDIVIDUAL using
Driving Dynamics Control.
Driving Dynamics Control, refer to page
152 .
▷ Follow the indicators for electric driving in
the instrument cluster. Further information:
electric driving: ELECTRIC and ELECTRIC
INDIVIDUAL.
Displays of the hybrid system, refer to
page 172 .
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.
The function may be restricted if the naviga-
tion data is invalid, outdated or not available,
for example.
Driving modes for
optimizing consumption
Principle
The HYBRID ECO PRO and ELECTRIC INDI-
VIDUAL driving modes support a fuel-efficient
driving style. For this purpose, comfort features
such as the climate control output and, where
applicable, the engine control are adjusted. In
ELECTRIC INDIVIDUAL driving mode, deacti-
vation of comfort functions must be set first.
When certain prerequisites are met the engine
is automatically decoupled from the transmis-
sion in the D selector lever position and the
engine is switched off. The D selector lever
position remains engaged.
In addition, context-sensitive information, ECO
PRO tips, can be displayed in HYBRID ECO
