System limits
The braking effect of the electric motor during
recuperation in overrun mode may be reduced or
may not be available at all in the following situa-
tions:
R
when the high-voltage battery charge level
increases
R
if the high-voltage battery is not yet at a normal
operating temperature
R
when driving at very slow speeds (near stand-
still)
R
in transmission position
i
R
during and after ESP
®
intervenes
▌
Manually setting recuperative deceleration
You can use the steering wheel gearshift paddles
to manually adjust the intensity of recuperation in
overrun mode.
The higher the recuperation, the more sharply the
vehicle is braked when coasting and the more
electrical energy is fed into the high-voltage bat-
tery.

Recuperation level
h
is automatically set
after restarting the vehicle.
If recuperation level
h
Ã
has already been
selected, it remains set even after the vehicle
is started again.
#
To increase recuperation: briefly pull steering
wheel gearshift paddle
1
.
#
To decrease recuperation: briefly pull steering
wheel gearshift paddle
2
.
#
To select
h
Ã
: pull and hold steering wheel
gearshift paddle
1
or

.
The following recuperation levels are available:
R

Ã
Radar-supported recuperation taking
road and traffic conditions into account, or
intelligent and anticipatory recuperation with
ECO Assist

No recuperation: the vehicle coasts,
rolls freely

Increased recuperation: increased

Maximum recuperation: maximum
deceleration in overrun mode
The display in the instrument cluster shows the
recuperation level currently set in the transmission
position display, e.g.

In addition to radar detection, ECO Assist anal-
yses other data for the expected route. This
allows ECO Assist to help optimally adjust the
driving style for the route ahead, use minimal
energy and recuperate.

WARNING Risk of accident and injury due
to leaving children unattended in the vehi-
cle
If children are left unattended in the vehicle,
they could, in particular:
R
open doors, thereby endangering other
persons or road users.
R
get out and be struck by oncoming traffic.
R
operate vehicle equipment and become
trapped, for example.
In addition, the children could also set the
vehicle in motion by, for example:
R
releasing the parking brake.
R
changing the transmission position.
R
starting the vehicle.
#
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle.
#
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
key with you and lock the vehicle.
#
Keep the vehicle key out of the reach of
children.
