STARTING AND DRIVING

Information in the driver display
When driving in hybrid mode the driver display
shows a hybrid gauge. The pointer in the hybrid
gauge indicates how much energy the driver
requests with the accelerator pedal. The marking
between the lightning bolt and the drop shows
how much energy is available.
The driver display for propulsion with both the electric
motor and internal combustion engine.
The driver display also shows when
energy is returned to the battery
(regenerated) during light braking.
PURE
•
Drive the car with electric motor, with energy
consumption as low as possible and with
lowest possible carbon dioxide emissions.
The drive mode maximises driving on the hybrid
battery. This means, for example, that the output
of certain climate settings is reduced to provide
the longest possible mileage on electric power
alone.
The Pure mode is available when the hybrid bat-
tery has a sufficiently high energy level. The inter-
nal combustion engine also starts in the Pure
mode if the energy level in the battery falls too
low. The internal combustion engine also starts
•
if the speed exceeds 125 km/h (78 mph)
•
if the driver requests more motive force than
electric drive can provide
•
in the event of system/component limita-
tions, e.g. low outside temperature.
The drive mode is optimised for maximum range
with electric propulsion and especially developed
for urban traffic. Pure means lowest combustion
even when the hybrid battery is empty. The cli-
mate in the passenger compartment is regulated
to Eco climate, and in slippery driving conditions,
more wheel spin can be permitted before all-
wheel drive is activated automatically.
ECO climate control
In the Pure drive mode, Eco climate control is
activated automatically in the passenger com-
partment in order to reduce energy consumption.
NOTE
When the Pure drive mode is activated, sev-
eral parameters in the climate control sys-
tem's settings are changed, and several elec-
tricity consumer functions are reduced. Cer-
tain settings can be reset manually, but full
functionality is only regained by leaving
Pure
drive mode or adapting Individual drive mode
with full climate functionality.
In the event of difficulties due to misting, press
the button for max. defroster which has normal
functionality.
