STARTING AND DRIVING
468
Pure
•
Drive the car with electric motor, with
energy consumption as low as possible
and with lowest possible carbon dioxide
emissions.
The drive mode prioritises driving on the
hybrid battery. This means, for example, that
the ground clearance is lower
8
to reduce wind
resistance and the output of certain climate
settings is reduced to provide the longest pos-
sible mileage range on electric power alone.
The Pure mode is available when the hybrid
battery has a sufficiently high energy level. The
internal 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 adapted for maximum range
with electric propulsion and especially devel-
oped for urban traffic.
Pure means lowest
combustion even when the hybrid battery is
empty. The climate in the passenger compart-
ment is regulated to Eco climate, and in slip-
pery driving conditions, more wheel spin can
be permitted before all-wheel drive is acti-
vated 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 consump-
tion.
NOTE
When the Pure drive mode is activated,
several parameters in the climate control
system's settings are changed, and several
electricity consumer functions are reduced.
Certain 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.
Off Road
•
Prioritise the car's traction when driving in
difficult terrain and on poor roads.
The drive mode provides high ground clear-
ance
8
, steering is light, all-wheel drive and the
function for low speed control with hill
descent control (Hill Descent Control) are acti-
vated.
The drive mode is only available at low speeds,
up to 40 km/h (25 mph). If this speed is
exceeded,
Off Road mode is cancelled and
the Constant AWD drive mode is activated
instead.
To be able to drive all four wheels, the internal
combustion engine and electric motor run
continually, which results in increased fuel
consumption.
In the Off Road mode the driver display has a
compass between the speedometer and tach-
ometer. The speedometer shows the range for
speed limitation.
8 Applies with air suspension.
