Hold and Charge function
In some situations, it can be useful to be able
to control the hybrid battery's state of charge
while driving is in progress. This is possible
with the functions
Hold and Charge .
Hold and Charge are available in all drive
modes. The functions are cancelled if
Pure
drive mode is activated.
Function buttons for Hold and Charge
The functions are activated in the centre dis-
play's function view.
Hold
Battery level sustained for
later use
.
The function maintains the
charge in the hybrid battery
for electric drive and saves
available electricity for later
use, e.g. for driving in an urban environment or
through a residential area.
The car works as for normal hybrid operation
with discharged battery where, in addition to
re-using brake-generated energy, for example,
the car starts the internal combustion engine
more often in order to maintain the charge in
the battery.
Charge
Engine charges hybrid
battery
.
The function charges the
hybrid battery with assis-
tance from the internal com-
bustion engine for using
increased electric operation at a later time.
