STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory. 472
Energy distribution in hybrid drive
using map data
*
The Hybrid drive mode is the car's normal
mode where the electric motor and internal
combustion engine work individually or
together in hybrid drive. If a destination has
been selected in the navigation system
*
, the
Predictive Efficiency 10 function distributes
the electric energy consumption in an intelli-
gent way along the whole driving distance
using the map data.
Fuel consumption can then be reduced com-
pared with normal hybrid drive when the car is
first driven on electricity, to then change over
to being driven by the internal combustion
engine when the hybrid battery has been dis-
charged.
Function
If the distance to the selected destination is
greater than the estimated range when run-
ning on electricity, this function distributes the
electric energy for consumption that is as
energy-efficient as possible for the entire dis-
tance to be travelled. This makes it possible to
avoid situations where normal hybrid drive
would otherwise use a large proportion of the
electric energy, for example, to run electric
drive at high speed on a motorway and then
use the internal combustion engine at low
speed in urban driving.
The greatest fuel saving is achieved when
•
the distance to be travelled begins with
driving on a motorway
•
the distance to be travelled is between 50
and 100 km (30 and 60 miles)
•
the hybrid battery is fully charged at the
beginning.
Conditions for the function
For the function to work requires that a num-
ber of conditions are met:
•
A destination is set in the navigation sys-
tem and the driving distance to the desti-
nation is longer than the range possible
only on electric drive.
•
Hybrid drive mode is selected.
•
The Hold and Charge functions are deac-
tivated.
•
The hybrid battery is charged.
Tips for use
If the car is used for commuting to work and it
is not possible to charge the car at the place of
work, specify the place of work as an inter-
mediate destination and your home as the
final destination. The discharging of the hybrid
battery will then take place over your runs
both to and from work.
Add similar commuting routes, i.e. the route
between two charging points, as
Favourites
in the navigation system to facilitate arrival.
