ter. The acoustic presence indicator can also
be heard in the vehicle interior.
The volume of the acoustic presence indica-
tor depends on the engine speed. The greater
the acceleration, the louder the noise. At
speeds of over 18 mph (30 km/h ), the noise is
switched off. Above this speed, the driving
noise naturally created by the vehicle is typ-
ically sufficient for the vehicle to be heard in
good time by other road users.
Driving economically
Notes on economical driving
In order to save energy, smart electric drive
recuperates part of the kinetic energy and
uses it to charge the high-voltage battery.
When the driver releases the accelerator, the
vehicle is braked.
In the following cases, the vehicle will slow
down only partially or not at all when the
accelerator pedal is released:
R
the gear lever is in position h and the
vehicle is rolling backwards
R
the gear lever is in position k and the
vehicle is rolling forwards
On steep slopes, the vehicle may not be held
at all or may only be held to a limited extent.
In the following cases recuperation is
restricted:
R
the high-voltage battery is fully charged
or too cold
R
the power electronics or the engine has
overheated
Recommendations for driving economically:
R
accelerate moderately
R
pay attention to the power display

R
drive with care
R
use the air conditioning and electrical
consumers in moderation
R
have maintenance work carried out at the
specified service intervals
ECO mode can be used to save additional
energy.
ECO mode has the following characteristics:
R
Reduced torque and significantly reduced
power. This supports a particularly effi-
cient, steady driving style. The speed is
reduced to approx. 70 mph (110 km/h).
R
Output of air conditioning and heating is
reduced.
R
Recuperation is maximized.
R
Less acceleration.
In order to increase acceleration in ECO mode,
press the accelerator pedal beyond the pres-
sure point.
Switching ECO mode on and off

Press button : .
If the energy-saving function is activated,
the ECO display is shown in the on-board
computer.
The energy-saving function is switched
off when the ignition is restarted.
