Activating when driving with the electric motor:
X
Pull the left or right steering wheel paddle
shifter (
Y
page 159).
The combustion engine is switched on. Man-
ual gearshifting is activated temporarily. The
selected gear and M appear in the multifunc-
tion display.

Manual gearshifting is activated temporarily.
The selected gear and M appear in the multi-
function display.
The ECO start/stop function is not available
when manually changing gear.

Driving tips
General driving tips
Drive carefully and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front. Avoid frequent and
sudden acceleration as well as abrupt braking.
During partial electric driving, pulling away and
acceleration, the electric motor supports the
internal combustion engine.
During overrun in transmission position D and
braking, the electric motor will operate as a gen-
erator.

tion (
Y
page 253).

Stationary vehicle
If the vehicle is stopped, the combustion engine
is, for the most part, switched off. Automatic
climate control continues to function. The elec-
tromechanically assisted steering gear allows
you to use the power steering without reduced
comfort.
Acceleration
Depending on the operating mode, pulling away
and driving under low load conditions are per-
formed:
R
entirely by electric propulsion
R
in combination with the internal combustion
engine
When accelerating rapidly under increased or
full load, increased boost mode is utilized. The
electric motor supports the combustion engine
by providing additional drive torque.
Overrun mode or braking
There are three possible operating modes when
the hybrid vehicle is decelerating:
R
energy recovery takes place even when the
vehicle is decelerating purely in overrun mode
(
Y
page 242). The electric motor operates as
a generator and stores the recovered energy
in the high-voltage battery.
R
when the brakes are applied lightly, the vehi-
cle is slowed down further by the electric
motor. This increases the energy recovery
taking place (
Y
page 242). The electric motor
operates as a generator and stores the recov-
ered energy in the high-voltage battery.
R
when the brakes are applied with greater
force, the service brakes are also used to slow
the vehicle down. The two systems work
together.
Urban driving
In city traffic, energy is recuperated during fre-
quent deceleration phases.
The vehicle can be driven by the electric motor
alone up to a speed of approximately 80 mph
(130 km/h).
The vehicle is driven by the electric motor alone
only when all conditions for the automatic
engine switch-off are fulfilled.
Further information on the automatic engine
switch-off (
Y
page 253).
Driving on inter-urban roads
The following phases are possible when driving
on inter-urban roads:
R
rapid acceleration (boost mode)
R
energy recuperation
R
electric operation mode
The vehicle can be driven by the electric motor
alone up to a speed of approximately 74 mph
(120 km/h).
A great deal of recovered energy may be avail-
able, depending on the route profile. This
reduces consumption and emissions.
