Energy consumption and range
This range is reduced by:
R
high and low outside temperatures
R
a non-anticipatory driving style
R
switching on consumers, e.g. air-conditioning
system or heating.
The battery's physical characteristics are such
that leaving the vehicle parked for an extended
period at low outdoor temperatures without
charging it can lead to:
R
a reduction in battery performance
R
longer charge times
In extreme cases, this could mean that the vehi-
cle cannot be started. For this reason, connect
the charging cable when leaving the vehicle
parked for long periods at low outdoor temper-
atures.
As a result of its basic characteristics, the
amount of energy available from the high-volt-
age battery decreases over the course of its life.
This reduces:
R
the maximum range that can be achieved by
the vehicle
R
the maximum output (acceleration) of the
vehicle
You can actively reduce the energy consump-
tion of your vehicle in a number of ways, for
example, by:
R
an anticipatory driving style
R
reducing the use of electrical consumers
R
having the vehicle regularly maintained
The charging time of the high-voltage battery
may change over the course of its life.
Observe the displays on energy usage

RANGE PLUS
If you activate RANGE PLUS, the operating win-
dow of the battery will be extended at the next
charging process. An extended driving range will
be available to you for the next journey.
Using RANGE PLUS shortens the service life of
the battery. Therefore, only use RANGE PLUS if,
for example:
R
long journeys are planned or
R
the availability of charging stations at the des-
tination is limited
The more often RANGE PLUS is used, the more
the extended range is reduced.
Therefore always check the range display for
every journey (
Y
page 178).

The indicator lamp goes out.
RANGE PLUS switches off automatically if:
R
the charging cable is disconnected or
R
the charging process is complete
