adapt your speed to the driving conditions and
keep a sufficient distance.
The recuperative brake system has the following
characteristics:
R
supports braking with electronically controlled
brake force boosting
R
converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into
electric energy
%
If you brake hard, the mechanical brake is
also used. This means that the maximum
recuperative energy cannot be recovered. The
more you drive and brake in an anticipatory
manner, the more efficiently energy can be
recuperated.
System limits
The braking effect of the electric motor during
recuperation in overrun mode may be reduced or
may not be available at all in the following situa-
tions:
R
when the high-voltage battery charge level
increases
R
if the high-voltage battery is not yet at a nor-
mal operating temperature
In these cases, the desired deceleration is set by
the brake control system.
