rear-wheel drive or combined for all-wheel
drive.
Follow the information about electric driv-
ing ePOWER, driving with the combustion
engine POWER, and the driving stability
control systems.
Support from the electric motor
Driving off and accelerating require a lot of
energy.
To optimize acceleration and to reduce fuel
consumption, the electric motor boosts the
combustion engine, refer to page 117 . To
do this, the electric motor uses the energy
saved in the high-voltage battery.
Driving with the combustion engine:
POWER
The combustion engine, refer to page 116 ,
provides the main drive power to move the
vehicle. If required, the high-voltage battery
is charged at the same time.
The hybrid system always starts the com-
bustion engine automatically.
Auto Start/Stop function, coasting
The Auto Start/Stop function, refer to
page 113 , switches the combustion engine
off while the vehicle is moving, when brak-
ing, when rolling to a halt, and while the ve-
hicle is stopped. The condition of rolling
with the combustion engine switched off is
referred to as coasting. Convenience func-
tions such as the automatic climate control
are supplied by the high-voltage battery and
can remain switched on.
Energy recovery: CHARGE
The high-voltage battery of the hybrid sys-
tem is charged through energy recovery
while driving.
The electric motor acts as an alternator and
converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle
into electrical energy, refer to page 117 .
Charging the vehicle
The high-voltage battery of the vehicle can
be charged, refer to page 258 , via the
charging socket at charging stations or do-
mestic socket outlets.
Regular and complete charging of the high-
voltage battery reduces the fuel consump-
tion by using electric energy.
Climate control while parking and
charging
The hybrid system makes it possible to op-
erate the automatic climate control prior to
start of the trip and with the combustion
engine switched off.
During vehicle charging or if the high-volt-
age battery is sufficiently charged, the car's
interior can be can be cooled or heated in
advance of the trip, refer to page 267 .
The pre-conditioning can also be switched
on directly.
Display
The displays of the hybrid system, refer to
page 137 , provide information about the
current state of hybrid operation.
Energy-saving driving
To save energy while driving, read the fol-
lowing descriptions:
– Saving fuel, refer to page 253 .
– Using the hybrid system efficiently, re-
fer to page 254 .
– GREEN Mode.
– Adapting to the course of the road.
Safety of the hybrid system
Follow the information on safety, refer to
page 66 .
