Driving
•
Choose the Pure drive mode to help mini-
mize electric power consumption.
•
Maintain a steady speed and a generous
following distance to traffic ahead to mini-
mize braking. This drive mode has the
lowest power consumption.
•
Balance energy requirements using the
accelerator pedal. Use the indicator on the
instrument panel to see available electric
power and avoid starting the combustion
engine unnecessarily. The electric motor is
more effective than the combustion
engine, especially at low speeds.
•
When braking is necessary, brake gently
using the brake pedal. This will help
recharge the hybrid battery. A regenerative
function is integrated in the brake pedal
and can be augmented by the electric
motor's braking capacity when the gear
selector is in mode
B .
•
Higher speeds increase energy consump-
tion - air resistance increases with speed.
•
Activate the Hold function in the Function
view at high speeds when traveling farther
than is possible using the hybrid battery's
capacity.
•
Whenever possible, avoid using the
Charge function to charge the hybrid bat-
tery. Charging the battery using the com-
bustion engine increases fuel consump-
tion and carbon dioxide emissions.
•
In a cold climate, reduce heating of the
windshield/rear window, mirrors, seats
and the steering wheel.
•
Maintain the correct pressure in the tires
and check pressure regularly.
•
The type of tires used could affect energy
consumption - consult a retailer for advice
on suitable tires.
•
Remove unnecessary items from the vehi-
cle - the heavier the load, the higher the
fuel consumption.
•
Roof loads increase air resistance and
increase fuel consumption. Remove roof
boxes, ski racks, etc. that are not in use.
•
Avoid driving with the windows open.
•
Do not keep the vehicle still on an upward
gradient by using the accelerator pedal.
Use the brakes instead.

Factors affecting electric motor
range
A number of factors affect the electric
motor's driving range. The ability to achieve a
long driving range varies according to the
outside conditions and to how the vehicle is
driven.
The certified value for the distance that can be
driven using the electric motor should not be
considered an expected driving range. The
actual range is dependent on a number of fac-
tors.
Factors affecting driving range
The driver can influence some factors affecting
driving range, but not all.
The longest range is achieved under very
favorable conditions when all factors positively
influence range.
