STARTING AND DRIVING
}}
467
Hybrid
•
This is the car's normal mode where the
electric motor and internal combustion
engine work together.
When the car starts, it is in the Hybrid mode.
The control system uses both the electric
motor and internal combustion engine – indi-
vidually or in parallel – and adapts use with
regard to performance, fuel consumption and
comfort. At higher speeds the ground clear-
ance is adjusted automatically to a lower
level
8 in order to reduce wind resistance. The
capacity to run solely with the electric motor
depends on the hybrid battery's energy level
and, for example, the need for heating or cool-
ing in the passenger compartment.
If high power output is available, it is possible
to drive with electrical power alone. When the
accelerator pedal is depressed, only the elec-
tric motor is activated until a certain position is
reached. The internal combustion engine
starts when this position is exceeded and the
energy level in the battery is insufficient for the
engine power that the driver requests with the
accelerator pedal.
At low energy level (hybrid battery almost
empty) the battery's energy level must be
maintained, leading to the internal combustion
engine starting more often. Charge the hybrid
battery from a 230 VAC socket with the
charging cable, or activate Charge in the func-
tion view in order to restore the capacity to
run on electricity alone.
The drive mode is designed for low energy
consumption with a mix of the electric motor
and the internal combustion engine, without
compromising the climate comfort and driving
experience. When higher acceleration is
required, maximum additional power from the
electric drive line is used.
The car also senses if the driving conditions
require all-wheel drive and automatically
engages it if necessary. All-wheel drive and
electric additional power are always available
regardless of the battery's state of charge.
Information in the driver display
When driving in hybrid mode the driver display
shows a hybrid gauge. The pointer in the
hybrid gauge indicates how much energy the
driver requests with the accelerator pedal. The
marking between the lightning bolt and the
drop shows how much energy is available.
The driver display for propulsion with both the elec-
tric motor and internal combustion engine.
The driver display also shows when
energy is returned to the battery
(regenerated) during light braking.
