The vehicle is propelled in hybrid mode; in other
words, in combined propulsion with the internal
combustion engine and electric motor.
ELECTRIC
In ELECTRIC, the vehicle is driven exclusively
electrically.
BATTERY CONTROL
With BATTERY CONTROL, the electric range
can be retained and conserved for a later point in
the journey or increased if necessary.

Charging vehicle
The high-voltage battery of the vehicle can be
charged using the charging socket at charging
stations or at domestic socket outlets.
Regular and complete charging of the high-volt‐
age battery reduces fuel consumption, because
electrical energy is used.
For further information:
Charge vehicle, see page 356.
Air conditioning when parking
and charging
The hybrid system allows the automatic air con‐
ditioning to be operated before the start of a
journey and with the internal combustion engine
switched off.
When the vehicle is being charged or if the high-
voltage battery is sufficiently charged, the interior
can be cooled or heated in advance before the
start of a journey.
The standing air conditioning can also be
switched on directly.
For further information:
Stationary air conditioning, see page 316.
Energy-saving driving
Observe the following descriptions for energy-
saving driving.
For further information:
▷ Saving fuel, see page 348.
▷ Using the hybrid system efficiently, see
page 349.
▷ Driving modes for optimising consumption,
see page 350.
