▷ High stress of the automatic air conditioning
system in the heating up and cooling down
phase.
▷ Front flap is unlocked.
▷ Vehicle is optimised for the current style of
driving, for example during running in or after
a visit to the workshop.
▷ Hybrid system is faulty.
Safety function
An automatically stopped internal combustion
engine does not start automatically:
▷ When the driver's door is open, when neither
the brake nor the accelerator pedal is pressed
and the driver's seat belt is not fastened.
▷ With the front flap released.
The indicator lamps illuminate. The internal com‐
bustion engine can only be started using the
start/stop button.
Parking the vehicle during
automatic engine stop
With automatic engine stop, the vehicle can be
parked safely, for example in order to leave it.
1.
Press the start/stop button.
▷ The standby state is activated.
▷ The Auto Start Stop function is deactiva‐
ted.
▷ Selector lever position P is automatically
engaged.
2. Apply the parking brake.
Malfunction
If there is a malfunction, Auto Start Stop function
no longer shuts down the internal combustion
engine automatically. A message is displayed. It
is possible to keep driving. Have the system
checked.
Functions when driving
General
The internal combustion engine provides the
main driving power. At the same time, the high-
voltage battery is charged as needed. The hybrid
system starts the internal combustion engine au‐
tomatically.
While driving electrically with ePOWER, the vehi‐
cle is powered by the electric motor.
Depending on the charge state of the high-volt‐
age battery, the maximum speed, acceleration
capability and range achieved may vary.
For electric driving and driving with the internal
combustion engine, the relevant prerequisites
must be met.
Driving off and accelerating are energy intensive.
To optimise acceleration and reduce fuel con‐
sumption, the electric motor supports the inter‐
nal combustion engine.
Safety note
WARNING
With electric driving, pedestrians and other
road-users might not detect the vehicle as well
as usual due to the lack of engine noise. There
is a risk of accident. Adapt your driving style to
the traffic conditions. Observe the traffic situa‐
tion and intervene actively if the situation war‐
rants it.
Operating requirements
Electric driving
▷ Charge state and temperature of high-voltage
battery is adequate.
▷ Selector lever position D or R engaged.
▷ Accelerator pedal is not pressed too far.
▷ Possible maximum speed for electric driving
is not exceeded.
