Optimum energy recuperation
Driving with foresight and decelerating in due
time help to optimise energy recuperation.
As soon as the display shows the maximum en‐
ergy recuperation, the brake pedal can then be
pressed more firmly only if the situation requires
it.
Example drive situations for saving
fuel
The hybrid system allows particularly efficient
energy management in many traffic situations.
▷ Stop-and-go traffic:
The internal combustion engine is automati‐
cally started or stopped by the hybrid system.
▷ Driving at constant speed:
The electric motor temporarily relieves the in‐
ternal combustion engine by automatically
switching in.
Optimising fuel consumption
Charging the vehicle regularly
Regularly charge the vehicle fully at a suitable
charging device. This reduces fuel consumption
by using electrical energy.
The load state of the high-voltage battery may
be reduced by longer periods standing still.
Using the stationary air conditioning
regularly
Activate preliminary air conditioning in the vehicle
during charging before starting the trip. This
helps to optimise the range.
Stationary air conditioning, see page 316.
Avoid using the internal combustion
engine
Comply with the following notes to avoid using
the internal combustion engine:
▷ Set the properties of the hybrid system to
ELECTRIC or ELECTRIC INDIVIDUAL using
Driving Experience Control.
Driving Experience Control, see page 155.
▷ Comply with the displays for electric driving in
the instrument cluster. Further information:
electric driving: ELECTRIC and ELECTRIC
INDIVIDUAL.
Displays of the hybrid system, see page 177.
Using the navigation system
regularly
Use the navigation system even for routes that
you are used to driving regularly. With active
route guidance of the navigation system, the hy‐
brid system uses the navigation data available.
The section of the route ahead is analysed. The
hybrid engine adapts to the specific sections of
the route.
The function may be limited if the navigation data
is invalid, outdated or not available, for example.
Driving modes for
optimising consumption
Principle
The HYBRID ECO PRO and ELECTRIC INDI‐
VIDUAL driving modes support a fuel-efficient
driving style. For this purpose, comfort functions
such as air conditioning and, where applicable,
engine control are adjusted. In ELECTRIC INDI‐
VIDUAL driving mode, deactivation of comfort
functions must be set first.
The engine is disconnected from the gearbox
and the engine stopped in selector lever posi‐
tion D under certain circumstances. Selector
lever position D remains engaged.
In addition, context-sensitive information, ECO
PRO tips, can be displayed in HYBRID ECO PRO
driving mode to assist with an efficient driving
style.
