The energy recovery occurs during coasting and
braking and is displayed in the performance dis‐
play by the accelerator pedal indicator.
The accelerator pedal pointer is within the
CHARGE range.
Efficient energy recovery:
▷ The accelerator pedal moves to the left within
the blue range of the CHARGE display, ar‐

Discharge of the high-voltage battery
General information
Longer idle periods, refer to page 262, can re‐
duce the charge state of the high-voltage bat‐
tery.
Safety information
NOTICE
The high-voltage battery can be damaged by
excessive discharge. There is a risk of damage
to property. Before storing the vehicle for an
extended period, ensure that the high-voltage
battery is fully charged. During the idle period,
