Functions
Electric driving: eDRIVE
The vehicle is powered exclusively by the electric
motor. The accelerator pedal can be used not
just for acceleration, but also for deceleration.
When the vehicle decelerates, the electric motor
acts as a generator and charges the high-voltage
battery. With a sensible driving style, this function
can be used for especially efficient energy recov‐
ery and comfortable driving, using just the accel‐
erator pedal.
Acoustic pedestrian protection
Depending on the country-specific version, the
system generates a continuous driving noise
during electric driving at low speeds.
Coasting
An especially efficient operating point is so-
called coasting. In this case, the vehicle is decel‐
erated only by driving resistance and no energy
flows between high-voltage battery and electric
motor. In order to coast, depress the accelerator
pedal far enough that the mark in the instrument
cluster, refer to page 114, is exactly in the cen‐
ter.
Energy recovery: CHARGE
The high-voltage battery is charged while driving
through energy recovery.
The electric motor acts as a generator and con‐
verts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electri‐
cal energy.
Charging can take place in various situations
while the vehicle is in motion:
▷ As soon as the accelerator pedal is only
slightly depressed.
▷ During vehicle braking.
The mark in the instrument cluster is located
within the CHARGE range.
Sensible driving and early speed reduction are
important to make full use of the energy recovery
feature.
Display
The eDRIVE displays, refer to page 115, provide
information about the current state of the drive
and visualize the system's use in a diagram.
Maximize energy-saving driving and
range
Energy-saving driving is the basic prerequisite for
as large a range as possible. eDRIVE provides
various functions that assist with an energy-sav‐
ing driving style and help to monitor the range,
and if needed, to increase it. The following de‐
scriptions provide an overview of the available
functions and the personal measures.
Before driving
eDRIVE allows using the air conditioner even be‐
fore driving off. The stationary climate control, re‐
fer to page 178, provides more range than using
full air conditioning while driving.
Parked vehicle ventilation during the charging
process can provide maximum range when driv‐
ing off.
Trip planning and special functions of the
navigation system
Several special functions of the navigation sys‐
tem support trip planning taking into account the
electric range:
▷ Range assistant, refer to Integrated Owner's
Manual, checks whether an entered naviga‐
tion destination can be reached. If the range
is not sufficient, various recommendations to
help increase the range are displayed auto‐
matically, for instance an alternative ECO
PRO route is displayed.
▷ Intermodal routing or intermodal information,
refer to Integrated Owner's Manual, as route
