Heavily discharged high-voltage
battery
If the high-voltage battery is heavily dis-
charged while driving, the drive power and
some comfort features are reduced incremen-
tally in order to extend the range.
Heated high-voltage battery
With a stationary vehicle
In isolated cases, when the vehicle is station-
ary, it is possible for the high-voltage battery to
overheat, for instance at extreme outside tem-
peratures and in direct sunlight. Drive-ready
state cannot be turned on if the high-voltage
battery is overheated.
A Check Control message is displayed.
Another message will indicate when drive-
ready state is available again.
While driving
If the high-voltage battery overheats while
driving, the drive power is reduced incremen-
tally in order to cool down the high-voltage
battery. The ePOWER power gauge in the in-
strument cluster decreases.
If the temperature increases further, park
the vehicle until the high-voltage battery has
cooled down.
If the power gauge falls to 0, the drive-ready
state is switched off and the vehicle comes to a
stop.
Launch Control
Principle
Launch Control enables optimum acceleration
on roads with good traction under dry sur-
rounding conditions.
General information
Using Launch Control causes premature com-
ponent wear since this function represents a
very heavy load for the vehicle.
Do not turn the steering wheel when driving off
with Launch Control.
Do not use Launch Control when breaking in
the vehicle.
Additional information:
Break-in, refer to page 306.
