Acoustic pedestrian protection
Depending on vehicle equipment and national-
market version, Acoustic Pedestrian Protection
generates a continuous driving noise in vehi-
cles with electric or electrically assisted drives.
▷
With a stationary vehicle and drive-ready
state turned on, as soon as the selector
lever position P is exited.
▷ With electric driving up to approx.
20 mph/30 km/h.
A speaker system broadcasts the noise to the
environment. As a result, other road users,
for instance pedestrians or cyclists, can better
perceive the vehicle.
Auto Start/Stop function
Principle
The Auto Start/Stop function helps save fuel.
The system switches off the combustion en-
gine when conditions for electric driving have
been met. Drive-ready state remains switched
on.
General information
READY is displayed in the instrument cluster. If
necessary, the combustion engine starts auto-
matically.
The combustion engine is also stopped during
the trip when rolling without acceleration or
braking. This driving condition, in which the ve-
hicle is traveling without power and energy re-
covery is not active, is referred to as coasting.
The combustion engine is not switched off au-
tomatically in the following situations:
▷
The combustion engine is not at operating
temperature.
▷ Selector lever in S position.
▷ High-voltage battery is heavily discharged
or vehicle electrical system is heavily bur-
dened.
▷ High stress of the automatic climate control
in the heating or cooling phase.
▷ The hybrid system is malfunctioning.
▷ "SPORT": Driving mode enabled and drive
