over automatically by the hybrid system.

engine periodically by also being switched

Optimizing fuel consumption
Charging the vehicle regularly
Charge the vehicle regularly and completely
using a suitable charging device. This will re-
duce fuel consumption due to the use of elec-
trical energy.
Longer idle periods can reduce the charge
state of the high-voltage battery.
Using the stationary climate control
regularly
Run advance climate control in the vehicle dur-
ing charging before driving off. This optimizes
the range.
