Driving
WARNING
The higher the charge level of the high-volt-
age battery, the lower the braking eect of
the engine, to the extent that there may be
no braking eect due to recuperation. This
can change the behaviour of the vehicle,
which can lead to accidents and serious or
fatal injuries.
●
Do not fully charge the high-voltage bat-
tery at high altitude, such as at the top of a
mountain pass, to allow the use of the recu-
peration braking eect when driving down-
hill.
●
Reduce speed before driving on a steep
gradient.
●
Reduce the vehicle’s speed by using the
vehicle brakes when driving on a steep gradi-
ent.
●
Note that there is a higher load on the ve-
hicle’s brakes if there is no engine braking
eect.
Show the active operating mode
The operating mode active at any given time is
displayed on the instrument cluster display, e.g.
.
WARNING
Switching to a dierent operating mode
while driving can distract you from trac
conditions and cause accidents.
Note
Information about the operating mode that
is currently active is displayed on the instru-
ment cluster display, along with the charge
level of the high-voltage battery.
Vehicle sound
✓ Valid for: hybrid vehicles
The electric drive makes much less noise than
a combustion engine. In the versions for some
countries, artificial vehicle sound is generated
to allow the vehicle to be heard better from
the outside. At higher speeds, when the noise
produced by the tyres and the wind increases,
the vehicle's sound automatically fades out.
WARNING
During electric driving, the auditory percep-
tion of the vehicle by other road users may
be much lower. This is especially true in traf-
fic-restricted areas and when manoeuvring
or reversing. Accident hazard!
