If there is no check mark in the field C , the ar-
row keys E can be used to select the charging
status of the high-voltage battery to be kept by
the system. This can lead to increased fuel con-
sumption.
Requirements for driving with electric drive
✓ The high-voltage battery charging status is su-
cient.
✓ The driving speed is lower than 140 km/h.
✓ The Sport driving mode is not selected.
Other conditions are system-related and cannot be
influenced.
At temperatures below -10 ° C, the electric drive
function may not be available.
illuminated - one of the requirements for driving
with electric drive is not met
Requirements for driving with hybrid drive
✓ The amount of fuel in the fuel tank is sucient.
Economical driving style
Tips for economical driving style and
evaluation of driving economy
Tips for economical driving
▶
Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
▶
Use the mode of the automatic transmission to
decelerate. This will charge the high-voltage bat-
tery.
▶
Avoid full acceleration and excessive speeds.
▶
Turn o the engine for longer periods.
▶
Observe the prescribed tyre pressure » page 195.
▶
Remove unnecessary ballast.
▶
Remove the roof rack when it is not needed.
▶
Switch on electric consumers only for as long as
necessary.
▶
Do not leave the windows open while driving.
Consumption-friendly driving
If, while driving, the system detects that no gear is
required on a vehicle with automatic transmission, it
automatically shifts to neutral. It therefore reduces
fuel consumption.

Towing a trailer
What you should be mindful of
WARNING
When driving with a trailer, special care is required!
NOTICE
With frequent towing, the vehicle is excessively loa-
ded so this must also be checked between service
intervals.
Recommendations for using a trailer
▶
Adjust the tyre pressure on the vehicle for full load.
▶
Do not exceed the maximum permissible total
weight of the vehicle and the combination weight
specified in the technical vehicle documentation
(e.g. in the vehicle registration documentation, in
the COC document) and on the type plate.
▶
For trailer operation, consider the current load con-
dition of the vehicle as well as the distribution of
the load in the trailer. The coupled trailer increases
the rear axle load and can therefore reduce the
payload.
▶
Adjust the headlight range of the headlights ac-
cording to the load status of the vehicle. The front
of the vehicle may lift up when a trailer is being
towed and the headlights may dazzle other road
users.
▶
A speed of 100 km/h should not be exceeded.
▶
Reduce the speed by releasing the accelerator
pedal as soon as a pendulum movement of the
trailer is noticeable. Never attempt to stop the
trailer from swaying by accelerating.
▶
If the trac area behind the trailer can not be
viewed, install additional exterior mirrors.
▶
Apply the brakes in good time. If the trailer is fitted
with a trailer brake, apply the brakes gently at first,
then brake firmly. This will avoid brake jolts result-
ing from the trailer wheels locking.
