Switch off any functions that
are not currently needed
Functions such as the rear window defroster
require a lot of energy and reduce the range,
especially in city and stop-and-go traffic.
Reel off these functions if they are not needed.
The ECO PRO and ECO PRO+ driving pro‐
grams support the energy-conserving use of
comfort features. They automatically perform a
partial or complete deactivation of these func‐
tions.
Have maintenance carried
out
Have vehicles maintained regularly to achieve
optimal vehicle efficiency and operating life.
The maintenance should be carried out by
your service center.
ECO PRO and ECO PRO+ The concept

and adapted to lighting and comfort features,
such as climate control output. Some vehicle
functions cannot be used during activated
drive mode ECO PRO and ECO PRO+.
In addition, context-sensitive instructions can
be displayed that assist in driving efficiently.

Departure time
The concept For optimum range and climate control, the
departure time can be set before parking the
car.
With a set departure time, the vehicle is cli‐
mate controlled during the charging process
when climate control is set. Climate control
output is reduced during the trip. This in‐
creases the range.
The following settings are possible at depar‐
ture time:
▷Climate control at departure time.▷Planning a one-time departure time.▷Planning of up to three regular departure
times per day of the week.
If drive readiness is switched off, changes can
be made on the Control Display. Departure
time can only be changed once. Scheduled de‐
parture times are not adjusted. Settings for cli‐
mate control and charging operation are also
applied for scheduled departure times.
