Things to remember when drivingVehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and
systems.
Breaking-in period
General information Moving parts need time to adjust to one an‐
other (break-in time).
The following instructions will help accomplish
a long vehicle life and good efficiency.
Range Extender The full performance of the Range Extender is
available after a brief operating period and is
only minimally restricted during the run-in
phase.
Control of the Range Extender during and after
the run-in phase, as well as the activation of
the full performance, are preset depending on
the system and take place automatically.
Tires
Tire traction is not optimal due to manufactur‐
ing circumstances when tires are brand-new;
they achieve their full traction potential after a
break-in time.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.
Brake system
Brakes require an initial break-in period of ap‐
prox. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimal per‐
formance between brake discs and brakepads. Drive moderately during this break-in pe‐
riod.
Following part replacement
The same break-in procedures should be ob‐
served if any of the components above-men‐
tioned have to be renewed in the course of the
vehicle's operating life.
Using eDRIVE efficiently The concept
eDRIVE operates automatically. Proactive driv‐
ing utilizes energy consumption and energy re‐
covery optimally. Energy recovery is used to
charge the high-voltage battery. It is important
for the supply of electrical components and
thus a prerequisite for an extensive range. En‐
ergy consumption and recovery depend very
much, among other things, on your driving
style.
Optimizing driving style
Performance display The driving style can be optimized using the
performance display.
The energy recovery occurs during coasting
and braking and is displayed in the perform‐
ance display by the accelerator pedal indicator.
