To prevent theft, however, it is advisable
to only unlock the vehicle when you are
in close proximity to it. Locking and unlocking from the out-
side

never leave your key lying in the vehicle. Drive lock function The vehicle locks automatically when the
ignition is switched on and the wheels are
turning at vehicle speeds of approximately
8 mph (14 km/h) or more. The drive lock
function is enabled at the factory.

WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
key from the starter switch, take it with
you, and lock the vehicle. Do not leave chil-
dren unattended in the vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. A child’s
unsupervised access to a vehicle could
result in an accident and/or serious per-
sonal injury.
You can lock and unlock the vehicle from
inside using the central locking or unlock-
ing switch. This can be useful, for example,
if you want to unlock the passenger door
from inside or lock the vehicle before
starting to drive. Opening and closing

WARNING
Make sure absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals’ range of motion.
Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all
obstacles. If there are any floormats* or
carpets in the footwell, make sure the ped-
als still have sufficient clearance.
During sudden acceleration or braking
maneuvers, the objects could get caught
between or beneath the pedals and restrict
your ability to brake or accelerate. This
could lead to accidents and/or injury. G
WARNING
A vehicle with an electric motor produces
significantly lower noise levels than a
vehicle with a combustion engine. Other
motorists or pedestrians, especially those
who are visually or hearing impaired, may
be unable to hear your vehicle while it is
in motion. This is particularly true when
driving at lower speeds and during parking
maneuvers. At all times, it is the respon-
sibility of the driver to be aware of their
surroundings, especially in these low
speed situations. Otherwise other road
users could be seriously or fatally injured.
Vehicles equipped with an Acoustic Vehi-
cle Indication* emit a certain noise. Thus,
your vehicle will be better noticed by other
road users at low speeds (Y page 48).

WARNING
With the drive system inactive, there is no
power assistance for the brake and steering
systems. In this case, it is important to
keep in mind that a considerably higher
degree of effort is necessary to brake and
steer the vehicle. Adapt your driving
accordingly. G
WARNING
Vehicle movement can cause serious per-
sonal injury. Therefore, always do the fol-
lowing before exiting and leaving the
vehicle:
R Keep right foot on the brake pedal.
R Engage the parking brake.
R Move the gear selector lever to park
position P.
R Slowly release the brake pedal.
R When parked on an incline, always turn
the front wheels towards the curb.
R Turn the key to starter switch position 0
and remove the key from the starter
switch.
R Take the key with you and lock the vehicle
when leaving.
X Properly stop and park the vehicle.
X Depress the brake pedal.
X Engage the parking brake (Y page 77).
When the ignition is switched on, the
brake warning lamp 0027(USA only) or
004D (Canada only) in the instrument
cluster comes on.
X Release the brake pedal.
Parking brake The parking brake serves to secure the
vehicle against rolling away when it is
stationary or parked. Driving and parking
77>> Controls. Z

Make sure the drive system is active when-
ever the vehicle is rolling. Have the brake
system repaired at an authorized electric
drive smart center, if there is a fault in the
brake system. If a brake circuit has failed (Y
page 167),
you must depress brake pedal 0043further
down to achieve the same effect and the
braking distance is increased.
i The brake servo will only function with
the ignition switched on. Switching off the drive system
G
WARNING
Do not turn off the drive system before the
vehicle has come to a complete stop. With
the drive system not running, there is no
power assistance for the brake and steering
systems. In this case, it is important to
keep in mind that a considerably higher
degree of effort is necessary to brake and
steer the vehicle.
X Depress the brake pedal.
X Move the gear selector lever to park
position P.
The transmission position indicator
should be on P P

addition to shifting to park position P.X

ces the braking effect of the electric
motor.
In overrun or braking mode, the motor's
braking effect may therefore be reduced or
may not be present at all.
As a result of the reduced engine braking
effect, you may cause an accident and
injure yourself or others.
Compensate for the reduced engine braking
effect by pressing the brake pedal accord-
ingly, as required.
Using the steering wheel paddle shifters *,
you can increase or decrease the recuper-
ation in overrun phases. Recuperation
takes place when you release the acceler-
ator pedal. The electric motor will then be
used as a generator and energy will be
regained while driving. The regained
energy is stored in the high-voltage bat-
tery. High recuperation decelerates your
vehicle stronger.
In overrun phases, there are three levels of
recuperation:
R no recuperation (level 0, coasting)
R moderate recuperation (level 1)
R high-level recuperation (level 2)
The amount of recuperation in overrun
mode is displayed in the power gauge
(Y page 81).
The set mode for recuperation is shown in
the recuperation display (Y page 84).
When you switch on the ignition, level 1 is
automatically preset. 0043

0044 Right steering wheel paddle shifter
(plus)
X Decrease recuperation: Pull left steer-
ing wheel paddle shifter 0043.
X Increase recuperation: Pull right steer-
ing wheel paddle shifter 0044.
Use the different levels 0 to 2 for condi-
tions as described below: Level 0 Driving without frequent
breaking. No sharp bends on
the road ahead.
Maximum kinetic energy
remains for the vehicle.
Level 1 Normal driving, standard set-
ting.
Level 2 Sporty driving.
The break pedal has to be
depressed less often, as the
deceleration due to recuper-
ation is higher than in
level 1.
The energy efficiency is sub-
stantially higher than if the
vehicle is decelerated by
depressing the brake pedal.
At levels 1 and 2 the vehicle can be step-
lessly decelerated by depressing the brake
pedal.80
