Three segments: maximum power is
available.
R Two segments: Less than 66 % amount of
power is available.
R One segment: Less than 33 % amount of
power is available.
Under normal operating conditions the
indicator for the maximum power is at the
maximum range 0043.
The available amount of power can vary
from the the maximum range due to:
R very high or low outside temperatures
R very high power demand over a long time
period
R very low charge level of the high-voltage
battery
By charging the high-voltage battery, the
reduced availability of power can be
improved (Y page 114). ECO indicator
ECO indicator
0043helps you to optimize
your driving style. The energy consumption
of your vehicle can be reduced and the
cruising range can be increased.
The calculated ECO value in percent indi-
cates if and how your driving style differs
from an ideal driving style (100 %).
It is calculated from the dynamic factors
R acceleration
R braking behavior
R constant driving Feedback is provided by:
R
your driving style when accelerating and
coasting
-If you accelerate evenly and moder-
ately, the ECO value increases. If you
accelerate hard, the ECO value
decreases.
- Anticipatory, constant driving and
coasting without sudden braking
increases the ECO value.
R the uniformity of your driving style
-If you accelerate moderately, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal early
and avoid frequent braking, your driv-
ing style is constant and uniform.Thus,
the ECO value increases.
The ECO indicator summarizes the driving
characteristics from the start of the jour-
ney to its completion. For this reason, it
changes dynamically at the beginning of
the journey.
After a prolonged standstill of the vehicle,
ECO indicator display 0043always starts at
a value of 50 %.
Resetting the 0096STARTSTART menu (Y page 90),
sets the value of the ECO indicator back to
50 %.

WARNING
Never drive with iced up or fogged win-

impaired. Impaired visibility could
endanger yourself and others. This may
prevent you from observing the traffic con-
ditions, thereby causing an accident.

The rear window defroster serves to de-ice
the rear window quickly and clear the view
if the rear window is fogged.
The rear window defroster uses a large
amount of power. To keep battery drain to a
minimum, switch off the rear window
defroster as soon as the rear window is
clear. The rear window defroster is auto-
matically deactivated after approximately
10 minutes of operation. X

Switch to air recirculation mode to prevent
unpleasant odors from entering the vehicle
from the outside (e.g. before driving
through a tunnel). This setting cuts off the
intake of outside air and recirculates the
air in the passenger compartment. G
WARNING
When the air recirculation mode is
switched on, windows can fog on the inside
immediately. Fogged windows impair vis-
ibility, endangering you and others. If the
windows begin to fog on the inside, switch-
ing off the air recirculation mode imme-
diately should clear interior window fog-
ging. If interior window fogging persists,
make sure the air conditioning is switched
on, turn air distribution control 0084to

About replacing bulbs
Safe vehicle operation depends on proper
exterior lighting and signaling. It is
therefore essential that all bulbs and lamp
assemblies are in good working order at all
times.
Correct headlamp adjustment is extremely
important. Have headlamps checked and
readjusted at regular intervals and when a
bulb has been replaced. Contact an author-
ized electric drive smart center for head-
lamp adjustment. G
WARNING
Bulbs and bulb sockets can be very hot.
Allow the lamp to cool down before changing
a bulb. Otherwise you could be burned if you
touch them.
Keep bulbs out of the reach of children.
Halogen lamps contain pressurized gas. A
bulb can explode if you:
R touch or move it when hot
R drop the bulb
R scratch the bulb
Wear eye and hand protection.
i If the headlamps or front fog lamps* are
fogged up on the inside as a result of
high humidity, driving the vehicle a
distance with the lights on should clear
up the fogging. Notes on bulb replacement:
R
Only use bulbs of the same type and with
the specified watt rating.
R Switch the lights off before replacing a
bulb to prevent short circuits.
R Always use a clean lint-free cloth when
handling bulbs.
R Your hands should be dry and free of oil
and grease.
R Avoid touching the glass of the bulb with
bare fingers.
R If the newly installed bulb does not come
on, contact an authorized electric drive
smart center.
R Have the bulbs for the front fog lamps*
and the LED daytime running lamps*
replaced at an authorized electric drive
smart center. Replacing bulbs
