Function key Function
Driv. data Since Start Display of average fuel consumption, average speed, route, travel time, and range from the time the ignition was switched on until the time it was switched off.
Long-term Display of average fuel consumption, average speed, route, travel time, and range.
Hybrid Energy flow Shows the energy flow between the engine, high-voltage battery, and driving wheels
Zero Emission Displays the emission-free driving time as a bar graph. Each bar represents 1 minute of driving. The height of the bar indicates the proportion of emission-free driving in %.
A full bar, or 100% ⇒ fig. 129 (1), is a 1 minute interval of emission-free hybrid driving or sailing. No bar, or 0% (2), is a 1 minute interval driving only with the combustion engine. The display shows the emissions for a maximum of 30 minutes. Tapping Reset resets all values on this graph to zero.

accelerator. For Hill Hold to work, the engine must be running and the vehicle must be in Drive (D), Sport Drive (S), or Reverse (R) and you must use the foot brake to hold the vehicle before starting to move.
Hill Hold keeps the brake applied for not quite 2 seconds with the same force you used to prevent the vehicle from moving. This gives you time to take your foot off the brake and gently depress the accelerator to get the vehicle moving again. If you do not depress the accelerator pedal and get the vehicle moving again within this time, the brakes will release and the vehicle will roll downhill. Furthermore, if any requirement for engaging Hill Hold is no longer met while the vehicle is stopped, Hill Hold disengages and the brakes are automatically released and will no longer hold the vehicle.
Hill Hold is activated automatically when points 1 to 3 are met at the same time:

Step Automatic transmission
1. Hold the stopped vehicle on an incline with the foot or parking brake.
2. The engine must be running “smoothly.”
3. An automatic transmission vehicle must be in Reverse (R), Drive (D), or Sport Drive (S) and the foot brake must be depressed to keep the vehicle from moving.
4. To drive off, take your foot off the brake pedal and gently depress the accelerator within 2 seconds.
Hill Hold is immediately deactivated:
x If any requirement listed in the table above is no longer met.
x If the engine is not running smoothly or the engine malfunctions.
x If the engine stalls or is switched off.
x If the transmission is in Neutral (N).
x If a tire does not have enough road contact (such as when the vehicle is tipped or at an angle).
WARNING
The intelligent technology of Hill Hold cannot overcome the laws of physics. Never let the increased convenience provided by Hill Hold tempt you into taking risks.
x The Hill Hold feature cannot hold the vehicle in all hill start situations (for example, if the surface is icy or slippery).
x Hill Hold can only help keep the vehicle from moving for less than 2 seconds. After that, the brakes will be released and the vehicle can roll down the hill.

Automatic deactivation
Cruise control speed regulation is automatically deactivated or temporarily interrupted:
x If the system detects an error that could affect the function of the cruise control.
x If the vehicle has accelerated and goes faster than the stored speed for a longer time.
x If the brake pedal is depressed.
x If an airbag deploys.
