@ Tips
- Switching off the dimming function of the

-Automatic dimming for the m irror only op
erates properly if the light striking the in
side mirror is not hindered by other objects.

Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning system helps you to keep your
driving speed below a set speed limit.
The speed warning sys tem warns if the driver ex
ceeds a prev iously stored maximum speed. A
warning tone will sound as soon as the vehicle
speed exceeds t he set speed by abo ut
3 mph
(3 km/h). At the same time, a warning sym bol
appe ars in t he display . Th e symbol's appea ran ce
might be different in some models .
The spe ed wa rni ng system has
two warning
thre sholds
that fu nction inde pendently of eac h
other and tha t have somewha t diffe ren t p urpos
es:
Speed warning 1
You can use speed war ning 1 to set the maxim um
speed wh ile you are d riv ing. This setting will re
main in effec t until yo u turn off the ig nition, as
s u ming tha t you have not changed or reset the
setting .
The speed wa rn ing symbol . (USA models)/ .
(C an ada model s) in the warning

goes ou t when the speed falls be low the stored
max imum speed .
The speed warni ng symbol will also go o ut if the
speed
excee ds the stored maxim um speed by
more than abo ut
2 5 mph (4 0 km/h) for at least

Hybrid
St art-Stop function
The combust ion engine is operated only as need
ed . Genera lly, the combustion engine turns
off
when the vehicle is stationary and the high volt
age battery powers the electrical vehicle sys
tems .
The purpose o f automatica lly shutting the com
bustion engine
off in hybrid drive mode is to save
fue l. All of the important vehicle systems, such
as steering, brakes and the A/C system, contin ue
to remain active. In some cases, systems may re
qu ire the combustion engine to continue running
when the vehicle is stationary. When driv ing in
congested traffic for long periods of t i me, the
combustion engine will cycle on when the veh icle
is stationa ry to keep the h igh voltage battery
charged .
Gliding
If the gas pedal is not pressed and the D position
is selected, the combustion engine rema ins
turned
off up to speeds of approximate ly 99 mph
(160 km/h). Dr iving conse rvative ly like this can
r educe fue l consumpt ion.
Energy recovery (recup eration )
When braking, the e lectr ic motor will act as a
generator creating electric energy that is then
s to red in the h igh voltage batte ry. This also oc
curs when the ve hicle is coas ting or dr iv ing down
hi ll. The combust ion engine is automatically
turned
off in t his case.

The vehicle is braked with the electric motor by
applying early and even press ure to t he brakes
and us ing short pedal movements¢
page 99,
fig. 110@. By do ing th is, a large amount of the
k inet ic energy is recovered and may be stored as
electric energy in the high voltage batte ry. Dur
i ng heavy braking, the convent ional brakes are al
so act ivated
¢ page 99, fig . 110 @.
The energy recovery is shown in the MMI display
¢page 105 .
Automatic start of the combu stion engine
Various operating conditions cause the combus
tion eng ine to start a utomatica lly :
- T he high vo ltage battery charge leve l is low.
- T he temperature of the combustion engi ne is
low.
- Th e temperature of the cataly tic converte r is
low.
- T he power output needed for the A/C system is
high.
- T he veh icle speed is high .
- The vehicle acceleration is h igh .
- The incline is steep.
- High charge level for the high voltage battery
when coasting. In this case, the hig h voltage
battery cannot absorb any more ene rgy and so
the electric motor cannot s low down the veh i
cle. The combustion engine tur ns on (eng ine
brake) . In this situation the high voltage bat
tery will show a Max cha rge.
Vehicle behavior
In the D posit io n, the hybrid system adapts
to the driving s ituat ion by automatically
sw itch ing between the combust io n engine

them.

The same applies to the high voltage battery if it
is d ischarged . However, in this case, the charging
process is accompanied w ith messages in the in
strument cluster display. The ignition must be
switched on and a ll unnecessary electric compo -
nents must be turned off.
