Drive program
Sis characterized by the fol-
lowing:
R the vehicle exhibits sporty driving charac-
teristics.
R the entire power output can be utilized by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
Drive program E+is characterized by the fol-
lowing:
R reduced torque and significantly reduced
power. This supports an especially efficient
and even driving style and results in a
reduction in speed to approximately
70 mph (110 km/h).
R the vehicle pulling away more gently in
forward gear unless the accelerator pedal
is depressed fully.
R the wheels are less likely to spin.
R particularly efficient overrun.
R full power output by using kickdown.
R the performance of air-conditioning system
and heating are reduced. Steering wheel paddle shifters
Manually adjustable recuperation :
Left-hand steering wheel paddle shifter -
; Right-hand steering wheel paddle shifter
+
You can increase or reduce recuperation in
overrun mode using the steering wheel pad-
dle shifters. When you remove your foot from
the accelerator pedal, recuperation occurs.
The electric motor is then used as a alternator and energy is recovered while driving. The
recuperated electrical energy is stored in the
high-voltage battery. A higher energy recu-
peration level means that the vehicle is
braked more powerfully.
If necessary, counteract the reduced regen-
erative braking effect by applying the brake
yourself.
Information on the Recuperative Braking Sys-
tem (Y page 68).
X To decrease recuperation: pull right-hand
steering wheel paddle shifter ;.
X To increase recuperation: pull left-hand
steering wheel paddle shifter :.
The various recuperation levels are shown in
the transmission position display once Dhas
been selected (Y page 134).
The following recuperation levels are availa-
ble in overrun mode:
R no recuperation (D +
, coasting mode)
R moderate recuperation (D)
R high recuperation (D -
)
R recuperation depending on the traffic sit-
uation (D AUTO
, radar-based)
You can see the intensity of recuperation in
overrun mode by reading the recuperation
performance value shown in the power dis-
play (Y page 183).
Every time drive position Dis selected, the
transmission switches into recuperation level
D AUTO
automatically.
The various different levels are to be used
under the following conditions: D
+ Driving without much braking
and without the presence of
obstacles or sharp bends
The vehicle retains the maxi-
mum possible amount of kinetic
energy. D
