Drive program S (Sport)
Drive program
Sis characterised by the follow-
ing:
R the vehicle exhibits sporty driving character-
istics
R the entire power output can be utilised by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
E+ (Economy Plus) Drive program
E+is characterised by the fol-
lowing:
R reduced torque and significantly reduced
power. This supports an especially efficient
and even driving style and results in a reduc-
tion in speed to approximately 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 the air-conditioning and
heating systems is reduced. Steering wheel gearshift paddles
Manually adjustable recuperation :
Left-hand steering wheel gearshift paddle -
; Right-hand steering wheel gearshift paddle
+
You can increase or reduce recuperation in over-
run mode using the steering wheel gearshift
paddles. 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 recuper- ated electrical energy is stored in the high-volt-
age battery. A higher energy recuperation level
means that the vehicle is braked more power-
fully.
If necessary, counteract the reduced regenera-
tive braking effect by applying the brake your-
self.
Information on the Recuperative Braking Sys-
tem (Y page 67).
X To decrease recuperation: pull right-hand
steering wheel gearshift paddle ;.
X To increase recuperation: pull left-hand
steering wheel gearshift paddle :.
The various recuperation levels are shown in the
transmission position display once Dhas been
selected (Y page 129).
The following recuperation levels are available in
overrun mode:
R no recuperation (D +
, coasting mode)
R moderate recuperation ( D)
R high recuperation ( D-
)
R recuperation depending on the traffic situa-
tion (D AUTO
, radar-based)
You can see the intensity of recuperation in
overrun mode by reading the recuperation per-
formance value shown in the power display
(Y page 173).
Every time drive position Dis selected, the
transmission switches into recuperation level

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 maximum
possible amount of kinetic
energy. D

Energy consumption and range
This range is reduced by:
R high and low outside temperatures
R a non-anticipatory driving style
R switching on consumers, e.g. air-conditioning
system or heating.
The battery's physical characteristics are such
that leaving the vehicle parked for an extended
period at low outdoor temperatures without
charging it can lead to:
R a reduction in battery performance
R longer charge times
In extreme cases, this could mean that the vehi- cle cannot be started. For this reason, connect
the charging cable when leaving the vehicle
parked for long periods at low outdoor temper-
atures.
As a result of its basic characteristics, the
amount of energy available from the high-volt-
age battery decreases over the course of its life.
This reduces:
R the maximum range that can be achieved by
the vehicle
R the maximum output (acceleration) of the
vehicle
You can actively reduce the energy consump-
tion of your vehicle in a number of ways, for
example, by:
R an anticipatory driving style
R reducing the use of electrical consumers
R having the vehicle regularly maintained
The charging time of the high-voltage battery
may change over the course of its life.
Observe the displays on energy usage
(Y page 178) and range (Y page 178).
RANGE PLUS If you activate RANGE PLUS, the operating win-
dow of the battery will be extended at the next
charging process. An extended driving range will
be available to you for the next journey.
Using RANGE PLUS shortens the service life of
the battery. Therefore, only use RANGE PLUS if, for example:
R long journeys are planned or
R the availability of charging stations at the des-
tination is limited The more often RANGE PLUS is used, the more
the extended range is reduced.
Therefore always check the range display for
every journey (Y
page 178). X
To switch on: press button:.
The green indicator lamp lights up.
X To switch off: press button:.
The indicator lamp goes out.
RANGE PLUS switches off automatically if:
R the charging cable is disconnected or
R the charging process is complete
