Drive program S (Sport)
Drive programSis characterized by the fol-
lowing:
Rth e vehicle exhibits sporty driving charac-
teristics .
Rthe entire power output can be utilized by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
E+ Economy Plus
Drive program E+is characterized by the fol-
lowing:
Rreduced 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 (110km/ h).
Rthe vehicle pulling away more gently in
forward gear unless the accelerator pedal
is depressed fully.
Rthe wheels are less likely to spin.
Rparticularly efficient overrun.
Rfull power output by using kickdown.
Rthe 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 (
Ypage 68).
XTo decrease recuperation:
pull right-hand
steering wheel paddle shifter ;.
XTo increase recuperation:pull left-hand
steering wheel paddle shifter :.
The various recuperation levels are shown in
the transmission position display once Dhas
been selected (
Ypage 134).
The following recuperation levels are availa-
ble in overrun mode:
Rno recuperation (D+, coasting mode)
Rmoderate recuperation (D )
Rhigh recuperation (D-)
Rrecuperation depending on the traffic sit-
uation (DAUTO, radar-based)
You can see the intensity of recuperation in
overrun mode by reading the recuperation
performance value shown in the power dis-
play (
Ypage 183).
Every time drive position Dis selected, the
transmission switches into recuperation level
D
AUTOautomatically.
