.,. To turn on EV mode, press the 14" 1 button. The
indicator light i n the button w ill turn on . The
• indicator light also turns on in the instru­
ment cluster d isp lay.
T he funct ions and operating modes described be­
low are selec ted automat ica lly by the vehicle con­
tro l system , depend ing on the vehicle ope rating
stat us. This e nsur es t hat the vehicle is always in
the co rrect operating mo de. One exception is the
e n hanced ele ct ric dr iving mo de
(E V mode), wh ic h
is act ivated by the dr iver
¢ page 103.
Driving with the combustion engine
The vehicle is powe red by the combust ion eng ine .
The high vo ltage battery is charged s imultane­
ously , if needed.
Full acceleration (boost)
In full acceleration, the vehicle is powe red by
both the comb ust ion eng ine and t he e lec tric mo­
tor . T his operat ing mode is called
Boost and is
on ly available for a s hort amo unt of time because
i t uses so much energy. Av ailability depends o n
the hig h voltage batte ry cha rge level.
Th e boost operating mode is act ivated by p ress­
in g the ac celerator ped al all the way down.
Electric driving
T he vehicle can be driven completely e lec trically
depend ing on the high voltage battery charge
leve l and the driv ing resistance . The combust ion
e n gine t urns off a t that time .
Hybrid
The combustion engine s tarts when accelerati ng
o r when the high voltage battery cha rge level
drops below a ce rtain t hreshold . The vehicle re ­
s u mes electric driving once the acceleration and
the high vo ltage battery charge leve l permit .
Enhanced electric driving mode (EV mode)
Pressing the
l.al"I button ¢ fig. 117 can extend the
u su a l lim its on e lectr ic driving so that you can a l­
ways dr ive in e lectric mode, if the cond ition o f
the e lectr ica l system permits. The operating
mode is the n set to maximum e lectr ic dr ive @ ,
@¢ page 101, fig. 116 . It can be d riven com­
pletely e lect rically fo r up to 1.8 miles (3 km) at a
constant
37 mp h (60 km/h) .
The following conditions must be met to activate
the e nhanced electric drive:
- The high vo ltage battery m ust be s ufficiently
charged .
- The temperatu re of the
1 2 volt batteries an d
the high voltage battery must be sufficient.
- The ve hicle speed must not be h igher than
62 mph (100 k m/h).
- The transmission must not be in tipt ronic
mo de.
- O ffroad mode an d hill descen t ass ist mus t not
be turne d on

The combustion engine turn s on and interrupts
t h e e nhanced ele ct ric dr ive mode when t he vehi­

B al­
so t urns on in the disp lay. The e nhanced electric
drive mo de resumes automatically once acce le ra­
t ion stops.
T he enhanced electric drive mode is deactivated
if at least one of the followi ng cond itions is met :
- The igni tion is tur ned off.
- Th e
l~· I button is pressed again .
- The high vo ltage battery charge level is low .
- The vehicle speed is higher than approximately
62 mph (100 km/h) .
- The

c::> page 22 7 or c::> page 266.
Vehicle not ready to start. See owner's
manual
This message appears if the high voltage battery
charge level is too low. The vehicle can no longer
be started with its own power. The high voltage
battery must be charged with a charger or the ve­
h icle must be jump started with the aid of anoth­
er vehicle.
After the connecting the charger or jumper ca­
bles, the ignition must be turned off for approxi­
mately two minutes and then turned on again .
After no more than one m inute, one of the fol­
lowing indicator lights turns on in the instrument
cluste r display .
B Charging battery. Please wait ...
If the indicator light turns on and this message
appears, the high voltage battery is charg ing or
the vehicle is be ing jump started with assistance
from another veh icle .
If the 12 volt batteries are dead, the- indi­
cator light turns on . The charging procedure
takes longer in this case because the 12 volt bat­
ter ies are charged first. The procedure goes fast­
er with the ig nition sw itched off.
Vehicle ready to start.
This message appears if the charging procedure
was successful. The vehicle may be started again .
Battery could not be charged enough to start
vehicle .
This message appears if the charging procedure
was not successful or it was interrupted. Th is
may happen if the charger or the battery in the
veh icle that is assisting is too weak.
If the veh icle
can not be started, see an authorized repa ir facil i­
ty for ass istanc e.
(D Tips
-The charger should deliver a current of at
l east 30 A. Otherwise charging the high
voltage battery will take considerably Ion-
108
ger. A current between 50 A and 70 A is ide ­
al.
- Th e veh icle that is assisting should be some­
what within the same vehicle class when
jump starting a vehicle. A smaller vehicle's
battery may be drained.
- After approximately 30 minutes, the charg­
ing procedure ends because the ignit ion is
automatically turned off. If you would like
to cont inue to charge the battery, turn the
ignition on again.

Side assist helps you monitor your bl ind spot and
traffic behind your vehicle. Within the limits of
the system , it warns you about vehicles that are
comi ng closer o r that are traveling with you with­
in sensor range
(D c:> fig. 133 . If a lane c hange is

(D Vehicles that are approaching
In ce rtain cases, a vehicle will be classified as
cr itica l for a lane change even if it is still some­
what far away. The faste r a ve hicle app roaches,
t he soo ner the d isplay in the exterio r mirror w ill
t urn on.
@ Vehicles traveling with you
Vehicles traveli ng w ith you are ind icated i n the
exte rior m irro r if they are classified as critical for
a lane change. All vehi cles detec ted by side assist
Aud i side assist
are ind icate d by the time they ente r your "blind
spot", at the latest.
@ Vehicles left behind
If you s low ly pas s a vehi cle that s ide ass ist has
de te cted ( the differe nce in speed between t he
vehicle and you r vehicle is less than 9 mph or
15 km/h), the disp lay in t he exterior mirro r turns
o n as soon as the vehicle e nters your blind spot.
T he disp lay w ill not turn on if you quickly pass a
vehicle th at side ass ist h as de te cte d (t he differ­
ence in speed between the vehicle and your vehi ­
cle is greater tha n 9 mp h or 15 km/h) .
Functional limitations
The radar se nsors are des igned to detect the le ft
and right adj ace nt lane s when the ro ad l anes are
the normal width . In certa in situations, the dis­
play in the exterior mirror may turn on eve n
though there is no vehicle located in the area
that is critical for a lane change. For example:
- if the lanes a re narrow or i f yo ur are dr iv ing on
the edge o f you r lane. If t his is the case, the
system may have detected t he vehicle in anoth ­
er lane that is
not adjacent to your cu rrent lane.
- if you are dr iv ing through a curve. Si de assist
may react to a vehicle that is one lane over
from the adjacent lane.
- if s ide assist reacts to ot her objects (such as
high or disp laced guard ra ils).
- In poor weather conditions. The side assist
fu nctions a re limited .
D o no t cover the r adar senso rs

dren and animals. The rearview camera can­
not always detect them, posing risk of an
accident!
- Please note that objects not touching the
ground can appear to be further away than
they really are (for example, the bumper of
a parked vehicle, a trailer hitch, or the rear
of a truck). In this case, you should not use
the help lines to help with parking, which
poses danger of an accident!
(D Note
In the MMI display, the direction of travel of
the vehicle rear is represented depending on
the steering wheel angle. The vehicle front
swings out more than the vehicle rear. Main­
tain plenty of distance so that your outside
mirror or a corner of your vehicle does not col­
lid e with any obstacles. This can damage to
your vehicle.
