drive system is running and:
R the Drive Battery Reserve Level

sage appears in the display
R the indicator lamp in the instrument cluster

Charge the high-voltage battery from a condi-
tion of charge of less than 20% at:
R an electrical outlet
R a charging station
The braking performance of the electric motor
using recuperative braking is, in some operating
modes, either reduced or not effective:
R when the condition of charge of the high-volt-
age battery increases
R if the high-voltage battery is not yet at a nor-
mal operating temperature
R when the vehicle is almost stationary
R in transmission position N
R during and after ESP stability control
If you do not make an additional effort to apply
the brake yourself, the braking effect may not be
sufficient. If necessary, counteract the reduced regenerative braking effect by applying the
brake yourself. Operating the on-board computer
