R the expected charge time of the high-voltage
battery or
R the RANGE PLUS condition of charge for the
departure time set
RANGE PLUS charges when:
R you have activated RANGE PLUS via the cen-
ter console prior to charging and
R the high-voltage battery is fully charged
If charging is not complete by departure time,
the maximum range will notbe available. Example:
R Set departure time: 6:41 a.m.
R End time for standard high-voltage battery
charging: 6:00 a.m.

by 50 percent.
Pre-entry climate control at time of depar- ture
If you activate the "Rem. Climate Control at
departure time" function, the vehicle interior is
heated or cooled prior to a desired departure
time. i
To heat or cool the vehicle interior for a
desired departure time, the high-voltage bat-
tery must be sufficiently charged. Activate the
climate control function primarily when the
high-voltage battery is being charged. You
must also set a departure time using the E-
E-
CELL

Introduction
General notes Display messages appear in the multifunction display.
Display messages with graphic displays may be shown in simplified form in the Operator's Manual
and may therefore differ from the multifunction display.
Please respond in accordance with the display messages and follow the additional notes in this
Operator's Manual.
Certain display messages are accompanied by an audible warning tone or a continuous tone.
When the ignition is switched off, all display messages are deleted, apart from some high-priority
display messages. Once the causes of the high-priority display messages have been rectified, the
corresponding display messages are also deleted.
When you stop and park the vehicle, please observe the notes on:
R HOLD function (Y page 138)
R Parking (Y page 128)
Hiding display messages X

The multifunction display hides the display message.
The multifunction display shows high-priority display messages in red. Some high-priority display
messages cannot be hidden.
The multifunction display shows these messages continuously until the causes for the messages
have been remedied.

message memory. You can call up
the display messages:

Possible causes are:

R The on-board voltage may be insufficient.
G WARNING
The braking performance of the electric motor using recuperative
braking may be either reduced or not effective. 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 brak-
ing effect by applying the brake yourself.
The brake system continues to function normally, but without the
functions listed above. The wheels could therefore lock if you brake
hard, for example.
The steerability and braking characteristics may be severely affected. The braking distance in an emergency braking situation can increase.
