E+ Economy Plus
Drive program
E+is characterized 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 70 mph
(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 air-conditioning system
and heating are reduced. Steering wheel paddle shifters
Manually adjustable recuperation 0043
Left-hand steering wheel paddle shifter -
0044 Right-hand steering wheel paddle shifter +
You can increase or reduce recuperation in over- run mode using the steering wheel paddle shift-
ers. When you remove your foot from the accel-
erator pedal, recuperation occurs. The electric
motor is then used as a alternator and energy is recovered while driving. The recuperated elec-
trical energy is stored in the high-voltage bat-
tery. A higher energy recuperation level means
that the vehicle is braked more powerfully.
If necessary, counteract the reduced regenera-
tive braking effect by applying the brake your-
self.
Information on the Recuperative Braking Sys-
tem (Y page 64). X
To decrease recuperation: pull right-hand
steering wheel paddle shifter 0044.
X To increase recuperation: pull left-hand
steering wheel paddle shifter 0043.
The various recuperation levels are shown in the
transmission position display once Dhas been
selected (Y page 112).
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 153).
Every time drive position Dis selected, the
transmission switches into recuperation level
D AUTO
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
Normal driving
D
- Sporty driving or driving on a
downhill gradient
The brake pedal does not need to
be used as often because the
extent of the deceleration is
greater than in D.
Energy use when decelerating is
considerably higher than when
the vehicle is braked with the
brake pedal. D
AUTO
(radar-
based) The intensity of recuperation is
automatically adjusted to the cur-
rent traffic situation.
Default setting In levels
Dand D-
, deceleration can be control-
led in an infinitely variable manner using the
accelerator pedal. Transmission

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 158) and range (Y page 158).
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 before
every journey (Y page 158). X
To switch on: press button0043.
The green Indicator lamp lights up.
X To switch off: press button0043.
The indicator lamp goes out.
RANGE PLUS switches off automatically if:
R the charging cable is disconnected or
R the charging process is complete

Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards
A uniform standard to grade the quality of tires
with regards to tread quality, tire traction and
temperature characteristics. The quality grad-
ing assessment is made by the manufacturer
following specifications from the U.S. govern-
ment. The ratings are molded into the sidewall of the tire.
Recommended tire pressures
The recommended tire pressure applies to the
tires mounted at the factory.
The Tire and Loading Information placard con-
tains the recommended tire pressures for cold
tires on a fully loaded vehicle and for the maxi-
mum permissible vehicle speed.
The tire pressure table contains the recommen-
ded pressures for cold tires for various operat-
ing conditions, i.e. differing load and speed con-
ditions.
Increased vehicle weight due to optional
equipment
The combined weight of all standard and
optional equipment available for the vehicle,
regardless of whether it is actually installed on
the vehicle or not.
Rim
This is the part of the wheel on which the tire is
mounted.
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating)The GAWR is the maximum gross axle weight
rating. The actual load on an axle must never
exceed the gross axle weight rating. The gross
axle weight rating can be found on the vehicle
identification plate on the B-pillar on the driver's
side.
Speed rating
The speed rating is part of the tire identification.
It specifies the speed range for which the tire is approved.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight)
The gross vehicle weight includes the weight of
the vehicle including fuel, tools, the spare wheel, accessories installed, occupants, luggage and
the drawbar noseweight, if applicable. The gross vehicle weight must not exceed the gross vehi-
cle weight rating GVWR as specified on the vehi-
cle identification plate on the B-pillar on the
driver's side. GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
The GVWR is the maximum permissible gross
weight of a fully loaded vehicle (the weight of the
vehicle including all accessories, occupants,
fuel, luggage and the drawbar noseweight, if
applicable). The gross vehicle weight rating is
specified on the vehicle identification plate on
the B-pillar on the driver's side.
Maximum loaded vehicle weight
The maximum weight is the sum of:
R the curb weight of the vehicle
R the weight of the accessories
R the load limit
R the weight of the factory installed optional
equipment
Kilopascal (kPa) Metric unit for tire pressure. 6.9 kPa corre-
sponds to 1 psi. Another unit for tire pressure is
bar. 100 kilopascals (kPa) are the equivalent of
1 bar.
Load index
In addition to the load-bearing index, the load
index may also be imprinted on the sidewall of
the tire. This specifies the load-bearing capacity more precisely.
Curb weight
The weight of a vehicle with standard equipment
including the maximum capacity of fuel, oil and
coolant. It also includes the air-conditioning sys- tem and optional equipment if these are instal-
led in the vehicle, but does not include passen-
gers or luggage.
Maximum load rating
The maximum tire load is the maximum permis- sible weight in kilograms or lbs for which a tire is
approved.
Maximum permissible tire pressure
Maximum permissible tire pressure for one tire.
Maximum load on one tire
Maximum load on one tire. This is calculated by dividing the maximum axle load of one axle by
two. 274
