tions, and around curves. The adaptive light only 
functions when the automatic headlights are ac- 
tivated. 
  
A WARNING 
— Follow the safety precautions and note the 
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and 
cameras > page 123. 
— Automatic headlights are only intended to 
assist the driver. They do not relieve  the 
driver of responsibility to check the head- 
lights and to turn them on manually based 
on the current light and visibility conditions. 
For example, fog cannot be detected by the 
light sensors. So always switch on the low 
beams ZO under these weather conditions 
and when driving in the dark.

Drive system 
The vehicle is able to recover energy by using “re- 
cuperation”. The electric drive system operates 
like a generator and converts a large portion of 
kinetic energy into electrical energy that is stored 
in the high-voltage battery. The vehicle is braked 
during recuperation, which is similar to the en- 
gine braking effect on a vehicle with a combus- 
90 
tion engine. This will happen automatically when 
you press the brake pedal while driving in “D” 
gear, or when you remove your foot from the ac- 
celerator pedal. 
When you press the brake pedal, recuperation is 
used to brake the vehicle. The brakes will only be 
activated if necessary. When driving normally, 
this makes it possible to brake using only recu- 
peration just before coming to stop and to lose 
little energy and range from braking. 
Setting options 
You can set how strongly the vehicle should be 
braked by recuperation while coasting. 
> Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen: 
VEHICLE > Charging & Efficiency > Efficiency 
assist > Recuperation. 
Automatic: the recuperation braking effect is ad- 
justed proactively* to the route or vehicles driv- 
ing ahead, for example. You can temporarily ad- 
just the braking effect by selecting a recuperation 
level with the shift paddles. 
Manual: the recuperation braking effect is con- 
trolled manually. You can select a recuperation 
level using the shift paddles. 
Settings 
using the shift paddles: 
» Select © for a stronger braking effect. 
> Select () for a weaker braking effect. 
  
ZA WARNING 
In certain situations, the recuperation may 
brake proactively. However, the recuperation 
braking effect is limited. Always be ready to 
brake to reduce the risk of an accident. 
       
G) Tips 
If the ESC is limited or switched off, automat- 
ic recuperation is not available and will not 
brake.

Assist systems 
General information 
Sica eel delay 
  
ZA WARNING 
— As the driver, you are always completely re- 
sponsible for all driving tasks. The assist 
systems cannot replace the driver's atten- 
tion. Give your full attention to driving the 
vehicle, and be ready to intervene in the 
traffic situation at all times. 
— Activate the assist systems only if the sur- 
rounding conditions permit it. Always adapt 
your driving style to the current visual, 
weather, road, and traffic conditions. 
— Unexpected steering or braking interven- 
tions may be initiated by the assist systems. 
Note the information on storing luggage 
items correctly > page 77. 
— For the assist systems to be able to react 
correctly, the function of the sensors and 
cameras must not be restricted. Note the in- 
formation on sensors and cameras 
=>page 124 or > page 125. 
  
    
G) Tips 
— Pay attention to applicable local regulations 
relating to driving tasks, leaving space for 
emergency vehicles, vehicle distance, speed, 
parking location, wheel placement, etc. The 
driver is always responsible for following 
the laws that are applicable in the location 
where the vehicle is being operated. 
— You can cancel a steering or braking inter- 
vention by the system by braking or acceler- 
ating noticeably, steering, or deactivating 
the respective assist system. 
— Always check the assist systems settings be- 
fore driving. The settings could have been 
changed, for example, by other drivers or if 
another personal profile was used. 
System limitations 
ZA\ WARNING 
—The use of an assist system cannot over- 
come the natural laws of physics. A collision 
cannot be prevented in certain circumstan- 
ces. 
  
— Warnings, messages, or indicator lights may 
not be displayed or initiated on time or cor- 
rectly,  for example, if vehicles are approach- 
ing very fast. 
— Corrective interventions by the assist sys- 
tems, such as steering or braking interven- 
tions, may not be sufficient or they may not 
occur. Always be ready to intervene. 
@) Tips 
— Due to the system limitations when detect- 
ing the surrounding area, the systems  may 
warn or intervene unexpectedly or too late 
in certain situations. The assist systems  may 
also interpret a driving maneuver incorrectly 
and then warn the driver unexpectedly. 
— The systems may not function as expected 
in unusual driving situations, such as driving 
offroad, on unpaved roads, on loose ground, 
on inclines, or on grooves in the road. 
  
    
— The systems may not function correctly in 
unclear traffic situations, such as turning 
lanes, exit ramps, construction zones, rises 
or dips that obstruct visibility, intersections, 
toll stations, or city traffic. 
—In trailer mode, some assist systems may be 
limited, may not react as usual, or may be 
unavailable. Please refer to the instructions 
for towing a trailer located in > page 120. 
— If accessories have been mounted on the 
steering wheel, the ability for the steering 
systems to react may be limited.
