Concept
The
combustion
engine
is
automatically
stopped
and
disengaged
from
the
drivetrain.
This
driving
condition
of
rolling
is
referred
to
as
coasting.
After
coasting,
the

provides
the
necessary

depending
on
the

Acoustic
pedestrian
protectionConcept
Depending
on
the
country-specific
version,
the system
generates
a
continuous
driving
noise
at
standstill
with
the
drive-ready
state
activated
and
during
electric
driving
up
to
approx.
20
mph/30
km/h.
A
speaker
system
broadcasts
the
noise
to
the
surroundings.
As
a
result,
other
traffic
participants,
for
instance pedestrians
or
cyclists,
can
better
perceive
the
vehicle.
Driving
with
the combustion
engine: POWER
Concept
The
combustion
engine
provides
the
main
drive
power
to
move
the
vehicle.
If
necessary,
the
high-voltage
battery
is
charged
at
the
same
time.
Functional
requirements
Automatic
starting
while
driving The
combustion
engine
is
automatically
started
under
the
following
conditions
while
driving:
'xDuring
intense
accelerations
or
on
uphill
grades.'xBy
pressing
the

When
reducing

when
the
conditions
for
electric

Assistance
from
the electric
motor
Concept The
combustion
engine
provides
the
main
drive
power
to
move
the
vehicle.
The
electric
motor
provides
assistance
as needed
with
additional
propulsive
power.
eASSIST
During
normal
vehicle
operation,
the
electric
moj tor
assists
the
combustion
engine,
depending
on
the
situation.
eBOOST Accelerating
quickly,
such
as
when
passing,
rej
quires
the
maximum
available
power
from
the
electric
motor.
To
do
this,
apply
extra
force
to
the accelerator
pedal.
Energy
recovery:
CHARGE
Concept
The
hybrid
system
makes
it
possible
to
convert
kinetic
energy
into
electrical
energy
during
brakj
ing
and
coasting.
This
recovered
energy
charges the
high-voltage
battery.
If
necessary,
this
stored
electrical
energy
is
output
to
the
electric
motor.
General
information
Depending
on
the
settings
of
the
Driving
Dynamj ics
Control,
refer
to
page
144,
the
high-voltage
battery
is
charged
at
different
speeds
and
the
