lever as far as possible upwards or down-
wards and release the lever. The turn signal
will flash three times.
The convenience indicators can be deactiva-

beam of the headlight to the level of load of
the vehicle. This offers the driver optimum vis-

The headlights can only be adjust ed when

open a door or remove the key from
the ignition.
The light goes out a few seconds after
closing all the doors, when locking the
vehicle or connecting the ignition.

The light is activ
at

ed when the rear lid is
open, even when the ignition and lights are turned off. For this reason, ensure that the
rear lid is al

ways closed. Note
If not all the vehicle doors are closed, the
int erior lights will be s

witched off after ap-
prox. 10 minutes, providing the ignition key
has been removed and the courtesy light
position selected. This prevents the battery
from discharging. Visibility

Introduction The Climatr
onic
cools and dehumidifies the
air. Its optimum performance is achieved with
the windows closed.
To switch a specific function on, press the ap-
propriate button. Press the button again to
switch off the function.
The LED on each control lights up to indicate
that the respective function of a control has
been switched on.
Dust and pollen filter
The dust and pollen filter with its activated
charcoal cartridge serves as a barrier
against impurities in the air taken into the ve-
hicle interior.
The dust and pollen filter must be changed
regularly so that air conditioner performance
is not adversely affected.
If the filter loses efficiency prematurely due to
use in areas with very high levels of air pollu-
tion, the filter must be changed more fre-
quently than stated in the Service Schedule. WARNING
Reduced visibility through the windows in-
cr eases the risk of serious accidents.

Drive system and driving
Brake energy recuperation Fig. 135
On the selector lever: connect the
br ak
e energy recuperation. Fig. 136
On the instrument panel display: indi-
cation of r ecuper

ation levels. The brake energy recuperation can generate
a br
aking eff

ect. This braking effect depends
on the selected driving programme and the
level of charge of the high-voltage battery. When braking the vehicle and when the vehi-
cle mo

ves by inertia or travels downhill in the
deceleration phase, electric power is gener-
ated by the electric engine and stored in the
high-voltage battery. The electric engine
then operates as an alternator and produces
a engine brake effect. This process is called
brake energy recuperation.
The status of the recuperation is indicated in
the power display of the instrument panel
››› page 61. When recuperation is active, the
needle goes to the green area of the display.
The current recuperation level is displayed on
the instrument panel display ››› Fig. 136.
Given the case, in the application installed on
the smartphone you can view a statistic of
the energy recuperated over the last 30 mi-
nutes. Check the electronic instruction man-
ual of the application for this.
The effect of the engine brake is more or less
intense depending on the level of recupera-
tion. If the recuperation is very intense, the
brake light of the vehicle may also be switch-
ed on. As the charge level of the high-voltage
battery increases, the recuperation reduces
and, thus, the effect of the engine brake.
When the high-voltage battery is fully charg-
ed, no energy recuperation takes place and
the effect of the engine brake is not available.
When the vehicle detects that road condi-
tions do not allow safe contact between the
wheels and the road, the energy recupera- tion is automatically reduced and, therefore,
the effect of the engine br
ake ››› .
Sel ect a r
ecuperation level
There are a total of 4 brake energy recupera-
tion levels. You can switch between recupera-
tion levels 1 to 3 by pressing the selector lever
slightly sideways towards ››› Fig. 135

Braking and parking
If the electromechanical brake servo is not
w orking, the br
ake pedal must be pressed
harder, as the braking distance increases due
to the lack of assistance from the servo brake.
Brake blending
The brake energy recuperation can generate
a braking effect ››› page 139. This braking ef-
fect depends on the selected driving pro-
gramme and the level of charge of the high-
voltage battery. If the braking effect caused
by the recuperation is very intense, the vehi-
cle’s brake lights with turn on. The electric en-
gine, when operating as an alternator, can
generate braking torque on the front wheels
based on the RPM and the temperature and
charge level of the high-voltage battery.
These variable parameters cause fluctuating
electric decelerations which are hydraulical-
ly compensated according to the driver’s de-
sires. This function is called “brake blending”
and it combines mechanical braking with the
engine brake effect. WARNING
Driving at high speed on icy, slippery wet
gr ound can r

esult in loss of vehicle control
and serious injury to the driver and passen-
gers.
