Brake energy recuperation (charging)
When braking the vehicle, electric power is
generated through the electric engine and
stored in the high-voltage battery

Brake energy recuperation Fig. 134
On the selector lever: connect the
br ak e ener
gy recuperation. Fig. 135
On the instrument panel display: indi-
cation of r ecuperation l
evels.The brake energy recuperation can generate
a br
aking eff
ect. This br
aking 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 mov
es 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

Note
If the selector lever is left for a long time in
a position other than P with the ignition off,
the 12-v olt batt
ery may discharge.Driving with an automatic gearbox
Driving down slopes
The steeper the sl
ope
, the higher the selected
brake energy recuperation level will have to
be. A high recuperation level increases the
braking effect of the electric engine. Never let
the vehicle roll downhill with the selector lev-
er in the neutral position N.

If the electromechanical brake servo is not
w orking, the br
ak
e pedal must be pressed
harder, as the braking distance increases due
to the lack of assistance from the servo brake.
