ectric drive system functions. Delivery of power from the electric engine
The maximum tor

ectric engine is
available immediately after pressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
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

Drive system and driving
Indication that the drive system is connec-
t ed
The el ectric engine does not gener
ate no-
ticeable noises neither when connecting the
drive system nor when it is running. Therefore,
it is not possible to recognise whether the
drive system is running based on the engine
noises. Instead, you can recognised that the
drive system is connected by the following
characteristics:
