146Driving and operatingAutomatic transmission
electrified
This vehicle is a plug-in hybrid
vehicle. It has a combustion engine
and an automatic transmission with
integrated electrical engine which
enables electrical driving and
charging of the battery during the
deceleration and the braking of the
vehicle. Additionally, the battery can
be charged using a cable, e.g., at
domestic electric outlets or public
charging stations. The all-wheel drive
version has a second electrical
engine for the rear axle.Gear selectionP:park position, front wheels are
locked, engage only when the
vehicle is stationary and the
parking brake is appliedR:reverse gear, engage only
when the vehicle is stationaryN/P:neutralD/B:automatic mode / automatic
mode with one-pedal driving
Do not accelerate while engaging a
gear. Never depress the accelerator
pedal and brake pedal at the same
time.
When a gear is engaged, the vehicle
slowly begins to creep when the
brake is released.Shifting in / out of P
To shift into P, press P on the selector
lever.
To shift out of P:
1. Depress brake pedal and press the release button.
2. To shift into R, push the selector
forwards beyond the point of
resistance.
To shift into D, push the selector
backwards beyond the point of
resistance.
To shift into N, push the selector
forwards or backwards without
passing the point of resistance.Shifting into R 1. Depress the brake pedal and press the release button.
2. Shift into R using the gear
selector.Shifting into / out of B
B can only be activated if D is
selected.

Driving and operating151Drive systems
Drive modes The plug-in hybrid vehicle provides
several drive modes.
The drive modes can be selected via
the drive mode selector. The selected
drive mode is indicated in the Driver
Information Centre and in the Driver
Info Display. Selecting a drive mode
is only possible if READY is displayed
in the instrument cluster.
Hybrid system active 3 95.
AWD
The all-wheel drive mode improves
the grip of the vehicle. The vehicle is
driven by front and rear axle.
Depending on the driving situation
and the charge level of the high
voltage battery, the vehicle can be
driven 100% electrically.
All-wheel drive 3 151
Sport
This mode combines the power of the combustion engine and the electrical
engine for a dynamic driving style.
Hybrid
Hybrid mode focuses on optimising
the vehicle's fuel consumption.
Combustion engine and electrical
engine operate together or in
alternation depending on driving
conditions and driving style.
Electric
In this mode, the vehicle is driven by
the electric engine only. Electric
mode is the default mode.Electric propulsion is available for
speeds below 84 mph.
All-wheel drive
The all-wheel drive system enhances
driving characteristics and stability,
and helps to achieve the best
possible driveability.
In all-wheel drive mode, the front axle is driven by the combustion engine or
the electrical engine, the rear axle is
driven by a second electrical engine.

206Driving and operatingreduced when driving on roads with
slight inclines (less than 8%, e.g.
motorways).
The permissible gross train weight
must not be exceeded. This weight is
specified on the identification plate
3 256.
Vertical coupling load The vertical coupling load is the load
exerted by the trailer on the coupling
ball. It can be varied by changing the
weight distribution when loading the
trailer.
The maximum permissible vertical
coupling load (70 kg) is specified on
the towing equipment identification
plate and in the vehicle documents.
Always aim for the maximum vertical
coupling load, especially in the case
of heavy trailers. The vertical coupling
load should never fall below 25 kg.Rear axle load
When the trailer is coupled and the
towing vehicle fully loaded, the
permissible rear axle load (see
identification plate or vehicle
documents) may be exceeded by
60 kg , the gross vehicle weight rating
must not be exceeded. If the
permissible rear axle load is
exceeded, a maximum speed of
60 mph applies.
Towing equipmentCaution
When operating without a trailer,
remove the coupling ball bar.
Fitting the coupling ball bar
Disengage and fold down the socket. Remove the sealing plug from the
opening for the coupling ball bar and
stow it.

Vehicle care233After initialisation system
automatically calibrates to new tyre
pressures during driving. After longer
drive the system will adopt and
monitor new pressures.
Always check tyre pressure with cold tyres.
System has to be reinitialised when: ● Tyre pressure has been changed
● Load condition has been changed
● Wheels have been swapped or exchanged
The system will not warn
instantaneously on a tyre blow out or a rapid deflation. This is due to
required calculation time.
Tread depthCheck tread depth at regular
intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).For safety reasons, it is
recommended that the tread depth of
the tyres on one axle should not vary
by more than 2 mm.
The legally permissible minimum
tread depth (1.6 mm) has been
reached when the tread has worn
down as far as one of the tread wear
indicators (TWI). Their position is
indicated by markings on the
sidewall.
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels periodically. Ensure that
the direction of rotation of the wheels
remains the same.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every 6 years.
Changing tyre and wheel
size
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the tyre
deflation detection system and make
other vehicle modifications.
Tyre deflation detection system
3 232.
Have the label with tyre pressures
replaced.9 Warning
The use of unsuitable tyres or
wheels may lead to accidents and will invalidate the vehicle
operating permit.

Vehicle care245Caution
Deactivate the driver assistance
systems like active emergency
braking 3 172, otherwise the
vehicle may automatically brake during towing.
Switch the selector lever to neutral.
Release the parking brake.
Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation and close the
windows.
Vehicles with automatic transmission: The vehicle must be towed facing
forwards, not faster than 50 mph nor further than 60 miles. In all other
cases and when the transmission is
defective, the front axle must be
raised off the ground.
Seek the assistance of a workshop. After towing, unscrew the towing eye.
Insert cap with the flange into the
recess and fix cap by pushing.
Towing a hybrid vehicle9 Warning
Always tow the vehicle on a
platform. Avoid towing the vehicle
with two or four wheels on the
ground.
If necessary, the vehicle can be
moved a few metres at a speed
below 6 mph.
Before moving the car: Switch on ignition, depress the brake pedal,shift to N and switch off ignition.
Ensure the vehicle is only towed
by well trained technicians.
Towing another vehicle
Remove the cap.
The towing eye is stowed with the
vehicle tools 3 229.
