point of resis tance. Fu
nction of flexible all-wheel distribution
The flex ible all-wheel distribution means the
drive is alw ays ideally distributed between the
two axles. Depending on the situation, only the
front axle or only there ar axle can be driven, or
th e drive can be distributed continuously
between bo thaxles.
This allo ws the maximum recur rent delay tobe
achie ved (/ page149). The resulting recupera‐
tion increases theve hicle's range.
To get her with ESP ®
and 4ETS, theflex ible all-
wheel distribution impr ovesth e traction of your
ve hicle whene ver a driven wheel spins due to
insuf ficient traction.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, theflex ible
all-wheel distribution can neither reduce therisk
of accident nor override the la wsof ph ysics. It
cannot take into account road, weather or traf fic
conditions. The flex ible all-wheel distribution is only an aid.
You are responsible especially for
maintaining a safe dis tance from theve hicle in
front, forve hicle speed, for braking in good time
and forst ay ing in lane.
% In wint ryroad conditions, the maximum
ef fect of theflex ible all-wheel distribution
can be achie ved only if you use winter tyres
(M+S tyres), with sn ow chains if necessar y. Cha

TEHigh-vol tage battery damage due
to leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hy
periods of time Lithium-ion batteries
experience a natural
self-dis charge.
Exhaustive discha rging can therefore occur if
th eve hicle is idle for se veral mon ths. This
can damage the high-voltage batter y. #
Toavo id damage, please obser vethe

TEAccelerated ageing of the high-
vo ltage battery As a
result of its basic characteristics, the
st orage capacity of and the amount of energy
av ailable from the high-voltage battery
decreases overth e course of its life. There‐
fo re , bo th th e maximum electrical range that
can be achie vedby theve hicle and its maxi‐
mum electrical output can be impaired.
The following factors can accele rate the age‐
ing of the high-voltage battery:
R frequently fully charging (char gelevel
10 0%) the high-voltage batter y,especially
when this process is not directly follo wed
by a journey
R frequent rapid charging with direct cur‐
re nt (mode 4)
R leav ing theve hicle non-operational for
long periods at high ambient temp era‐
