If ro ute guidance is active and theRoute-
based option has been activated, the electri-
cal energy is distributed intelligently over the
entire route. In built-up areas, electric mode is
prefer red, while on the mo torw ay the internal
combustion engine is used.
Wi th th eStandard option,theve hicle drives in
its standard drive prog ram ( Î Electric or

TE High-voltage battery damage due to
leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods
of time Lithium-ion batteries
experience a natural self-
dischar ge.
Exhausti vedischarging can therefore occur if
th eve hicle is idle for se veral months. This can
damage the high-voltage batter y. #

TE Accelerated ageing of the high-volt-

result of its basic characteristics, the
storage capacity of and the amount of energy
av ailable from the high-voltage battery
decrease over the course of its life. Due to Driving and parking
241
241

th
is, bo th the maximum electrical range that
can be achie vedby theve hicle and its maxi-
mum elect rical output can be impaired.
The following factors could accelerate the age-
ing of the high-voltage batter y:
R a high le vel of charge , especially if the
ve hicle is idle for a lengt hyperiod of time
R frequent rapid charging with direct cur rent
(mode 4)
R leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods
at high ambient temp eratures #
Toavo id accelerated ageing, please
obser vethefo llowing recommendations
when handling the high-voltage batter y.Re
commendations when handling the high-voltage
batter y:
R Only charge the high-voltage battery with
direct cur rent (mode 4) if necessar y.
R If leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods,
park up theve hicle with a high- voltage battery
ch arge leve l between 25% and 30%. Do not ke
ep the high-voltage battery continuously
connected topowe r supply equipment.
R If leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods of
time avoid, if possible, high ambient temp era-
tures.
R Check the high-voltage battery's charge level
ev ery six weeks (/ page 258).
R Char gethe high-voltage battery if thech arge
le ve l is below 15%.
R Do not disconnect the 12 V battery even if the
ve hicle is leT idle for a lengt hyperiod. Other-
wise, the condition of theve hicle's high- volt-
age battery cannot be monitored.

sion, your vehicle is equipped with one of thefo l-

Charging options forth e high-voltage battery
(mode 2, 3 or 4):
R Charging through recuperation while theve hi-
cle is in motion
R Charging with alternating cur rent when sta-

- at a mains soc ket (mode 2)
- at a wallbox or charging station (mode 3)
R Charging with direct cur rent when stationary
(vehicles with combo vehicle soc kets):
- at a fast charging station (mode 4)
Depending on the count ry-speci/c vehicle equip-
ment and your vehicle's charging cable, single
phase ACcharging is also possible.
Obser vethe di.erent grid requ irements of your
cur rent location when charging. Only use charging
cables which conform tothegr id requiremen ts.
Consult a quali/ed elect rician or your local grid
operator if you ha veany questions. It is
