Depending on the selected recuperation le vel,the
electric mo tor is operated as an alternator when
in ove rrun mode and during braking in order to
ch arge the high-voltage battery while driving. As
soon as youta ke your foot o. the accelerator
pedal when theve hicle is in motion and in trans-
mission position h,recuperation in overrun
mode is initiated.
The higher there cuperation, the more sharply the
ve hicle is braked when coasting and the more
electrical energy is fed into the high-voltage bat-
te ry.
The deceleration in overrun mode may not be suf-
fi cient depending on the driving conditions.
Decelerating toa standstill is not possible. Also
