wsanevaluation of your driv-

situation. This enables youto check the e1ciency
of your driving style and adjust it if necessar y.The
ECO display menu shows a ball 2that will roll
fo rw ards or backwards on a st ylised road in the
direction of tr avel according tothe driving charac-
te ristics.
Ab ove and below thero ad, lines mark the area for
an e1cient driving st yle 3. Ball 2will light up in
gr een if it is rolling within these lines. Outside the
lines, the ball will light up in orange. The ECO display assesses
thefo llowing criteria for
an economical driving st yle:
R coasting at theright time
R consistent speed
R moderate accele ration
The overall assessment of your driving style "from
start" is indicated using stars 1. It starts with
/ve em ptystars, which you can /ll one aTer the

Depending on the selected recuperation le vel,the
electric mo tors are operated as an alternator
when in overrun mode and during braking in order
to charge 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. Also
brake with the service brake if necessar y.Alw ays
adapt your speed tothe driving conditions and
ke ep a su1cient distance.
The recuperative brake system has thefo llowing
ch aracteristics:
R supports braking with elect ronically cont rolled
brake forc e boosting
R con verts th e kinetic energy of theve hicle into
elect ric energy
% Ifyo u brake hard, the mechanical brake is
also used. This means that the maximum
re cuperative energy cann otbe reco vered. The
more you drive and brake in an anticipatory
manner, the more e1cient lyenergy can be
re cuperated. 184

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-
age battery due tonot observing thefo l-
lowing recommendations As a
result of its basic characteristics, the
storage capacity of, and the amount of energy
av ailable from, the high-voltage battery
decreases over the course of its life. As a
re sult, the maximum electrical range that can
be achie vedby theve hicle is reduced and its
maximum electrical output can be impaired.
The following factors could accelerate the age-
ing of the high-voltage batter y:
R frequently fully charging (char gelevel
100%) the high-voltage batter y,especially
when this process is not directly follo wed
by a jou rney
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 Every six months, when the outside temp era-
ture is abo ve10 °C, park theve hicle overnight
with a charge leve l below 20%.
R Only charge the high-voltage battery with
direct cur rent (mode 4) if necessar y.
R Char gethe high-voltage battery on average to
a ch arge leve l of 80%. Be yond a charge leve l of
80%, thech arging time is considerably pro-
lon ged.
R If leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods,
park up theve hicle with a high- voltage battery
ch arge leve l between 30% and 50%. Do not
ke ep the high-voltage battery continuously
connected topowe r supply equipment. Driving and parking

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 210).
R Char gethe high-voltage battery if thech arge
le ve l is below 20%.
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.
Yo u can contribute toreducing theve hicle's
ene rgy consum ption in thefo llowing ways:
R An anticipatory driving style (/ page 184)
R Reduced use of electrical consumers
R Having theve hicle regula rly main tained
The charging time of the high-voltage battery may
ch ange over the course of its life.
% Depending on the national version, your vehi-
cle is equipped with one of thefo llowing vehi-
cle soc kets. Yo

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-
tiona ry:
- at a mains soc ket (mode 2)
- at a wallbox or charging station (mode 3)
R Charging with direct cur rent when stationar y:
- at a rapid 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 requ irements.
Consult a quali/ed elect rician or your local grid
operator if you ha veany questions. It is
recommended that youch arge the high-volt-
age battery at a wallbox or charging station due to
