vethefo llowing no tes on vehicle noise
emissions and the acoustic vehicle warning sys-
te m:
R The vehicle is equipped with a purely elect ric
drive system and de velops considerably lo wer
ve hicle noise emissions than vehicles with a
combustion engine.
It is forth is reason that theve hicle is equip-
ped with a sound generator, which ser ves as
an acoustic vehicle warning system (A VAS).
R The sound generator generates speed-depend-
ent vehicle noise emissions when driving
fo rw ard or backing up at a speed of up to
around 30 km/h.
This helps other road users, particular ly
pedest rians and cyclists, tohear your vehicle
better.
R When driving at speeds abo ve20 km/h The
ve hicle acoustic warning system gradually
switches o..
R Despi tethe sound generator, theve hicle still
may not be heard by otherroad users. Adapt

ARNI NGRisk of accident if ECO Assist
does not pr ovide su1cient deceleration
ECO Assist only brakes your vehicle when you
ta ke your foot o. thega s pedal. If vehicles are
de tected late, e.g. aTer tight cur ves, or if you
do not react immediately tothe ECO Assist
displa y,the deceleration may not be su1cient. #
React prom ptly to the ECO Assist recom-
mendation and take your foot o. thegas
pedal. #
Adjust your speed tothe driving condi-
tions and maintain a suitable distance
from theve hicle in front. #
Brake theve hicle yourself and/or take
ev asive action. ECO Assist is active only in
hÃ
(/ page 185).
Depending on theve hicle's equipment, ECO
Assist anal yses data forth eve hicle's expected
ro ute. This allo ws the system tooptimally adjust
th e driving style forth ero ute ahead, use minimal
energy and recuperate as much as possible. If the
system has de tected an event ahead or a vehicle in front and
theve hicle is approaching theev ent,
ECO Assist calculates the optimised speed pro/le
based on the distance, speed and available route
information.
If yo ure lease the accelerator pedal in this case,
intelligent recuperation starts in overrun mode. If
ECO Assist has de tected a vehicle tr avelling in
front or a stationary vehicle ahead, it can brake
yo ur vehicle toa standstill. This may be the case,
fo rex ample, at the end of a tra1c jam or if the
de tected vehicle ahead stops in front of you.
If th e deceleration pr ovided byECO Assist is not
su1cient, you must also brake with the service
brake.
At low speeds, e.g. in a multi-stor eycar park or on
play st reets, no adjustment is made for stationary
ve hicles and therefore there is no displa y. 1

If a route event ahead or a vehicle in front that
re qu ires an adjustment of your driving style is
de tected, cor responding symbol 2and theý
symbol (g rey) are displa yed.
If yo ure lease the accelerator pedal, theý

If necessar y,yo u can deactivate there strictions
of individual function groups again. This will
re duce the maximum range gain by theva lue
speci/ed forth e function group.
If yo u switch on a deactivated function while
ra nge maximization is activated, all restrictions of
th e cor responding function group will be remo ved
and the maximum range gain will be reduced
accordingl y.Fo rex ample, if you switch on the
seat heating again, all restrictions of the "Seating

This does not apply tothe ECO driving functions
gr oup, as thera nge gain in this case depends
mainly on your personal driving style. The activa-
te d ECO driving functions help youto drive in an
energy-e1cient manner. The speci/ed range gain

The 0exible all-wheel distribution of the 4MATIC
means the drive is alw ays ideal lydist ributed
between bo thaxles. Depending on the situation,
only the front axle or only there ar axle can be
driven, or the drive can be distributed continu-
ously between bo thaxles.
This means that recuperation can be used even
more e.ectively and thera nge of theve hicle can
be increased (/ page 184).
To get her with ESP ®
and 4ETS, 4MATIC impr oves
th e traction of your vehicle whene ver a driven
wheel spins due toinsu1cient traction.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce therisk of an accident nor override
th e la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take into account 192

ta ining a safe distance from theve hicle in front,

of the 0exible all-wheel distribution can be

leaving theve hicle idle for lengt hyperiods
of time Lithium-ion batteries
experience a natural self-
dischar ge.
Exhausti vedischarging can therefore occur if

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
