wsanevaluation of your driv-
ing style on the driver's display depending on the
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
ot her if you drive e1cientl y.When all /ve stars are
/lled, a glow will appear in the backg round.

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
