R Idle speed only occurs in cer tain instances.
Characteristics when starting theve hicle:
R Ifth e high-voltage battery is su1ciently

(silent start).

Depending on the system, it may be that even
th ough the high-voltage battery is charge d,
electric mode has restric ted or no availabilit y.
Once the combustion engine has been oper-
ated for long enough, electric mode is again
av ailable without restriction.
Charac teristics wi thmoderate po wer output
re qu ests:
R The combustion engine is switched o. as
oTen as possible during a journe y.
R The vehicle can, depending on the drive pro-
gr am selected and the state of charge ofthe
high- voltage batter y,be accelerated electri-
cally up tospeeds of appr oximately
140 km/h.
Characteristics with high po wer output requ ests:
R The electric mo tor supports the combustion
engine (boost e.ect), e.g. when pulling away
or accelerating.
R The high-voltage battery is discharging. Characteristics when
releasing the accelerator
pedal during a journe y:
R The electric mo tor is operated as an alternator
when in overrun mode and during braking.
R The high-voltage battery is charging.
No tes on elect ric mode:
R Vehicles with hybrid systems generate signi/-
cant lyless noise when stationary and when
being driven than vehicles with combustion
engines.
R When driving in elect ric mode, theve hicle may
not be heard by otherroad users due tothe
signi/cant lyreduced noise generated.
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 If not all of theve hicle conditions for electric
mode are met, then the combustion engine is
switched on.

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
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.

ECO Assist can function even more precisely if
th ero ute is adhered towhen route guidance is
active. The basic function is also available without
active route guidance. Not all information and
tra1c situations can be fore seen. The quality
depends on the map data.
ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsible
fo rke eping a safe distance from theve hicle in
front, forve hicle speed and for braking in good
time. The driver must be ready tobrake at all
times, ir respecti veof whe ther the system inter-

The following function is countr y-dependent
and available only in conjunction with an inte-

The route-based operating-mode strategy is active
only in drive prog rams A and;. When
ro ute guidance is active, data on the planned
ro ute is anal ysed. This function can be activated
and deactivated in the multimedia system
(/ page 294).
If th e function is active, data on the fur ther course
of thero ute is evaluated. This includes, e.g. road
type, speed limi tations and altitude data. The
hybrid system then adapts the operating
strategy tothe fur ther course of thero ute:
R Use of electrical energy and the combustion
engine are adap ted.
R State of charge ofthe high-voltage battery is
controlled accordingl y.
R Electrical energy is reser ved especially for
electric mode, e.g. urban route sections.
R The vehicle automatically selects the operat-
ing mode.
