Vehicle equipment

Adaptive recuperation

This chapter describes equipment, systems

and functions which are offered or may be of-

fered in future on a model-specific basis, even

if they are not included in the vehicle in ques-

tion.

Principle

Adaptive recuperation supports an anticipatory

and comfort-oriented driving style.

Map data and various sensors analyse the cur-

rent driving situation, for example the distance

to the vehicle in front.

For further information:

Vehicle equipment, see page 8.

General

Adaptive recuperation is available depending

on vehicle equipment and national-market ver-

sion.

Reducing fuel consumption

Principle

Based on the situation, the system decides

whether energy is recovered through recupera-

tion, or how the vehicle rolls.

The vehicle has a wide range of technologies

for reducing consumption and emissions.

Some measures can influence fuel consump-

tion and environmental pollution:

In vehicles with mild hybrid technology, the

power of recuperation is adaptive, which cau-

ses the vehicle to decelerate at different rates

while coasting.

▷

Remove unnecessary loads from the vehi-

cle.

Remove add-on parts after use, for exam-

ple a rear carrier.

Activating/deactivating adaptive

recuperation

Adaptive recuperation is deactivated by acti-

vating SPORT drive mode.

Close the windows and the electric glass

sunroof while driving.

Check the tyre inflation pressure regularly

and increase if necessary.

When changing to another drive mode, adap-

tive recuperation is activated.

Switch off the engine if stopping for a lon-

ger period.

Display

Use anticipatory driving and let the vehicle

roll more often, for example.

Display in the instrument cluster

Adaptive recuperation can be displayed on the

instrument cluster.

Deactivate functions that are not required,

for example rear window heating.

Have the vehicle serviced regularly.

DRIVING HINTS

Display on the control display

Adaptive recuperation can be displayed on the

control display.

Operating requirements

▷

Selector lever position D is engaged.

Brake is not depressed.

For further information:

Accelerator pedal is not operated.

Current driving condition, see page 175.

System detects a calm and smooth driving

style.

▷

Engine and transmission are at operating

temperature.

Coasting

The system does not detect any obstructive

traffic situations or routes.

Principle

The drivetrain allows efficient coasting in the

D selector lever position with minimal deceler-

ation. This drive state is called coasting. This

reduces fuel consumption.

The function is available in the speed range

from approx. 25 km/h, 16 mph to 160 km/h,

100 mph.

Vehicles with mild hybrid technology do not

consume fuel while coasting.

Operation via shift paddles

Principle

General

Depending on the equipment, the coasting

drive state can be controlled via the shift pad-

dles.

An anticipatory driving style helps to use the

function frequently and supports the consump-

tion-reducing effect of coasting.

Coasting is automatically adapted to the driv-

ing situation in question.

Activating/deactivating coasting via

shift paddles

Operate the right-hand shift paddle for longer

to activate.

the coasting drive state is displayed in the Live

Vehicle menu as efficient coasting.

For further information:

Operate the left-hand shift paddle to deacti-

vate.

Current driving condition, see page 175.

System limits

Examples of driving situations

▷

In the case of navigation data that is inva-

lid, outdated or not available.

If a distance can be covered without foreseea-

ble braking, it is advantageous to roll this dis-

tance.

If there are country-dependent restrictions

on map-based route sections.

The following examples of driving situations

may be suitable for this:

With a temporary and variable speed limit,

such as at road works.

▷

Rolling on straight downhill gradient with

no obstacles.

▷

If Cruise Control is active.

▷

Rolling to a stop on a section of route with-

out obstacles.

If the sensors are faulty, soiled or covered.

Driving in the handling limit range or on

steep uphill or downhill gradients.

Avoid late or heavy braking.

Efficiency Coach

Principle

The engine is disconnected from the transmis-

sion in selector lever position D when certain

conditions are met. The vehicle rolls in idle

to optimise consumption. Selector lever posi-

tion D remains engaged.

The system provides assistance for a predic-

tive and comfort oriented driving style. For this

purpose, map information and sensor data is

used to analyse the current driving situation,

such as upcoming speed limits and vehicles

driving in front. Based on this information, the

driver receives notices for an efficient driving

style early on. The efficiency of the driving style

is evaluated in the control display and shown

in three categories.

The extended range that is achieved by adopt-

ing these tips is shown in the instrument clus-

ter as a bonus range.

Overview

General

The system has different displays to support

the driver with an efficient driving style.

Operating requirements

DRIVING HINTS

▷

Excessive acceleration.

Excessive speed.

Special route section, for example round-

about, ahead.

In addition, a deceleration notification is dis-

played.

System limits

For example, the function is not available in

the following situations:

The efficient range of the power display is col-

oured blue. Additionally, the bonus range will

be displayed.

▷

If Cruise Control is active.

In trailer operation.

The efficient range is adjusted depending on

the driving situation.

If the power display moves within the blue

range, the current driving style is efficient. The

display will change to grey if the driving style is

inefficient.

Anticipatory driving style

Principle

The display informs the driver about deceler-

ations ahead, for example, speed limit reduc-

tions or roundabouts, even when they are not

yet visible. The situation-specific information

and distance to the route section ahead is

shown above the current speed limit in the in-

strument cluster. If there is a notice, the speed

can be reduced in an energy-saving way by

coasting using the corresponding accelerator

pedal position until the section of road is

reached.

Bonus range

It is possible to achieve a range

extension by adjusting the driv-

ing style.

The range extension is dis-

played as the bonus range in

the instrument cluster.

If the bonus range is shown in grey or hidden,

the current driving style is inefficient.

The display turns blue as soon as all the con-

ditions for consumption-optimised driving are

met.

Display in the instrument cluster

The intervals for resetting the bonus range de-

pend on the trip data settings.

Display inefficient driving style

When driving above the efficient range,

an arrow will be displayed.

For example, the display occurs in the

following situations:

A note regarding a section of the route ahead

is given as a recommendation to allow the ve-

hicle to roll.
