Notes on plug-in hybrids

Stop the charging process immediately

in case of unusual odours, smoke or

burn marks.

Leave the danger zone immediately.

Secure the danger zone at a suﬃcient

distance.

%

Depending on the system, it may be the case

that even though the high-voltage battery is

charged, electric mode has restricted or no

availability. Once the combustion engine has

been operated for long enough and ambient

conditions permit, electric mode will be avail-

able again without restriction.

WARNING Risk of chemical burns and poi-

Characteristics with high power output requests:

The external noise of the sound generator is

perceptible in the vehicle interior at low

speeds and does not represent a malfunction.

If not all the vehicle conditions for electric

mode are met, the combustion engine will be

switched on.

Performance restrictions in electric mode are

possible as a result of the operating tempera-

ture of the high-voltage battery and drive sys-

tem, the ambient temperature and ageing of

the high-voltage battery.

In electric mode, the maximum power will not

be permanently available and may drop to

continuous output.

The engine will be switched oﬀ automatically in

the following situations if all vehicle conditions for

an automatic engine stop are met:

The brake system is designed for heavy loads.

This may lead to noise when braking. This eﬀect

can also occur aꢀer washing the vehicle.

Function of rear axle steering

R

You stop at a stop sign and there is no vehicle

in front of you.

The rear axle steering is an electromechanical

auxiliary steering on the rear axle which adjusts

the steering of the rear wheels according to the

position of the front wheels, depending on the

speed. This results in greater manoeuvrability and

improved driving stability, e.g. when cornering.

%

Have the brake system checked at a qualiﬁed

specialist workshop aꢀer it has been subjec-

ted to extreme loads.

The vehicle that stopped in front of you pulls

away again.

"Foot oﬀ the accelerator" recommendation

Route event ahead

ECO Assist analyses data for the vehicle's expec-

ted route. This allows the system to optimally

adjust the driving style for the route ahead, save

fuel and recuperate. If the system detects an

event ahead and the vehicle nears the event, ECO

Assist will calculate the optimum speed for maxi-

mum fuel economy and recuperative energy

based on the distance, speed and downhill gradi-

ent.

If the deceleration provided by ECO Assist is not

suﬃcient, you must also brake with the service

brake. This will be the case particularly if, for

example, you pull away again in slow-moving traf-

ﬁc and the distance to the vehicle in front is very

short.

If a route event or vehicle that requires an adjust-

ment of your driving style for more eﬃciency is

detected ahead, corresponding symbol 2 and

the ý symbol (grey) will be displayed.

If you release the accelerator pedal, the ý

symbol will turn green and recuperation in over-

run mode will be initiated. If the deceleration is

not suﬃcient, also apply the service brake. If ECO

Assist intervenes for a route event ahead (not for

a vehicle in front) and you then press the acceler-

ator pedal again, you will end control by ECO
