Driving and operating
Maintain steady pressure on the
brake pedal as long as full braking is
required. Maximum brake force is
automatically reduced when brake
pedal is released.
Ride control systems
Electronic Stability Control
and Traction Control system
Electronic Stability Control improves
driving stability when necessary,
regardless of the type of road surface
or tyre grip.
Hill start assist
The system helps prevent unintended
movement when driving away on
inclines.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer / oversteer),
engine output is reduced and the
wheels are braked individually.
Electronic Stability Control operates
in combination with the Traction
Control system. It prevents the driven
wheels from spinning.
The Traction Control system is a
component of the Electronic Stability
Control.
The Traction Control system
improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip, by
preventing the driven wheels from
spinning.
When releasing the brake pedal after
stopping on an incline, brakes remain
on for further 2 seconds. The brakes
release automatically as soon as the
vehicle begins to accelerate.
To shift into B, push the selector lever
from D backwards.
To shift out of B, push the selector
lever from D backwards again.

Regenerative braking
Regenerative braking generates
electrical energy resulting from
engine braking to charge the high
voltage battery. Regenerative power
may be limited when the high voltage
battery is fully charged.
If the selector lever is in B, energy is
regenerated when the accelerator
pedal is lifted.
B can only be activated if the selector
lever is in D.
