An optional Range Extender can supply the

drive system with power and thus increase the

range of the vehicle.

Functions

Electric driving: eDRIVE

The vehicle is powered exclusively by the elec‐

tric motor. The accelerator pedal can be used

not just for acceleration, but also for decelera‐

tion. In this case, the electric motor works like

a generator and charges the high voltage bat‐

tery. With a sensible driving style, this function

can be used for especially efficient energy re‐

covery and comfortable driving, using just the

accelerator pedal.

Coasting

An especially efficient operating point is so-

called coasting. In this case, the vehicle is de‐

celerated only by driving resistance and no en‐

ergy flows between high-voltage battery and

electric motor. In order to coast, depress the

accelerator pedal far enough that the mark in

the instrument cluster, refer to page 75, is

exactly in the center.

Energy recovery: CHARGE

The high-voltage battery is charged while driv‐

ing through energy recovery.

The electric motor acts as a generator and

converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into

electric current.

Charging can take place in various situations

while the vehicle is in motion:

▷ As soon as the gas pedal is only slightly

depressed.

▷ During vehicle braking.

The mark in the instrument cluster is located

within the CHARGE range.

Sensible driving and early speed reduction are

important to make full use of the energy recov‐

ery feature.

Display

The eDRIVE displays, refer to page 75, pro‐

vide information about the current state of the

drive and visualize the system's use in a dia‐

gram.

Maximize energy-saving driving and

range

Energy-saving driving is the basic prerequisite

for as large a range as possible. eDRIVE pro‐

vides various functions that assist with an en‐

ergy-saving driving style and in the process

help to monitor the range and if needed to in‐

crease it. The following instructions provide an

overview of the available functions and the per‐

sonal measures.

Before driving

eDRIVE allows using the air conditioner even

before driving off. The stationary climate con‐

trol, refer to page 133, provides more range

than full air conditioning while driving.

Parked car ventilation during the charging

process can provide maximum range when

driving off.

Trip planning and special functions of

the navigation system

Several special functions of the navigation sys‐

tem support trip planning taking into account

the electric range:

▷ Range assistant, refer to Integrated Own‐

er's Manual. Checks whether an entered

navigation destination can be reached. If

the range is not sufficient, various recom‐

mendations to help increase the range are

displayed automatically, e.g. an alternative

ECO PRO route is displayed.

▷ Intermodal routing oder intermodal infor‐

mation, refer to Integrated Owner's

Manual, as route criterion support trip

planning using public transportation.
