# Switching high brake energy recuperation B on and off
|
|
|
|
Carry out the following actions to activate high brake energy recuperation B:
|
|
|
|
1. Turn the driving mode selector forward once from the D/B position. The driving mode selector always moves back to its original position when released.
|
|
2. Turn the driving mode selector in forward direction again to change to the D position.
|
|
|
|
# Description of positions
|
|
|
|
D Continuous position for forward driving - the electric drive is in normal mode. Brake energy recuperation takes place automatically if Eco Assistance is activated.
|
|
|
|
B High brake energy recuperation in overrun.
|
|
|
|
N The electric drive is in the neutral position. No force is transmitted to the wheels and the braking effect of the electric drive is not available.
|
|
|
|
R Reverse gear. Select only when the vehicle is stationary.
|
|
|
|
The drive wheels are locked mechanically. Switch on only when the vehicle is stationary.
|
|
|
|
# Driving down hills
|
|
|
|
Brake energy recuperation should be used if possible when driving down hills.
|
|
|
|
# Stopping and pulling away on uphill gradients
|
|
|
|
If you wish to stop the vehicle or pull away when driving uphill you should use the Auto Hold function.
|
|
|
|
When you stop the vehicle on an uphill gradient with a selected position, the vehicle must always be prevented from rolling by depressing the brake pedal or by applying the electronic parking brake. Release the brake pedal only when you pull away.
|
|
|
|
# Crawling function
|
|
|
|
If a gear has been selected and the brake pedal is released, the vehicle will start moving at a low speed. This allows the vehicle to move off more slowly and precisely through controlled application of the brakes, for example when manoeuvring. The set driving speed depends on the gradient and vehicle load.
|
|
|
|
If the Auto Hold function is active, the crawling function is activated only when the accelerator is pressed.
|
|
|
|
# WARNING
|
|
|
|
Selecting the wrong position can cause you to lose control of the vehicle, which can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
|
|
|
|
- Never depress the accelerator when selecting a position.
|
|
|
|
# WARNING
|
|
|
|
Fast acceleration or switching off can lead to a loss of traction and skidding on slippery roads TCS (e.g. in wet or icy conditions) or on dirty road surfaces. This can cause you to lose control of the vehicle and lead to accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
|
|
|
|
- Use the kickdown function or fast acceleration only if visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions permit, and other road users are not put at risk due to the acceleration and the driving style. Always adapt your driving style to the traffic.
|
|
|
|
# WARNING
|
|
|
|
If the vehicle is left unattended with the vehicle's drive system is active, it may lead to accidents and serious injuries.
|
|
|
|
Never leave the vehicle unattended when the vehicle's drive system is active. Always switch off the ignition. When you park or leave the vehicle, always ensure that the electronic parking brake is switched on. When leaving the vehicle always ensure that all doors, windows, the boot lid and bonnet are completely closed and locked. Hold the vehicle by the foot brake if the vehicle's drive system is activated and the position D/B or R is engaged.
|
|
|
|
- Never select reverse gear when the vehicle is in motion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# NOTICE
|
|
|
|
Incorrect handling of the electric drive can result in increased wear or damage.
|
|
|
|
- Allow the vehicle to roll in position only in exceptional cases.- If you stop the vehicle on an incline while a position is selected, do not attempt to stop it from rolling back by depressing the accelerator but press the brake pedal. |
