Mercedes-Benz tests original pa rts and con ver-

Depending on the selected recuperation le vel,the
electric mo tors are operated as an alternator
when in overrun mode and during braking in order to
charge the high-voltage battery while driving.
As soon as youta ke your foot o. the accelerator
pedal when theve hicle is in motion and in trans-
mission position h,recuperation in overrun
mode is initiated.
The higher there cuperation, the more sharply the
ve hicle is braked when coasting and the more
electrical energy is fed into the high-voltage bat-
te ry.
The recuperative brake system has thefo llowing
ch aracteristics:
R supports braking with elect ronically cont rolled
brake forc e boosting
R con verts th e kinetic energy of theve hicle into
elect ric energy
% Ifyo u brake hard, the mechanical brake is
also used. This means that the maximum
re cuperative energy cannot be reco vered. The
more you drive and brake in an anticipatory
manner, the more e1cient lyenergy can be
re cuperated. Syst
Syst em limits em limits
The braking e.ect of the electric mo tor during
re cuperation in overrun mode may be reduced or
may not be available at all in thefo llowing situa-
tions:
R when the high-voltage battery charge level
increases
R ifth e high-voltage battery is not yet at a nor-

cate the maximum permissible speed recom-
mended byactive range moni toring. It is the
driver's ownre sponsibility tocomply with

- Automatically limits the speed tothe maxi-

Sign Assist
- Additionally limits the speed tothe maxi-
mum permissible speed recommended by active
range moni toring when theElectric
Intelligence route option is on and route
guidance is active in order toreach the
next scheduled charging station.
% IfTra1c Sign Assist does not de tect a maxi-
mum permissible speed and range moni toring
is inactive, the last speci/ed maximum per-
missible speed will be used as the limit speed.
The maximum limit speed set bythe /r stpoint
of resis tance is 140 km/h.
The limit speed set bythe /rst point of resis tance
will be sh own on the speedome ter. The segments
between the cur rently driven speed and the limit
speed will light up in green. For e1ciency rea-
sons, small deviations between the cur rently
driven speed and the limit speed are permitted.
If yo u depress the accelerator pedal be yond the
/r st point of resis tance, the limit speed will be
deactivated. The green segments on the speed-
ome ter will not be shown. When the accelerator
pedal is before the /r stpoint of resis tance again,
th e limit speed will be reactivated, thus making
sure that the maximum permissible speed is main-
ta ined again. If a
vehicle in front is de tected, the speed will be
re duced in order tofollow theve hicle in front at
an adjusted dis tance.
If th eve hicle de tects road and tra1c conditions
th at requ ire deceleration, theve hicle will no lon-
ge r be propelled and will coast. Tocause theve hi-
cle todecelerate, release the accelerator pedal.
How much theve hicle will decelerate automati-
cally when the accelerator pedal is released
depends on the set recuperation le vel
( / page 158). In hÃ, deceleration will be
automatic where there are vehicles in front, tra1c
signs, roundabouts and bends. In all other recu-
peration le vels, a permanently de/ned overrun
to rque will be set. If the situation calls for it, you
must also depress the brake pedal rega rdless of
th e selected recuperation le vel.
If yo u activate Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC
or cruise control in drive prog ram Í, the limit
speed will be deactivated bythe /rst point of
re sis tance. If you deactivate the function again,
th e limit speed set bythe point of resis tance will
be switched on again. 162
