alternator MERCEDES-BENZ EQC SUV 2022 Owners Manual

The inner segment will not light up and
the outer
segment will em pty when thefo llowing driving
style is adop ted:
R 1 Sporty acceleration
R 2 Heavy braking
R 3 Fluctuations in speed
The ECO display will show you when you ha ve
driven economicall y:
R The thre e outer segments are comple tely /lled
simul taneous ly.
R The ECO display lights up.
The additional range achie ved as a result of your
driving style in comparison with a driver with a
ve ry sporty driving st yle is shown under Bonus
from start. The range displa yed does not indicate
a /xed reduction in consum ption. R R

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

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-
mal operating temp erature
In these cases, the desired deceleration is set by
th e brake control system.
