Characteristics with moderate po
wer output
re qu ests:
R The combustion engine is switched o. as
oTen as possible during the journe y.
R The vehicle can, depending on the drive pro-
gr am selected and the battery charge leve l, be
accelerated electrically up tospeeds of about
140 km/h.
Characteristics with high po wer output requ ests:
R The electric mo tor supports the combustion
engine (boost e.ect), e.g. when pulling away
or accelerating.
R The high-voltage battery is discharging.
Characteristics when releasing the accelerator
pedal during the journe y:
R The electric mo tor is operated as a alternator
when in overrun mode and during braking.
R The high-voltage battery is charging.
No tes on elect ric mode:
R Vehicles with hybrid systems generate signi/-
cant lyless noise when stationary and when being driven
than vehicles with combustion
engines.
R When driving in elect ric mode, theve hicle may
not be heard by otherroad users due tothe
signi/cant lyreduced noise generated.
It is forth is reason that theve hicle is equip-
ped with a sound generator, which ser ves as
an acoustic vehicle warning system (A VAS).
R If not all of theve hicle conditions for electric
mode are met, then the combustion engine is
switched on.
