AUX MERCEDES-BENZ GLE HYBRID 2017 Owners Manual

Overrun mode In overrun mode, the combustion engine is
switched off and is disconnected from the drive
train. The electric motor: R
generates low thrust, which corresponds to
the overrun mode of an active combustion
engine R
functions as a generator and produces the
necessary energy for the auxiliary consumers
and charges the high-voltage battery
Overrun mode is available in the Comfort drive
program at speeds below 80 mph (130 km/h).
Route-based operating strategy For the route-based operating strategy, the sys-
tem factors in information about the expected
route when route guidance is active.
The information on the route is provided by the
multimedia system and includes the following: R
road categories R
speed limitations
The use of electric energy is automatically opti-
mally distributed from the beginning to the end
of the journey, using information about the
route. The distribution is pre-emptive and takes
into consideration: R
the sections of the journey ahead R
the energy consumption on the whole route The condition of charge of the high-voltage bat-
tery is thus systematically controlled. In addi-
tion, the control function takes into account
that: R
the fuel saving through the use of electrical
energy can vary, dependent on the route (e.g.
urban, interurban or highway) R
the use of electrical energy is held available
for electric driving, particularly for urban
routes
The vehicle thus automatically selects the opti-
mum driving mode for the respective section of
the route.
The route-based operating strategy is available
under the following conditions: R
the Individual drive program is selected R
in the Individual drive program, the ECO set-
ting is selected under Drive R
HYBRID driving mode is selected R
active route guidance is activated R
suitable map data is available
When the route-based operating strategy is
being used, the area in front of the vehicle is
shown as green in the multifunction display.24

Auxiliary Battery
Malfunction The auxiliary battery for the automatic transmission is no longer being
charged. X
Visit a qualified specialist workshop. X
Until then, set the automatic transmission to position P before you
switch off the engine. X
Before leaving the vehicle, apply the electric parking brake.
; Pre-Entry Climate
Ctrl. (Via Smart‐
Key) Available
Again After Engine
Start With the engine switched off, you have attempted to switch on the pre-
entry climate control more than twice. X
Let the engine run for ten seconds.
After running the engine, the pre-entry climate control is opera-
tional again.
; Pre-Entry Climate
Ctrl. (Via Smart‐
Key) Inoperative HV
Battery Low The on-board voltage is too low. The pre-entry climate control cannot
be switched on. X
Drive for a longer distance.
The battery is being charged. When the condition of charge of the
high-voltage battery is over the specified minimum, pre-entry cli-
mate control is operational again.
Warning and indicator lamps in the instrument cluster
Safety systems The information "while the engine is running" given in the vehicle Operator's Manual regarding the
signaling behavior of a warning/indicator lamp corresponds to the READY driving status. When a
warning/indicator lamp lights up in the READY driving status with the corresponding information,
the causes/consequences and solutions given in the vehicle Operator's Manual also apply to your
vehicle.48
