Driving and operating147Automatic transmission
electrified
This vehicle is a plug-in hybrid
vehicle. It has a combustion engine
and an automatic transmission with
integrated electrical engine which
enables electrical driving and
charging of the battery during the
deceleration and the braking of the
vehicle. Additionally, the battery can
be charged using a cable, e.g., at
domestic electric outlets or public
charging stations. The all-wheel drive version has a second electrical
engine for the rear axle.Gear selectionP:park position, front wheels are
locked, engage only when the
vehicle is stationary and the
parking brake is appliedR:reverse gear, engage only
when the vehicle is stationaryN/P:neutralD/B:automatic mode / automatic
mode with one-pedal driving
Do not accelerate while engaging a
gear. Never depress the accelerator
pedal and brake pedal at the same
time.
When a gear is engaged, the vehicle
slowly begins to creep when the
brake is released.Shifting in / out of P
To shift into P, press P on the selector
lever.
To shift out of P:
1. Depress brake pedal and press the release button.
2. To shift into R, push the selector
forwards beyond the point of

selected.

148Driving and operatingTo shift into B:
1. Shift into D.
2. Push the selector backwards without passing the point of
resistance.
To shift from B to D, push the selector
backwards without passing the point
of resistance.
One-pedal driving With one-pedal driving, the
accelerator pedal can be used to
control the deceleration of the vehicle
down to a complete stop.
Quick releasing of the accelerator
pedal will result in aggressive
deceleration. Slow releasing of the
accelerator pedal will allow the
deceleration of the vehicle to be
adjusted as desired.
To use one-pedal driving, shift into B.
B is only selectable when the vehicle
is in D. Press the accelerator pedal to
achieve the desired speed. The
deceleration provided by one-pedal
driving provides full regenerative
braking by charging the high voltage
battery.Automatic transmission
The automatic transmission permits
automatic gearshifting (automatic
mode) or manual gearshifting
(manual mode).
Manual shifting is possible in manual
mode by tapping the selector lever to + or - 3 149.
Transmission display

in the Driver Information Centre.
In automatic mode, the driving
programme is indicated by D.
In manual mode, M and the number
of the selected gear is indicated.
R indicates reverse gear.
N indicates neutral position.
P indicates park position.
Gear selection
Move the selector lever in the shifting
gate as shown in the illustration
above.

Driving and operating195The counting of driving time alert is
reset when the ignition has been
switched off for a few minutes.
Driver drowsiness detection
The system monitors the driver's level
of vigilance. A camera at the top of the windscreen detects variations in
trajectory compared to the lane
markings. This system is particularly
suited to fast roads (speed higher
than 65 km/h).
If the trajectory of the vehicle
suggests a certain level of
drowsiness or inattention by the
driver, the system triggers the first
level of alert. The driver is notified by
a message and an audible signal is
given.
After three first level alerts, the
system triggers a new alert with a
message, accompanied by a more
pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor
road surface or strong winds), the
system may give alerts independent of the driver's level of vigilance.The driver drowsiness detection is
reinitialised when the ignition has
been switched off for a few minutes or
the speed remains below 65 km/h for a few minutes.
System limitations
In the following situations, the system
may not operate properly or even not operate at all:
● poor visibility caused by inadequate lighting of the
roadway, falling snow, heavy
rain, dense fog etc.
● dazzle caused by headlamps of an oncoming vehicles, low sun,
reflections on damp roads,
leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light etc.
● windscreen area in front of the camera covered by dirt, snow,
stickers etc.
● no lane markings detected or multiple lane markings due to
roadworks
● close vehicles ahead
● winding roads or narrow roadsCharging9 Warning
