To minimize risk to you and to others, acti-
vate headlamps by turning exterior lamp
switch to position Lwhen driving or
when traffic and/or ambient lighting con-
ditions require you to do so.
In low ambient lighting conditions, only
switch from position ÃtoL with the
vehicle at a standstill in a safe location.
Switching from position ÃtoL will
briefly switch off the headlamps. Doing so
while driving in low ambient lighting con- ditions may result in an accident.
The automatic headlamp feature is only an
aid to the driver. The driver is responsible
for the operation of the vehicle’s lights at
all times.

WARNING
With the drive system inactive, there is no power assistance for the brake and steering
systems. In this case, it is important to
keep in mind that a considerably higher
degree of effort is necessary to brake and
steer the vehicle. Adapt your driving
accordingly. G
WARNING
Vehicle movement can cause serious per-
sonal injury. Therefore, always do the fol-
lowing before exiting and leaving the
vehicle: R Keep right foot on the brake pedal.
R Engage the parking brake.
R Move the gear selector lever to park
position P.
R Slowly release the brake pedal.
R When parked on an incline, always turn

When the ignition is switched on, the
brake warning lamp $(USA only) or
J (Canada only) in the instrument
cluster comes on. G
WARNING
Getting out of your vehicle with the trans-
mission not fully engaged in park position P is dangerous. When the drive system is
switched off and the brakes are released,
the vehicle can be moved freely with the
gear selector lever in all positions except
park position P. Also, when parked on an
incline, park position Palone may not pre-
vent your vehicle from moving, possibly
hitting people or objects. Always engage the parking brake in addi-
tion to shifting to park position P.
When parked on an incline, always turn the
front wheels towards the curb. G
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from the starter switch, take it with
you, and lock the vehicle. Do not leave chil- dren unattended in the vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Children
could release the parking brake and/or
move the gear selector lever from park
position P, either of which could result in
an accident and/or serious personal
injury.
Brake pedal The brake pedal has two brake circuits
independent of each other. When the igni-
tion is switched on, a brake servo is used
during braking to increase pedal force. G
WARNING
Make sure absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals’ range of motion.
Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all
obstacles. If there are any floormats* or
carpets in the footwell, make sure the ped- als still have sufficient clearance.
During sudden acceleration or braking
maneuvers, the objects could get caught
between or beneath the pedals and restrictyour ability to brake or accelerate. This
could lead to accidents and/or injury. G
WARNING
Considerably more effort will be required
to apply the brakes if
R the brake servo has failed
R a brake circuit has failed
R the ignition is switched off, e.g. for tow-
ing the vehicle
The braking distance is likewise greater. 78

Make sure the drive system is active when-
ever the vehicle is rolling. Have the brake system repaired at an authorized electric
drive smart center, if there is a fault in the
brake system. If a brake circuit has failed (Y
page 167),
you must depress brake pedal :further
down to achieve the same effect and the
braking distance is increased.
i The brake servo will only function with
the ignition switched on. Switching off the drive system
G
WARNING
Do not turn off the drive system before the
vehicle has come to a complete stop. With
the drive system not running, there is no
power assistance for the brake and steering systems. In this case, it is important to
keep in mind that a considerably higher
degree of effort is necessary to brake and
steer the vehicle.

G
WARNING
The operating condition of the high-volt-
age battery (e.g. not yet at normal operat-
ing temperature or fully charged) influen- ces the braking effect of the electric
motor. Transmission
79>> Controls.
* optional Z
Page 82 of 222
In overrun or braking mode, the motor's
braking effect may therefore be reduced or may not be present at all.
As a result of the reduced engine braking
effect, you may cause an accident and
injure yourself or others.
Compensate for the reduced engine braking
effect by pressing the brake pedal accord-
ingly, as required.
Using the steering wheel paddle shifters*, you can increase or decrease the recuper-
ation in overrun phases. Recuperation
takes place when you release the acceler-
ator pedal. The electric motor will then be
used as a generator and energy will be
regained while driving. The regained
energy is stored in the high-voltage bat-
tery. High recuperation decelerates your
vehicle stronger.
In overrun phases, there are three levels of recuperation:
R no recuperation (level 0, coasting)
R moderate recuperation (level 1)
R high-level recuperation (level 2)
The amount of recuperation in overrun
mode is displayed in the power gauge
(Y page 81).
The set mode for recuperation is shown in
the recuperation display (Y page 84).
When you switch on the ignition, level 1 is
automatically preset. :
Left steering wheel paddle shifter
(minus)
; Right steering wheel paddle shifter
(plus)
X Decrease recuperation: Pull left steer-
ing wheel paddle shifter :.
X Increase recuperation: Pull right steer-
ing wheel paddle shifter ;.
Use the different levels 0 to 2 for condi-
tions as described below: Level 0 Driving without frequent
breaking. No sharp bends on
the road ahead.
Maximum kinetic energy
remains for the vehicle.
Level 1 Normal driving, standard set-
ting. Level 2 Sporty driving.
The break pedal has to be
depressed less often, as the
deceleration due to recuper-
ation is higher than in level
1.
The energy efficiency is sub-
stantially higher than if the
vehicle is decelerated by
depressing the brake pedal. At levels 1 and 2 the vehicle can be step-
lessly decelerated by depressing the brake
pedal.
i Under certain circumstances, in over-
run phases recuperation does not work as
described above. This may be e. g the 80

already fully charged or has not reached
operating temperature. Driving tips
Driving on uphill grades G
WARNING
The hill-start assist system is not
designed to function as a parking brake and
does not prevent the vehicle from moving
when parked on an incline.
Always engage the parking brake in addi-
tion to shifting to park position P.
! When the hill‑start assist system stops
braking the vehicle, it can roll back-
wards.
If you open the driver’s door, the
hill‑start assist system is deactivated
and a warning signal sounds.
Your vehicle has a hill‑start assist system. On uphill grades the hill‑start assist sys-
tem maintains the pressure in the brake
system for approximately one second after
you have released the brake pedal. There-
fore, you can start off smoothly without the
vehicle moving immediately after releas-
ing the brake pedal.
X Release the brake pedal.
X Apply sufficient pressure to the accel-
erator pedal to drive off.
On uphill grades with higher inclination,
the hill-start assist system will release
the pressure in the brake system after
approximately two seconds. A warning sig-
nal sounds and the transmission position
indicator shows a flashing N
N in order to
warn you of the vehicle rolling backwards.
X Press the brake pedal.
X Release the brake pedal.
X Apply sufficient pressure to the accel-
erator pedal to drive off. i
The hill‑start assist system is inactive
if you start off with the parking brake
engaged.
Recuperation If the high-voltage battery is fully
charged or too cold, only limited recuper-
ation power will be available.
The vehicle can not be decelerated or limi-
ted in being decelerated by using the
accelerator pedal, if
R the gearshift selector lever is in posi-
tion Dand the vehicle is rolling back-
wards
R the gearshift selector lever is in posi-
tion Rand the vehicle is rolling for-
wards.

WARNING
The outside temperature display is not
designed as an ice-warning device and is
therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Indicated temperatures just above the
freezing point do not guarantee that the
road surface is free of ice. The road may
still be icy, especially in wooded areas or on bridges. Your vehicle could start to skid if you do not adjust your driving style
accordingly.
Therefore, always adjust your driving style
to the prevailing road and weather condi-
tions. Example illustration (U.S. vehicles)
