WARNING
A vehicle with an electric motor produces
significantly lower noise levels than a
vehicle with a combustion engine. Other
motorists or pedestrians, especially those
who are visually or hearing impaired, may
be unable to hear your vehicle while it is
in motion. This is particularly true when
driving at lower speeds and during parking
maneuvers. At all times, it is the
responsibility of the driver to be aware of
their surroundings, especially in these low
speed situations. Otherwise other road
users could be seriously or fatally injured. 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
pedals still have sufficient clearance.
During sudden acceleration or braking
maneuvers, the objects could get caught
between or beneath the pedals and restrict
your ability to brake or accelerate. This
could lead to accidents and/or injury.

WARNING
Getting out of your vehicle with the
transmission not fully engaged in park
position Pis 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
P alone may not prevent your vehicle from
moving, possibly hitting people or
objects.
Always engage the parking brake in
addition 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
children 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
ignition 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
pedals still have sufficient clearance.
During sudden acceleration or braking
maneuvers, the objects could get caught
between or beneath the pedals and restrict
your 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
towing the vehicle
The braking distance is likewise greater.
Make sure the drive system is active
whenever 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. 76
Driving and parking>> Controls.
* optional

If a brake circuit has failed (Y
page 160),
you must depress brake pedal 0002further
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.

recuperation)*
G
WARNING
The operating condition of the high-
voltage battery (e.g. not yet at normal
operating temperature or fully charged)
influences the braking effect of the
electric motor.
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. Transmission
77>> Controls.
* optional Z

Compensate for the reduced engine braking
effect by pressing the brake pedal
accordingly, as required.
Using the steering wheel paddle shifters,
you can increase or decrease the
recuperation in overrun phases.
Recuperation means that energy is
recovered while driving - the electric
motor functions as a generator. The kinetic
energy of the vehicle is converted into
electric power and stored in the high-
voltage battery. The more the recuperation
increases, the more the vehicle will be
decelerated.
In overrun phases, there are three levels of
recuperation:
R no recuperation (level 0, coasting)
R mid-level recuperation (level 1)
R high-level recuperation (level 2)
The amount of recuperation in overrun
mode is displayed in the power gauge
(Y page 79).
When you switch on the ignition, level 1 is
automatically preset. X
Decrease recuperation: Pull left
steering wheel paddle shifter 0002.
X Increase recuperation: Pull right
steering wheel paddle shifter 0003.Use the different levels 0 to 2 for
conditions 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
setting.
Level 2 Sporty driving.
The break pedal has to be
depressed less often, as the
deceleration due to
recuperation is higher than
in level 1.
The energy efficiency is
substantially higher than if
the vehicle is decelerated by
depressing the brake pedal.
At levels
1and 2the vehicle can be
steplessly decelerated by depressing the
brake pedal.
i Under certain circumstances, in
overrun phases recuperation does not
work as described above. This may be e. g
the case if the high-voltage battery is
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
addition to shifting to park position P.78
Transmission>> Controls.

!
When the hill‑start assist system stops
braking the vehicle, it can roll
backwards.
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
system maintains the pressure in the brake
system for approximately one second after
you have released the brake pedal.
Therefore, you can start off smoothly
without the vehicle moving immediately
after releasing the brake pedal.
X Release the brake pedal.
X Apply sufficient pressure to the
accelerator 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
signal sounds and the transmission
position indicator shows a flashing 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
accelerator pedal to drive off.
