Introduction
G
WARNING
The following factors increase the risk of
accidents:
R Excessive speed, especially in turns
R Wet and slippery road surfaces
R Following another vehicle too closely
The driving safety systems described in
this section cannot reduce these risks or
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle.
Always adapt your driving style to the pre-
vailing road and weather and traffic con-
ditions and keep a safe distance to other
road users and objects on the street.
i In winter operation, the maximum
effectiveness of the ABS, the hydraulic
brake assistant, and the ESP ®
is only ach-
ieved with winter tires (Y page 146) or
snow chains* as required. Antilock Brake System (ABS)
G
WARNING
Do not pump the brake pedal. Use firm,
steady brake pedal pressure instead. Pump-
ing the brake pedal defeats the purpose of
the ABS and significantly reduces braking
effectiveness.
The Antilock BrakeSystem (ABS) regulates
the brake pressure so that the wheels do not
lock during braking. This allows you to
maintain the ability to steer your vehicle.
On slippery road surfaces, the ABS will
respond even to light brake pressure.
The ABS indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster (Y page 24) comes on when you
switch on the ignition. It goes out when the
drive system is active.
Braking At the instant one of the wheels is about to
lock up, a slight pulsation can be felt in
the brake pedal, indicating that the ABS is
regulating the brake pressure.
X
Keep firm and steady pressure on the
brake pedal while experiencing the pul-
sation.
Continuous, steady brake pedal pressure
yields the advantages provided by the ABS,
namely braking power and the ability to
steer the vehicle.
A pulsating brake pedal can be an indica-
tion of hazardous road conditions and
functions as a reminder to take extra care
while driving.
Emergency brake maneuver X
Keep continuous full pressure on the
brake pedal. G
WARNING
When the ABS is malfunctioning, the
hydraulic brake assistant and the ESP ®
are
also switched off. 46

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

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.
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. !
Do not hang any objects on the power
gauge.
This could cause the power gauge to be
torn from its mountings and be damaged.
Power gauge 0044contains two segments:
R Section right of 0
Power gauge 0044indicates the current
power that the drive system delivers to
the rear wheels. 100 % correspond to
55 kW peak power.
R Section left of 0
When you release the accelerator pedal
or when you depress the brake pedal, the
electric motor operates as a generator.
Electric current is produced and stored
in the high-voltage battery. As long as
the high-voltage battery is being
charged, the electric motor simulates an
engine brake.
When the pointer of power gauge 0044is in
the "OFF“ position, the vehicle is not ready
to drive, because:
R the drive system has not been started
R the gear selector lever has not been
moved to position Nor Pwhen starting
the drive system
R the charging cable is connected to the
vehicle
R there is not enough power from the high-
voltage battery
R a problem occured in the high-voltage
system
After the drive system has been started, the
pointer of power gauge 0044moves to posi-
tion 0.READY

No recuperation (level 0)
0043
Symbol for no recuperation
When this mode is set, there is no recuper-
ation. When you release the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle rolls on unbraked.
Use this mode in situations when driving
without frequent braking, for example on
highways.
Moderate recuperation (level 1) Moderate recuperation occurs when this
mode is set. When you release the acceler-
ator pedal, the vehicle is slightly braked.
Gained kinetic energy is converted into
electrical energy by the electric motor.
This energy is stored in the high-voltage
battery.
This mode is set as standard when starting
the drive system.
Use this mode in situations of well-bal-
anced relationship between accelerating
and braking, for example on cross-country
rides. High recuperation (level 2) 0043
Symbol for high recuperation
High recuperation occurs when this mode
is set. When you release the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle is deeply braked. Energy
conversion of kinetic energy to electrical
energy is most effective in this mode.
Use this mode in situations in which you
need to brake frequently, for example while
driving stop-and-go in city traffic. Maximum available power
G
WARNING
When the indicator for the maximum avail-
able power is not at its maximal range, the
power output is reduced noticeably. Adapt
your speed and driving accordingly. Oth-
erwise, you could cause an accident. Exer-
cise particular care when passing or accel-
erating. The indicator for the maximum available
power of the drive system contains three
segments
0043. The number of dark segments
indicates power that is currently availa-
ble. Control system
85>> Controls. Z

R
Three segments: maximum power is
available.
R Two segments: Less than 66 % amount of
power is available.
R One segment: Less than 33 % amount of
power is available.
Under normal operating conditions the
indicator for the maximum power is at the
maximum range 0043.
The available amount of power can vary
from the the maximum range due to:
R very high or low outside temperatures
R very high power demand over a long time
period
R very low charge level of the high-voltage
battery
By charging the high-voltage battery, the
reduced availability of power can be
improved (Y page 114). ECO indicator
ECO indicator
0043helps you to optimize
your driving style. The energy consumption
of your vehicle can be reduced and the
cruising range can be increased.
The calculated ECO value in percent indi-
cates if and how your driving style differs
from an ideal driving style (100 %).
It is calculated from the dynamic factors
R acceleration
R braking behavior
R constant driving Feedback is provided by:
R
your driving style when accelerating and
coasting
-If you accelerate evenly and moder-
ately, the ECO value increases. If you
accelerate hard, the ECO value
decreases.
- Anticipatory, constant driving and
coasting without sudden braking
increases the ECO value.
R the uniformity of your driving style
-If you accelerate moderately, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal early
and avoid frequent braking, your driv-
ing style is constant and uniform.Thus,
the ECO value increases.
The ECO indicator summarizes the driving
characteristics from the start of the jour-
ney to its completion. For this reason, it
changes dynamically at the beginning of
the journey.
After a prolonged standstill of the vehicle,
ECO indicator display 0043always starts at
a value of 50 %.
