WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury when the front
air bags inflate, it is very important for
the driver and passenger to always be in a
properly seated position and to wear their
respective seat belt.
For maximum protection in the event of a
collision always be in normal seated posi-
tion with your back against the backrest.
Fasten your seat belt and ensure it is prop-
erly positioned on your body.
Since the air bag inflates with considera-
ble speed and force, a proper seating and
hands on steering wheel position will help
to keep you at a safe distance from the air
bag.
Occupants who are unbelted, out of position
or too close to the air bag can be seriously
injured or killed by an air bag as it
inflates extremely quickly and with great
force:
R Sit properly belted in a position that is
as upright as possible with your back
against the seat backrest.
R Adjust the driver’s seat as far as possible
rearward, still permitting proper oper-
ation of vehicle controls. The distance
from the center of the driver’s breast-
bone to the center of the air bag cover on
the steering wheel must be at least
10 inches (25 cm) or more. You should be
able to accomplish this by adjustments to
the seat. If you have any problems, please
contact an authorized electric drive
smart center.
R Do not lean your head or chest close to the
steering wheel or dashboard.
R Keep hands on the outside of the steering
wheel rim. Placing hands and arms inside
the rim can increase the risk and poten-
tial severity of hand/arm injury when the
driver’s front air bag inflates. R
Adjust the passenger seat as far as pos-
sible rearward from the dashboard when
the seat is occupied.
R Occupants, especially children, should
never place their bodies or lean their
heads in the area of the door where the
head-thorax air bag (cabriolet) or
thorax-pelvis side air bag (coupé)
inflates. This could result in serious
injuries or death should the head-thorax
air bag (cabriolet) or thorax-pelvis side
air bag (coupé) be deployed. Always sit
as upright as possible, wear the seat belt
properly and use an appropriately sized
infant restraint, toddler restraint, or
booster seat recommended for the size
and weight of the child.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in severe injuries to you or other
occupants.
If you sell your vehicle, it is important that
you make the buyer aware of this safety
information. Be sure to give the buyer this
Operator’s Manual.
i Air bags are designed to deploy only in
certain frontal impacts (front air bags
and knee bags), or side impacts (head-
thorax air bags, window curtain air bags
and thorax-pelvis air bags) which
exceed preset thresholds. Only during
these events will they provide their sup-
plemental protection.
The driver and passenger should always
wear their seat belts. Otherwise it is not
possible for air bags to provide their
supplemental protection.
In case of other types of impacts and
impacts below air bag deployment
thresholds, air bags will not deploy. The
driver and passenger will then be pro-
tected to the extent possible by a prop-
erly fastened seat belt. A properly fas-
tened seat belt is also needed to provide
the best possible protection in a roll-
over. 34

cluster illuminates.
! If the air bags are activated, you will
hear a loud noise and some dust may be
generated. The explosion fundamentally
represents no risk to your hearing.
An inflated air bag slows down and reduces
the movement of the occupant. When the
occupant makes contact with a front air bag
or head-thorax air bag (cabriolet only),
hot gas flows out of the inflated front air
bags and head-thorax air bags (cabriolet
only). This reduces the load on the occu-
pant’s head and upper body. These air bags
are consequently deflated after the acci-
dent.
Driver front air bag/passenger front air
bag The front air bags are designed to reduce
the potential of injury in certain frontal
impacts.
Driver front air bag and passenger front
air bag are deployed
R at the start of an accident with high
vehicle deceleration in the longitudinal
direction
R independently of other air bags in the
vehicle being deployed
R never in the event of a rollover, unless
high vehicle deceleration in the longi-
tudinal direction is detected
i The front air bags in this vehicle have
been designed to inflate in two stages.
This allows the air bag to have different
rates of inflation that are based on the
rate of relevant vehicle deceleration
and a fastened or unfastened seat belt as
assessed by the air bag control unit.
On the passenger side, the front air bag
deployment is additionally influenced
by the passenger’s weight category as
identified by the Occupant Classifica-
tion System (OCS) (Y page 39). The lighter the passenger side occupant,
the higher the vehicle deceleration rate
required for the second stage inflation
of the air bag.
The air bags will not deploy in impacts
which do not exceed the system’s deploy-
ment thresholds. In such instances, the seat
belts are designed to protect you.
The passenger air bag will only be
deployed if
R the system, based on OCS weight sensor
readings, senses that the passenger seat
is occupied and the 0073006F
indicator lamp is not lit (Y page 41)
R the impact exceeds a preset deployment
threshold
The driver front air bag is located in the
steering wheel housing, the passenger
front air bag above the glove box. 0043

Occupant safety>> Safety.

When the OCS senses that the passenger seat
occupant is classified as being up to or
less than the weight of a typical
12‑month‑old child in a standard child
restraint, the 0073006Findicator
lamp will illuminate when the ignition is
switched on and remain illuminated, indi-
cating that the passenger front air bag is
deactivated.
When the OCS senses that the passenger seat
is classified as being empty, the
0073006Findicator lamp will illu-
minate and remains illuminated.
When the OCS senses that the passenger seat
occupant is classified as being heavier
than the weight of a typical 12‑month‑old
child seated in a standard child restraint
or as being a small individual (such as a
young teenager or a small adult), the
0073006Findicator lamp will illu-
minate for approximately 4 seconds when
the ignition is switched on and then,
depending on occupant weight sensor read-
ings from the seat, remains illuminated or
goes out.
When the 0073006Findicator lamp is
illuminated, the passenger front air bag is
deactivated.
When the 0073006Findicator lamp is
out and the passenger seat is occupied by
an adult or someone larger than a small
individual, the passenger front air bag is
activated.
When the OCS senses that the passenger seat
occupant is classified as an adult or some-
one larger than a small individual, the
0073006Findicator lamp will illu-
minate for approximately 4 seconds when
the ignition is switched on and then goes
out, indicating that the passenger front air
bag is activated.
If the 0073006Findicator lamp is
illuminated, the passenger front air bag is
deactivated and will not be deployed. If the
0073006Findicator lamp is not
illuminated, the passenger front air bag is
activated and will be deployed
R in the event of certain frontal impacts
R if impact exceeds a preset deployment
threshold
R independently of the head-thorax air
bags
If the passenger front air bag is deployed,
the rate of inflation will be influenced by
R the rate of vehicle deceleration and a
fastened or unfastened seat belt as
assessed by the air bag control unit
R the passenger’s weight category as iden-
tified by the OCS G
WARNING
Children 12 years old and under must be
seated and properly secured in an appro-
priate infant or child restraint recom-
mended for the size and weight of the child.
The infant or child restraint must be prop-
erly secured with the vehicle’s seat belt,
fully in accordance with the child seat
manufacturer’s instructions.
Children can be killed or seriously injured
by an inflating air bag. Note the following
important information:
R Your vehicle is equipped with air bag
technology designed to turn off the
passenger front air bag in your vehicle
when the system senses the weight of a
typical 12‑month‑old child or less along
with the weight of a standard appropri-
ate child restraint on the passenger seat.
R A child in a rear-facing child restraint
on the passenger seat will be seriously
injured or even killed if the passenger
front air bag inflates in a collision
which could occur under some circum-
stances, even with the air bag technology
installed in your vehicle.
R If you install a rear-facing child
restraint on the passenger seat, make 40

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.
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. 0043

X Decrease recuperation: Pull left steer-
ing wheel paddle shifter 0043.
X Increase recuperation: Pull right steer-
ing wheel paddle shifter 0044.
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.80

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 %.
Resetting the 0096STARTSTART menu (Y page 90),
sets the value of the ECO indicator back to
50 %.

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)
