Function of the 4MATIC

The flexible all-wheel distribution of the 4MATIC
means the drive is always ideally distributed
between both axles. Depending on the situation,
only the front axle or only the rear axle can be
driven, or the drive can be distributed continu‐
ously between both axles.
This means that recuperation can be used even
more effectively and the range of the vehicle can
be increased ( page 189).
