converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into
R
electric energy
% If you brake hard, the mechanical brake is
also used. This means that the maximum
recuperative energy cannot be recovered. The
more you drive and brake in an anticipatory
manner, the more efficiently energy can be
recuperated.
System limits
The braking effect of the electric motor during
recuperation in overrun mode may be reduced or
may not be available at all in the following situa-
tions:
when the high-voltage battery charge level
R
increases
if the high-voltage battery is not yet at a nor-
R
mal operating temperature
In these cases, the desired deceleration is set by
the brake control system.
▌Manually setting recuperative deceleration
You can use the steering wheel paddle shifters to
manually adjust the intensity of recuperation in
overrun mode.
%
When the vehicle is started again, h is auto-
matically set as the recuperation level.
The following recuperation levels are available:
hà Intelligent and anticipatory recupera-
R
tion with ECO Assist ( page 181)
/
hq No recuperation: the vehicle coasts,
R
rolls freely
h Normal recuperation (standard setting)
R
h± Increased recuperation: increased
R
deceleration in overrun mode
To increase recuperation: briefly pull paddle
#
shifter 1.
To reduce recuperation: briefly pull paddle
#
shifter 2.
To select hÃ: pull and hold paddle shifter
#
1 or 2.
The driver's display shows the currently set recu-
peration level next to the transmission position
display.
