PURE
Drive the car with electric motor, with energy
•
consumption as low as possible and with
lowest possible carbon dioxide emissions.
The drive mode maximises driving on the hybrid
battery. This means, for example, that the ground
5
clearance is lower to reduce wind resistance
and the output of certain climate settings is
reduced to provide the longest possible mileage
range on electric power alone.
The Pure mode is available when the hybrid bat-
tery has a sufficiently high energy level. The inter-
nal combustion engine also starts in the Pure
mode if the energy level in the battery falls too
low. The internal combustion engine also starts
if the speed exceeds 125 km/h (78 mph)
•
if the driver requests more motive force than
•
electric drive can provide
in the event of system/component limita-
•
tions, e.g. low outside temperature.
The drive mode is optimised for maximum range
with electric propulsion and especially developed
for urban traffic. Pure means lowest combustion
even when the hybrid battery is empty. The cli-
mate in the passenger compartment is regulated
to Eco climate, and in slippery driving conditions,
more wheel spin can be permitted before all-
wheel drive is activated automatically.
Applies with air suspension.

ECO climate control
In the Pure drive mode, Eco climate control is
activated automatically in the passenger com-
partment in order to reduce energy consumption.
NOTE
When the Pure drive mode is activated, sev-
eral parameters in the climate control sys-
tem's settings are changed, and several elec-
tricity consumer functions are reduced. Cer-
tain settings can be reset manually, but full
functionality is only regained by leaving
drive mode or adapting Individual
with full climate functionality.
In the event of difficulties due to misting, press
the button for max. defroster which has normal
functionality.
OFF ROAD
Maximise the car's traction when driving in
•
difficult terrain and on poor roads.
The drive mode provides high ground clearance
steering is light, all-wheel drive and the function
for low speed control with hill descent control
(Hill Descent Control) are activated.
The drive mode is only available at low speeds, up
to 40 km/h (25 mph). If this speed is exceeded,
Off road mode is cancelled and the AWD drive
mode is activated instead.
To be able to drive all four wheels, the internal
combustion engine and electric motor run contin-
ually, which results in increased fuel consump-
tion.
In the Off road mode the driver display has a
compass between the speedometer and tachom-
eter. The speedometer shows the range for
speed limitation.
